There are so many Phuket strategies on the Internet. I also referred to the strategies of many netizens before I went out, but after I came back, I still took advantage of the heat to record my itinerary. I hope this incomplete Phuket strategy can help you in your travel, for reference only.

The simple introduction is followed by detailed photos of each part.

Through Ctrip's website, we ordered a free trip (direct flight) to Phuket on the 4th night of the 6th

http://vacations.ctrip.com/freetravel/p28753s1.html

Conveniently in this link, we also set down the Thai visa service and travel insurance. We can do it at one stop without leaving home. Let's go!

Let's briefly introduce my itinerary in recent days.

The first day: 20:40 Air China flies to Phuket directly from Beijing. Unfortunately, I caught a thunderstorm in Beijing and was two hours late.

The next day: I arrived at Phuket airport at 4:30 in the morning. As soon as I came out, I saw Ctrip's big pick-up sign (this is not specially for me, but the pick-up service provided by Ctrip). The Thai people who picked up the plane actually spoke Chinese. The airport was far away from the beach and drove for about an hour without traffic jam. Stay in the garden view room of Hilton Phuket resort hotel. I'm sleepless. I go directly to Kalun beach at 6:00. In fact, it's very close to the hotel. In Kalun beach, no hotel is directly connected to the beach, so I have to cross a coastal road. After breakfast, I strolled around the hotel and the beach to get familiar with the environment. By the way, I bought a Simon show in the evening and a one-day tour of Panya bay the next day from the agent on the street. Later, I found out that the man demon show lost money. Ctrip only costs 120 RMB, which is a VIP seat. My same price is far away from the stage. During the day, I went to the sea to bask in the sun and play in the hotel. At night, I went to see Simon show

on the third day:

Get up at six, breakfast, check out. I started at 7 a.m. and took part in the one-day tour of 007 island in Panya Bay. It was sunny all the way. After listening to the boatman's suggestion, I decided to give up the planned one-day tour of PP island and change it to one-day tour of emperor island. When I came back to the hotel at 6 p.m., I called Ctrip's local Phuket Chinese hotline to book tomorrow's one-day tour of emperor island. Stay at muwinpick resort.

The fourth day: starting at 9 o'clock, one-day tour of emperor Island, snorkeling, sun exposure on the beach. Return at 3 p.m. and take a ride to Badong beach. At night, stroll around the bar street to see the lights.

The fifth day: sleep to wake up naturally, in the morning in the beach, hotel swimming in the sun. When I checked out at 2 p.m., I suddenly saw the bus to Phuket Town, so I went to play in the town for 2 hours, and returned to Karen beach at more than 6 p.m. After dinner, Masha chicken, muwenpike resort also provides free shower service for guests after check-out, which is very considerate. At 11 p.m., the driver of Ctrip's reservation came to pick him up and rushed to the airport.

Day 6:

At 2:40 a.m., Phuket flew to Beijing and arrived in Beijing at 9 o'clock. The trip ended.

It seems to be a 6-day trip. In fact, there are only 4 days in Phuket, and the rest is night flight. Although this kind of flight arrangement is a little hard, it is still beneficial for office workers. Just ask for two days' leave and a weekend. When you meet a few white-collar workers on the way back, you are ready to get off the plane and report directly to the office:)

Just opened wechat, I plan to write something different, pay attention to it, wechat: longlestraveler

Focus on:

Phuket is an island, but it is not an island in the general sense. It is the largest island in Thailand, with an area equivalent to that of Singapore. If you want to play around Phuket, you have to know something about the geography of Phuket. Please look at the picture above. The airport is at the top of the map. Most tourists will land here first. In the box on the right below is Phuket Town, the capital of Phuket. The best beaches are at the bottom left of the picture, that is, the west of Phuket Island. In the box on the top left is the famous Patong Beach, which is also the earliest and most perfect beach in Phuket. There are all kinds of food, drink and play, and of course it is very noisy. The box at the bottom left contains Karen Beach (where my hotel is) and Kata Beach, which are quieter and cleaner. To put it more popularly, if you have been to Sanya, Hainan, then Patong Beach is Dadonghai, and Kalun and Kata beaches are Yalong Bay. It's easy to understand. Many of the other scenic spots in the picture are directly ignored because of time and interest.

