As a senior travel enthusiast, office lady is usually so busy with her work that she has no time to take a long vacation, so every time I set my itinerary before 3-5 days. In this way, I can make full use of the three days of weekend + small vacation to make a perfect vacation, such as our May Day holiday. In order to avoid traveling, I always take a vacation in one place every time, so that I can have more energy to play ~ ~ after a long preliminary screening, I finally set my destination on the map, with the coordinates of Southeast Asia Thailand Kami. Some people may not know about this place. Kami, located in the south of Thailand, is a tropical Peninsula like paradise, Around scattered more than 30 islands, such as pearls dotted the sea. White soft sand, warm and clear water, palm trees swaying with the wind, waterfalls flowing, wild animals shuttling everywhere, here everywhere poetic, beautiful. Those who like rock climbing can show their skills here.
Moreover, Jiami has many beautiful islands and strong local culture, and it is also famous for its rich vegetation and animal population. The most famous limestone mountain is Khao khanap Nam, which is regarded as the symbol of Jiami. Looking from the boat, it was a green mountain. When we went to the island, we knew that it was a huge cave, but it was hard to see outside, because the walls of the cave were covered with vines, and we didn't know where the cave was hidden. This is the scene of the film "Swiss Family Robinson". This cave is Robinson's home. The wooden steps on one side of the hole are specially built for making movies, while the real hole is hidden on the other side and goes deep through the cracks in the rocks.
Jiami map:
Tourism season: Jiami is the best tourism season from November to April next year. In November, not only the whole Jiami is a bustling scene, but also the sky is warm with sunshine. The sea is blue and the waves are gentle. You can dive comfortably and have intimate contact with the fish. In the middle of April, there is a very grand water splashing Festival. The rainy season of Jiami is from April to September every year. However, compared with Phuket, even in the rainy season, it may not rain every day. Sometimes it will not rain for more than ten days, and it will be sunny for more than ten days.
Traffic problems: from domestic to Jiami: compared with other domestic airlines' direct flights to Jiami, of course, Air Asia has the highest cost performance, but at present, there are only direct flights to Jiami in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and the price is about 900. If you want to spend less on the tickets, you can choose to transfer in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and other places. It's only a 30 minute drive from Kami's airport to the seaside resort. From the airport, there are 150 Thai / person airport shuttle buses passing through Jiami town and onan beach, and the terminal is nopalatala beach. Before getting on the bus, the driver will write down your hotel, and then take all the passengers all the way to the door of their hotel. From the airport to Jiami Town, there are about 300 Taizhu, and to aonanhai beach, there are about 400 Taizhu.
From Thailand to Jiami: plane: AirAsia has tickets from major cities in Thailand, such as Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Phuket to Jiami. If you book in advance, it only costs about 200 RMB. It is recommended to take a plane. The land route is relatively tortuous. Land: Jiami long distance bus station is located 4 kilometers north of Jiami town. It's only 20 Tai Zhu by bus. There are buses to Bangkok, Hoai and Phuket. Kami Bangkok: there are about seven long-distance buses from Kami to Bangkok south bus station every day. The road is 946 kilometers away, the whole journey takes 12 hours, and the ticket price starts from 400. Jiami - he'ai: every hour. The whole journey takes 4-5 hours. There are about 180 Thai air-conditioned cars and 100 Thai ordinary cars. Jiami Phuket: every hour. The whole journey takes 3-4 hours. There are about 120 air-conditioned cars and 70 ordinary cars.
Visa processing: you can apply for a visa in advance. There are many agencies on the Internet, and the cost is about 250. Before I read the introduction, I said that Thailand can sign a white passport on the spot. I tried it myself, and the cost is about 1100 baht (100 baht is the fee for taking photos). I can only pay in cash, which will be about 50 yuan cheaper if converted into RMB.
