ʻO ka huakaʻi huakaʻi ma Bangkok a i Phuket: Ka huakaʻi nui o Thailand Hema

Pono wau e hele i kahi hālāwai ma Phuket a loaʻa ka manawa e kipa a mākaʻikaʻi ai. Ua hoʻoholo mākou e kalaiwa a hele i kahi ala huakaʻi mai loko mai o ia me kahi manawa e ʻimi maoli ai i ka lele ʻana no 75 mau minuke ʻaʻole ia e ʻae.

He huakaʻi kēia a mākou i hana ai i nā manawa i hala ma mua i loko o 29 mau makahiki o koʻu noho ʻana ma Thailand. E lawe mākou iā mākou i ka huakaʻi hele 864 km mai ko mākou home ma Bangkok a hiki i Phuket - kahua pāʻani mokupuni kaulana o Thailand. Ka Momi o ke Kai Andaman.

No nā kenekulia, ke kumu waiwai nui no ka mokupuni ʻo ka mining mining. I kēia manawa, ua hoʻolilo ka mākaʻikaʻi a me ka laholio iā Phuket i ka ʻāina waiwai loa o ka ʻāina.

Ma kēia huakaʻi ua hoʻolālā mākou e noho ma kekahi mau hōkele he mau wahi i pili loa i ka mining mining o ka mokupuni i hala.

Haʻalele mākou iā Bangkok i ke kakahiaka nui a hāhai mākou i ke ala kai ma ke komohana hema ma ke awāwa ʻo Thailand a hiki i Hua Hin a laila ma ka hema a hiki i Surat Thani. Mai laila aku mākou e hele aʻe ma ka hikina i ka hikina a i ke komohana ma mua o ka huli hou ʻana i Phuket a me ke kai Andaman.

Me ke kū ʻana o ka manawa huakaʻi ma kahi o 11.5 mau hola e kalai ana. Hoʻolālā mākou e hana i ka huakaʻi i hoʻokahi lā, ke makemake ke Akua. Ua hoʻomākaukau mua ʻia ke kaʻa a lawelawe hou ʻia.

Me ko mākou hoʻomaka mua loa ua hōʻea mākou i Hua Hin ma 6.30am i pale aku i nā huakaʻi hele mua mai Bangkok. ʻO kahi huakaʻi ma lalo o ʻelua mau hola. ʻO ka maʻamau me ke kalepa he ʻekolu hola ia. Ua uku uku kā mākou hoʻomaka mua. ʻIke mākou i ka wanaʻao o ka wanaʻao i ko mākou hōʻea ʻana i kahi lani ʻeleʻele i ke ānuenue kala i kū ʻole i ka kūikawā.

Hoʻomau mākou ma ke Alanui 4, ke Alanui Phet Kasem, ka lōʻihi loa o Thailand (1,274km). E hele mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi ma waena o 12 o nā panalāʻau 76 o Thailand - Bangkok, Samut Sakhon, Nakhon Pathom, Ratchaburi, Phetchaburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Chumphon, Ranong, Surat Thani, Phang-Nga, Krabi a me Phuket.

Mai Hua Hin, hele aku i ka hema ma ke Alaloa ʻAkia, e pili ana i ke komohana o ke awāwa. Paheʻe nā kilomita. Hele mākou ma nā ala maikaʻi, ka hapanui o nā pālua. Kūpono ke kaʻa, a holomua maikaʻi mākou. Ke hele nei ma waena o Pranburi a me Prachuap Khiri Khan, hoʻomau mākou i ka leusurely hema.

Hiki mākou i Chumphon - ko mākou hapa hapalua. Aia ma ka Isthmus o Kra, ke kahakai o ka ʻāina e pili ana i ka Peninsula Malay me ka ʻāina nui ʻo Thailand. Me kahi kahakai 222 km a me nā mokupuni he 44, ʻike ʻia ka Chumphon Archipelago no nā koʻa ākea a me kahi kahakai lōʻihi i piha i nā kahakai maluhia.

Ma Chumphon hui mākou i ka A41. ʻO ia ke ala nui no nā panalāʻau hema hema. Hele mākou i ke komohana hema.

