Nice stay in Phuket and around
Good day, dear compatriots.
I want to dedicate my short review to rest in Phuket.
Having bought tickets in advance at an agency in Novouralsk, in mid-February of this year we went to Phuket. Upon arrival, we boarded the bus of our operator and went to the hotel. We didn’t particularly bother with his choice, because we knew that we would spend a minimum of time by the pool or in the room. So, Ramada Phuket Southsea Karon. We arrived, settled in... We were pleasantly surprised that we were settled in a room category higher than paid (for free). The next day we met with the guide, heard about the region, about excursions, clarified prices and decided to take a day of time out to think. They are not used to saving on excursions, so the operator's option was also regarded. At the hotel we met a young couple from Simferopol. They advised us to apply for a tour service to Phuket Chip Tour. There the service is the same as that of the operator, but the prices are much lower. We decided to order one trip to Khao Lak for a test, deciding: if we like it, we will order further, if not, we will go to the operator. To say that they were afraid, no, because we know that there are companies in Phuket that provide good service for a reasonable fee. The bus was only 2 minutes late for this trip. Punctuality is 99 percent. Russian guide Anastasia told us all the way about the country, traditions, king, way of life and culture of Thailand. Guide - also credit. We visited many interesting places: a temple with monkeys, a zoo in the wild, rode and swam with elephants, rafted down the river, had a delicious lunch and visited a turtle farm. We returned to the hotel by 1730, as promised by the phone manager. We decided to continue to use the Chip Tour excursion services. They called again, ordered the Similan Islands for 1 day. As expected, everything went well and without overlays. The Similan Islands impressed with their beauty, the underwater world and the organization of the group (guide Dmitry - credit). In short, thanks to the guys from Chip Tour for our vacation and the operator for the timely transfer and departure.
