Good day everyone! (For everyone who travels to Thailand for the first time, it will be very useful, do not be too lazy to read everything)
The review is rather not about the hotel, but in general about a trip to the country of Thailand, Siam, and now Thailand. This is the first trip to such an exotic and distant country.
And so, in the hands of a ticket for two to the island of Phuket. Bought a month before the trip. Everything was smooth until a day before departure, Utair pleased us: 1. Flight delay for 6 hours, 2. We are not flying to the island itself, but to the Krabi mainland (which is more than 200 km from the island). By the way, when we landed, we looked at the coast of Krabi - a paradise on our planet, it is very beautiful there!
However, we landed as scheduled (flight 12 hours). Naturally, everyone was tired, I wanted to get out of the stuffy cabin of the plane to take a breath of fresh air. Yes, where is it! Are you talking about the "fastest" Estonians? Ha, no matter how! The most of the most are Thais! They are never in a hurry anywhere... We will encounter this more than once. We were released after 45 minutes of "marinating" in the cabin, although the process of passing through passport control and customs went pretty quickly. But the quick passage through customs was offset by a long wait for the bus driver. By the way, in Thailand there is an interesting practice - luggage is carried not in the luggage department of the bus with tourists, but in special covered pickups that carry luggage in front of the bus. This is how you arrive at the hotel, and your luggage is already waiting for you))). We waited for about 45 minutes and drove off, while we were looking at the nature and life of the Thais. They drive on the left, like in Japan. 50% jeep pickups, 10% light sedans and 40% mopeds. Cars are not very expensive, but all new, well-groomed. Almost no one observes traffic rules, and the traffic signs themselves, except for signs in Thai, and somewhere in English there are no more. Somehow I went to the crossroads and point-blank tried to find at least some sign of priority - I did not find it. How do they destroy?? ? By 4 o'clock by bus, we finally stopped at the island. We only managed to set up a couple of hotels when we got into a traffic jam (! ) in Patong. It was already about 6 pm, the guide says there is always a traffic jam at this time, and there is no way around. After pushing with other cars, we finally escaped. When we found out that we were the last ones in the delivery, we were very upset, because imagine how long it took us to keep the path and even here it’s quite a bit within reach, anet... (((
Hallelujah!! ! The rest of the travelers sang in chorus when they saw the sign of Natalie Resort. But, here the hotel manager "pleased" us, the rooms that Coral Travel booked for us are occupied and we will be accommodated for the night in a nearby hotel-bunkhouse!! ! Scandal, but our guide from Koral said, they say, be patient ((( Honestly, I didn’t even have the strength to argue. I won’t talk about the rooming house, I don’t need to, but the next day at 2 o’clock we were really moved to Natalie. The hotel is new, if I'm not mistaken in 2010. Everything is clean, everything works, although the staff does not speak Russian, and English is not very good, although they always understood each other after gestures and grimaces). rather, it is a legushatnik, 10 minutes walk from the sea without sharp drops, the food is certainly not for gourmets, but for all the time I have not had a wild case when I feel sick from the "choice". If you came to eat, then the hotel is not for you, if for sea and new experiences, it is quite possible. We only had breakfast, had lunch and dinner in numerous restaurants and coffee shops. Usually lunch for two cost us ~ 600-1000 baht. Well, if some pretentious restaurant, then from 1500 baht. By the way, about the local currency BAT, Baht is practically equal to our ruble 1 = 1. The advice is this, do not take the dollar ry, take our rubles, there they are easily exchanged for baht and there are a lot of exchangers!
The nearest beach is Kata Beach - a large beach, a lot of people in good weather. When we arrived, it was raining for 3.5 days and there were very few people on the beach. As soon as the sun came out, sometimes there was nowhere to step. The sea itself for the entire time of our stay was not calm, sometimes the waves were so big that sometimes it was risky to go into the water. Kata is certainly a good beach, but don't be too lazy to go to Kata Noi (small). It is much cleaner, less crowded and quieter. Mostly Europeans and Australians rested there, there are few Russians there. And there are more fish there than anywhere else. When we found this beach, then we only went there.
