First, you have to change money, because you can't do anything without Thai baht. You don't need to know English at the money exchange place. There are currency signs everywhere, you just have to wait in line to change them. If you care about the exchange rate, just change it to 100 or 200 RMB, because the airport is losing money. (Note: RMB 100 yuan can be converted into about 500 baht)
By the way, since you can't speak a word of English, I suggest you buy a happy card (for surfing the Internet and making phone calls) in a treasure before going abroad. This is not an advertisement for merchants, and sellers in China are not more expensive than those in Thailand, because they can change their cards when they get off the plane. For people with poor English, online translation software is very important, because I use Google Translate to translate Thai directly to others, so I have a deep understanding ~
Ok, now you have money, telephone and internet, and the rest is to take a taxi to where you want to live.
Scene 1: You are bold and didn't book accommodation, so you just need to write down one word: PHAE Gate is the only place you must pass in the ancient city. There are many places to stay, all kinds of grades, and you can walk there.
If you happen not to write down this unfamiliar English, there is something simpler: imm hotel or m hotel are two landmark hotels near Tapemen.
(Please pay attention! In Chiang Mai, please don't use 7 1 1 convenience store as a landmark, because there are too many, all over the street ~)
From the airport to the ancient city, the fare is 50 baht per person, or maybe 30 baht. However, since you are a haggler who can't speak English, this price is for reference only. If you really can't buy a cheap car, just accept it. Who told you not to learn English well ~
By the way, remember to confirm the price with the driver with your mobile phone when you get on the bus. Because you can't speak English, the rhythm of fifteen to fifty is stupid, so this method is the safest way before spending: dial Arabic numerals with your mobile phone!
The exchange rate between Thai baht and RMB is almost 5: 1, even tens of Thai baht doesn't matter. Very cheap. Therefore, I personally think that people who can't speak should not care too much, because caring needs a language foundation.
When you arrive at Tapemen, you can also see many places to stay. People in Chiang Mai are very caring. In addition to the tall hotels, they will write themselves on the signboard as hotels. Almost all small hotels will have room photos on the street, and there will be some beds and so on. Just point to the photo and say you need it. You are the god of wealth, and the other person wants to make money, so you won't mind the reason for your poor language (if you do, don't be there.
Situation 2: You have booked a hotel in advance.
Please prepare the address, telephone number, map and photos of the hotel, because most drivers in Chiang Mai are really road blind and only know very famous places in one second. Even if there are maps elsewhere, they can only find a rough idea.
So, first show them the screenshot of the address and map, and then call him at the hotel when he arrives at the general direction and starts beating around the bush. It is convenient for them to communicate in Thai, and they feel that they are all slang. They can understand a word in a few seconds, so they can find many corners. However, here is a reminder: to be honest, I think if you don't give your mobile phone to a Thai, don't give it to him. Very risky. What should I do if I meet someone who is blocked? After living in Thailand for a month, I found that it seems that calls between Thais are free (probably monthly). You can ask the other party to make his own phone call. If you feel bad, you can give him a proper tip (mainly because I have read too many reports about Chiang Mai motorcycle gangs robbing things, and I am a little nervous.
Anyway, even Pig Bajie and his second aunt can find the hotel you booked (unless you booked a hotel in Bangkok but went to Chiang Mai because you mistakenly thought that Thailand was not as big as the Second Ring Road). Register as soon as you arrive. Just, just pay. It may have been paid online, so it's easier. There is no need for language communication at all, just nod and smile, how harmonious it is ~
I want to explain here that many innkeepers in Chiang Mai Inn will not be in the store after what time in the evening. Please check whether other guests have written comments when booking. If you really encounter a similar situation, call the innkeeper and tell her your reservation website and order number (please do your homework in advance, or translate this app with Google, the pronunciation will be very convenient). My personal experience is that when using software translation, please try to input words instead of complete sentences, so it is not easy to translate ambiguity.
The next scariest thing is how to live in Chiang Mai if you can't speak English.
I want to say here that if you just go for a few days and don't want to do your homework, you are willing to spend more money. In fact, Chinese services are provided in all fields, including restaurants, cafes, accommodation, day trips and accompanying gifts.
When you are wandering in the street, you only need to see friendly people from China, and just go in and ask. We just met the tape man, right? Opposite this door, on the street of the ancient city, go straight ahead. There is a village in Chili peppers, which is run by China people. Just go in and ask. Usually, he knows who to look for in shops and other tourist services run by China people. We China people all have circles. Just pick one and know almost everything.
By the way, I want to make a record here. Imm Hotel is outside the ancient city. The m hotel is in the ancient city. Be sure to distinguish between the inside and the outside of the ancient city. Don't make mistakes. There is a McDonald's in front of imm Hotel, but try not to take the local standard McDonald's because there is more than one McDonald's in Chiang Mai.
Of course, although some domestic businesses are not necessarily more expensive than foreigners (please compare the price difference yourself), some people come out to play just to challenge exotic customs, so next, let's talk about how to deal with Thais who can't speak English.
First of all, Thais don't necessarily speak English, so it's convenient to stay online at any time. It's convenient to have software that can translate Thai into Chinese (such as Google Translation app that can pronounce). (charging treasure must also be brought. If there is no electricity on the internet, it is teasing the monkey. )
Secondly, many restaurants have pictures of their own meals, and the prices are generally next to the pictures, which come from Thai baht. Just point to the map when ordering.
There is a famous restaurant at www. nn CBA. com 1 snail travel 1www.wntrip.cn, and you find it is a local Thai restaurant, not to mention pictures. What should I do?
Because that restaurant is very famous, and you saw it on the Internet (usually in Weibo), most people put pictures when promoting it, right? Download the picture directly to the mobile phone and show it to the waiter. Just do it!
