To rest in Thailand went four-way - 2 guys and 2 girls. Alone, so to speak, hares. At first they chose the island of Ko Lan, as it was cheap and quick to get to it from Pattia. But the miser pays, as you know twice. Food and drinking in cafes and restaurants turned out to be unreasonably expensive. He did not please the sea with the beaches. Full to the people and closed. And on the water, the crowds of water motorcycles and solubular floating funds on liquid fuel are dissected, all this noisy guards affects the quality and purity of the coastal zone water. There are no particularly picturesque landscapes, as the vegetation is not rich, soon Kutsaya. The sand is too small and the snow-white you can not call it. Of course, someone will say that the pearls are shallow, and someone and soup empty only dreams, but we missed a couple of days and went for the best fraction.
The next our island was Chang. This is the real "bounty". No worse than in a confused commercial. A variety of lagoons, curly crispy shores of emerald palm trees, correct, and most importantly, clean sand and impeccable waters. Beautiful and cozy, without excessive tourist accumulation.
On the island itself, good roads, a wide variety of cafes, restaurants, bars. We lived in a bungalow with hot water, near the shore. Missing on the island did not have to. In addition to the traditional bathing and sunbathing, we visited the waterfalls of Than Mayom and Khlong Phlu. If you compare them with those that we have seen in Dombuy's gorges (North Caucasus), then they are fine. But they are nimble, located in a picturesque place among almost sheer cliffs surrounded by a thick greenery. The pleasure is not free. Paid a couple of hundreds of baht for each. We explained that it was for the caretakers who look at the order about the waterfalls and gather garbage left by non-painful tourists. It was really very clean and neatly. Although, maybe just tourists such decent come across.
Another memorable event was a diving with a mask - snorkeling. It was remembered by it burned back. On the boat went around the whole island, dived, fed fish. The underwater world is so exciting and spectacular, which completely forgot about the scorching sun, which actively seal my unprotected back.
In the evenings, sometimes romantic dinners were satisfied with candles. Most tables in most cafes came to the surf line, located in the open sky. Under the gentle rustle of the waves, with flickering candles, kindly provided by the administrator, we enjoyed the gifts of the sea. Inexpensive and very tasty. At first, with caution treated with an earlier earlier Issues of underwater worlds. But at the end, it was already safely ordered in a row all the incomprehensible names, knowing that they would bring another snack. Sometimes we were located on soft puffs in the same cafe, listened to music, looked at the starry sky and squeezed cocktails. Fabulous time. As soon as the vacation and financial opportunities are coordinated - we will definitely be Mahene in Tai again!
