Summarized my own travel experience in Thailand, and made a reference for friends who want to travel to Thailand, hoping to help everyone!
The content of this strategy is long, but it is full of dry goods. You can collect it if necessary ~ Send a video of Thailand to refresh you, and then explain in detail how to get to Thailand!
to go to Thailand, the first important thing is the visa. You can't enter the country unless you have a visa, and then you can start your trip to Thailand. Thai visas are divided into pre-departure visas, arrival visas and the latest electronic visas, which are divided into the following processes:
Visa in advance: you can go to the Thai consulate in China (Guangzhou or Beijing) in advance, or you can find an intermediary. The cost is about 3 per person, and the visa takes 3-8 working days. You can stay in Thailand for 6 days with this visa.
visa on arrival: after arriving in Thailand, fill in the entry card and visa on arrival application form at the airport, and then queue up for processing (the queue will be a bit long during the tourist season). The fee is 2 baht/person (about 4 RMB), and only Thai baht is accepted. PS: The preferential policy of Thailand and the United States is to exempt visa fees on arrival before October 31st this year. If you want to have fun, hurry up! ), valid for 15 days. This visa requires you to carry a certain amount of cash or equivalent currency with you (5% spot check rate, good character). If you don't pay cash, don't bring a check, or you are in danger of being repatriated. For example, the data sheet
E-visa: this is a way for self-help fools to handle it. It's-it's simple. Open the website, select Chinese, and then follow the steps.
after the visa is ready, where should I go to Thailand? Thailand can basically be divided into three routes: north, middle and south. These three areas are far apart, and the scenic spots are naturally scattered.
North: Mainly look at historical and cultural relics, temples, etc. In famous places like Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, the White Temple/Blue Temple is there, and many people are here to support the elderly.
South: Island tour is the main way. Phuket, Koh Samui and Krabi, the largest islands in Thailand, are all in the south of Thailand, making them the best choice for honeymoon and holiday.
Central: Mainly play in Bangkok, Pattaya and islands, and the most classic route is Bangkok-Pattaya-Koh Samui. Here, you can feel the royal culture, temple culture, massage culture, shemale culture, Muay Thai culture and so on. You can also feel the charm of islands, such as the famous Koh Samui, Greenland and Golden Sand Island.
Bangkok is the capital of Thailand, with the Grand Palace, Jade Buddha Temple, Four-faced Buddha, online celebrity water market, night market and other attractions. Pattaya Beach, known as Oriental Hawaii, is also a paradise for men, featuring shemale shows and adult shows. Of course, Pattaya also has attractions such as nongnooch Tropical Garden, Truth Temple, Golden House, and Rare Foshan. The nearest Koh Samui has the most beautiful beaches in Thailand, and you can enjoy windsurfing, snorkeling and other water activities all year round. Thailand and China are the quintessence of Thailand, with perfect tourism facilities and transportation infrastructure, and are the first choice for general tourism!
suggestion: for your first trip, you'd better recommend Bangkok (must visit) Koh Samui in Pattaya. According to statistics, 85% of the first trips to Thailand took this route. Benefits as mentioned above, the tourist facilities are perfect, the transportation is convenient, and it's really interesting to find a beautiful villa for vacation!
once the scenic spots and cities are determined, you should choose your own travel mode according to your own situation. Because I have been to Thailand many times, and I have tried to join a group and travel independently, I divided my travels in Thailand into three categories and described their advantages and disadvantages! Everyone chooses according to the situation!