One word is needed here: one (weight, fingers can exceed 1). If you are still a little particular about life, you can say a word to the drink you ordered: little ice often stands there after drinking a glass of water because there is too much ice in Thai drinks. Of course, you can drink like that, and it's up to people to be rich and frugal ~
I already know how to eat, and I have to pull when I eat. Let's learn the word toilet. I really can't bear to take the time to teach you, because I personally think the public toilets here are still not so easy to find. Remember this word: toilet, and then don't worry that what you meet is just a restaurant, just an inn, which has nothing to do with you. If you are really in a hurry, just say the word directly to the store. With a constipated expression and a smile, 90% of the stores will be willing to let you use their toilets. Of course, remember to rush them! (Toilet pronunciation, please practice several times, and check how to write Thai words if necessary, because some locals really don't understand this word and have to take off their pants to understand and cry.)
Here is another word that must be learned: wifi (if you have a happy card, you don't have to learn this word. Anyway, you are a local tyrant and take the internet with you). Usually you can't get a wifi password without spending money, but there are exceptions, such as extreme situations such as really rushing to find friends. Anyway, you look anxious. Maybe the store will give you a password, but this method is not recommended. More people will think you China people are good thieves.
So whether you are a local tyrant or a diaosi, as long as you need to surf the Internet or buy a happy card, it is the most "Dont Ask For Help". This card has an expiration date and needs to be recharged after it expires. You can call 7 1 1, just say it's a happy card and give them money. They still got the message, but I found 7 1 1.
The problem of eating and drinking is solved. This is a scenic spot. If you must follow the tour route to play those day trips, then find a Chinese-speaking supplier. Really, speaking English is too complicated, unless you meet a bilingual from China who can stay with you in the inn. If you meet him, hug your thighs and go out to play with him. Remember to invite him to dinner ~
If you don't have thighs to hug, go to a place that offers a one-day tour of Chinese. There are some near the Taipei Gate. You can see them along the city wall. You can't see them anyway, and you're not afraid. It means that you took another road and went to Chiang Mai Gate, so you couldn't see them. Then please keep walking. You must see them around the ancient city. What a waste of feet. Am I cute? ~
The ancient city is square, and what is particularly lovely is that the paths are interconnected. I think people who can get lost in the ancient city are gods in the road, because the design here is really stupid. Well, if you really get lost, take a taxi and let him go to M Hotel (I won't even say PHAE Gate in case you don't remember), so that you can go back to Chiang Mai, where everyone knows, right? Remember, those who charge more than 20 baht will never sit.
In fact, for the average person, is this enough? I think it's almost enough for now. To sum up:
Look at the pictures and prices when ordering. Just point to the picture. Some restaurants need to clean up their own dishes. Observe whether people around you have done it. If they do, learn to do it. Try not to waste, let alone make trouble, and don't embarrass China people.
Remember what the toilet said so that you can go in and out at any time. Any store can try to borrow the toilet without feeling embarrassed. If it is put outside, the Thai people will be even more embarrassed. Please don't pee anywhere, no matter adults or children, and don't embarrass us in China.
Raise your hand and hit a red double-decker car in the ancient city (pictured above). The basic fare is 20 baht, so the price is not to be discussed. Just say the address directly. In fact, if you don't know, give it to him, such as a map and a shop map. The more detailed, the better. Moreover, there is a particularly good way to ask a Thai to help you, because if you live in a shop run by a China, you must have a China person who can help you take a taxi, and he must be one of them who can open a shop abroad.
If you live in a Thai store, you just need to know where you want to go (try to have the phone number of the place you want to go, they will be happy to call you and help you understand, and there is really no charge. If you charge it, you can use your mobile phone to make it work, so the process is much simpler. You can ask the innkeeper for it and go directly to help you take a taxi. Isn't that all?
However, when I came back from there, I should still remember the famous landmarks next to the inn (for example, the intersection where I live is a famous local restaurant, so I will show the driver the logo map of the restaurant, and I will know, and I don't have to talk at all).
One-day tour is recommended to go with people in China, because there are many links involved, and it is embarrassing not to communicate at all. It is good for everyone to help. However, there is a suggestion. If you want to go out to play with a person, it is suggested to find out whether you two get along well, have dinner together, chat and feel whether the other person is a wonderful flower in your eyes. If so, you would rather not go than make do with it. Most people only go to the scenic spot once in their lives. If the travel companion is not OK, you may feel cursed by the three-character sutra, so you should carefully consider whether to choose a travel companion. In addition, because the holidays are limited, it is also important to control your bad habits and small problems as much as possible to make your trip successful.
My English test level in Thai Language School is 8 (out of 30), but I'm not the kind of person who doesn't speak. I try to organize a few words I can say to express my meaning, so I live alone in an inn run by Thai people every day, so even if I say so much, I suggest you try to force yourself to speak English when you go abroad, because that kind of formality is actually quite embarrassing and unnecessary. You said you weren't ashamed to say it, and it's hard for Thais to say. Besides, who knows who? There is nothing to be ashamed of. To be bold, you may get unexpected local friends in Thailand. Having said that, I suddenly remembered one thing, that is, I remember registering a FACEBOOK account abroad, and I met foreigners I talked to, hoping to get in touch with each other in the future and add them to each other. The advantages of this are:
1. You can communicate with him in written English, and you can use translation software in written English.
2. They are locals. If you need to know something, such as I need to buy an oil painting canvas, I hope it is cheap, and I will send it directly to my friends, who are Thai tattoo artists. These words are very complicated. I may not understand them in English, but everyone can understand them when I write them.
