Phuket is the most famous island and resort in Thailand. There are many infrastructure and entertainment projects here, and the cultural charm is very strong. It is suitable for taking children on a meaningful self-help trip and experiencing exotic customs. Here are some detailed strategies to share with you.
in phuket, the flight distance is moderate, which is acceptable to children. After choosing the destination, of course, the next step is to book air tickets, hotels and travel modes on the island around this destination.
where did I book the air ticket? It was more than 1,511 yuan for one person to go back and forth, but I couldn't book the baby ticket. I had to book it myself, so I later found an agent on a treasure, which was the beginning of my "nightmare" (see below).
I booked the hotel in agoda, with my children, so I chose to stay in the lively Badong-Gig Hotel for convenience. The accommodation is really cheap, with an astonishing 211 yuan/night (including breakfast).
then, I struggled with sugar mom for a long time about the way to travel on the island. At first, I wanted to rent a motorcycle, but I felt too unsafe with sugar. Finally, grandma sugar joined us in the trip, so we decided to drive by car.
When it comes to self-driving abroad, renting a car is not difficult for me. The first thing I think of is to search on renting a car (I used to rent a car in Hawaii, which was very convenient). We are three big and three small, and there are three suitcases. The one that is too small is not suitable for us. We chose a sedan, and the price is moderate.
it costs more than 711 yuan in 5 days. After the order is placed, the car rental will send an email to confirm with you. After you complete the payment, the car rental App can also forward the bargaining price, and it has cut more than 111 yuan. It is really cost-effective.
If you want to drive by car but are worried that your driver's license won't work, you can rest assured that you can get an international driver's license for free on the rental car. Speaking of which, everything is booked before going out, get a good visa, change the Thai baht, pack your luggage and go!
When we arrived at Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou, our mother and daughter strolled around happily, but when we changed our boarding passes, the nightmare came. There were four of us, except for the name of Grandma Sugar, who was booked separately on the airline. There were no names of all three of us, and the airline checked that our tickets were cancelled.
It's only over 1 hours before the check-in counter closes (it closes 41 minutes before boarding), so I'm in a hurry. How can this happen? Call customer service immediately and ask them to find out the reason. They said to wait for 21 minutes.
because my baby ticket was booked by a treasure agent, I also asked the agent. As a result, they said that they only had the right to add baby tickets, but they didn't have the right to cancel adult tickets. They also suffered losses when the tickets were returned, so they had to find an airline.
but the customer service did not find out the reason in the end. Let's buy tickets on the spot first. If it's their fault, they will compensate and contact us when we arrive in Phuket. Then we bought a plane ticket and went through the customs with 3-4 minutes left before the counter closed.
I really lost my mood after all this noise. The key point is that I haven't found out the reason yet. I don't know who will pay for the plane ticket. Fortunately, the plane is very empty, with only 1.3 people on board, so I can sit casually after taking off. This is a kind of comfort.
after nearly five hours' flight, we finally arrived in phuket. After going through the customs, we can find Natianal car rental store at the exit soon. The car rental brother will check the damage of the car for you very carefully. The car I rented is 41,111 kilometers, and it still looks very new.
(Renting a car is still very reliable) When it comes to driving, everyone should be careful. Thailand drives with the right hand, so you should get used to it at first, and slow down. I just keep making mistakes with the wiper and the turn signal, but I'm not used to driving my own car after I get used to it.
Pay attention to the traffic police in Thailand. When you see it, you must remind yourself whether you have your driver's license or not, or you will be punished badly. Sugar Mom is an example. On the way to the hotel, we were stopped by the traffic police to see our driver's license, and I wore my seat belt.
my wife's co-pilot didn't wear it, and he saw it and fined her 1111 baht. Well, the driver's license will be returned to you after paying the fine, so you can only admit it. So I'm reminded, whether it's a motorcycle or a car, you must check whether you have done a good job when you see the traffic police, especially for us foreign tourists, which are particularly targeted.
It was past 9 o'clock in the local area when I arrived at the hotel. Before I ate the candy, I just ate a little at the noodle stand in front of the hotel. It was quite delicious, and I ate it several times in the next few days.
the location of the hotel is still good, except that the road at the entrance is a one-way street, which is a bit difficult to open because of the narrow crowds. Everything else is not bad, but after we checked in, we booked two rooms on different floors, which is not convenient. Just tell the waiter that if you have a room the next day, you'd better move to the same floor and stay like this for today.
When my daughter Tangtang and her grandmother have settled down, my mother and I went out for food. (Contact the customer service where to go, saying that our Thai number can't be contacted, and we will give an answer at 11: 11 the next morning)
Here is the lively red light district (bar and performance) in Badong. If you walk over and get bombed, you don't want it. From time to time, people come to solicit customers, and your little heart can't stand it. Nimo Dolphin House
Hotel has a variety of breakfasts, but it really doesn't like to eat much. After eating, we went around. We were too diligent. It was cold in Jiangxi, and BigC and some shops didn't open.
