Первый раз в Тайланде First time in Thailand

We stayed at this hotel in May 2007. Amari Coral Beach Resort 4* (04/27/2007 - 05/10/2007) . Resting with company. For the first time impressions just through the roof. Well, I'll start with the fact that we flew to Bangkok and there we immediately transfer to Phuket. Arriving in Phuket, we got into minivans and went to the hotel. The hotel is located in Pattong Bay. On the hill. Its territory is very large. There are many buildings and they all stand along the coast. We were settled in the lowest on the shore. With access to the water. Everything in the rooms is very, very neat. Double bed with silicone mattress. Everywhere teak furniture and the coolest thing on the balcony is a sofa with chairs. In the evening you go out to the balcony and enjoy the view to the sound of the surf. We only had breakfast at the hotel. The rest was bought in order of need. They cook fish in batter very tasty. It was called fish and chips. Their soups are very tasty. They are spicy but edible and they definitely cannot be eaten, a lot of pepper and spices. The hotel has two swimming pools. One big one was near our building and the second smaller one was on the upper platform. The beach at the hotel was practically absent, this is due to the ebb and flow. The entire coast is covered with stones and they are very sharp. In order to swim in the sea, you had to go to the Pier, which enters the sea for 100 meters, and go down into the sea from it, and only there you can swim. Otherwise, you either need to overcome 100-200 meters of sharp stones and then you can swim. But given the fact that this is still the ocean, I paid attention to the fact that there may be sharks. By the way, local fishermen caught one of them simply with their hands and pulled it on board. She was stunned by the boat's propeller.
There are many cicadas and lizards on the territory of the hotel. The latter simply run everywhere and run into the room, which caused discomfort for the female half. There were no snakes, scorpions, cockroaches or spiders to be seen. Although at the snake farm we were shown cobras, cockroaches and poisonous spiders. The security of the hotel is organized competently, everything is thought out for the guests. It was possible to leave valuables in the rooms and no one took them. Although, of course, we didn’t tease fate much and cleaned everything or tried to put it in a safe. Excursions booked at the hotel. A transfer and a Russian speaking guide were provided. With the help of it, we saw a lot of interesting things. I definitely recommend everyone to go on excursions. And across the island and across the ocean.
There were a lot of Germans and Europeans in general in the hotel. Of ours, we were the only ones.

If we compare the impressions of the trip, then in a nutshell we can say: almost paradise!
I recommend.
