Thailand

Until recently, downhill skiing was an ideal vacation for me during the winter holidays. Only on skis can aesthetics be so harmoniously combined.

magnificent mountain landscapes with good physical activity and enjoyment of speed. After a day's movement in the frosty air, it's so nice

sit in a warm restaurant with a glass of beer. However, after I broke my leg two years ago (not on skis) and underwent two surgeries, skiing had to

postpone, and maybe forever. After that, I began to look for another opportunity for outdoor activities.

The agency offered me to try snorkeling. Of course, there is no breathtaking speed here, but there is a feeling of soaring, a feeling that you can

move around in a 3D world. And for $780 they sent me to about. Phuket.

I am one of those people who tend to save money on housing and spend it on excursions. However, we really liked the hotel.

Royal Crown is located on a mountainside one and a half km from the sea. Our patio with a swimming pool and surrounded on three sides by 3 storey buildings

the fourth side looks at a large mountain rising 500 m to Patong. The whole mountain is covered with forest, and we see only it and only the green forest.

This creates a very private atmosphere, and we are spared the need to see unsightly

the narrow streets of Patong with motley houses, over which the needle of the Patong Tower Hotel rises above the local Ohta Center.

I will not bore you with a retelling of trips on excursions - all this must be seen and experienced by yourself.

For the curious, I can clarify the budget:

Four group tours - 20800 baht (for two).

Scooter rental (5 days) - 1150 baht

Gasoline for a motorcycle about 200 baht

Fees for independent excursions - 1600 baht (for two).

Food, souvenirs - 15267 baht (for two)

and I want to share the feeling:

Evening. My wife and I are walking along the wet sand of an empty beach.
Quietly the surf rustles. Above us is the black southern starry sky. I raise my head and

I burst out: “Yo-my, here in Thailand even in the summer the constellation of Orion is visible! » «What summer? ” my wife reasoned with me. “Today is January 29th. ”

"Yeees! I think, “If I completely forgot about the time in which I live, then the rest was a success. ” Phuket is a great place to completely disconnect from

everyday life, but we have to go home. We haven't seen everything yet. However, I do not know if I will ever return to the court or not. Life is short