Everyone has different ways to play island. Some people like to stay in hotels, some like to go fishing, some like to see historic sites, and some like virgin forests. Just choose what you like best. Time is limited. I'm afraid my playing method is the most conventional one, which may be acceptable to most people.

Please accept a little experience.

Clothing: Phuket is a typical subtropical climate, November April is the dry season, but also the peak season of tourism, may October is the rainy season, often thunderstorms occur, so short shirt shorts skirt beach shoes are essential, afraid of tanning can take light long shirt. Although Thailand is very hot, indoor air conditioning in shopping malls and airports is sufficient, so it is important to take a cardigan with you when you travel. When you travel to the island, sunscreen is the most important thing. Don't think it doesn't matter if you get sunburned. After a few hours, you can't play. Fortunately, there are all kinds of sunscreen in the supermarket of Phuket. It's recommended that banana boat be applied every two or three hours. I basically keep the same. Snorkeling is one of the important activities. If you take part in those one-day tours, the mask and breathing tube are free, and you can rent fins for 100b, because the underwater corals and reefs are very sharp. If you don't pay attention, you'll hang the lottery. If you bring a camera and other valuables, waterproof bags are necessary. When you go to sea, there are often big waves.

Food:

Thailand is a country of delicious food. Phuket can find delicious food from all over the world. Thai food and seafood should be considered as the characteristics here. No matter which small restaurant you go to on the beach, you can eat authentic Thai food. Even if there is only one chef and one waiter, the color and flavor are not ambiguous. Because I was traveling alone, I didn't try the luxurious seafood dinner this time, but I still didn't miss my favorite dongyingong soup, curry crab, mango rice and some northern Thai delicacies. The barbecue is good and cheap, and the 10 palm long prawns are only 100b. The development of Patong Beach is mature. There are all kinds of bars and restaurants nearby. In fact, you don't have to go to the restaurants recommended in the tourism strategy. As long as you are good at observing, it's easy to find suitable restaurants. Karen beach and Kata Beach have fewer restaurants, but they are enough to meet our needs. The side of Kalun beach near Patong is quite busy. There are many restaurants and bars in several streets. There are high, middle and low-end restaurants. If you want to have a big seafood meal, you can consider this area. In the middle of the beach, there are mainly restaurants attached to some high-end hotels. The environment is good and the price is relatively high, which belongs to the romantic western style. Most of the seafood stalls are clearly priced, but it should be noted that some of the measurements are based on 50g or 100g. Don't fail to understand the disputes after eating. On the whole, the businesses in Phuket are very nice, and the old and the young are not deceived.

Live: my feeling of Patong Beach is "noisy", in Thai words is "Crazy"! If you want to experience the crazy night life in Thailand, like bar motorboat paraglider, then choose Patong. There are all kinds of activities on the beach. There are countless bars, restaurants and massage shops. It's crazy until dawn. It is also the place where the hotels are most concentrated. There are not only luxury international brands, but also cheap B & B. But I always think it's not cost-effective to live in a youth hostel style multi person shared room in Thailand, because a bed also needs about 400B. As long as you pay a little more, you can find an independent single room.

Kalun beach and Kata Beach are connected. The beach is several streets quieter than Patong. It is very suitable for family vacation. Most of the holiday hotels near the beach are suitable for leisure. Of course, you can find some cheap family hotels.

Both of the hotels I stayed in are in Karen beach. I'll focus on these two. Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa is located in the center of Karen beach. It's just across the road from the gate. The hotel is very large. It's like a big park. There are three or four swimming pools, so I don't have time to go around at all. When I come in from the main gate, the vehicles have to go through the exaggerated explosives inspection. The traffic in the park can take a battery car. Breakfast is great, There is a swimming pool with a direct view of the sea. The disadvantage is that the room is a little old and the decoration is more like business travel.

