Thailand travel guide
There are some attractions in Thailand that you should know.
Now the editor would like to tell you some practical information about Thailand, such as visas, transportation, etc.
This is what you need when going to Thailand.
Now let's go and see it together.
Preparing for a visa before traveling Thailand allows you to get a visa on arrival, but I still prefer to get a good visa in China, which is safer.
There are many agents online. A universal treasure costs 230 yuan/person.
All you need is your original passport and a 2-inch photo, which will be received within 7 working days.
The visa is valid for 90 days from the date of issuance and can stay in Thailand for 60 days.
Passports, customs declaration forms, entry-exit cards (original entry, second exit), customs declaration forms, entry-exit cards, etc. required for entering and exiting Thailand, please fill them in English and use capital letters for your name.
No matter which channel you take, you need to hand in the completed customs declaration form.
Sometimes, passengers' luggage will be asked to pass through an X-ray detector or be opened for inspection.
Currency RMB: Thai Baht 1:5.
This year, Thailand enacted a new regulation.
Everyone entering Thailand must bring at least 20,000 baht (equivalent to 4,000 yuan), which can be exchanged at the Bank of China and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in China.
Bank of China seems to be more cost-effective than local exchange in Thailand, so you need to make an appointment one day in advance.
You can also use UnionPay cards to withdraw money directly from local ATMs.
There is a Chinese prompt, the exchange rate is not bad, about 1:5.3, but each withdrawal requires 50 baht.
Remember to recognize the UnionPay logo and try not to withdraw it from the airport ATM.
The handling fee will be more expensive.
For phone cards/phone cards, buy a happy card in advance on Taobao, with unlimited traffic for 7 days.
You can go online and make phone calls.
I went there for 10 days this time, bought two cards, and changed one on the 7th day.
Recharge can be purchased at local 7-Eleven convenience stores, telecom business halls or even airports.
The power plugs are basically the same.
Thailand also has 220v voltage, so household appliances can be universally used without the need for additional transformers.
But the plug is slightly different.
The wall jacks in Thailand only have two phases and not three phases.
But if it is a computer with three plugs, it cannot be plugged directly into the wall.
You have to bring an adapter or a small breakout strip.
(See "Thai_" for details. Oh haha) Shooting equipment Canon 5Dmark3, iphone6plus Air tickets Nanjing-Chiang Mai, Bangkok-Nanjing round-trip air tickets were all booked on Ctrip. It is not very cheap, but it is more convenient.
Book Chiang Mai-Bangkok on the AirAsia official website.
If you have too much luggage, please purchase it in advance and check it in.
Language: Thai and English are mainly popular in Thailand.
Because there are many Chinese tourists coming to Thailand, there are also some places that provide Chinese services.
Basically, as long as you can speak simple English, you’ll be fine!
If not, you can download an app: Travel Translator, which is very useful.
Due to the influence of the tropical monsoon, the weather in Thailand can be divided into three seasons throughout the year: March to May has the highest temperature, with an average of 32 to 38 degrees Celsius, which is called the "hot season" and the air is dry.
From June to the end of October, this is the "rainy season".
85% of the annual rainfall is concentrated in the rainy season, and the average monthly temperature is around 27 or 8.
But the rainy season in Thailand has its own unique aspect, that is, the rain will be concentrated at a certain period of the day.
It will be cool today after this rain.
From November to February of the following year, after the rainy season, Thailand ushered in the best season of the year, a "cool season" with an average temperature of 19 to 26 degrees Celsius.
Although it is called "cool season", the temperature is not low.
So the best travel season in Thailand is actually not very different.
All seasons of the year can be said to be tourist seasons, because Thailand gives us different feelings at different times.
Local Transportation 1. Tuk Tuk (Tuk Tuk) Tuk Tuk is very common in Thailand and feels a bit like a tricycle.
Every driver decorates his or her car in an interesting way.
The price will be more expensive and can be negotiated based on distance.
2. Before getting into the taxi, ask the driver "by the meter".
), if the driver agrees to dial the meter to get on the bus and sees that the driver does not press the meter after getting on the bus, he should decisively choose to get off.
If there is no traffic jam, it is very convenient to get a tax. Two cars are common means of transportation in Chiang Mai.
The red car has no fixed route and stops at once.
The starting price is 20 baht per person, and the fare increases according to the distance.
Sometimes, the driver will wait until the seats are full and can accommodate 10 people.
The three yellow, blue and green cars have relatively fixed routes.
Generally, 40 baht is enough in the ancient city, and 80-100 baht is generally used in places not too far around.
Generally, it is 20 baht per person in urban areas.
Let me give you a reference.
4. Rent a motorcycle We only rented motorcycles in Bai County.
Most of the scenic spots in Bai County are located in the suburbs, a certain distance from the city center, and famous hotels are also located outside the city, so renting a motorcycle as a means of transportation is the best choice.
You can go to AyaService to rent a motorcycle, which is a relatively large-scale motorcycle rental place.
We rented a motorcycle for 140 baht/day.
You need to sign a passport.
If you don’t want to sign your passport, you can sign a copy of your passport for an additional fee of 2,000 baht.
Chengdu is a city that people don't want to leave when they come: the internet celebrity panda, Dujiangyan, a world cultural heritage, the colorful Sichuan opera changing face,