ʻO ke ala 41 kahi ala ākea ʻehā, ʻelua laina i kēlā me kēia ala. ʻO ia kekahi ʻāpana o ke Alanui Alanui ʻAsia AH2.

Hele haohao ka huakaʻi. ʻO ka lele ʻana mai Bangkok a Phuket he 75 mau minuke wale nō akā e hala ana ʻoe i nā wahi kupaianaha āpau. ʻAʻohe ala maikaʻi e loaʻa ai ka manaʻo no ka ʻokoʻa o kēia ʻāina kupaianaha a e nānā iki i ko mākou ola i kēlā me kēia lā ke holo mākou i hala.

Aia mākou ma ka wāwae hope o ka huakaʻi. Ke hele nei mākou ma waena o ka moku ʻo Krabi me nā ʻāina puʻu a me nā kahe o nā limestone. Aia ma ke kowa o Malaka, ma waena o Phuket ma ke komohana a me ka ʻāina nui ma ka hikina. Mālama ʻē ʻia nā mokupuni o ka moku ʻo Krabi.

Hele mākou ma waena o ka moku ʻo Phang-Nga i hoʻonani ʻia me nā kūpuna limestone. E mākaʻikaʻi mākou i kēia wahi ma ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana o ka wāwae i kekahi mau lā ma Khao Lak.

Hele wikiwiki mākou i ke alahaka ʻo Sarasin e pili ana i ka ʻāina nui a i ka mokupuni ʻo Phuket. Hele mākou ma kahi kokoke i kahi haʻalele i kahi māka o ka mākaʻi. ʻO kā mākou huakaʻi hele ma kahi o lalo o 11 mau hola.

Makemake mākou e hele i ko mākou hōkele i ka manawa no ka ʻauʻau ʻana a me kahi pāʻina hoʻomaha. ʻAʻole mamao ia mai kā mākou hōkele e kokoke ana i ke kahua mokulele ma ke kahakai ʻo Nai Yang kupaianaha, kekahi o nā kahakai one kaulana o Phuket.

Hele mākou i ka hema i kā mākou hōkele ma ke kahakai ʻo Nai Yang, The Slate Phuket, no kahi hoʻomaha e makemake nui ʻia.

ʻO ka vibe 'tin-mine' o ka Slate Phuket 5-hōkū he quirky a kū hoʻokahi. Ua aloha au i ka hoʻolālā i koʻu manawa i hele ai i ka hōkele. He mea nani wale ia. ʻO ka Slate Phuket kahi mea paʻa mau i ka papa inoa hōkele o Phuket i nā makahiki he nui a ua kapa ʻia ʻo Indigo Pearl.

Aia ma kahi kokoke i ke kahua mokulele ʻo Phuket International e noho ana ka resort i kahi wahi kūpono e pili ana i ka nani maoli o Sirinat National Park a me ke kahakai ʻo Nai Yang, kekahi o ko Phuket maikaʻi a maikaʻi loa, kūpono no ka ʻauʻau ʻana a me nā haʻuki kai.

Ua kapa ʻia ka hōkele kahakai hoʻolālā e like me The Slate Phuket ma 2016. Ua hoʻolālā ʻia ka wahi e Bill Bensley i kahi kaila e hōʻike ana i ka hoʻoilina hoʻoilina piʻina o ka wahi ma mua, me nā hana i hana ʻia e nā mea noʻeau metallic.

Hahai nā lumi i kēia kumuhana. Hoʻonui a piha me nā mea pono āpau i hiki ke noʻonoʻo ʻia. He lumi maikaʻi loa lākou a makemake ʻoe no ka mea ʻole! Loaʻa iā mākou kahi pahu wai waho. ʻAʻole ia he tin akā keleawe!

Ma hope ma kēlā ahiahi ua ʻaina ahiahi mākou ma ka hale ʻaina Ginger Black. He hale ʻaina Thai lanakila lanakila ia he mea kupaianaha loa ia, ʻo ke kuke, ka hōʻike a me ka lawelawe ka mea kiʻekiʻe loa.