Most tourists will choose to live on these three beaches. If they live on other beaches or in Phuket Town, they may take part in some one-day tours and pay extra fares.

that 's ok:

The consumption of Phuket is absolutely high in Thailand, but at most it is the level of China's Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Travel is the highest part of my consumption in Phuket.

Phuket is not small or big, and its area is equivalent to that of Singapore. The main means of transportation are taxis, Tujue cars, motorcycles and buses. It's about an hour's drive from the airport to the beaches. It's quite a distance. Carpooling is about 150B per person, and the special bus is about 150RMB. This can be reserved on Ctrip, and the price is almost the same, especially arriving at night, which reduces a lot of trouble. Although it's only a short distance of 6 or 7 kilometers and 15 minutes from Kalun beach to Badong beach, it's 400B for taxi and 300B for Tutu car. The official price is the same, and it's almost impossible to counter-offer. In this way, the one-way fare is about 80RMB, and the round-trip fare is 160. If there are too many passengers and they don't feel anything, one person will feel that the fare is quite high. One way to save money is to take a bus. Although there is no bus between Karen and Patong, there is a bus between Karen and Phuket. It takes 30b for Karen to get to Phuket, every 30 minutes, 40 minutes, and the last bus is 6 p.m.

Of course, the most economical way of transportation is to rent a motorcycle. Starting from 150B / day, it's cheaper to refuel by yourself. However, Phuket is mountainous and hilly, with high and low roads and fast speed. Moreover, Thailand keeps to the left, which is opposite to that in China. Therefore, those who plan to rent a car should consider their own driving experience and level, and don't let small things lose big ones.

"A few days tour to the Sri Lanka islands" is a diving resort recommended by National Geographic. Unfortunately, it's rainy season and there's no such project.

Others are relatively small projects, such as fishing, riding a tricycle through the jungle, riding an elephant, learning to cook Thai food... Because of time, I didn't try.

For the project of going to sea by boat, in addition to taking some medicine to prevent seasickness in advance, we must pay attention to the weather and waves before booking. In the rainy season, in addition to rain accidents, the wind and waves on the sea are also important factors to feel happy. I found a wave forecast website provided by a netizen on the Internet. I think it is very useful. http://www.windguru.com

It's very complicated. Let's focus on the following two indicators（ 1) Wave: This is the height of the waves, and sea activities are very important (please refer to the "special tips for rainy season" above). Generally speaking, if the wave is less than 1 meter, you can take a boat like a long tail boat / speedboat to sea; It's no problem to take a big diving boat or ferry when the wave is 1-1.5 meters; No matter how high the wave is, it will vary from person to person（ 2) * Precip: This is precipitation (abbreviation of precipitation in English), and the precipitation within 3 hours is written in each grid. When the rainfall is expected to be within "5", it usually has no impact on marine activities, because this number is only a rainfall probability, and in many cases it will not rain. When the rainfall exceeds "5", you should be careful. This usually means that there is a great chance of rain, and it is usually not small. When the rainfall reaches "8" or above, it must be a rainstorm.

My luck is very good, those days are sunny, waves are not to 1. Even so, sitting in front of the speedboat also thoroughly experienced the "ship shock".

It's very safe to take part in these projects in Thailand. The only thing you have to do is to compare the prices of various agents and bargain appropriately. There is not much room for bargaining, unlike in China. Finally, the agent will be handed over to several legal large companies. The content is set and the service is very good. There will not be the embarrassment of domestic tour groups being pulled to go shopping. Don't forget to tip the service staff after the event, usually 20b-50b. When I went to Panya Bay, a Korean family didn't give me a cent. I despised it.

