It's like a movie, and we all know it's the best reality.
Phuket: soft time in Andaman Sea
——Wang Yi 0918
Cover story
The Andaman Sea is located on the northeastern edge of the Indian Ocean;
Phuket, shy hiding in the West Bank of the Andaman Sea, the deepest Malacca Strait.
In the midsummer of the floating moon, we successfully escaped from Typhoon "canhong" and arrived at Phuket Tongka airport in the silent night before dawn.
Due to the itinerary, the first time to really see the sea, instead, 24 hours after arriving at Phuket Island, we went to the mountain road of fantasy Patong Beach. The scorching afternoon sun, turbulent waves and illusory colors suddenly appeared in front of us after CMB turned a sharp corner, which caused everyone's admiration.
Look, the blue in front of you is changing with the tide and sunshine;
Listen to the endless waves;
Feeling, wind, cloud and light sea breeze;
Smell, and a slight smell of the sea.
Will we miss this place because of this wonder?

In Patong, you can feel the parachute pulled by the speedboat and the flying over the beach.
Standing in front of the turbulent Patong Beach, feeling the waves of the sea and the magnificence of the sunset.
Gazing at the endless Andaman Sea, the constantly changing colors of the sea and the waves in the gap are particularly magnificent, mixed with a little bit of "the setting sun is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk". Here, the light and shadow projected by the wind and cloud in rainy season glide along with the sometimes turbulent and sometimes calm sea surface.
The shimmering scale light under the setting sun makes the color of the sea sometimes deep, sometimes bright, and sometimes golden ripples.
So graceful, intoxicating, but not gorgeous; The mottling of light and shadow makes people nostalgic, though beautiful and not lonely. Andaman Sea's uninhibited in this moment thoroughly vent!
Travel planning
1. Team division
This trip to Phuket was planned at the beginning of the year. There were 12 people in the team: a total of four families of three (coincidentally, all of them were daughters). The team members and division of labor were as follows:
(1) Planning / team leader 1 / Accounting: Ms. Lyvia
(2) Bargaining / team leader 2 / process correction: Mr. Sunspear
(3) Photography: Mr. Wuwei, Mr. Feng
(4) Child care: Ms SLX, Ms LM, MS sunsunyanfei
(5) Edited by Wang Yi 0918
A successful team activity must depend on the division and cooperation of the team. Because we are completely free to travel, more people bring some difficulties in cooperation, but the team members cooperate with each other and perform their own duties, which makes the tour of Andaman Sea very smooth. We also fully realize the importance of team cooperation.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
2 route planning and overall travel budget
As shown in the figure below (thanks to Ms. Lyvia, the team member)
two point one Route planning principles and suggestions
2.1.1 Direct flight or connecting flight? Due to the fact that all families of the travel team have minor children, in order to avoid changing flights, the direct flight from Pudong to Phuket Island is considered; Regardless of direct flights, most flights stop in Bangkok, Malaysia or Hong Kong, which can be selected according to the time and shopping needs.
2.1.2 Day or red eye? Under the choice of direct flight, the daytime flight is much more expensive than the red eye flight. Finally, considering the cost performance problem, we choose the red eye flight; In fact, leisure travel time difference is not big, choose red eye flight is OK.
2.1.3 Airport transition hotel or direct to Beach Hotel? Arriving and leaving Phuket Island are in the middle of the night. In order to ensure the rest, and considering the time and safety of at least one hour's drive from the airport to each beach, we consider the transition hotel near the airport. The Hotel Airport, which is highly rated by Ctrip, is our hotel Mansion Phuket。 It turns out that it is necessary for us to pay more for 2 nights of transition hotel to ensure the rest time. Another option is to go to Wonderland on the last day and go straight to the airport after 10 o'clock to catch the midnight plane, so as to save the transition hotel. Considering the luggage problem (we don't have self driving), we didn't have a choice in the end.
2.1.4 Book in advance or before departure? Hotels and tickets are sold and paid in advance in China. The advantage is that the price is relatively low. The disadvantage is that there is little room for adjustment in the event of storm and other force majeure factors. This is especially important in rainy season travel in Thailand. In the end, it depends on our character. We almost cancelled our flight this time because of typhoon canhong at Pudong airport. If so, every family will suffer heavy losses. Because the reservation in Thailand is very convenient（ Recommend Taobao Search lazy cat travel, local all Chinese service, booking car, riding elephants are very convenient, and on time; It's said that the spray is good, but I haven't tried it.)
