Meeting the guide and at the reception
At 12:30 at the Phuket airport I met the Russian guide Artur (sloven and irresponsible, be more careful with him) from Coral. At the airport, they handed out free SIM cards, take the more, the better, because it already has money and free MB, and a minute of a call to Russia cost 3 rubles !! ! By 14:00 local time, we were brought to the hotel, two girls were waiting for us at the reception, who gave us a massage of the neck, head and forearm for free and with pleasure (we relaxed after a 9-hour flight).
Number
The first room in which we were settled was on the first floor overlooking the road, where shuttle buses (hotel cars) constantly traveled, on the very first day it started to rain, which flooded the entire balcony for us, there was unbearable dampness in the room and crawled from the bushes near the balcony In the room all sorts of insects (midges, spiders... ). The next day, we could not stand it and asked to be moved to the second floor, it turned out to be much better there, but not much (there is less roar of cars, less damp, there were no spiders and you can walk naked without being afraid that someone will see). The room had a safe, an umbrella large and small (if you go for a walk in the rain together, take a large umbrella), hairdryer, tea set (coffee, tea, milk (powder), sugar), refrigerator, TV, air conditioning, bathrobes and disposable slippers.
Breakfast
For breakfast, we went up more often on foot - instead of charging, but you can also use shuttle buses. Breakfasts are quite varied (scrambled eggs with different fillings, fried potatoes, pasta, rice, pilaf, corn flakes, milk, nuts, sauces, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, stewed vegetables, sausages, ham, chicken, tea, coffee, juices, buns, jam, pineapples, watermelons, mangoes, bananas, etc. ), but by the 10th day of rest everything was already fed up.
Hotel location
Near the room was a swimming pool, sunbeds, umbrellas for free. The hotel is located on a hill on the edge of Patong, away from noisy establishments. It takes 15-20 minutes to walk along the coast to the central street, where there are discos, but you can also take the free bus that runs on schedule from the hotel. The sea is, indeed, 200 meters from the hotel, but this beach is full of rubbish and only Russians sunbathe and swim there.
Purchases
To the right of the hotel there is a Family Mart (mini market) where, among other things, you can buy a hot dog or a hamburger. Just a little further than the minimarket there is a place where you can order excursions, 2 times cheaper than the Russian guide and 1.5 times cheaper than in the center of Patong. On the basis of the hotel there is a tailoring studio, we ordered a suit and a shirt for my husband, and a dress for me, they gave 9 thousand rubles for everything. (1 ruble u003.1 baht) and they gave a tie as a gift, a suit with a shirt came out 5.5, which is normal, but a dress of 3.5 is a little expensive, given that in local markets you can buy dresses for 250 baht, all sorts of different ones, but be sure you have to bargain (for example, when buying a dress, the initial price was called 900 baht, and they bargained up to 300 baht). You can make purchases at the markets (it is advisable to go deeper, further from the sea, it is cheaper and there is more choice), in the center of Patong there is a huge Ceylong store with an underground market (the market is quite expensive, and in the Ceylong store itself you can get good sales), there are also a lot of services, for example, we went for a face reading and a fish pedicure. Fish pedicure is located in the underground market (there is also a massage), but after this procedure it is advisable to wash your feet with soap, and then just put on your shoes, because. Aquarium water smells very bad. There is also a huge Central Festival shopping center, a free bus runs from the hotel on schedule, but you need to book in advance.
Excursions
1. Free tour from Coral. A very interesting, informative and instructive tour led by the girl Asya (Clever Girl!!! ), instead of Arthur (who was always late and lost). The first place we visited was a Buddhist temple; the second is a jewelry factory where you can buy very beautiful items with precious stones; the third is the Chinese temple; fourth - a snake farm, where we were waiting for a detailed story about snakes and a performance with them, as well as the sale of various medicines from snake bile, etc. ; the fifth is a latex factory; the sixth is a souvenir shop (souvenirs are best bought here, we regretted that we didn’t stock up there, because you can’t buy this on the market, for example, soap on the market from 80 baht and above, and here for 40), an exotic fruit market ( We did not dare to buy, but now we regret it).
2. Fantasy show (1550 baht per person) - tip: go there last if you have money left. Everything is bright, everything glitters, first we went to eat a variety of dishes, then we went to the show, which consisted of national dances, acrobatic exercises, pets and elephants ran around the stage and, sorry, crap. All that can be seen here, in my opinion, is just the scenery.
3. o. Phi Phi (1000 baht per person) - fins were rented (100 baht), masks and snorkels were given out, a ride on a speedboat, a hearty lunch. Be sure to take an underwater camera with you, its cost is from 550 to 450 baht for 25 shots. Take motion sickness pills just in case.
4. Safari (1000 baht per person) - there are trips in the morning, and there are from lunch, take it in the morning, because we went from lunch and did not have time to go to the orchid farm, because it got dark. Take motion sickness pills, jeeping is crazy. We looked at Thai agriculture in miniature, at Thai boxing, ate Thai food (spicy and sour), the performance of monkeys and elephants (much more interesting than on a fantasy show), rode super elephants, swam in canoes, did a fish pedicure.
5. Similian Islands (2000 baht per person) - be sure to rent fins and buy an underwater camera, masks and snorkels will be issued. Indescribable beauty!! ! The underwater world is amazing. If possible, stay overnight (the cost increases from 4000 and above, depending on where you want to spend the night).
