This seemed to be the best seat in the entire restaurant. Yunluo and An Chuyu seemed unable to accept such a surprise all at once, and kept asking the waiter, "This table is reserved. Is it really okay to take down the sign and let Yunluo and An Chuyu dine?" Happiness that comes too quickly often feels unreal. Anyway, no matter whether it is really reserved or not.
Once you sit down to eat at such a seat, you may not care whether the food is authentic or whether there are too many flies. You care more about the scenery outside and the person sitting opposite you. I don't know if it's because the scenery around is too beautiful, but I always feel that the cliff restaurant is not as bad as the reviews say.
Plus its location, this is definitely a must-visit place on Koh Racha. A large table costs 880b. After all, many things on Koh Racha are shipped from Phuket, so the price is normal. Moreover, such a beautiful view with delicious food, only over 100b, I think it is very cost-effective.
Seafood fried rice, Tom Yum Goong soup, green papaya salad on the upper right, Thai fried noodles on the lower right. The legendary giant lizard on Koh Racha is greeting you. Koh Racha Island Koh Racha Island Koh Racha Island Koh Racha Island Koh Racha Island Koh Racha Island After lunch, the day-trippers on the white beach left. At this time, the beach belongs to the tourists who live on the island, and the quiet beach is what it really looks like.
At about 2pm, Yunluo and Anchuyu walked back to the hotel to check in. After a short rest, they decided to take their snorkeling gear to snorkel at Konkarebay in Banraya. They also passed Terbay and the coconut beach. Nothing could be more beautiful than this. It took about 15 minutes to walk from the hotel to Konkarebay.
Unfortunately, the waves were too big, so they could only snorkel nearby to see the small fish. They didn't dare to swim out, because they might get hurt by the rocks. The waves were too strong, so they really didn't dare to swim out. Fortunately, there were still many schools of fish in the nearby waters, which was enough for rookies like Yunluo and An Chuyu to have a little fun.
When snorkeling, we encountered a very nice Chinese family. Their daughter kept feeding the fish with bread, so Yunluo and An Chuyu saw many schools of fish. Later, when we moved to the white sand beach for snorkeling, we encountered this warm family again. They put a full set of snorkeling equipment on their daughter who was still in elementary school to prevent the child from being scratched by the coral reefs.
A full dry respirator was prepared for the child. This is something that all parents with children must learn. Yunluo and An Chuyu were also hesitant about whether to prepare bread. Advantages: Bread can attract a large number of fish; Disadvantages: Feeding bread casually will affect the living habits of marine fish. After all, Yunluo and An Chuyu hope that Yunluo and An Chuyu's child will be happy.
You can also continue to see all kinds of beautiful fish on Emperor Island, which is a contradiction. Because Xiaozhuzhu is not good at swimming, he kept holding the rope in the water with both hands and did not dare to swim out. However, even so, because there were children feeding the fish, the underwater scenery was still amazing.
Due to the strong wind and waves, Yunluo and Anchuyu decided to go ashore early. They decided to go back to Racha White Beach. At this time, the white beach, soft sand, quiet sea water, birds pecking at your feet from time to time, and the quietness after the day tourists left made people dare not speak loudly for fear of ruining the atmosphere.
At this time, we saw people snorkeling in the southern part of the bay, and the area had been roped off by locals. It was safe, so Yunluo and An Chuyu went into the water again. This time, Yunluo and An Chuyu brought (goprohero3+) to shoot. The waterproof hard shell of the camera was too expensive, and I might not use it many times in the future, so I only bought a simple waterproof cover, but it was cheap after all.
I only dared to use it for splash-proof shooting in the swimming pool. So I finally considered choosing the waterproof black dog belt to go into the water. After all, it can also be used to take group photos. It is definitely a travel artifact. The underwater photos were not taken well. But Yunluo wants to tell you that when Yunluo came up from snorkeling, the biggest feeling was: Yunluo and An Chuyu can consider learning deep diving next time.