Night life in Phuket is very rich, especially in Patong Beach. After midnight, there is a lot of noise. All kinds of sports bar, Gogo bar, human demon show, adult show, disco, are dazzling. You can experience the hot side of Thailand by walking around the bar street. It's also a good choice to have a drink (generally 10-50rmb) and watch the ball with foreigners. Kalun beach is relatively quiet. There are many bars and restaurants along the way. But because it's off-season, it's not the business that closes at 8 or 9 o'clock. There are many restaurants and bars near the northernmost turntable, which are open until midnight. Thai Masha chicken is also a must to experience project in Phuket. Foot therapy, Thai style, oil pressure, spa and other projects are very professional. If you are very demanding on the environment, you can choose businesses in hotels or mid-range "let's relax". From the perspective of fatigue alleviation, I think the small shops on the street are enough and the technician level is generally very high, I'm lucky to meet someone who can speak Chinese. Some of these shops are very small, but they are also very clean. There is only the difference between luxurious decoration and simplicity. The hygiene is basically guaranteed. So are the restaurants. This is one of the reasons why I like Thailand.

There are two large-scale performances that are also tourists' favorite nighttime events: "Simon show", also known as the human demon show. Although I have been to Thailand several times, I am not interested in this kind of performance. After watching this time, my impression has changed greatly. First of all, it's not pornographic at all. It's just a gorgeous art performance, and there's no problem for the whole family to watch it; Secondly, the lighting of costumes and props is very gorgeous, and the performance is also very professional. About one third of the programs with artistic flavor have Chinese elements. The whole Spring Festival Gala. Third, the price is very cheap. For more than one hour's performance, VIP seats are less than 120RMB, and there are also transfers to the hotel. NND taxi costs 80RMB from the hotel to the beach. They all look beautiful. After that, they will take a photo with the audience at the door, 20b each.

"Magic Duoqi theme park", which is full of advertisements in Phuket, seems to be a large-scale tropical style performance. It should be very good. Let's go next time.

Another night activity with local characteristics is the Thai boxing performance. It happened to be the national championship in those days, and the publicity was in full swing. The ticket price was about 1500b. It was said that the atmosphere was very warm, but there was no time.

Generally speaking, the time of 4 days is still a little tight. If the time and economic conditions are met, I think the 5-8 day itinerary is more appropriate. One or two one-day tours can be interspersed in the middle, or two days' stay in PP island and Emperor island will be perfect. Please continue to pay attention, all kinds of beautiful pictures will be sent out soon

Finally, a piece of advice, do not go to Phuket alone, there are pairs of men and women everywhere, men and women, and even worse, they are also a lot of friends. In Phuket, one of the most frequently asked questions is "are you alone?"... Loners Are Disgraceful

I've been to some famous and non famous islands, some of which are as beautiful as immortals, and some of which are in vain. The more I walk, the more difficult it is to be amazing. Phuket is an island. To be fair, the beach and sea view of the island is enough to satisfy the vast majority of people's fantasy about the sea. But human nature is never satisfied. It will not stay in the sight of this landscape. It always wants to explore the unknown paradise in the distance.

Following the captain's advice, I gave up PP Island, which is a long way for tourists, and chose emperor Island, which is relatively clean. If the travel agents who go to Phuket search for King Island or Empire Island according to the Chinese English translation, they will surely fail. The emperor island is called Raya or Racha Island, which is also the local language of the emperor. Although the name is very vulgar, there has never been an emperor on the island. Maybe I imagined that everyone on the island would be as cool as the emperor. It's about 50 minutes from the Chalong Bay Wharf in Phuket by speedboat. It's a very long 50 minutes. Although the sea looks calm, it's still soaked by the waves. The boat jumping up and down also makes us experience an unforgettable "ship shock". The most beautiful scenery is in the distance. This is an absolute truth. When the speedboat approached the emperor Island, almost everyone screamed. The clear sea, the primitive natural environment, the white sand beach, everything was like a dream, poetic and picturesque.

A child may be the first time to see such a beautiful sea, break free from his mother's arms, stumble to the beach for a few steps, and then suddenly stop, standing there quietly listening to something. I don't know how many islands this child will be able to put into his travel map many years later. In fact, everyone who loves to travel is actually a child. For the fairy tale beauty in his heart, he will never look back. Every trip is a process of pursuing a dream, looking forward to the romantic affair at that end of the dream!