The Millennium Hotel in Badong has a feeling of being tall. It is connected with the cold in Jiangxi. The pool surface is as calm as a mirror. Before you know it, the cold food plaza in Jiangxi has become our lunch canteen.
After dinner, I put my little one to sleep, and started a two-person exploration mode. I took a stroll around Badong Beach.
To tell the truth, the water quality in Badong was really not good. When I returned to the hotel, I started to deal with the air ticket again. Where did the customer service say that my air ticket was returned by an agent of Jang
Chao, but they couldn't find out who this person was, not their agent, and the comparison recording was not the agent who booked my baby ticket. (It's not over yet)
The plane ticket was put down first, and then we prepared the room and moved to the same floor as the children's grandmother. The front desk clerk told us that the room directly above us was under renovation, and it would be a little noisy from 11: 11 to 16: 11. Because at that time, Tangtang lived with her grandmother for a day, and there was not much movement, and she didn't stay in the hotel during the day, so she said it didn't matter. I moved there, and the room was very satisfactory, with bright side covers and a lot of space.
After watching the dolphin show, it's time for dinner, which happens to be the weekend. We chose to go to the weekend night market in Phuket town. There are many people. This is a place where local people in Phuket will visit. On the one hand, they are eating, and on the other hand, they are small commodities. If you are interested, you can go shopping.
The photographer was booked for this day, and it was booked before, 2 hours in the morning for Chalong Temple and Phuket Town, and 2 hours in the afternoon for the hotel and Karen Beach. However, the candy was not very powerful in the morning. We arrived more than 11 minutes later than the appointed time, so Chalong Temple took a photo for half an hour and left.
The photographer said there would be a bit of traffic jam, so he led the way. Who knew that luck was so good that we caught up with Jiuhuang Temple Fair, but we couldn't park in Phuket Town at all. Traffic control and traffic jam didn't stop the car at half past 11, so we decided to end it in the morning, and Tangtang clamored for dinner and sleep.
The photographer also agreed with us that the shooting time should be 1 hours in the morning. It was fine in the afternoon. According to the time when Tangtang woke up, we went to Karen Beach and Hilton < P > Hotel to take pictures. Some of the photos were ok, and some felt a little careless. When we went, it was 4: 31 in the afternoon, and there was no big sun. In some photos, the exposure of the sky was so strong that the light didn't come down.
The funniest thing is that when we finally checked out, we were told that the money would be counted as 4 hours. It was agreed that it would be counted as 1 hours if it was not filmed in the morning, but it turned out that it was our own fault. The photographer did accompany us for 2 hours, and it would be counted as 2 hours if it was not filmed.
I want to say, do I have to take a photographer to lead the way to the traffic jam, and if I have been stuck for two hours without taking a picture, will it count as taking two hours? Photographers earn money for photography. Does he earn money for travelling expenses? Besides, I drive my own car.
It is also said that we can make up an hour in the afternoon. We don't want it, but we take the children with us. When the children wake up from sleep, it will be 3: 31, so there is not much time to take pictures. Considering this, we originally booked 2 hours in the afternoon, so we have to add an hour, either sleeping for one hour less or taking pictures at 7: 31 in the evening to eat. Where can the sugar stick to it?
to make money is to make money, we should also take into account the actual situation. We should not take children out without conscience, not simply from the perspective of adults. Finally, we quarreled with the photographer for a long time and compromised for one ***3 hours.
Let's share some photos. I like some of them. Photographer's trip shot
The traffic jam shot was not finished at noon, so we went back to the hotel to grab a bite to eat and wanted to settle down. But when I got back to the hotel, I found that the decoration sound was really good. I couldn't sleep at all because of the noise of sugar, but it was the sound of electric drills and knocking on the wall.
So we went to the front desk of the hotel to change rooms for the third time, and I felt tired. Because of the limited rooms, only 1 rooms are far away from the decorated rooms, so Tangtang and her grandmother moved to the 7th floor. This time, it was replaced by a seventh floor and a third floor. After tossing for a long time, it was finally good, and Tangtang also fell asleep.
While Tangtang was sleeping at noon, my mother and I went out for food. Under the search of public comments, we finally found No.6 restaurant in online celebrity. The restaurant is really not very impressive. It was not a restaurant when we went, but it was still full, but we will have a seat soon. (I waited for 21 minutes for the second time) This restaurant is the one that I have eaten in Phuket, which is most suitable for the population of China, and I think it is the best. 71-81RMB per capita, not expensive, recommended for wall cracks! Half-day tour of Egg Island
Now I come back to write my travel notes and find that the itinerary is still very rich. I booked a half-day tour of Egg Island on the day. Unfortunately, yes, it began to rain early in the morning, and I was a little depressed when I was waiting for the bus to pick me up in the hotel.