2.1.5 Choice of outer islands: in addition to Phuket Island, the surrounding islands of Phuket Island to be considered are: PP Island (phiphi) Island, Raya Island, Khai Island, Phang Nga Bay), coral island Island, Bamboo Island Island, Kho Yong, similan Islands, tachai Island, Surin islands）。“ "Little Guilin" Panya Bay is a must; PP island can be removed together with mosquito island and Bamboo Island, which is more cost-effective; The water quality of emperor island is good and clean, but the hotel cost is high. The above priority, time is abundant, then choose other islands, leisure travel these islands at most choose 2 ~ 3 enough, the difference is not too big. Most of the other islands are developed late and lack of supporting facilities. There are few supporting facilities and scenic spots outside the hotels. A friend of mine was with us in santhia, Kauai Koh Yao Yai Resort & Spa(Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort & SPA) Hotel, the hotel and its sea view are really amazing, but out of the hotel is the "primitive jungle", and the traffic is not convenient.
2.1.6 Accommodation planning: our accommodation in Phuket Island is in the order of Kalong beach, offshore islands and Patong Beach. There are many bars in Kalong beach, which are relatively quiet. You can have a panoramic view of the viewing platform when you swim around the island; Badong beach is put at the end, mainly considering the final shopping. Jiangxi Leng shopping center is nearby. This is both fun and convenient for shopping.
two point two Travel
It's very expensive and hard to get a taxi in Phuket. If you travel freely, you can only choose to charter or drive by yourself. Considering the number of people and the adaptability to the local driving habits, we chose to charter. In most cases, a medium-sized bus is just full, which is not wasteful at all.
Car charter recommends lazy cat travel (see the example in the figure below for the order form). In Thailand, it is also a full Chinese service, which is not only convenient for booking car charter, booking elephant riding and other entertainment items, but also on time; It's said that the spray is good, but I haven't tried it.
two point three communication
The code for Phuket is 006676. In Thailand, China Mobile's global access costs 1.99 yuan per minute for answering and dialing local calls, and 0.89 yuan per minute for sending text messages. For Thailand, dial 009 + 86 + domestic area code (remove the previous 0) + fixed line telephone (such as Beijing fixed line telephone 0098610 * *), dial domestic mobile phone 00986 + mobile phone number (such as 00986139 * *), for Thailand, dial Thailand in the mainland by mobile, telecom and Unicom: add 00 before Thailand country code 66, and remove 0 before local mobile number. From China to Phuket: 00 + 66 + 76 + local call.
(the above is for international roaming local tyrants)
Free travel recommends buying SIM cards in Phuket: there are three mobile companies in Thailand, namely 12call, true and happy. 12call is the most expensive, happy is the second, true is the cheapest. You can buy it in 7-11 stores. 7-11 in Thailand is everywhere. We are using the happy card of dtac company this time. 199b includes 50B telephone charges, which can be recharged at any time. There are 60b and 100b charging cards（ All convenience stores are available for sale) the applicable methods are shown in the figure below:
Of course, if we don't talk on the phone for 900 minutes in 8 days, even if four families can't use it up (each of us also rent a portable WiFi), a lot of communication is through wechat and QQ. The most important use of the local SIM card is to hire a car and use a mobile phone to surf the Internet.)
2.4 WIFI
It's very necessary to take WiFi with you when traveling abroad. You can rent a 7-day WiFi package in Thailand, which is 18 yuan / day, with unlimited traffic on a single day. In Phuket, most of the team contacts still rely on it. When the signal is not good, even the WiFi of the hotel is not as good as it. A travel WiFi can be used for 5 people to surf the Internet at the same time, and the standby time is OK. The small disadvantage is that you need to log in again when you go outside the signal source occasionally. Generally speaking, it's very good.
two point five Insurance
You may not buy it, but it is recommended to buy it for Family Tour (with children and the elderly). The coverage covers travel accidents, sudden acute medical treatment and death, overseas emergency rescue, travel delay, loss of luggage documents, etc. 20% discount for insurance group for 12 people. Direct reservation on Ctrip, we buy Ping An insurance discount after the cost of 48 yuan / RMB.