He mea hauʻoli ka hele ʻana i ka hale ʻaina, kekahi o kēlā mau manawa hoʻomanaʻo - he 'ʻike'. Ua huki ʻia kahi lima i ke kaula e kū i ke alo kai piha i ka uahi i hoʻomā ʻia e nā lama lama. Pololei mai kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. Aloha ia!

ʻO ke kaumaha, ua hiki i ka manawa e haʻalele ai iā The Slate a noʻu e hoʻomaka i ka pāpale o koʻu hālāwai ʻana i ka wā e hele ana i ka hema i Angsana Laguna Phuket Resort, no ka hālāwai papa waena o Skål Asia. ʻO ka Angsana ko mākou home no nā lā ʻekolu e hiki mai ana.

Aia ma Phuket's Bang Tao Bay ma ke komohana ʻākau o ka mokupuni, Angsana Laguna Phuket kahi hale hōʻoluʻolu maikaʻi, (ma mua ʻo Sheraton Grand Laguna), a ma waena o ka wahi hui mua loa o Asia, ʻo Laguna Phuket, i kūkulu ʻia ma waena o kahi maina mua.

ʻO nā kahakai nui me ke one keʻokeʻo nani a me kahi loko wai manu ʻole 300-mika i wahī ʻia a puni ka resort.

ʻIke ʻia no kāna wahi hālāwai, he hale ʻaha kūkā nona ponoʻī, a ʻo kāna kumu e hoʻoliʻiliʻi ai ia i wahi kūpono no nā hanana nui. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka hōkele ka hōkele nui no ka Skål Asia Congress 25-28 Iune 2020 i kēia makahiki i manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia ka mea nui loa, e ʻumeʻume ana ma kahi o 300-400 Skalleagues mai ʻAsia a puni ka honua. Me kahi ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi ikaika e hoʻomau ʻo Asia i nā wahi ʻē aʻe āpau i ka honua o SKÅL.

Aia nā hale ʻo Laguna Phuket i kekahi mau hokele maikaʻi a kahi hopena i kāna pono ponoʻī. Me nā hale ʻaina, kolepa, haʻuki kai a me nā hana he nui wale ia ma 40 mau minuke mai ke kaona kaulana ʻo Phuket a me nā kūʻai maikaʻi loa ma ka mokupuni. Minamina, loaʻa he manawa liʻiliʻi e mākaʻikaʻi hou aku akā e hoʻi mākou i Iune!

Ma hope o ka ʻaoʻao ʻoihana o ka huakaʻi hele ia i Patong e loaʻa i kekahi mau lā ʻo R&R ma ke kiʻowai ma ka Holiday Inn Phuket kupaianaha. ʻO kahi punahele mau loa i ka puʻuwai pīhoihoi o ka mokupuni.

Ua haʻalele mākou i ka Angsana ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka a holo mākou i Patong he 30 mau minuke wale nō.

Hāʻawi ʻia mākou i kahi lumi deluxe lumi papa hele papahele hou loa i loko o ka hale lole ʻo Busakorn Wing - mahalo loa ia! ʻO mākou wale nō kahi e hele aku ana mai kahi wahi ʻauʻau Jacuzzi mālie e pili ana i ka loko wai hanohano hou.

ʻO ka loko wai waena ka mea maʻa nui ma ka hōkele. Hoʻonani ʻia i loko o kahi pōhaku one nani a me nā punawai holoholona. ʻO nā pālea wai nā polū lani a hoʻonani maikaʻi i ka pōhaku one - nani loa! Hāʻawi ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me nā kahakaha ʻāina i kahi ʻano 'māla oasis'.

Kupaianaha nā lumi, e like me nā Holiday Inns (IHG Group) o kēia ao. Nā hoʻolālā kiʻi no ka hōʻoluʻolu hou. ʻO ka laulā a me ka manawaleʻa i loko o kā mākou lumi deluxe i loko o kahi pā liʻiliʻi me nā pia, nā mea hoʻohuihui, nā mea inu a me ka wai. Ua hoʻopiha hou ʻia i kēlā me kēia lā.

Kūpono kahi wahi - he mau kapuai wale aku mai ke kahakai, Jungceylon a me Soi Bangla a me kāna nohona kaulana.