Or at least go snorkeling in a fun place! Snorkeling on the white beach probably just opened a small window for Yunluo to gradually get in touch with this mysterious world, while the real beauty of the seabed was still as mysterious as an iceberg. Snorkeling episode: When snorkeling, a small black fish kept sucking on Yunluo's belly. Yunluo swam to many places with the small black fish. He didn't even notice it.
Mr. Fat filmed Yunluo but didn't notice it. It was not until later that Mr. Fat looked back and suddenly found it, but he didn't dare to tell Yunluo immediately, for fear that Yunluo would be frightened and lose control in the deep water and choke on the water. Mr. Fat kept gesturing to Yunluo in the water to let her swim back. Although she didn't understand why, Yunluo still followed Mr. Fat to the shore and waited until Yunluo stood firm.
Mr. Fat asked Yunluo to look at his belly, and Yunluo screamed, scaring everyone around him to look at his belly. Mr. Fat asked for help from a local snorkeling instructor nearby. The local looked carefully and told Yunluo that the fish was not poisonous and that Yunluo should not worry. He then quickly picked up the small black fish on Yunluo's belly with the foam board in his hand.
It was very exciting, wasn't it? Later, when I reviewed the video of the day at home one day, I found that the little black fish sucked Yunluo's belly and accompanied Yunluo to many places, but Yunluo himself didn't feel it at all. After snorkeling at Emperor Island Konkarebaykonkarebay, I went back to the hotel to take a shower, change clothes and walk to Rayafather for dinner.
From the back door of the hotel, which is the Lighthouse Gate on the inland side (see the map above), it is not far to Father, but the door is open from 7am to 5:30pm. So when Yunluo and An Chuyu went to eat, they had to take a detour. There are restaurants and bars around Father, which is considered a relatively lively area on Emperor Island.
Compared to the hotel restaurant, this place is more cost-effective. But the road back to the hotel after dinner is pitch black, and you need a flashlight. Students with weak sense of direction and timidity can just bypass it and choose to stay in the hotel. Father's dishes are average, and you must order fried noodles for every meal, because the taste of Thai fried noodles in each store is different.
Those who can handle spicy food can try their green curry. Yunluo and others who cannot handle spicy food were defeated. Beer is a must for every meal in Thailand. During these days in Thailand, there was almost no meal without beer. Singha beer is Yunluo and An Chuyu's favorite. The dark country road from father to hotel really needs a flashlight.
I remind you to prepare flashlights again. Although the path is dark, it is indeed a great place for stargazing. When you look up, you can see the sky is full of stars. At this moment, you can only feel the vastness of the world. You are as small as dust. Walking back to the hotel, you found the hotel's convenience store behind the hotel restaurant. Because it is opened by the hotel on the island, the price is relatively high.
But it is also a snack and drink supply station. Convenience stores close around 8-9 o'clock, so go early. Finally, take a night swim in the hotel pool. It is quiet at night. There are no naughty children to disturb you during the day. This time and space are all yours. In fact, this day is the turning point of skin from normal color to wheat color. In Phuket, looking at my wheat color.
You will never feel that you are weird, but you will feel that you are not dark enough, because those foreigners have healthier skin. They mostly choose tanning oil to get an even tan. But it was not until I went to northern Thailand and was mistaken for a Thai girl many times that I suddenly realized that my skin color was incompatible with most Chinese people and the beautiful girls in northern Thailand.
Well, here's a good night to Rayaburi Resort (Rayaburiresort) on Emperor Island.
Afraid of missing the scenery on the island, I woke up early and went to the hotel beach. At this time, there was only you, Yunluo, and the long-tail boat. After the hotel buffet breakfast, I returned to the room, changed into swimsuits and headed to the beach. Until 3:30pm before the speedboat returned to Phuket, Yunluo and An Chuyu always guarded this peaceful sea. Sunbathing, swimming, and chatting.
Slow down the pace again and again. Take a nap when you are tired, drink a coconut when you are thirsty. Relax every nerve and skin in your body completely. The hotel's wooden beach chairs are free for guests staying in the hotel. However, chairs on the beach are still charged. Yunluo and An Chuyu used chairs on the beach. When they just sat down, the hotel staff confirmed whether Yunluo and An Chuyu were staying in the hotel.