The marina where yachts dock, ships come and go, the sea is clear, the sand is fine and slippery, lying here in the sun, does it look like heaven?

Emperor island is not big. It is covered with coconut trees, clear water and blue sky. After landing, there will be different travel companies or hotels to take the guests to their destinations

We were met by an orange tractor. The color is too holiday like. I also saw a large US military jeep, and the female guide walked away from the bumper in front of the jeep.

No less than the clear water of Maldives, no impurity can be seen in the direct sunlight.

Many residents of the island will go fishing or diving by boat from here. Of course, they have to pay extra.

The speedboat took us to a shallow spot not far away from here. The sea water shows that strange ice blue. The sunlight can illuminate the place more than ten meters under the water. It can be said that the bottom is clear. Different depths of blue are different. Only in tropical islands can we see so many different kinds of blue. I also floated here for a while, playing with small fish, holding a handful of bread in my hand, there will be hundreds of different kinds of small fish coming together, seemingly within reach, but never let you grasp, it's a wonderful feeling. If you swim a little further, the underwater will suddenly become a bottomless abyss, which makes people feel a little afraid. So those who can't swim must wear life jackets. However, when you see the big turtle drifting slowly under you, joy will surely overcome fear.

After lunch, come to another beach, absolutely amazing. The pure white sand beach is as fine as flour, and the sea water is sapphire blue from shallow to deep. The color looks very unreal, but the photo is not photoshopped.

The European beauties on the same boat won't get up when they sit here. They have to bask in their holiday feeling. They are too white to meet people

This elder brother is really intoxicated. He is too involved in the play. There are not many people on the beach, most of them are tourists who take part in the one-day tour that day. After two o'clock, the tourists dispersed and became very quiet.

The water on the beach is very shallow. You can walk far ahead to reach your waist. It's very suitable for people who take children or can't swim well.

Beauty and fish company, swim between the world. In rainy season, the wind and waves are relatively strong, which may be more suitable for water sports such as surfing, but we must pay attention to safety and do according to our ability.

The Spanish guy who came with me was very naughty. I didn't know where to pick up this thing. I kept saying don't touch it.

Who knows what this is? A common food, but fresh. The edge of the beach is covered with mossy rocks, in the sun, adding different colors to the sea.

There is no emperor on the emperor's Island, but a paradise for lovers. One on one is enviable.

No matter how gorgeous you are, no matter how sweet you are. Roaming emperor Island, a colorful affair. Even those who have always been considered conservative can't help enjoying the romantic moment.

The Chinese beauty on the same boat, traveling alone every other year, happened to accompany me and become a model in the mirror.

It's still early. A drink in the seaside cabin is a wonderful viewing platform. It's hard to find one for dinner.

The rocks under the wooden house are covered with different kinds of crabs. They are basking in the sun leisurely. We have vulgar imagination about different ways of eating crabs.

The Racha resort is directly facing the white sand and blue sea, with luxurious villa with sea view and private swimming pool. You can enjoy the beautiful sea view at home. It is highly recommended!

It's a pity that non residents are not allowed to visit. It's understandable. The price here is relatively high. I checked that the lowest price in off-season is about RMB 1500, and it is estimated that a room is hard to find in peak season.

However, there are also a few mid-range hotels on the emperor's Island, and even cheap B & B. I only remember one of them called "the father". It seems that the name must be catchy and easy to remember.

I even saw a diving center that knows Chinese

Passing by a row of colorful shops, I'm in a good mood whether to buy or not.

The sea water is as blue as a knocked over chemical reagent, or a brand of mouthwash

I will be back!

I book a one-day tour of emperor island through Ctrip's Phuket Chinese hotline. The price is very affordable, even cheaper than the round-trip transfer of the island hotel. Several hotel guests on the same boat carry their luggage on the same day, and they can have a free lunch when they return a few days later.

