I was lucky to visit Phuket. I love a lot in Thailand, but tires the flight, especially the transplant in Doha. But, despite the duration of the flight, there is a completely tangible plus in the form of a visa-free regime.
From almost all hotels from airport, a taxi is constantly running. When choosing the hotel, I recommend guided by weather conditions. Do not forget that, starting from spring to Phuket, monsoon winds are flown. It is very pleased with surfingists, because thanks to the wind, huge waves rise. I, knowing about this feature, chose a hotel, whose beach is protected from winds by geographic position. So you can calmly swim, without fear that it will take into the open ocean))). In general, hotels here are abused, and there are no problems with the numbers. Therefore, even if you did not boost a room in advance - you should not be sad. You can choose a hotel right at the airport and immediately go there on a charter bus. It is very convenient.
The beaches of Phuket is very different. Snow white sand and azure water. Always clean, constantly walk the cleaners and put order.
Also here many attractions. Unusual temples, Buddha and the Old Town - this is what is necessary to see. At least in order to make unusual selfie. I liked to rub an elephant in the temple Van Chalong. There is such a ritual that brings good luck.
Phuket has an unusual farm - elephant.
There are not only growing animals, but also pick up crumpled and treat them. I was especially impressed by one service offered to tourists. This is a massage an elephant. Wildness is incredible, but many like many. I have never agreed to such an event even for free, and tourists pay and rejoice.
Closer to the evening, go to Cape Promvet. There is an incredibly beautiful sunset that constantly changes its colors as the sun enters the horizon. How well, that I do not have a film camera that limits the number of tape length with a snapshot. I have a lot of amazing photos.
Usually, early in the morning, I loved to walk towards the fish market. Here they sell freshly fished. I bought a lobster or shrimp, which are preparing right when you. Smells here are just a breathtaking. And the cost of the finished dish is a dear pen.
Renting the car, I visited the oceanarium, butterfly park and even on the mountain monkeys. I recommend everyone to visit these wonderful places. For an examination of the oceanarium and a trip to the monkey, the mountain must be scheduled for a whole day. Believe me, this time will take place at all in vain.
But to the local kitchen you need to treat with caution, as many peppers and seasonings add to all dishes. It is better to warn the waiter in advance that you do not love the list or order something from the European menu.
Leaving Phuket I was truly sad. This place was able to leave an unforgettable trace in my soul. I am sure that I will come back here repeatedly.