Yunluo and An Chuyu confirmed that it was free. But later someone else came to collect the fee, and still gave 100b/person. I was very confused. I didn't want to ruin my mood so I didn't care. But the attitude of the hotel waiter was really average. No smile from beginning to end. There are paid toilets and showers by the beach. Even tourists staying in the hotel are charged.
But it saves the inconvenience of going back and forth to the room. The baby who came out to play wearing only diapers Emperor Island Emperor Island Your shadow Yunluo's smile Yunluo will not tell you that this crazy woman is Yunluo Emperor Island Emperor Island Emperor Island At 3:30pm, the speedboat set off on time to Chalong Pier. As soon as he got on the boat, Yunluo fell asleep on Mr. Fat's shoulder.
The boat docked, he patted Yun Luo's face and told Yun Luo to get off the boat. Mr. Fat always despised Yun Luo's bad habit of falling asleep on the boat, so Yun Luo didn't have the chance to see the scenery on the road. He got off the car and walked a few steps to find a taxi to Usunsuri Hotel. The first one was 600b, and he left directly. The second one was 500b, and he bargained down to 400b.
Get on the bus! After getting on the bus, I still kept sighing that the taxi driver was really honest. When I got off at the hotel, the driver gave me 100b less change. Fortunately, I counted it, otherwise I would have been cheated by the unscrupulous driver. So everyone should be careful. I also encountered a similar situation when taking a tuktuk in Chiang Mai. The girl who was responsible for check-in was very nice, so nice that I just wanted to marry her home.
As soon as they arrived at the lobby, she greeted Yunluo with the sweetest and brightest smile in the world, wiped the sweat off Yunluo and An Chuyu with a lemon-scented ice towel, asked Yunluo and An Chuyu how their trip to Emperor Island was, and said that their big yellow luggage was still in their luggage room. She was like a fairy sister who had fallen into the mortal world, with a pure and cheerful expression from the heart.
Of course, the customer experience was also perfect. During the whole process, she kept asking Yunluo and An Chuyu to sit on the sofa, while she knelt on the floor, asking Yunluo and An Chuyu to choose handmade soaps, and telling Yunluo and An Chuyu the hotel's restaurant opening hours and other details. She refused several invitations to sit on the sofa.
Remember, U Hotel has a 24-hour check-in policy, which means you can check in at a certain time and check out at a certain time the next day. The hotel is very large and built on the hill. The center of the hotel is a swimming pool with a strong sense of hierarchy. If you don't want to walk up and down the stairs, you can arrange for the hotel's golf cart to pick you up, which usually takes less than 5 minutes. But the hotel itself has a beautiful scenery, if you don't have luggage.
You can take a walk in the hotel and enjoy the flowers. The milk in the hotel refrigerator is free every day, and other drinks can be selected by each person, all of which are delicious! The hotel does not provide motorcycle rentals, but the waiter told Yunluo and Anchu that the nearest rental point was. So they quickly settled down and went out to rent a car to watch the sunset without strolling around. Usunsuri went out. At the place the waiter said.
That is, we found the taxi on the right side of the hotel. It was a temporary rental point. The owner would park a motorcycle there. When a guest came, the owner would drive over to handle the rental procedures. The owner looked at the room card and only asked Yunluo and An Chuyu to leave a deposit of 1,000 baht. He then rented a nearly new Honda to Yunluo and An Chuyu.
300b/day. After getting in the car, I asked the owner where to watch the sunset. The owner gestured with his hand and told Yunluo and An Chuyu that they could reach the destination by driving up the mountain. Without saying anything, I ran in the direction pointed by the owner. Because there were still 5 minutes before the sun went down. Here is a map. The picture below is a general map of the activity area of Yunluo and An Chuyu in Phuket that day.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The basic range of activities is at the southernmost tip of the island. The picture below is a detailed map. ABC shows the motorcycle route of Yunluo and An Chuyu from the hotel - watching the sunset - Rawai Seafood Market. A=Usunsuri Hotel, B=Best sunset viewing spot, C=Rawai Seafood Market. P.S. There are many hairpin turns along the way.
