Однажды в Тайланде... Once upon a time in Thailand...

I recently returned from a trip that I had been dreaming of for a very long time. And which, perhaps, will never be forgotten. Thailand opened up to us all, demonstrating each of the colored threads with which our impressions were woven. It didn't start off very positively. At the airport, we accidentally got into the wrong queue and as a result doubled the time for checking in our luggage. Well, as a result, they flew through the gut no worse than the Maccalistors from Home Alone.
On the plane, we were reassured by a standard tasty set and the next hours spent on the plane were very positive (for my husband, for sure! This impudent man managed to beat me * bull and cow * 14 times). We flew on a direct flight to Phuket and upon landing we immediately felt the aroma of a completely different country and a completely different life. Greenery everywhere, people smiling, laughter and jokes accompanied us all the way to the hotel. Indigo Pearl shocked me at first sight. I want the same tropical garden at home) but for this, it seems, you need to be a millionaire... Ehhh. It seemed that it was all in bloom, even tourists! I don’t know, probably the heavenly atmosphere really has a great effect on a person. The National Park is very close, which made me very happy. At the reception, we were met by a Russian-speaking hotel worker and politely escorted to a room with a small private garden. . Romka did not lie when he said that he was preparing a surprise, and God forbid every girl to experience such happiness at least once in her life!
We cooked just fine. I am not a particular fan of fish dishes, but the chef seems to have managed to reassess the values ​ ​ ​ ​ in this regard, I ate everything related to seafood on both cheeks and ran for the supplement. The guide provided by Natalie Tours turned out to be a very pleasant young man who regularly appeared at the hotel and tried his best to be helpful. Our room was put in perfect order once a day, and some joker each time tied my beach cape in different decorative knots. It worked out very well by the way! I honestly never bothered to ask how he does it. And I still don’t understand how they vacuum the garden... I was pleasantly surprised that smokers are fined in Phuket. Romka was penalized once, and for the first time in a whole week I never found my husband smoking. We visited a lot of excursions: Sea canoe, with awesome grottoes, a desert island and canoe driving lessons. I can say almost succeeded, although almost certainly does not count. Either way, I made people laugh. The excursion to the *elephant's stomach* amazed both me and Romka. If anyone goes, be sure to go to the cave! This is truly an amazing sight, and what kind of butterflies fly there! It was there that I felt great ashamed of my native cabbage girls. We went to the Phi Phi Islands, also very cool, of course Safari, which I liked much more than the Egyptian one due to the huge turtles. We also had a few crawling around the hotel, but they were quite small.

On the last day, they launched a giant national Thai balloon from the highest mountain as a sign of farewell to the city and, with a slight sadness in their souls, returned to their room to pack. Departure and flight went without any problems. It was probably my best trip ever. I hope that I can still trample on the snow-white beaches of Thailand
