About Old Phuket 3*: Definitely a GOOD OPTION.
The territory occupied by the hotel is a huge but usable area, taking into account where you can relax - scanty;
The building with the pool where we lived is cool, take rooms in it - in my opinion it is the best; huge double rooms, everything you need, good location of the air conditioner, everything worked properly;
Swimming pool is a big plus; even showers at the pool with liquid soap, pleasantly surprised; regular cleaning of the pool;
Food for 5 points (took breakfast), tasty, a large selection of dishes.
BEACH AND SEA: a wide and long coastline, a beach with creaky sand but not equipped, not cleaned, in a storm a lot of garbage is nailed which lies for several days))). Feel free to take your umbrellas, I would not pay 200 baht for a sunbed for such a service, there will be enough space for a whole regiment of tourists.
And do not swim near the drain streams (this is in the center of the beach and at the end of the beach if you look towards Patong). The sea was already stormy in May, the waves were big, on Karon you really feel tingling on the skin in the sea - these are small creatures that are invisible to the eye, the people have a generalized name "plangton". Sometimes it manifests itself after bites in the form of a rash, fever.
After this “acupuncture”, we decided to go to other beaches: we liked the “nai-harn”, beautiful, clean, the service of the sunbeds is super, there is where and what to eat. Kata and Kata Noi beaches are similar to Karon, Kata Noi is less crowded. It is better to go to Rivey (Rawai) in the evening to eat fresh fish cooked with you (this is essentially a local port). On Karon, on the last day, we observed a sea snake, I will try to post a video.
Now about the FEATURES (NB! ! !
): DO NOT BUY goods (especially latex products) on the SIGHTSEEING TOUR, representatives of the tour operator will impose it on you. The price for a latex pillow is 3800 baht! ! ! You can buy goods from 100% natural latex by ordering a free transfer directly from the hotel by phone (find on the Internet) in the EcoLatex store, which is huge by the standards of Phuket, in the Chalong area. The latex store is a direct representation of the largest factory in Thailand, Pattani Industry. We took pillows at a price of 1800-2200 baht.
Buy ointments and other traditional medicine products only in pharmacies (and not on the street).
I liked the Thai massage in Karma - an elderly Thai woman did it, as a specialist I can say that 90% of the manipulations are physiological and aimed at healing, but 10% (for example, clamping the neurovascular bundles with the knee in the sciatic nerve is fraught with who have problems with varicose veins, etc. ). Thai massage - for people without vascular pathology!! ! !
EATING OUTSIDE THE HOTEL: I liked the cafes, which go towards Patong for about 10-15 minutes, located by the road (from the roundabout to the temple), they cook fresh dishes, and do not heat pre-made ones (the first three cafes suffer from this right at the exit from the hotel towards the sea). Note that the time from order to serving is 2.3 minutes, and the range of dishes is only matched by a large Russian restaurant (about 100)! ! ! And what struck a blow (the opera “Rigaletto” was performed): in the first cafe from the entrance of the hotel, with chicken meat in sweet and sour sauce, the legs of a freshly cooked cockroach were “served”! ! !
I liked the freshly grilled fish with pineapple and sauce (sea bass is better).
A very cheap grocery store - if you leave the hotel towards the mountains, turn left at the exit and walk along the road for about 3-5 minutes (name 7-Eleven)
FRUITS. Better than mango is only mango!! ! ! as the classic would say.
))) Try everything, but little by little, to avoid allergic reactions. You can take mangoes to Russia, 5 kg per person, take 5 kg containers (180 baht) and take them on the plane in hand luggage without any problems. Or a container for 8 kg and in a bag in luggage (20 kg allowed weight).
Excursions (paid) liked everything! ! ! Whatever money you take, you won't regret it. I won't write about them, a lot has been said about them.
Good luck and enjoy your holiday!