Sequel - published on June 2, 2013 11:22

I was fascinated by the popular 007 film series in the 1980s. At that time, those vague pirated tapes were playing repeatedly in the closed-circuit television and video halls, but I never got tired of watching them. The witty, brave, handsome and humorous James Bond can always get out of danger at the most critical moment. Of course, another highlight is that every episode will encounter a beautiful and sexy Bond girl. In all kinds of travel notes about Phuket Island, it is mentioned that Panya Bay, a national ocean park composed of hundreds of limestone islands and rocks, is famous for shooting the 007 film "the golden lance man". All kinds of travel agents on the streets of Phuket, as long as James Bond is mentioned, the bosses immediately understand that the real name of Panya Bay has been forgotten.

I'm afraid there are many people like me who embark on this journey in pursuit of 007. As soon as I get on the boat, I hear a few tourists talking about the plot of the film. Of course, there are exceptions. In the picture above, the retired French old man who travels around the world shows disdain for this story and shows his French pride incisively and vividly.

To Panya Bay, you can choose big boats, speedboats or traditional Thai boats. It's more than an hour's journey one way. I chose the safest big boat from the comfort point of view. Out of the port, blue sky and white clouds, blue sea and red boat, although it is rainy season, God is very kind, the sun has been shining these days.

The newlyweds on the same boat have been immersed in the happiness of their honeymoon. Among the dozens of tourists on the ship, only I and another Korean are Asian faces. Several crew members and guides were busy preparing free drinks and fruits for everyone.

The big ship is riding the wind and waves on the sea, and the breeze blows, making her feel very happy.

Question consultation welcome Weibo plus powder @ long legs uncle

The mountain in the distance became clearer and clearer, and the one eyed man on the boat couldn't help looking out. This guy reminds me of the Pirates of the Caribbean. He has a handsome face, but I don't know why he wore a one eye black eye mask. Unfortunately, he didn't take a picture of his face.

Although the sun is shining and the sea breeze is blowing, it's very cool on the deck. Most of these people don't know each other, and every journey makes them encounter each other.

When the boat came to the front of the mountain, the boat slowed down. Many fast rowing kayaks came out of nowhere. They swarmed around the boat. They didn't know the situation. They really thought they had met pirates.

The boatmen are thin Thai men who have been basking in black charcoal. They have been hiding in the belly of the big boat. When they arrive at the scenic spots, they come out to serve the tourists. Their attitude is generally excellent. They help tourists take photos, introduce scenic spots, tell jokes, and give female tourists a flattering look. Of course, don't forget to tip them 50-100 baht in the end.

From the big boat to the trembling small kayak, I feel a little bit agitated. I'm afraid most people have never taken such a boat to the sea.

Boatman all the way shouting, rowing to the distant woods and caves, claimed to take us to explore, do a day 007

If you don't want to destroy the SLR camera, you'd better not take a boat with you and get a small card or mobile phone to take photos with you, because some seawater drips from time to time on the rocks, and some unknown group members are too excited to pour water on you. What's more, some caves are full of bats, and their acid excrement will also baptize you and your camera. Smart businessmen will not miss this opportunity to make money. They can rent these colorful waterproof bags on the wharf and put valuables in them.

Don't think that there is no master in the mountain. There are many old friends outside the cave. I don't know how they live in this barren land. Are they monkeys who grow up eating seafood? Don't provoke them. The only thing you have to do is look after yourself.

My shipmate, Sally from Sydney, has been wandering alone in Asia for two months. This courage is really helpful to a girl. From time to time, she asked me to take a picture of her with her BlackBerry and told me to see her Facebook. I have to say that we can only use the bib in China to pay attention to @ long legs uncle

After drilling through the cave, you can enter another world. Surrounded by rocks, it is like a huge patio. The sea water is only 1 meter deep at most. Some strange plants make people feel alien. The boatman told stories about all kinds of strange stones. Of course, in this natural landscape all over the world, there is no lack of human imagination and worship of male and female reproduction. Two Russian guys are brave and not afraid of the camera flooding.

It's a pity that I have poor eyesight. I can't see such a big creature. Do you see it? To live in a strange place, you have to look strange.

It is said that it is a cave, but there are some places where there is a crack in the rock. If you don't lie down, you will be sure to hang the color. That's really an adventure.