Currency exchange: this time I went out for a tour of local tyrants, so I changed 3000 RMB. After comparing the exchange rate in China, ICBC was the most cost-effective, more than 4.9. I heard from friends that I had seen the exchange rate of 5 in Chiang Mai. However, for the sake of insurance period, I changed it well in China. If not, Jiami airport, Jiami town and onan all have places to withdraw money, so don't worry.
Mobile phone card: mobile phone card can be purchased at the airport, or at 7-11. What I bought is happy card, 255 THB 5-day package, unlimited traffic and fast Internet speed.
Happy trip - Day1: Jiami town - Huxue temple - Jiami town night market. Jiami town is located at the entrance of Jiami river. Tourists come to Jiami town to visit the surrounding scenic spots and experience the rich local customs of Jiami town. The most important scenic spot nearby, Khao khanapnan, is a small rock peak protruding from the water with a magic cave on it. After cheak in hotel, you can enjoy the leisure and comfort of Jiami town in minutes.
I think the most attractive part of the town is the leisure atmosphere. The peaceful and beautiful Jiami river passes through the town. There are large mangroves in the river, where there are many monkeys and wild animals. There is a fishing ground on the river, which specializes in raising ancient fish to attract tourists. Walking by the river is a pleasure. Transportation tips: from Jiami airport, there is an airport shuttle bus. It takes about 30 minutes to get to Jiami Town, and the cost is 150. At noon, I chartered a bus to Huxue temple, which is 7 kilometers away from Jiami town. Because there used to be a tiger here, protecting the ascetic monks who practice here like an immortal, it was called Huxue temple. In the cave, tiger paw marks can also be seen on stones. In addition, there are many historical sites, including stone tools, pottery fragments and Buddha's footprints.
Tiger cave temple is located at the foot of the dense forest. Many tourists come here to climb the 600 meter hill. Although there are only 600 meters and 1327 steps, they are all steep slopes of 70-80 degrees. Especially after 200 steps, almost all of them are vertical steps, which can only be raised by hand and foot. After climbing to the top of the mountain, you can see the whole Jiami town and the scattered limestone mountain in the distance. Looking at the beautiful scenery, it's worth climbing so tired. Transportation tips: about 5 minutes from Jiami town by car; About 30 minutes by car from Aonan beach, Tutu 300 THB / car.
After returning to the hotel from Huxue temple, I took a bath and changed clothes. When I was ready, I killed the night market of Jiami, passed the giant traffic lights and came to a street. Inside, the lights are bright, and the stalls are next to each other. In addition to various snacks, there are many daily necessities. Jiami night market is not as big as other big cities in Thailand, but it also has everything.
Happy trip -- Day2: Aonan beach = overnight stay at Aolei beach. When you get up in the morning and pack up, you are going to aonanhai beach, which is about 20 kilometers away from Jiami town. It is the most lively and famous beach in Jiami. It has convenient living facilities and travel. Most tourists to Jiami gather here, similar to Patong Beach in Phuket, It's a bit overcast in the morning. I'm afraid of rain.
The white sand beach of aonanhai beach extends to the foot of the famous limestone mountain range, and the convenient living facilities attract a large number of European tourists, making Aonan look like a small European town. Here is the first choice for tourists who want to have a quiet and lively life and enjoy a long holiday. I don't want to pursue any scenic spots or island tours here. I just want to find a restaurant by the window, write something, watch the flow of people, keep close contact with the beach, listen to the waves and watch the coconut trees sway.
Transportation tips: This is the coastal transportation center of Jiami. Tourists can rent boats from Aonan beach to visit nearby scenic spots. From Kami airport, there is a 150 baht shuttle bus, about 30 minutes to Aonan beach. Take Tutu bus from aonanhai beach to Jiami Town, about 40 THB / person.