Aia ke kahakai kaulana a kaulana a Phuket. ʻO ke kahakai ʻo Patong me kahi kahakai one 2km ka lōʻihi i waiho ʻia i ke kai kūʻono me nā wai mehana, kūpono no ka ʻauʻau ʻana a me ka hoʻomaha ʻana i ka lā.

ʻO Patong kahi kiko waena o Phuket o ke ola pō. Aia ma kahi o Soi Bangla he 200 mau hale inu, nā kī, nā kī go-go a me nā discothèques kahi e kū ʻole ai ka hana a hiki i ke aumoe ʻana.

ʻO ia ka hōkele honua mua ʻo Patong, ke lawelawe nei ka Holiday Inn Phuket Resort i nā malihini no 32 mau makahiki (1987) a lilo i hoʻokahi o nā hōkele kaulana loa o ia wahi.

Ma ke ʻāpana o ka hoʻouka hou ʻana, aia he 104 mau lumi lumi lumi, me 17 mau lumi hou aʻe o ka loko wai. Hāʻawi ka mea hou i kahi villa mākua wale nō me ke komo wai a me nā lumi nānā wai, nā pono hou a me nā pūʻali indulgence kūʻokoʻa.

I ka ʻaina kakahiaka ua nui kā mākou koho ʻana a me kahi ʻike ʻaina maikaʻi loa. Uhi ʻia nā kumu āpau - Komohana, ʻEulopa, ʻAmelika, Vegetarian, ʻAsia, Thai, India, Middle East a me Iapana.

ʻO ka lumi kuke maikaʻi, nā limahana maikaʻi, ka lawelawe maikaʻi a me kahi mea ʻaina kakahiaka nui - nui nā SMILING hauʻoli lawelawe.

He mea hou ka ʻeheu Busakorn - kūkulu hou ʻia mai ka honua a ke kumu kūʻai o Bt 240m (US $ 8m).

Pololei ʻoe i ka puʻuwai o Patong akā me kāna hoʻolālā akamai lohe ʻoe i kahi liʻiliʻi o ka huʻi e kū nei i waho.

Whist ma laila mākou i kipa aku ai iā Wat Chalong - ka luakini ʻo Phuket ʻoi loa. Ua kūkulu ʻia ʻo Wat Chalong i ka hoʻomaka o ke kenekulia 19, ʻo ia ka nui o nā luakini 29 o Phuket a ʻo ka mea kipa loa ʻia.

ʻAʻole kipa iki aku i ka Holiday Inn Phuket me ke kipa ʻole ʻana iā Sam's, ka hale ʻaihue kaulana o ka mokupuni. Aia i ka ʻēheu nui nā mea āpau a me nā mea hou aʻe. ʻOi aku i kaʻu mau mea i manaʻo ai. ʻO ka hoʻolālā o loko he super, ʻili, aniani a me nā hōʻike pua. Aia ka hale ʻaina i kahi hale hele kīʻaha kīʻaha aniani i loko, kaohi ʻia ka mahana, e mālama i nā waina i ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe. ʻO kahi papa kuhikuhi maikaʻi a me ka lawelawe maikaʻi slick. ʻO kahi ʻike ʻaina maikaʻi loa.

ʻO ke kaumaha, ua hiki i ka manawa e haʻalele ai i ka mokupuni a e hele i ke kūkulu ʻākau e hoʻomaka i ka huakaʻi huakaʻi hoʻi i ka home. ʻAʻole like me ka huakaʻi i lalo e hana ana mākou i 2 kū.

Ua hele mākou i ke alahaka ʻo Sarasin e pili ana iā Phuket me ka ʻāina nui. ʻO kā mākou kū hou ʻana ʻo Apsara Beachfront Resort a me Villa ma Khao Lak, Phang-Nga.

Aia ka Apsara Beachfront Resort a me Villa ma Pakarang Beach ma kahi o 90 mau minuke mai ke kahua mokulele ʻo Phuket International.

ʻO ka hopena o Nowemapa / i ka mua o Kekemapa, hanohano ka wā. Ke hoʻokokoke aku nei ʻoe i ka hōkele ʻike ʻoe i ke kahakai ākea me kona one nani, keʻokeʻo a me ke kai maʻemaʻe.

