I went at the end of February with my husband and son to Thailand. There was no time to tinker with the choice of the hotel. Decided right during a visit to Natalie Tours, chose from the proposed. There were several criteria - an island, not a barn, a reasonable price, and not far from civilization, after all, we are going with a child. The host was lucky to be the Bangtao Beach Resort. We were driven by Transaero, the flight went quite calmly, the child drove the monkey to the psp and slept. About thirty kilometers from the airport to the hotel, we arrived in twenty minutes.

The hotel is built on the beach. It is such a letter P, in the center is a square pool, a stream of trees and immediately a sandy strip to the water. The hotel buildings are of modern architecture, such a light honeycomb accordion, without a bias towards the local pagodas. Very organically fits into the dense greenery of the territory.

The territory is generally pleasant, it is not as huge as in those Thai hotels where we used to be, but it is super green and well-groomed, after the beach it is very inviting to take a walk.

About the beach: Bangtao Beach has its own, with free sunbeds and towels, but, of course, no one bothers you to wander and swim in other places on Bang Tao Beach. ) The staff cleans the sand daily early in the morning and it is always in good condition. There were big waves three times and the water was muddy after that, it was impossible to swim, you had to move to the pool or go to the city. We went to Patong while my husband and son were boating, I went shopping in Ocean Plaza. On the bus round trip, three hundred and fifty rubles from the nose, if by taxi, then a thousand round-trip for everyone, so if you are a trio or more, then it is available.

About food.
Each time, directing my steps to this country, I happily prepare for a break from pots and pans and I know that my male halves will not have any whims of “tasty-tasting”. So it was this time. Breakfasts are quite standard for Tai, rice in different variations, omelettes, muesli, sausages, ham, etc. , etc. , and to this there are various delicious papaya-mamaya. So no one left hungry or dissatisfied. Here on the Internet, somewhere in the comments, someone wrote that such breakfasts become boring on the third day. What are you talking about! Maybe you and Roma Abramovich are having a table? I usually manage to grab a sandwich with sausage in the morning, and fry an egg for the peasants. So hello to you, Sirians, but I never got tired of it in two weeks. ))) In addition, breakfast is breakfast, and lunch and dinner are scheduled. Sometimes we ate at the hotel, sometimes we wanted more authenticity, unsmoothness or something.
A number of food stalls are scattered along the coast, of various formats, from restaurants to eateries where they cook on their knees. )))


We lived in a room on the second floor overlooking the surf. The number is forty meters, the size suited us quite well, our whole apartment is a little larger. Cleaned up diligently, things did not rummage around. In general, they did not see any sidelong glance from the staff, nor manifestations of laziness and laxity, very pleasant people. In addition to swimming and sunbathing, they allowed themselves one excursion. With pleasure we rolled up to the island of cinematic Bond, I had to explain to my son all the way what kind of uncle he was. ))) Well, the beauty there and from above, and in the water, and underground in the caves is simply unreal. A very successful trip. )))