1. Free travel: Everyone knows this. Food, shelter and transportation are arranged by yourself. As long as people have enough wallets, understand foreign languages and have enough experience to make arrangements, they will generally have a good trip. Travel experience and one's own expenses and experience. "if you"
2. traveling with a group: it is affordable to travel with a group in Thailand. Eat, live and play one-stop service, but 1% of domestic groups will be arranged in shopping stores after arriving in Thailand. Entering the store, but it will affect the play time of the scenic spots. Ignore this. In fact, the arrangement of eating, living and playing is not bad. You can still play if you want to worry.
digression: the main reason why domestic tour groups enter the store is that the tour fee will change layer by layer. For example, 3 tour fee, 3 commission for salesman, 3-5 deduction for domestic registered travel agencies and 3-5 deduction for local travel companies in Thailand. The rest of the tour fee is the turn to eat and live. There is definitely not enough money left, so it is impossible for a tour guide not to take a group into the store!
3. Semi-free travel: Combining the advantages of free travel and group travel, it is a popular travel mode. Its most direct way is to find a local travel service company in Thailand and plan and arrange the trip according to your own preferences. S also a one-stop service, including food, shelter and transportation. Good cost performance and freedom! Because it was directly signed with a local travel company in Thailand, it didn't change hands. These did not exist when we entered the store, and there were few small groups of 2-1 people. It will be more enjoyable to play. Personally, I suggest looking for a travel company run by China people or China people. The cost of language communication is low, and there will be no deviation in the arranged itinerary. In addition, a formal travel contract should be signed. Travel insurance is available, and there are no risk issues such as safety!
I suggest going to Thailand semi-independently, especially for the first time. Cost-effective, the best travel experience, worry-free pure play trip! It's always like this when I go to Thailand for vacation. My visa, round-trip air tickets, hotels, transportation, etc. It's all handled by travel agencies ~ I personally recommend a free tour in Thailand-a tour guide in Jun Jun. People are reliable, because they are all from China (Thailand travels freely-Jun Jun stayed in Thailand for 8 years! ), there is no obstacle to language communication! Going to Thailand can save a lot of trouble, killing customers and stepping on thunder will insulate you, and the money will be much less!
Hotels in Thailand are generally good. The better one has a swimming pool, and the one with a sea view is more refreshing. If you arrange your own itinerary, you can book at airbnb, booking and Ctrip (the first two are internationally renowned and have Chinese interfaces). Pay attention to the location of the hotel, understand the relevant terms, whether to cancel the reservation, whether to include breakfast, etc. In some places, taxes, cleaning fees, service fees, etc. Is required, and the charging items need to be specified.
most hotels check in after 2 pm and check out before 12 noon. Read the hotel terms carefully. If you want to have a relaxing time, you can sign up for a tour or join a semi-free tour. Thailand's local tourism companies will have certain discounts and save a lot of trouble. In addition, hotels in 3 yuan, Thailand, where RMB is less than RMB, don't have toiletries. Some hotels between 35 and 4 provide toiletries, and more than 4 hotels have toiletries. Basically, hotels will provide safes. Please put your valuables in the safe!
generally, domestic direct flights or transit are expensive, and transit is affordable. If you want to save money, your semi-free friend suggests that you contact the service guide who arranges your itinerary to book a plane ticket for you, which can be hundreds of dollars cheaper. Because every time I go to Thailand, I am semi-free, and the transportation is arranged by the Thai travel agency. But generally speaking, it can be said as follows:
self-driving: not recommended, one is the rental fee; 2 is the fuel cost; 3 is to drive on the right. Contrary to our country, you need to pay attention to red and green lights. If you are not familiar with driving, you are likely to have an accident.
Train: Friends who travel freely, I suggest you try the train in Thailand. It is a bit like a green leather train in China, but it is very comfortable inside. First class and second class. The first class cabin is the bunk bed of the private room, similar to the domestic soft sleeper. The second class cabin is bunk beds connected by corridors. During the day, there are two seats. At night, the conductor will change the seats into bunk beds. The space is large enough, clean and comfortable
In addition, nearby cities can also choose chartered buses, such as Bangkok to Pattaya. Local tyrants are free! Friends who want to experience a train or a boat can arrange it directly with a travel company in Thailand, or go to www.lomprayah.com to book a train-boat or bus-boat connection on the official website (supporting Chinese).
