мой Тай-рай!!! my Tai Paradise!!!

Hello friends! I want to tell you about my first stay in the country of smiles - Thailand. Emotions subsided a little, but still in the soul there were such warm memories. This country conquered me, first of all, with an open heart. Yes Yes! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! I flew there with my husband, it so happened that our son went to rest with my parents, but we decided not to waste time and indulge in bliss on a paradise island. From the airport we drove 40 minutes to our hotel on Karon Beach. From the minus, we immediately got to +30, and of course, acclimatization made itself felt. The first three days we came to our senses. What they were doing? We had breakfast, swam in the clear sea, tried to sunbathe, although sunbathing at the equator with my skin is too risky : ))) At 10 am it got so hot that we moved under the palm trees and lay on the sand for another hour, which creaks interestingly. For lunch we went to cafes, the benefit is near the hotel in both directions, where you can’t go everywhere there is food !! ! Oh, blissful Thai food! It is something! ! All kinds of seafood in sauces, fish, rice! By the way, I personally don’t like rice, but the Thais cook it so tasty that I ate it on both cheeks every day. It is better to keep silent about fruits, because saliva drip-drip on the keyboard : ))) Cheap exotic fruits, coconuts, ice cream, all kinds of cocktails and smoothies cause children's delight! You can talk endlessly about Thai food... The main thing is if you don't like spicy food, ask: No spicy! Although in Phuket, Thais have adapted food to Europeans and already know that we don’t eat spicy.

On the 4th day, we decided that it was enough to do seal rest, it was time to shake the rolls! In the evening we were looking for the direction of the famous Bangla Road to Patong. Asking a stranger where we should go, the guys answered cheerfully: go with us! so we went) it's very easy to make friends in Thailand, because the relaxed atmosphere, Chang beer is very relaxing, isn't it? We got into a tuk-tuk (these are small open taxi cars) and rushed off in search of adventure loudly and with music. The guys turned out to be local, Muscovites in general! ) The fisherman sees the fisherman from afar : ))) Bangla road is very similar to the Moscow Arbat. Only there they offer slightly different services and entertainment : )) and after a while you really have to grow old and literally shove the Thais with your hands who offer you coke, sex and other nonsense : )) But! it's fun there, we walked for a long time, looking for a good place, which is remarkable, all the bars are open and you can watch what's going on inside. We wandered into a cozy little bar to the sounds of Red Hot Chilly Peppers, Give it away. By the way, the Thais performed it well. And ponelaaaaaaas... Mojito cocktails, and dancing to rock. I haven't been out like this in a long time! Just music and dancing. I won’t tell you about how they tricked me into being pulled onto the stage to perform sexy dances) they inspired a couple of mojitos and a husband standing in front of the stage screaming come on : ))) But it will be something to remember and be ashamed to tell the children)

The coolest memories of a two-day excursion. I'll tell you, you can and even need to take it to the tour desk on the streets, they are good enough, since the guide at the hotel has the same excursion a little more expensive. We spent about 320 bucks on it, expensive for two, but it's worth it! And so, what I liked: the Divine Islands of Similan! Where is heaven? Tai-rai. . . yes, yes! I wasn't wrong! I have never had such amazing views in my life, and I will remember them forever. Head spinning from the view from above! Azure water, white sand beaches, jungle! ! A riot of colors takes you into your imaginary world and here you are and you can’t believe your happiness, delight! no more! There are probably no words to describe it all, a must see for everyone! The underwater world, of course, may be inferior to the Red Sea, but it is just as beautiful. Cons of the tour: everything is running, there is very little time to look at the beauties, so if you are traveling on your own, then stay on the islands for a couple of days.

The second day we spent in the province of Krabi. Jungle, monitor lizards, monkeys, elephant riding and magnificent temples were waiting for us. Anyone who has even a little practiced yoga, its spiritual part, knows what Buddhism is and will understand the religion of the smiling people. It is understandable and close to me, so in their temples I felt myself in my place, calmly and a little in bliss. Very beautiful temples, an ancient religion, which I respect very much. You don’t need to understand it, but you need to feel it with your heart (however, like the rest), but we won’t go deep. . .

This is a brief description of my impressions, I will not write about the sightseeing tour, the botanical garden, by the way, is very beautiful! Oh, and the bird park. Such tours are for acquaintance.

I think it's worth living for trips like this, right? To break out of the gray everyday life, but the weather (Moscow region) is not conducive to us yet, we want more warmth and sun, which we took with us completely! I didn’t bring a tan, but we brought a lot of fruits, cosmetics, gifts (all kinds of Thai balms, coconut oil, where without it! Creams, scrubs, masks, patches under the eyes, soap, in general, girls’ joys : )) I would have taken more watermelons, coconuts, shells, but alas, we obey the rules. . .

A photo! thousands of photos!!! ! Now they will remind me of my first trip to Asia. I'll be back! ! and show you to my son. He must see you, my Tai-rai.
