Enthusiastic welcome
Koh Samui is main island of the archipelago with the same name in the Siamyosky gulf of Thailand which includes 80 islands. From the plane I see the most attractive landscape – Yooslepitelno white sand and millions coconut palm trees! The most attractive place small (25х20 km) islands is beach Chaweng at east coast. A zone of rest with palm trees in the extent of 7 km with everything that is necessary for the person: places for residing of all price categories, Thai and international restaurants, bars open-air and shops with bikini and beach accessories. In total in five kilometres from here we are waited by the Great Buddha. It is majestic sits on a throne on miniisland Koh Fan – here it is possible to get, having passed through a narrow shaft. And it is possible to reach by a taxi (apprx. 1 euro) – they stop at every turn and go, as soon as enough of passengers will gather. Having admired the Buddha, it is possible to go round round island on a ring road in the extent of 50 km, stopping on the way on the most beautiful beaches (Bo Phut, Mae Nam, Lamai and Choeng Mon). The spectrum of water Yorazvlecheny is huge – "bananas", sailing vessels, парасайлинг, a water ski. But the most demanded kind of activity here – lazy rocking in hammocks, Yokupanie in warm 28-degree Yomore and tasting of the Thai kitchen: fiery soup from цитронеллы (a wild orange grass) with ginger, кремообразное coconut milk with карри or sharp Yofruktovyj Yosalat Green Papaya (1–3 euros) – is tasty and is inexpensive.
Immersing
After several days of parties non-stop very much wanted to me
It is a little велнеса on-tajski: a drink from свежевыжатых papayas and a mango (1 euro), massage with coconut oil directly on a beach (4 euros), and then diving with a mask in crystal-clear water. The best place for this purpose – small island Koh Tao. It has been opened in 80th years fans of a scuba diving – here it is possible to see an improbable variety of small fishes and corals and if will carry, also sea turtles, a sea slope and whale sharks (coralgranddivers.com)! Are especially rich with kinds of a place for immersing of skin-divers round three Yonebolshih «робинзоновых» islands Nang Yuan. They settle down directly before Koh Tao and are connected among themselves by white sandy shallows. At the western coast Koh Tao 2-kilometre beach Sairee is transformed in small изысканный parkway. Here appoint свидания and along toward evening meet, that in coastal cafes to admire a sunset. Favourite places for this purpose – cafe Vibe, Beach Bar, Lotus Bar and Fizz Beachlounge. After four days of continuous pleasure and idleness again it wanted to me to plunge into vanity of a city life. So quickly in a boat and on Koh Samui, and therefrom by the plane – in capital!
Two nights In Bangkok
In capital with ten millions inhabitants it is possible to spend many months, but and not to see all up to the end. However for two days I was in time much! First of all I have found Tuk-Tuk-Taxi – after the hot auction the price has been established: 10 euros for all the day. And forward, to the most interesting sights: to the Chajna-town with its brisk lanes and taverns exhaling appetizing aroma, to a royal palace and by a quarter of temples Wat Pho. There I have admired the lying Buddha (45 m at length!) also has allowed to knead to itself stones at the most well-known school of massage in Thailand (8 euros/45 of minute). Excellent preparation for forthcoming shopping!
Moll-marathon
The best shopping centres are located at National stadium – it is possible to reach on monorail road (the easy underground – Skytrain, the ticket of 50 eurocents). Favourable purchases – in shop MBK (jeans from 3 euros, silk bedroom-slippers from 1 euro). In next Siam Paragon invite boutiques Chanel, Gucci and Porsche, многозальный a cinema and an aquarium. Central World, the biggest молл Bangkok, bribes modern architecture – that there is one glass sparkling lift (centralworld.co.th). And all three молла are connected among themselves by pendant foot paths! When at ten o'clock in the evening of a door are closed, I go in Suan-Lum Night Bazaar (if to reach the easy underground, stop Lumphini): to wander till midnight in 3700 shops.
