hotel rooms - about off the category of 3 asterisks in the German travel catalogs - by far
more expensive and heavy to get, since by the travel enterprises occupies to a large extent.
Who
does without luxury, simply to live wants, may be set into the plane
and look up
locally. Starting from a simple wood hut everything is to be had. Who takes a simple accommodation, should have a mosquito- net.
Who like to live without luxury, can jump into the plane and look up locally. Starting
from a simple wood hut everything is offered. If you take a simple accommodation,
don't forget a mosquito- net.
If you will fly without transfer reservation airport - hotel to Phuket - all the same whether
with or without hotel reservation - you should hold yourself after the customs inspection
on the right hand to go to the informationdesk. There you can tell the beach you like to
travel to and buy a ticket for your taxi which will have a small price. If you do not buy at the informationdesk it may be you will have a higher price (up to 300 %).
Beaches: At Patong Beach quarter is allways rush hour and you will see this sort of people
who like to have there own radio at the beach. If you like to have silence and love the
nature there are many other beaches like Kata Beach, Kata Noi Beach, Karon Beach,
Rawai Beach...........
Chalong is the port of Phuket, nevertheless there good accommodations but in Chalong Bay
you cannot swim.
The building site warning given here in the years 2000 and 2001 for the Karon Beach could
be omitted. Some new hotels developed.
up - to - date:In Phuket you have to reckon with building
sites. At the best be in contact with your travel agency or the
Hotel. This concern Karon Beach and the Village Karon also.
Fortunately no speech can still be here from the
"mass tourism" - in contrast to the Patong Beach -. The Chalong Bay (Ao Chalong, the port
in the south Phukets) received a new jetty, so that also at ebb-tide of the changes from ship
to country and without mud crossing takes place in reverse. It is in the comparison to the old
a "luxury jetty". The vehicles of the dive operators (and naturally also with guests to ship trips
the etc..) bring in now into a type turning point, at whose end stepped out and will unload. On
the other page drive special busses - which operate only here - near around luggage and humans
to take up and to the end of the jetty drive. At the sea-lateral point of the jetty the ships come
on, which load or will unload even are.
Trips: much to recommend
are a day trip with the sea canoe to the Phang
Nga area.
Relative not treated topics
and further details guess I the attendance the large references
on my link
pages .
For divers the scubalinkpage
is special
.
Similans : the Similan
islands consisting of nine islands are uninhabited and nature
protected area. Up to a
guesthouse of the Thai government (island Nr.4) and
a Ranger station created
for the monitoring of the area (Donald duck
Bay) does not give it houses.
There is no hotel on the Similans! In some German
Travel folders is Similana
in
the supply. A hotel system on the mainland in the
separatingness of the Thai
rain forest, this hotel has nothing to do with the Similan islands.
Outside the hotel is there
only the jungle.
Some Kilometers south of it
were many Hotels build during the last four or five years. It's placed
beside the National road west of it. The Hotels are between jungle and beach,
most medium-priced.
I mean it's a good place for relaxing.
But there is no 24 service or restaurant in Hotel, from 10.00 am
some
of the Hotels areas are without lighting.
The "village" in this area is build by the following:
right and left of the national road are restaurants, Mini Markets, travel
agencies, three internet cafes,
some banks and dive shops, dive shops .........
I have been told it's 26 dive shops, I have not counting
it, but I think, it
could be more.
Because there are two wrecks only in the near, I advise against here.
The aforementioned places
should be explored in silent with one liveaboard
boat in 3 to 4 days or longer from Phuket.
From
Khao Lak out goes it by pick up some kilometers to Tap Lamu in the south
and then with speed
boat to a diving ship waiting before the Similans.
"Speedboat is painful and they spread out
tablets to be taken.
Relaxing after my first dive of a day I could saw this poor wimp people on the
dive boat listened to the briefing at 11.00 am. That means, they could not have
more then 2 dives
a day, if they like to be back until 8.00 pm.
Khao Lak I advise to nature lovers who wants to travel in the jungle of the Khao Lak
National Park
and to this people who like to relax only.
Divers I advise to travel to Phuket !