My friends who travel freely take taxis in the city, Bangkok recommends Grab, and others recommend Uber, which supports Chinese. It is very common in most cities in Thailand. If the gun can not be used, it is recommended to seek the help of staff (hotel/station staff). It is usually reasonable whether they call a taxi for you. Taxis in Bangkok really kill tourists, especially in crowded places.
The double car/Tu Tu car killed passengers seriously, so don't use it if you can. In case you need it, you must negotiate the price before you get on the bus. The suggestion of motorcycle is to rent a car (6-1/ day), and try to pay cash (about 8) instead of a passport. Go slow, buy insurance and wear a helmet. The traffic police caught a fine of 2 and was exempted from punishment for 5 days. A 1K baht without helmet is about 2 RMB, and two people are more than 4 RMB. Pay attention to this!
by the way, add some sightseeing projects in Thailand. Off-season game prices may have errors for your reference!
snorkeling: the daily tour ranges from 28 to 5, which is not recommended for the elderly and children. Pay attention to sun protection. You can rent a gopro in advance or buy a waterproof cover for your mobile phone when taking pictures in the water.
skydiving: there is one in Pattaya, and people can be picked up in Bangkok, ranging from 7 to 15.
Hot air balloon and hang gliding: available in Chiang Mai, the charge is 18 per person, about 9 minutes, and hang gliding is 4-5, about 15 minutes.
Jungle Leap: Phuket, Samui, Chiang Mai and Pattaya all have it, and the cost ranges from 2 to 4.
ATV Cross Country: Chiang Mai, Phuket, Koh Samui and Pattaya. It's good for its old driver to go surfing. The charge is about 18/ person/hour.
bungee jumping: There are some in Chiang Mai and Phuket, but I dare not go. T know the price, so who dares to go?
Ride an elephant: Don't ride an elephant, Tang. I hope you won't stop riding an elephant. Hmm!
other water sports (available on the island): deep diving (those who are interested can apply for the Taodao diving certificate directly for 3-4 days, with more than 2, yuan. It is cost-effective). There is also a single person who can report deep diving, and the single person charges about 6. Water flight, kayaking, sea fishing, barbecue, etc. Please arrange according to your own preferences. If you are interested in Mekong River cruise ships and shemale performances, you can find out for yourself.
Those who are interested in sightseeing and want to have fun can also travel to Thailand for free-Jun Jun wants an up-to-date list of sightseeing expenses in Thailand, which basically covers all sightseeing projects in Thailand. Look for a free trip to Thailand-book in Jun Jun for less!
The public security in Thailand is basically a fairly safe country, and there is no anti-China phenomenon. Of course, it can be compared with our country. I-I've always been ambitious about this!
1. Don't conflict with Thais. Thailand is a capitalist country, giving priority to protecting its own people;
2. Language barrier, it is useless for IT to speak English only. Many Thais can't speak English, but they can use Google Translate to communicate.
3. people who go to the red light district in Thailand or have nightlife ideas should pay attention. Don, if it doesn't move, don't move Not reliable, be careful to be slaughtered. It suggests taking care of your lower body!
4. consumption in Thailand and the United States is indeed much cheaper than domestic consumption, but it is better to ask the price when eating seafood, otherwise it may vomit blood when checking out;
5. If you go to Thailand, you can start international roaming in advance, or you can buy a happy card after you go to Thailand, and the traffic and telephone charges will be much cheaper.
6. Royal palaces and temples in Thailand and the United States have dress codes, and clothes that are off the shoulders and over the knees are not allowed to enter.
7. Don't loiter in the street after 11-12 o'clock. Don't travel alone at night, let alone go to remote alleys. If you have any questions, please contact the embassy in time!
Thailand's raiders are almost here ~ Personal suggestions for the food section are: first, go to the local area, check the reputation through the app, and second, choose more restaurants where local people go. If you have any other questions, just ask. I will take the time to reply! I hope too.