Kūpono ke kahakai no ka jogs o ke kakahiaka a me ka holo ʻana o ke ahiahi i ka lā hoʻi, ʻaʻole piha, pumehana ke kai, a makemake mākou e nānā i ka heʻe nalu.

Aia nā lā i waho o kēia ao. Kahi maikaʻi loa e hoʻomaha ai, lani wale nō.

Hele lōʻihi ke kai i waho a waiho i kahi kahakai lōʻihi nani o ke one one keʻokeʻo. Aia kahi koho maikaʻi o nā kī a me nā hana. Kaulana ka wahi e nā malihini o ʻEulopa. Nui nā malihini kipa. He hōʻailona maikaʻi mau. Ma kahi kaʻawale mai Phuket hana nui a nui nā ʻelike maikaʻi e loaʻa. Noho nā malihini he nui no 2-3 mau pule a ʻoi aku paha. Loaʻa a me ke kumukūʻai hoʻi ka maikaʻi o ka Barefoot. ʻO kahi hōʻuluʻulu kahi huakaʻi honeymoon kaulana.

Noho ʻia i kahi o ka nani maoli kūlohelohe kahi e kahe ai nā kai o ke kai Andaman i loko o kahi lagoon a me ka ulu lāʻau mangrove, e kūʻē ana i kahi kua mauna o nā ululāʻau, hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka Apsara i ʻelua mau ʻāpana no nā koho hoʻokipa.

ʻO ka Zone Resort (195 mau lumi) kokoke i ke kahakai a me nā ʻauʻau. ʻO ke kahakai kahakai kahakai kūpono no nā ʻohana. He lewa ʻo ia ke ola ma ke alahaka ʻo lagoon ma The Villa Zone (60 villas) hāʻawi ke kauhale i ka pilikino a me ka maluhia.

Ua kākau mākou i kahi Pool Pool a maikaʻi loa ia. Loaʻa iā ʻoe iho me 100% pilikino ma hope o ka puka paʻa a me ka māla pā.

Ua kūkulu ʻia ka loko wai ma Jacuzzi a me kahi lumi ʻaina e malu ai a me 2 mau lumi noho lā. Ua hoʻolālā maikaʻi ʻia. ʻO ia ka mahele kiʻekiʻe o ka noho ʻana, i hoʻolālā ʻia i ka kaila o ka wā tropical e uhi ana iā 180 sqm o kahi e noho ai. Hāʻawi nā villas pool i kahi lumi moe ākea, a me kahi e noho ai me nā puka heʻe nui e kiʻi ai i ka wai ʻauʻau a me ka lā, a me kahi lumipaku nui me kahi ua ua. Hele wāwae iki wale i ke kahakai.

ʻO ka mea a mākou e makemake nui ai, ʻo ia ka Villa Apsara, kalapu e like me, me kāna hale ʻaina ponoʻī, nā kaola a me nā loko. ʻOluʻolu a me nā meaʻai a me nā limahana keu.

Ua loaʻa ka hapa nui o kā mākou papa ʻaina ma ka hale ʻaina Napalai o ka hui ua maikaʻi loa.

ʻO nā lumi lumi āpau ma nā koho āpau āpau e laulā me ka pā kīwī kīwī a me nā mea pāʻani DVD, Wi-Fi manuahi, nā hoʻopakele uila a me ka wai inu manuahi.

Nui nā mea e hana a ʻike a puni ka hōkele. Maʻalahi ka hoʻopiha ʻana i kou lā me nā hana. Hoʻolilo mākou i ka hapa nui o ko mākou manawa a puni ke kiʻowai ma ka Villa, akā aia nā papa kuke Thai, ke kalai hua ʻana, ka pena ʻana i ka batik, ke kiʻi ʻana, ka nānā manu ʻana, ka kayak, paikikala a hana wale paha i ka hale hoʻoikaika kino.

Mai poina i kahi kipa i ka Apsara Spa. Ua hoʻohana mākou i kahi awakea hoʻomaha e hoʻomāhuahua ʻia e kā lākou hui akamai.

