СУПЕР SUPER

We rested with my husband for the first time in Thailand (January), usually went to countries where "everything is on. " and were very worried, but in vain. The food is not expensive enough, the main thing is to find where you taste good. We lived at the Amora Hotel in Phuket, Bank Tao Beach.
Hotel: neat, green, 2 swimming pools (1 with a jacuzzi), there is a lawn with tall trees where you can relax in the shade during the day. At the reception on arrival they take $ 100, then if everything is normal they will return it.
Room: spacious, clean, cleaning for 4, hair dryer, rubber slippers, it is not clear whether they were processed after the previous guests, washed bathrobes, kettle, coffee, tea, cups, glasses, refrigerator, safe. Mini bar paid, did not use. Tips were left at 20 baht - 50 baht (1 baht - 1 ruble). The air conditioner is noisy but works well. There are mosquitoes at night, take fumitox.

Breakfast from 6-30 to 10-30 is good, but every laziness is the same. Yoghurts, muesli, tea, coffee, fruits, bacon, ham, rice, pasta, toast, vegetables, scrambled eggs, fried eggs. Lunch and dinner tried at the hotel was not tasty.
The beach is clean, nice white sand, but flea dogs run around, good-natured. Sun beds with umbrellas are free, you need to borrow in the morning, some especially smart ones leave towels from the night. Change towels at the reception, by the way at the reception they speak English, and in Russian they speak more or less only “transv. ”, Cat. works there. The sun is cruel, take a cream filter 50, you can't go wrong. The sea is warm, the bottom is sandy, but in the evenings it bites (small invisible jellyfish pinch the skin, they don’t really interfere, but it would be better if they weren’t there).
On the "tuk" 5 minutes for 100 baht you can get to the Tesco store, where you can buy water, beer, alcohol, food, etc. You buy seafood and, upon request, they will fry them there (queen prawns. 370 baht). You leave Tesco on the left on the second floor of the ATM bank (red) at a favorable rate to change money until 18-00. On Mon and Thu from 16 to 20 the market comes, there is very good. Cheap fruits, food, souvenirs, clothes, etc. Haggle, the price can be dropped by 70%. Wallets, belts, stingray and crocodile bags, latex are best bought on the beach.
I liked to have lunch at the beach cafe, if with your back to the hotel, then to the left 2 “cafe” TON-KHOW, delicious soup with coconut milk -180 b, deep-fried shrimp-200b, Thai noodles, glass noodle salad, portions are larger than others . They cook well. You can bring your own alcohol. We had dinner at the Sugarcane restaurant on the right, from the entrance to the hotel. Fish, rice in pineapple, etc. "you will lick your fingers. " We went further along the road to the right behind the Dalar hotel to a Russian restaurant, they cook normally, but it’s too lazy to go 20-30 minutes.

We took excursions from Pegasus (Pegasus representatives liked us very much, they told us interestingly, they followed every tourist, water, wet wipes, motion sickness pills are all free. Well done! ) Maybe excursions are more expensive than on the street, but what if an accident? And insurance on the street bye-bye. Monkeys are wild, they can bite, At rafting, snakes sleep on branches, and the elephant is still at least cute, but a beast, cobras crawl in one step, although there are snake catchers nearby, but the snakes don’t know about it. In short, you decide. Were on a review ex. (Buddhist temple, snake farm, reality show with snakes, pearl magician bought beads, bracelet, latex factory - bred, fed wild monkeys - do not smile, otherwise they might bite. I liked it! Ex. Fantasy Cia-Park (2300 baht) with white animals, elements of Disneyland, show with elephants - a spectacle of MIRACLE! Rafting and elephant riding (2950 b. ) SUPER!!! ! Nature, tea from reed glasses, jungle, elephants, so warm, rough and sad, monkeys funny and impudent. Highly recommended!! ! SPA in the salon (3300 b), full of fun: sauna, jacuzzi, peeling, mask, full body massage from head to toes for 3 hours, tea, fruit. , since not everyone looked!! ! Good luck, I hope that the information is useful.
