Thailand visited many of our acquaintances, all after were in a wild delight. But I never really wanted to fly there. At least because of a long flight. As it turned out, in vain. February is not so rich in the choice of resorts. In Europe, it is cold on the southern part. Asia remained, where heat is always. Therefore, it was decided to fly to Thailand on Samui. The island is located 750 km from the capital - Bangkok, charter flights there simply do not fly. Getting to the island will have to be plane or ferry. The flight time takes 50 minutes, a trip to the ferry about 12 hours.
There are a lot of accommodation options. Nowhere is not presented so many options. For any budget! You can stay in the hotel or rent a house, villa, apartments. You can rent on arrival or on the Internet. Companies providing this service, great many, most importantly, and carefully look. Dawn on Samui around five o'clock in the morning. At this time the sun is already warming, but not so hot and fresh in some places. Water is always transparent and clean. The only minus is or the bottom, which is not very pleasant to come. Where better to swim! The process of beach recreation is great: umbrellas, sun beds, tropical non-alcoholic cocktails, surf noise and burning sun! Which is very dangerous and does not spare anyone. Gather here, not wanting to. You can just walk around the island for a few hours, but the tan will get such that I will envy any fan of the sun. Main pastime on the island - tan and swimming. The island is small, but there are many beaches on any, even the most discerning taste. The beaches of Samui are chic, but there is the time of tides and sings, spoiling the impression. Holidays on Samui is the most expensive in Thailand. Therefore, there are fewer tourists, a calm spiritual situation, silence and beautiful untouched nature. The local population is more open than on the same Phuket or in Bangkop, smiling, sociable, kind. Movement on the island island. The cost of travel on Tuk-Tuka is 60 baht, by taxi from 200 baht. There is a hire of a bike from 150 baht per day, in the case of rent for a longer time, make a discount. This is the most profitable version with transport. But the island is very complex and unusual movement for us. Better walk or take a taxi. It is worth remembering that far on the legs on Samui did not leave, because of the size of the island, so we moved in the art.
On the island there is a Giant Shopping Center Central Festival, which is located on Chawenge. Where there is an opportunity and eat, and buy absolutely everything: clothing, cosmetics and other trifles. Prices are not much different from the prices on the mainland. The waterfall is a separate topic, such huge waterfalls in life I have not yet seen. In Samui, it is a real, large waterfall, in several tiers, with wooden bridges. It will have to go to it 25 minutes to the mountain, in stone locality.
Center island - jungle. On the island of Samui, visit the statue of Big Buddha - 12 meter gilded sculpture of the Buddha, which is the symbol of the whole island. Fans of night entertainment should move towards Volking Street at Chawenge. There are restaurants, a night market, local shops that work around the clock, bars, nightclubs, massage salons, famous for the whole world of show transvestites. On the island there are many travel firms, where you can buy absolutely all excursions, which will show the most interesting places on the island. But Russian-speaking guides are not found on Samui. If the island is still bored, you can order a maritime excursion to the park Ang Tong, without unforgettable emotions and photographs no one will return from there.
Arriving to Samui island, we will definitely not be bored. After all, in the morning and during the day you can pick up on the beach and swim, admire the sea landscapes and walk along the coast. You can go for an interesting study tour. In the evening, it is not bad to relax in silence and coolness on the veranda or hotel balconies, enjoying gorgeous sunsets, behind the local delicacies and the freshest seafood.