Soft time in Andaman sea travel notes by Wang Yi 0918
1 can Hong comes! Waiting before dawn
On July 10, 2015 (Friday), I happened to encounter the strongest typhoon "canhong". In the morning, Shanghai was still sunny, and the wind gradually increased in the afternoon. From the afternoon, everyone paid close attention to the wind. After arriving at Pudong Airport, he was told that the plane which was supposed to take off at 9:15 was delayed and the departure time was to be determined. Feeling the strong wind on the apron of Pudong Airport, I am very worried about whether the flight will be cancelled. Once a flight is cancelled during a typhoon, it will not be able to reply in one day. As we travel freely, it means that all the tickets for hotels, chartered cars and magic Duoqi have failed, and the loss may be about 6000 yuan per household. Fortunately, I was told that the plane could take off before midnight. Although it was delayed for three and a half hours, I was very glad. The probability of encountering typhoon in July / August in Shanghai is quite high.
When the plane stopped at Pudong Airport in the periphery of the typhoon, we could still feel the obvious shaking. We didn't feel relieved until we reached the cruising altitude. We had a feeling of successful escape. We joked that we had planned to make the big movie "where are you going, Dad 3", but it almost turned into "2012".
Our flight fm831 landed at Phuket International Airport at more than 4:00 a.m. local time. It was quite quiet in Phuket. Because of the visa we apply for in China, we can save the trouble of waiting for the arrival visa in the early morning. When we entered the customs, one of our Party met the legendary local immigration officer "dawanggong requires tips". Fortunately, according to the online strategy, we were determined to stick to it. It took us about five minutes to let it go. There is also a small episode here. The accompanying intrepid students left their wallets on the plane of China Eastern Airlines. Just a moment before going out of the customs, they found that they had just returned a few steps before they met the flight crew of China Eastern Airlines who sent them back. There was nothing in their wallets. Here's a compliment.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Flights and tips
(1) Flight delays to Phuket are normal (especially the rainy season in Thailand and the typhoon season in China, which we both met this time). Don't judge by domestic common sense (although domestic flight delays are also very serious). Thai people are well-known for their "Moji" (Xu Zheng language).
(2) Red eye flight is really easy to make people dizzy. Before getting off the plane, we must check the accompanying things again and again to avoid losing them.
(3) If you take the red eye flight with your children, it's suggested that you get a visa. It's hard to imagine waiting in line with your children in the middle of the night for a landing visa.
(4) You need to fill in the "exit and entry card" on the plane. If you don't fill in it, please refer to the figure below. Remember not to lose anything after leaving the country. You need to use the "exit and entry card" when shopping in Thailand (some stores) and the "exit joint" for customs clearance. It's Thai characteristics.
(5) It is true that some immigration officers will ask for tips by grinding and other means, and those who do not want to give will be released after a while. It is said that very few cases will find fault with some reasons.
(6) Phuket airport is not big. The Thai ground service is generally friendly to the Chinese people (big customers). Sometimes they will say a few dialects to you after asking where you are from. Although it is not standard, it makes people feel very relaxed. Compared with Hong Kong, which we went to two months ago, it is too strong.
(7) Requirements for carry on liquid luggage: each package (refers to the volume of the bottle, regardless of the number of things inside) shall not exceed 100ml, and those larger than 100ml can only be checked in, and the check-in is not limited by single 100ml and total amount. There is a limit on the total amount of liquid carried by each person: when going through the customs, each person is required to put the bottles and cans that he carries into the standard sealed bags issued, and the specifications should be 20cm * 20cm, and those that can't be loaded will be thrown away. Another way of saying is that the total amount of liquid (package) is not more than 1000ml. Pay attention to toothpaste, lipstick (lipstick) and so on.
(8) When you get on the computer, you slow down the time by an hour, but on the return trip, it's the opposite.
(9) When entering the customs, the arrival card and the depaturecard are handed over to the staff, leaving their personal electronic files and stamping them on their passports. Finally, the staff will pin the depaturecard on their passports, and they can travel freely in Thailand.
The quiet dawn, the leisure of rising in the morning
It was 4:17 a.m. local time (i.e. 5:17 a.m. Beijing time) when we landed on Phuket Island. In addition, we had to wait for the car owner to pick it up for more than an hour (there was a misunderstanding with the airport hotel in the middle, otherwise it would be faster). After all night's tossing, we all wanted to have a good rest. Now it proves how wise it is to book the airport hotel. You can have a good sleep at noon on the day of rest.
Our hotel, Phuket airport Mansion Phuket (everyone is tired in the evening, and the photos are taken in the morning). Although the hardware is average and the bathroom is a little small, the overall feeling is pretty good. The hotel is only 15 minutes' walk away from the airport. Of course, the hotel will arrange free pick-up. It's very suitable for red eye flights to make the transition, and you don't have to take the sea and mountain road at night. It's safer.