Happy trip - day3: Limestone Mountain - xillailei beach = overnight stay at Lailei beach, ha ha, sleep until you wake up naturally ~ ~ do you know what is famous for Jiami's sea view? It is famous for the limestone mountain that can be seen everywhere in the legend. Because this is a lava area, mountains out of the sea, forming a number of different shapes of the island, various, not interesting. There are not many names, most of them are nameless; There are not many lively ones, most of them are cold. They are so casual that they seem to be scattered on the green sea by an "invisible hand", which is the most eye-catching scene of Jiami.
Because of this, compared with Phuket, Jiami's beautiful mountains and waters are more beautiful. Its Khao khanapnam is the most famous limestone mountain and is regarded as the symbol of Jiami.
Transportation tips: you can only charter a boat or take part in half day tour or one day tour group. It is about 600 Thai per day and 400 baht per half day. In the afternoon, I'm going back to Lailei beach, because no one can stop me from watching the sunset. In fact, Lailei beach is divided into three beaches: East Lailei, West Lailei and phra Nang. The overall area is small. It takes only 10 minutes to walk from East Lailei to West Lailei or Phra Nang. Lailei beach is famous for its rock climbing, with many rock walls and caves. The beach is distributed under the rock wall, which has a unique flavor. Donglailei is a wharf with no beach. It belongs to muddy beach, especially during low tide.
The area of xilailei beach is a little larger, and it is a place with more tourists. The area of patao beach is not large. It is located under the cliff. There is a stalactite cave, in which there is a statue of goddess, which can protect the boatman's safe return, and xilailei is more suitable for watching the sunrise. The whole patao beach feels like a paradise.
Traffic tips: East Lailei has a long tail ship to Jiami Town, West Lailei has a long tail ship to onan beach.
This is a quiet beach with few people, about 6km away from aonanhai beach, about 3km long. The beach is covered with small sea shells, which the locals used to call "hat Khlong haeng", meaning dry canal beach. When the canal dries up at low tide, the area becomes a long beach, where the headquarters of nopalatara National Park is located.
The park has a wide range, both on land and at sea. Nopalatala beach, with its tranquil evergreen trees as the background, has a variety of scenery. Limestone Coast and 40 million year old shell fossils can be seen everywhere. It's also a holiday destination for many Thai tourists. On the beach, you can see the whole family sitting on the ground with food and blankets, or playing on the beach. I've been sitting here for most of the day, and I can see it everywhere~~
Traffic tips: Aonan beach has a long tail boat in the past. There are many flights. You can go there at any time. Today's itinerary has arranged two relatively quiet, outdoor peach garden like beaches. Patao beach is a part of Lailei beach. That is to say, the feeling of paradise has always urged me to experience.
Transportation tips: take a long tail boat from nopalatala beach to Onan, and then walk to Panang beach.
Happy trip-day5: when I made my itinerary, I decided to take Landa island as the most gorgeous and perfect ending of my trip. Landa island is located at the southernmost end of Jiami mansion, covering an area of 150 square kilometers. It is a national park dotted with several beautiful islands, surrounded by coral reefs.
The island of Landa, which was only powered in 1996, is now a famous resort. There are some villages nearby that make a living by fishing in the Andaman Sea. These people are called "chaolay", which means Gypsies on the sea. They cruise in various islands and fish mainly with crustacean products. Their houses are temporary and move at any time with the change of fishing spots, which can be called "living by water".
After eating and drinking enough, rent a motorcycle to tour around the island. The scenery on the island is very charming, and you can't afford the scenery along the way. One day, you can feel the unique custom of Landa island on the island.
Blue sky and white clouds, never seen so clear water; The sea water quality of many bays in Lanta island is better than that of Yalong Bay in Sanya, such as NUI Bay, which is my favorite Bay.
I love my hotel so much~~
Transportation tips: from Jiami, you can take two vehicle ferries and drive to Landa island. The island in the middle is koklong, which takes about 10-15 minutes for each ferry. Due to the need to wait for the ferry, the whole journey is about 2 hours. There are also direct speedboats in the peak tourist season.
Bid farewell to the beach and sea of Jiami, looking forward to our next unexpected encounter!