No kahi ʻono o ke ola kūloko e lawe i kahi kaʻa kaʻa i ke kikowaena kaona ʻo Khao Lak a ʻoluʻolu e ʻimi i nā hale kūʻai, nā hale kūʻai kūpono a me nā hale ʻaina. No kahi ʻike moʻomeheu hou aku, aia nā mākeke kūloko i mālama ʻia i ka pule e kūʻai aku ana i nā meaʻai kūloko, nā lole a me nā mea like ʻole o kēlā me kēia lā. E kipa iā Takuapa Old Town, nā luakini Buddhist, e pāʻani i ke kolepa a leʻaleʻa paha i kahi lā luʻu a me snorkeling.

ʻO kā mākou huakaʻi hope loa ma mua o ka hoʻi ʻana i Bangkok kahi noho no 2 pō ma ka ecolodge lanakila, ka Anurak Community Lodge. ʻO ka mea lanakila 2019 o ka SK environmentalL Asian Area environment award a me SK awardL's global sustainable award no nā kuaʻāina noho.

Aia ʻo Anurak Community Lodge e pili kokoke ana i ka pāka ʻāina ʻo Khao Sok ma ka hema o Thailand a ua hōʻoia ʻia ʻo Travelife. Ua loaʻa iā 20-unit ecolodge, i wehe ʻia i ka 2016, i kāna palapala hōʻoia ma hope o ka hoʻokō ʻana me nā kulana koʻikoʻi Gold Travel o Travelife.

Ua kiʻi mākou i kahi hōʻoluʻolu mai Khao Lak e hele ana i ka hikina ma o kahi mauna mauna nui loa ma waena o ka pāka aupuni. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā malihini e hele paha ma o Surat Thani. He mea kupaianaha loa nā wahi e puni ana i ka hale moe.

Ke nānā nui nei ka ecolodge i ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i ka hopena o ka nohona, ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka ikehu, ka mahalo ʻana i ka hana a me nā pono kanaka, ka mālama ʻana i nā kūlana olakino a me ka palekana, ka paipai ʻana i ka hui kaiāulu, ka hana pū ʻana me nā mea hoʻolako kūpono, a me ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka poʻe kipa e komo i nā hana e hoʻomau i ke kahua.

Ua lawe ʻo Anurak i nā loina o ka hōʻemi ʻana, hoʻohana hou ʻana, a me ka hana hou ʻana. ʻO nā ʻāpana nui o kāna hoʻokō paʻa ʻana me ka pāpā ʻana o ka palakiko hoʻohana hoʻokahi a me Styrofoam a me ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi kahua hana hoʻopōʻaiapuni a me kahi o ka composting. Hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia ʻo Greywater mai ka lole holoi a hoʻohana ʻia ma ka papahana ʻo “Rainforest Rising” o ka ecolodge, a i loko o ka wā lōʻihi, e hoʻihoʻi ia i ka 3,300 mau mika pā kanu aila i ka uhi ʻōiwi maoli.

I ʻAukake 2019, ua helu ʻia ka ecolodge ma waena o 36 o nā hale hoʻokipa ʻōmaʻomaʻo nui o ka honua i ka National Geographic Travel (UK) kono-honua wale nō.

Ma ka lihi o ka Khao Sok National Park, hāʻawi ka hale hoʻomaha i kahi o nā pūʻulu ecotourism mai ʻelua a ʻehā mau pō. ʻO nā hana e like me ka holoholo, rafting, kayaking, kuke nahele, a me nā huakaʻi o ka moku ma kahi kokoke o Cheow Larn Lake, me nā pali limestone kupaianaha e piʻi nui ana mai ka papa wai.

Aia ma kahi kaʻa he 75 mau minuke mai ke kahua mokulele ʻo Surat Thani a ʻelua mau hola a me 30 mau minuke mai ke kahua mokulele ʻo Phuket, hāʻawi ka hale hoʻomaha i ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo deluxe, pālua pālua, ka māhoe eco, a me nā koho halelewa deluxe jungle.

Hoʻopuni ʻia e nā wahi lime karst limestone, kahi kahua kūpono kahi e ʻike ai.

Ua hauʻoli loa mākou i ko mākou noho ʻana a lana ka manaʻo e hoʻi e ʻike i kona ulu ʻana.