Returning to the ship, I found that the French old man didn't go into the water at all. He was not 007. He was the most counsellor

Soon we arrived at 007 shooting site, which is the real James Bond Island. In the movie, it is the habitat of villains. This famous Chinese cabbage stone has become the landmark of Panya Bay.

The real scene is full of tourists. This big stone is far less powerful than the publicity photos, and even so delicate that it is worried that it will fall down. I can't find the legendary James Bond, but there is a girl who looks like a bond. There is a nice beach behind. Some tourists come here in such a speedboat. At that time, I liked this kind of speedboat very much. As a result, when I went to the emperor Island, I really didn't envy it. After a long-distance voyage, I was still comfortable and reliable. The boatman did not know where to get a puffer fish that would be angry. He tortured it for a while, let's see its angry appearance, and then let it go

Some travel notes on the Internet say that Panya Bay is not worth visiting. The scenery is similar to Guilin and Xialong Bay. The sea water is not as clear as PP island. But I think it's not bad. Maybe it's because I haven't been to Guilin, or maybe it's because my expectations are too low. On the contrary, I have a sense of happiness and satisfaction.

After lunch, the tour guide said that everyone could jump into the sea. The Russian friends were very excited and jumped into the sky and earth.

The difficulty and posture are very professional. It seems that Russia's mass sports are doing well. No wonder saudin has been involved.

The Australians have also come to a difficult job

My boat friends are not willing to be lonely, and their spirit will not lose 007. She will be the next girl to choose a country.

Enjoy the scenery and forget all the troubles. It's five or six o'clock in the afternoon when I return to Phuket Island. I even eat, play and enjoy more than 200 RMB, which is a super value 007 trip.

Phuket Island is very big. It's a government of Thailand, which is equivalent to a province of China. The capital of Phuket Island is also called Phuket. However, this provincial capital is modestly named Phuket Town. Although it is relatively small, it is the origin of Phuket civilization. At that time, only a small number of indigenous people lived in Phuket. Because of the discovery of tin mines, a large number of Chinese immigrants came here to settle down. Later, the Portuguese also came here to open mines, build houses, multiply and live. Various ethnic groups continued to integrate, and gradually formed the present Phuket Town, integrating into the different cultures of the three countries, Chinese, Portuguese and Thai. Phuket Town is located in the southeast of Phuket Island. It is not close to the sea, so it is not a popular travel destination. Originally, it was not in my itinerary, but a spontaneous trip made me enter the old days of Phuket.

P1.

On the last day in Phuket, it was three o'clock in the afternoon after lunch. I was thinking about how to spend the afternoon. Suddenly, a legendary Phuket bus stopped beside me. In a few seconds, I decided to get on the bus and go to Phuket Town. This bus is actually a 130 truck, but with a double row seat with shed at the back, it is very suitable for the climate of Thailand.

Question consultation welcome Weibo plus powder @ long legs uncle

P2.

I jumped on the bus and found that the driver was a gentle lady boy, that is, a human demon. I still prefer the term "Lady". It seems that "human demon" is too derogatory. In fact, in supermarkets, restaurants, hotels and other public places, you can see some of these people. Apart from their appearance, they are no different from ordinary people. They are not the same as those in various performances. After wandering on the road for an hour, the driver stopped and began to charge. 30b, here we are. The driver also kindly reminded me that the last bus back to Karon Beach left at 6 o'clock, waiting at the gate of 7-11 supermarket. It's only two hours. Let me wander around the old town of Phuket.

P3.

Did not do any homework in advance, in addition to worry about getting lost and delayed, almost no pressure, there is nothing to see the attractions, just free to go.

The car seems to have stopped in the center of the town. I observed the terrain, walked casually to a bigger turntable, and then picked a street with a better eye edge to walk down. When I first saw Phuket, I felt that it was not like Thailand, but a little bit like a European town. I even felt like Macao, which I had never been to before. Later, I learned that the town of Phuket was once ruled by Portugal, leaving behind many Portuguese buildings. The tallest is the former business office in Portugal. Now it's a cultural relic, so you can't go in.