But when I got to the dock, it was a little sunny, which gave me a little hope (I still took the drone and was ready to fly it)
Not long after I went out to sea, the sun actually rose, and Grandma Sugar Sugar was very happy. I quickly took pictures, and the yacht was halfway and started snorkeling.
After more than half an hour's boat ride, I finally landed on Egg Island. Unfortunately, my luck was so bad. It was sunny just now, and it began to rain in a blink of an eye. The rain was neither too big nor too small, but it didn't affect Grandma Tangtang's interest at all. Tangtang was miserable. Originally, she had prepared a lot of dredging tools, but now she can only take shelter from the rain in the shed (there is lunch on the yacht). After half a day's trip, Tangtang went back to the hotel and immediately fell asleep. It's time for sugar mom and sugar dad again, and the swimming pool on the roof of the hotel is still good.
We haven't eaten a seafood meal in Phuket, which is outrageous, so we decided to have a seafood dinner in the evening. Ban Zan, a seafood market, was a bit "pitted" by the travel notes before, so we decided to go to the fresh market in Rawai Sea
farther away. Although it is a little small, it is said that there are not many people who cheat customers.
During the navigation, I found a Karen observation deck. Although it is a little late, I still want to have a look. I don't know if I don't see it. It's really beautiful when I look at it. Unfortunately, it's too late to shoot.
After reading it, we went to have dinner non-stop.
What about the fresh market in Lahai Sea? It's really not big, and the price is not very cheap, but the things are absolutely fresh, and there is not much room for counter-offer. After buying, you can go to a restaurant for processing, and the processing fee is not expensive. Fairy Peninsula
It's really a beautiful day. As always, we finished breakfast in the hotel and were ready to leave. Today's destination is Shenxian Peninsula
As we will pass the Karen Observation Deck on the way to Shenxian Peninsula, we will make up for our regret the night before. It's really more beautiful during the day.
after completing the card at the Karen observation deck, we rushed to the fairy peninsula. This fairy peninsula looks really beautiful under the sun, and you will regret it if you don't watch it.
It's raining, so I have to go home. Today's main trip is over, and there is no regret.
The sad thing happened again. The elevator of the hotel actually stopped, and the power on this side of Badong Beach was affected. Well, we can only admit it. Let's climb the stairs. Despite the good news, it wasn't long before we got back to the hotel, and the elevator was restored, which was quite reliable.
Because this is the last day, there will be full shopping time next. Basically, it can be ignored. Wangquan duty-free shops buy cosmetics, and after dinner, they go back to the cold BIGC supermarket in Jiangxi to buy small gifts for returning home. And, of course, the last
dinner in Phuket. Don't be too casual. We painted Restaurant No.6 for the second time. As mentioned earlier, we waited in line for more than 21 minutes this time, but it was not very slow, and the queue was a bit long.
when waiting in line, take a photo of the tuk-tuk car here, and the atmosphere lights in the tuk-tuk car are still very nice.
I still eat these dishes, but I just feel delicious.
I've been here for so many days, and it's cold to visit Jiangxi for the first time. I really feel that time is not enough. It's too big. The price doesn't seem to be particularly cheap either. We still focus on supermarket specialties, but the lighting in Jiangxi is still good on a cold night.
The trip back to Phuket is all over. We flew at 7: 45 in the morning. We got up at 4: 31 and got ready to leave. It takes about 41 minutes to drive to the airport. When I arrived at the airport, I encountered something embarrassing. I didn't know how to drive to the place where I returned the car.
fortunately, the staff of the car rental company rushed to the parking lot and went through the formalities of returning the car. Rent a car, it seems more reliable. It was already 6: 21 when the car was returned, and the time was tight.
We also went to the wrong terminal, and wandered between the second and third floors of the terminal of domestic flights in Thailand several times. Later, we found the mistake and hurried to the international terminal. Fortunately, not many people passed the customs, so we quickly went to the counter to check in.
(By the way, where did the ticket go? On the third day, it was replied that the refunder had not found it, and the responsibility lay with their agent. Let us reserve the difference when booking the ticket, and the ticket we bought before will be refunded.
it is exasperating that on the fourth day, when I contacted where to go, they replied that the refund party had to verify who it was. If it wasn't them, they wouldn't compensate. For this ticket compensation, it was not until October 23 that the compensation plan was determined.
although the refund party has never been found, it is said that the refund party is not them, but in the end, under my argument, the place to go is because they have promised to pay me compensation before, and they will follow the previous compensation plan.
It's really worrying to go around for a while. It wouldn't be so much trouble if I had made the earliest promise, but things were finally solved.)
To sum up this trip, it can be said that "what a bad word it is", and there are many trips, although it may be a little unsatisfactory every time. But this time is really the most extreme, I guess I will never forget it.
Finally, I would like to remind you that parents and children should never arrange too many trips, too many programs, beautiful ideals and skinny reality.
we have calculated this time.