If you are not good at driving, please drive carefully. Yunluo and An Chuyu were racing against time on their motorcycles. The motorcycle was speeding on the winding mountain road. Suddenly, the view was clear - the red salted egg yolk was falling straight into the sea. Everything in front of me was so beautiful that I couldn't breathe. Then, they went all the way around the mountains to find the sea and arrived at the Rawai Seafood Market.
I bought seafood from the busiest seafood store at point c in the above picture. I also processed seafood at the busiest processing store across from it. One lobster, three mantis shrimps, one crab, four or five prawns, totaling 2880b. The processing fee and drinks totaled 505b. Except for the prawns, which were frozen, all the other seafood were alive.
When processing, each ingredient will have different processing methods to choose from. You can choose according to your own taste. If you are unsure, ask the waiter to recommend the local traditional special methods. Generally, it is not wrong. The two of us were completely full. In the second half, only Mr. Fat was working hard. The mantis shrimp vomited blood. Recommended! Must buy!
But later in Chiang Mai, Yunluo and An Chuyu met a warm local middle-aged auntie, who talked to Yunluo and An Chuyu for half an hour about seafood in Phuket Town. Yunluo said that Yunluo and An Chuyu went to Rawai Seafood Market, and the auntie said that the cheapest and best seafood market is in Phuket Town. So latecomers can pay attention to it.
When you get to Phuket, just ask the hotel staff. The enthusiastic Thai people will tell you everything. There is a small stall similar to the night market next to the seafood market. On the way back to the hotel, there is a 7-11, where I bought some snacks (my favorite is the Little Boss Seaweed). Although Mr. Fat is fat, he still keeps the good habit of swimming in the pool at night.
Then, I went back to the room and started the huge project of cleaning the camera. Here I would like to remind everyone who brought a SLR camera. Be sure to bring a cleaning kit, otherwise the sand will hurt your camera.
Today is the only day I spend 24 hours in Phuket. I slept in a little and went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. U's breakfast is a buffet, with many kinds of salads and fruits, which are very Yunluo's dishes. The hot noodles are also very authentic Thai. The restaurant grows in a large garden, and there are different small succulent pots on each table, which is absolutely a model of small freshness.
The lovely waitress will always ask you if you want coffee or tea.
Mr. Fat's favorite scrambled egg and Yunluo's favorite salad. Please forgive Yunluo's swollen and fat face in the morning. After breakfast, I drove the most powerful motorcycle I rented for the whole trip to the pier. The specific location of the pier can refer to the location of Rawai Seafood Market in Day 3. It is in the same location.
I can drive on this road with all the hairpin bends up and down the mountain again. I am so excited that there are no boats moored at the pier here. There are only a few tourists strolling here and a few locals fishing. Compared with the lively beaches on the island, this place is like an uncultivated virgin land, quietly left to you.
Walking to the farthest end of the long pier, it was like standing in the middle of the sea. Let the sea breeze beat and the sun caress me. I went back to the hotel, changed into something light, and crossed the mountains to Jiangxi Leng! Of course, the trip was a slow one. There were kata viewpoints and various elephant camps along the way, and my eyes were never enough.
Kataviewpoint is a place where you can see the entire W-shaped Kata Beach. Please ignore the photographer's skin color, which is like a cooked prawn. Go north for about 2 minutes and you will see a bar, afterbeachbar. This is a cliff bar at a height of 0.1 degrees. It is perfect to come here in the afternoon to avoid the sun.
This bar seems to be very famous in many travel guides. Although I couldn't feel the lively atmosphere at night, the quietness during the day seemed to suit Yunluo's taste. There were only a few people in the whole bar. I randomly chose a good seat near the beach. I replenished my water, had some snacks, and continued my journey. It takes about 30 minutes by motorcycle from U Hotel to Jiangxi Leng. (To be continued...)
