We rested from 12/13/17 to 12/26/17. We flew with Pegasus Fly from Kazan. The flight was delayed for only an hour, there was a heavy snowfall with rain, the engine was iced up on one side (they poured some kind of reagent on the plane from this side). We took off safely, after us the airport was closed until 3 o'clock the next day (in Phuket they read this news in the morning and sighed with relief). When buying tickets, the airport of arrival was Phuket, on the scoreboard in Kazan-Krabi, landed in Phuket. We got off the bus in the north of Patong, then we went by minibus, we arrived quickly. Upon arrival, our friends were settled immediately in No. 203, we were issued a receipt for room 306, but they said that the check-in was at 14-00. We didn’t bathe, we went to swim, after 4 hours they came, we were settled in No. 204 next to our friends. The deposit was 100 bucks, before leaving, the staff check the minibar and if everything is fine, they return it. The hotel staff are good, they try to help, only Mike understands Russian (the guy at the reception desk). The first days it was not familiar, almost rushed to the feet in greeting, then they got used to it. Now what about the hotel (I was six months ago in April in the northern part of Patong in a good top three, so there is something to compare both the hotel and the location). The hotel is quite old with dead plumbing and a bathroom, the door to the balcony was without constipation (the place where the lock was torn out), the movable grid on the balcony closed the first day, then it jammed, I was still afraid the deposit would not be returned, but everything worked out. The shower whistled and the hot and cold water did not mix well, the faucet in the sink was very close to the edge, could only wash fingers or a toothbrush. These are all the minuses of the hotel with which I came into contact. In the attic, this is the 4th floor, they settle when there is nowhere to settle, there were bedbugs in room 417, a Russian family was settled there upon arrival, their children went bitten, I don’t know their further movements.
Breakfast is super, this has never happened in Thailand, a slight feeling of hunger came only in the evening, there was even sweet milk oatmeal, like in sanatoriums, they don’t cook it on Saturdays and once it was made from sour milk, more joints in the kitchen they were not.
The hotel is very homely in a quiet place, although it takes 10-15 minutes to Bangla, and 15 minutes to the night raspberry plaza. At first there were few people in the hotel, it wasn’t sickly before Christmas, there were a lot of Indians (or from somewhere else) with children, children swam and had fun by the pool until half past ten, it’s good that this was our last day of rest. And of course from 24.12. we started celebrating Christmas on the beach near the entrance to Bangla, the distance is 1.5-2 km and the music was thumping like from the road near the hotel, it was not realistic to fall asleep. At night it's nice to sit in the hotel's tea room, a glass-walled building where coffee, sugar, cream of tea, and clean glasses are regularly replenished after 1am. The room is not reported, if used, feel free to go there and take it to the room. We dined at the raspberry-night market, if you go to the market and go to the end there will be a cafe with free seats and less clean than at the entrance, and go straight to the bus stop and 70 meters to the left, then there will be a small-scale alcohol store, prices are slightly lower, to In comparison, a large bottle of rum is 280 baht, in Sevan 310. Before the market, they collected fruit before leaving, pineapples 30 baht, mango 60 baht, mangosteen 150-180 baht, on raspberries it's all more expensive.

In April I was on Phi Phi and decided to take my friends. Excursions were taken from a hotel guide (it’s cheaper by 200 baht on the street), Tatiana is an adequate girl, not nervous, even when they ran into her that because of her excursion to the elephants, the child had an allergy (the child began to swell 2 days before) behaved correctly. With a 2-day excursion got. The wind began, which increased the next day, the speed was high - it was impossible to stop so that the speedboat did not roll over, many vomited, several islands were not visited because of this, the cold wind and water caused unpleasant sensations. We spent the night on Butterfly Island, an island of alcohol, beach bars and chips, because it’s really hard to find anything other than chips in stores. We climbed to the observation deck of this island, 300 steps up and before entering the guide said that the entrance fee was 30 baht, the price of water in the shops grew with every ten steps, but it was worth climbing.
The wife said she was done with boat trips. Everything else was fine. Great vacation, the wife is picky, but she said that this hotel is a place where you want to return. With the return flight was the priest. The guide warned us that one suitcase was 20kg, but we did not listen and the suitcase was 32kg. The airport had to take everything out to wrap one more piece of luggage in several bags, they seized all the manicure tongs and a penknife, so prepare a suitcase for each of 20 kg with Pegasus Fly. Departure was promised from the hotel at 17:00 on 26 December. They took us at 2 am on December 26, that is, they took more than half of the day from us. We flew normally without delay, fed 2 times hot, which is amazing. Briefly chaotically but it seems to have written about everything. Have a good holiday everyone!! !
