Almaty was over and Southeast Asia began with Phuket. In principle, there might not have been a month in Almaty, if it hadn't been for the greed of the airline and my greediness. Tickets in July were 2 times more expensive than the same in September. And in August there were no direct flights to Thailand. It takes 7 hours to fly from Almaty at night, convenient. On departure you don't need to do anything - to show your passport and not to break the rules will be enough, on arrival they check only that the name in the passport and on the certificate of vaccination coincides. The mask regime has been removed, but many at the airport and shopping centers continue to wear. Many people have been to Phuket, but for those who have not been - it is a small island where all year round summer, stuffy. There are several villages on the island, the main occupation of which is to serve tourists. Almost everyone speaks English but not more than it is necessary to make money. Not so long ago marijuana was legalized here, so here and there strange smells and images of green leaves forbidden in the ru. The internet is full of photos from Thailand, so there are no surprises here.

The sad story is that you can only stay here for 30 days without a visa, after that you have to fly somewhere else, which is inconvenient and not free.