P4.

Under the hot sun, there are few people on the street. It seems that I am the only tourist. Occasionally, a few Tutu drivers come to harass me. I saw a couple of beautiful locals walking over and taking a picture. When I wrote my blog, I found that the white building behind is the famous "on on Hotel", where the movie "beach" was shot.

P5.

Almost all of the streets are European style buildings with bright colors and exquisite carving. P6.

Probably because of Sunday, many shops are not open, a few small cafes idly waiting for customers to patronize, but I don't have time to enjoy this laziness.

P7.

Some of the old buildings seem to have been abandoned, but they have not been demolished. It is probably the government's intention to protect these heritages.

P8.

The cloister under the street has some Chinese feeling.

P9.

After walking through a few alleys at will, I feel a little bit about the location. I'm sure I can find my way back, so I'm more courageous.

P10.

A roadside barber shop. If it wasn't for the Buddha statue inside, I really thought I had entered the barber shop in Beijing in the 1970s and 1980s. The boss and customers were very friendly, and even asked me to go in and take pictures of them. There were many residents with Chinese faces in the town, some of whom could not speak Chinese at all. When I met an old man who asked me where I came from, he said his father was from Yunnan.

P11.

A customer in another family is enjoying the pleasure of ear picking. This kind of business is very rare in big cities in China, and it still exists here

P12.

More than Portuguese buildings are the remains left by Chinese. At that time, Phuket was almost a deserted island. Because of the discovery of tin mines, the Chinese came and established the town of Phuket, and then Portugal. So all kinds of Chinese schools, restaurants, clubs and so on can be seen everywhere in the town. P13.

Chinese style restaurant, such decoration is rare in China.

P14.

The residence also retains a strong Chinese flavor

P15.

There is a small shop called "spring". Many of these former Chinese immigrant houses have been transformed into restaurants, cafes and small shops by their descendants, but they still keep their original appearance.

P16.

Go to a very colorful street

P17.

The architectural style is a bit of grape. It's a very short alley. The unique pink or orange exterior wall has a kind of unique beauty.

P18.

At the end of the street is a temple. It looks a little Thai there. Walking along the street, it feels like crossing.

P19.

When I meet young people who take wedding photos, I'll take a few photos. This should be the same as their photographer. Later, they all came from China to shoot wedding dresses. It is estimated that the cost will not be much higher than Hainan.

P20.

This is the temple at the corner of the street. It's typically resplendent. I'm tired of aesthetics, and I don't have so many surprises.

P21.

I prefer the color and texture of the pagoda in the back. The temple is under repair, and monks are transporting sand and stones by themselves.

P22.

In fact, there are many luxury houses hidden in the street. The Chinese and Portuguese who made a fortune in mining built many houses here. Now some are still inhabited and some are abandoned.

P23.

Pigeons on the wires, a bit like staff, play ancient ballads in the old town.

P24.

It's not all old-fashioned here. When I meet motorcyclists on the road, I get together with enthusiasts of all kinds of skin color. Dozens of big motorcycles are very handsome, and female drivers attract attention. P25.

The little driver in the alley was more and more excited to see someone take a picture and spread flowers on the street

P26.

His grandmother sells snacks nearby. She comes with a bowl of red bean ice, 15b. It's very cool. On the way back, I saw a market with all kinds of Thai food. Unfortunately, I could only miss p27

At the end of the alley where the common people live is a luxury house. Unfortunately, it's abandoned. The materials and buildings are really good. It's a European style villa

P28. Through a mottled wall, I found that this courtyard was once a big family, but now it is empty. I can still feel the prosperity of tin mining here. I didn't dare to go in too deep for fear of a supernatural event. There are still many such old and luxurious houses in the town. I hope the Chinese tycoons will rescue them.

P29.

There are many small hotels in the town, which are very suitable for backpackers. It's 6 o'clock soon. Run back to the bus station. The two-hour fast journey is over. In fact, you can stroll here slowly.