When I wake up in the morning, I encounter a shower. The rain here is very heavy and frequent, but the time is very short. The estimated time of rain can also be judged according to the dark clouds in the sky.

Due to a lot of mosquitoes, pay attention not to open the balcony door.
Breakfast is almost the standard of domestic Hanting and Super 8 hotels. It's quite good and cost-effective.

Out of the airport is the rental point of each car rental company, which is very convenient. Daily travel in Phuket is chartered, and taxis are very expensive and difficult to get. Those familiar with right-hand driving can consider renting a car.

The hotel features a strip-shaped swimming pool around the room. The water is very clean and the floating leaves are cleaned every day.
It is a long and narrow swimming pool. The courtyard of the room is on both sides of the pool.
In the morning, along the long swimming pool, the fragrance of different plants on both sides makes people relaxed and happy.
Single villa room on the other side.
At the sight of such a beautiful swimming pool, the children are completely happy and the adults are completely relaxed.
After swimming for less than 2 hours, it rained three times. Phuket deserves its reputation in rainy season. Different from Shanghai, when it rains, it's colder on shore, but warmer underwater.
Water is a source of happiness for children.
The hotel provides free shuttle bus every day, which can drive to the intersection or the beach. There are not many kinds of breakfast and there is no air conditioning. It starts at 7:00 and ends at 10:30 on the island. At night, there are many insects on the balcony, but the room is equipped with a dryer for guests to turn on 24 hours. For those who are equipped with a swimming pool
Hotel room
The sudden rainstorm, the rainy season shower in Phuket, come fast, come fast, go fast.
Wonder and fantasy! Fantasy Kingdom
Although fantasy is known as "Disney of Phuket", it is quite different from Disney. Since it is only open at night and the time is limited, there are not many items that can be played in the park. Even if there are, they can only be played in domestic shopping malls (such as shooting, looping, shooting, etc.). Most of them are small commodity and souvenir shops. There are more than 10 shops with different styles that can buy Thai local products, such as Tess, leather, and so on Handicrafts and pottery, etc.
The usual route is from 5:30 to 6:00 in the evening. Whether you book tickets online or buy tickets on the spot, the seating arrangements of all cafeterias and theaters are subject to the day when you collect tickets. If it is online booking, please show your booking name and reservation code when you pick up the ticket (the figure below is the ticket office). The tickets you get on that day will be clearly printed with meal time, table number, performance time, entrance slogan and seat number. The sticker at the bottom of the ticket can be torn off and pasted on your clothes for the staff to check.

The ticket includes the cost of the cafeteria. After dinner, the remaining tour time is about 2 hours. You can go to the carnival village at the entrance of the park.

After entering, you need security check, camera and mobile phone need to be stored (randomly divided into colors to queue up, it can be seen that the performers who maintain order are still wearing costumes). After watching the show, you can come to the door and get it according to the color number card. At the end of the performance, there will be many balloons falling from the sky. You can take one as a souvenir.
Although the return flow is relatively concentrated at the end of the 10 o'clock performance, the return bus is arranged in an orderly way. When you return to the hotel at more than 11 o'clock, you can enjoy the first day of the tour.

Fairy Peninsula, the Cape of God
Shenxian Peninsula, protruding from the southernmost tip of Phuket Island, is located at pontea promontory, 18 kilometers away from the urban area, which means "promontory of God" in Thai.
Shenxian peninsula is named for its charming scenery and romantic atmosphere.
Looking south from the observation platform on the island, you can see the vast Indian Ocean.
On the top of the viewing platform, the four Buddha is worshipped. Around it, there are many wooden statues. After the local residents realized their wishes to the four Buddha, they sent the wooden statues here to fulfill their wishes. The tall palm trees on the shore and the endless dark blue Indian Ocean are dotted with several isolated islands, which are really immortal scenes. This is the best place to watch the sunset on Phuket. It is said that facing the vast Indian Ocean, the sunset can create a perfect halo from behind.
