Compared with China, Thailand's consumption is still relatively low, but if you don't save, the excess expenditure will be terrible. All kinds of entertainment projects in Thailand need to be charged, and food and beautiful scenery also need to be spent, which depends on how you arrange your itinerary and consumption reasonably.
Now I'm going to record my travels for the first time abroad!
I have been busy for my life and my family since I was in my thirties, and I have never relaxed for myself. Today, I finally made up my mind to go abroad bravely and have a rest alone!
This time, it was due to the visa-free fee in Thailand, so I decided to go to Thailand as the first stop. I got a visa in August, and I didn't like joining a group, so I decided to travel independently! For me, who has almost forgotten English, challenge my IQ!
the nature of this trip: poor travel, I only take 5 baht plus a credit card to go out.
I arrived at Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok, Thailand at 2:48 local time. 3 hours and 3 minutes all the way, very smooth! I, an illiterate, successfully found a place to take the bus, got on the airport bus and officially headed for downtown Bangkok!
When the plane slowly descends over Bangkok, looking at the lights below, I think of my daughter who stayed at home. Does she miss me now? ! Bangkok is the largest and most prosperous city in Thailand. Seen from the sky at night, it is so big, brightly lit and neatly planned, and it is a very prosperous metropolis.
Exit 6 of Don Mueang Airport is the stop of the airport bus. You can take the airport bus from here to various subway transfer points in Bangkok or another airport.
I take bus A1 to MOCHIT
station of BTS, and I'm going to transfer to chong
nonsi station (where my youth travel service lives).
along the way, I need to take the airport bus to BTS twice, which is so tortuous, hehe, but this is the mode of willful poor travel! The airport bus fare is 3 baht, which is about 6 yuan when converted into RMB, which is super cheap.
Every new journey is a new life. I can escape from all the identities attached to me in the world, devote myself to a strange city with a brand-new mind and body, and feel life in a brand-new environment!
I turned around and found my youth hostel: That summer, I wanted to say that this youth hostel was in the depths of a rich area, and it was really hard to find it without a map. Here I would like to praise Google Maps, which is really easy to use and has a good real-time effect.
through Google, I found my residence smoothly. This youth tour should be said to be the worst of all the youth tours I have ever stayed in. It should be said that it is not a youth tour, but only a family hotel. The room is relatively simple, with marks on the bedding. The bathroom is super small and simple, but the room is relatively large.
well, I'll only stay for two nights, so bear with it. Of course, this one also has its advantages. It will send you a detailed explanation of the route on WeChat the night before you check in, and you will answer any questions patiently. Moreover, the manager here is from China, and there is no problem in communication at all. Moreover, it is not far from the most concentrated shopping district in Bangkok, and it is only three stops away from the subway.
that's why I gave up staying in a hotel and chose this place. it's very intimate. Speaking of BTS in Bangkok, similar to our domestic light rail, the fare is not cheap, just tens of baht.
Today, I went to my place from Don Mueang Airport, and the transportation cost was 72 baht, which is about RMB 15 yuan. Take bus A1 from the airport to MoChit (Meng Qi Station) for 3 baht, and then take BTS to Chong
Nonsi (Zhongnaxi Station) for 42 baht.
The bus map of Don Mueang Airport, and the subway ticket of BTS.
The sunshine in Bangkok, Thailand is really strong, so sunny! I really didn't have the courage to go outdoors to bask in the sun yesterday, so I walked around the SAIM business circle one day yesterday, where the shopping mall was connected with the shopping mall, and I basically didn't have to go out for a long time.
It's convenient for the BTS in Bangkok to get here, but the ticket price of the BTS in Bangkok is really a bit expensive. I only have two stops from my place of residence to SAIM, which costs 25 baht, and only a few stops from SAIM Station to Riverside Night Market, which actually costs 37 baht, which is close to 8 yuan when converted into RMB.
I visited saim
center,saimpargion, and a shopping mall opposite it
and BIG.C
It's basically a shopping mall with many famous brands. The price is not cheap. The shopping mall is very design-oriented, and it's quite comfortable to spend a day in it. Every shopping mall has many restaurants to choose from.
The saim
center above is basically a high-end shopping mall similar to the International Plaza, and then the M.B.K I visited is more interesting. It is similar to the type of selling goods. There is a shopping mall and a small shop in it, and the price is more people-friendly, but I think there are not many local Thai products in it, and most of them are products specially designed to greet tourists. You can come and have a look if you are interested. There are also many discounts in the shopping malls, and men's wear is not bad.
Then, I went to BIG.C, and heard that this is a place that locals in Bangkok, Thailand also like to visit. BIG.C supermarket is really big, with two floors. Similar to Wal-Mart's model, there are stores, creative stores, specialty stores and foreign trade stores in the whole building. On the first floor, there are men's trousers and jackets for foreign trade, which are super cheap, 1-15 baht each, equivalent to 2-3 yuan. It's made in Vietnam, Thailand and Canada. It's of good quality, not secondhand. I also saw a specialty store selling Bangkok bags. The price is moderate, 4-7 baht for a small bag.
BIG.C is a good place. On the first floor, there is levi's exclusive discount store. There are many jeans, and the price is between 1,8 and 2,8 baht. There are also beautiful Disney children's shoes and children's clothes, which are not expensive.
speaking of shopping, let's talk about food. I arrived in saim early yesterday morning, and then I bought something to eat in 711. This banana milk is delicious, only 12.5 baht. And this chocolate cake, 2 baht, which is equivalent to 4 yuan RMB, is also delicious.
then I bought this juice soda at the BIG.C supermarket at noon. It's not bad, too. It's orange juice. It's also in 2 yuan RMB. I had lunch in the food city on the 4th floor there. This fried rice is 5 baht, which is equivalent to 1 yuan RMB, and it has meat. Unfortunately, I don't eat meat, which is wasted and tastes ok.
After playing there until the evening, I decided to visit the Asiatique Night Market, which is the night market with the Ferris wheel. Specifically, you can take the BTS to Saphan
Tsksin Station, then walk to the pier by Chao Phraya River and take the free shattle
boat. Of course, there is also a boat that needs to buy tickets to go to the night market at that pier, depending on your own choice. It is only 3 baht for one person to buy tickets. I took a free boat, and the queue was fast. The riverside night market was really beautiful at night. The buildings inside were beautiful, and every restaurant had its own characteristics. I actually saw the town of Lugang in it, hehe. In addition to restaurants, there are many small shops, of course, most of which are tourist souvenirs. Friends who have time can come to see it at night. It is only open at night until 23:.
After coming back from Riverside Night Market, I went back to my hotel to have a rest, and then I went to Papon Night Market near the hotel for a walk. This night market is relatively small and meaningless, so I came back after a walk. After all the sightseeing, let's talk about the first youth tour I stayed in Bangkok. The youth tour I booked is called that
summer. The conditions are really average. Not counting the youth tour, it should be a small hotel. The bathroom is very small and shabby, and the sanitary conditions are average. Fortunately, the room I stayed in is relatively large. It is estimated that I will not stay here next time. Fortunately, I booked it for two nights. The advantage is that the manager is from China, communication is no problem, and the price is cheap, and it will be RMB in 93 yuan for two nights.
I left for Hua Hin early this morning. In other words, the government in Bangkok is really moving the bus stop to Hua Hin to a bus stop as far away as the suburbs. The bus stop is called bangkoksouthernbus
terminal, which is far away from the urban area, and it is not convenient to take a bus, so you can only take a taxi. Speaking of the experience of taking a taxi today, it really surprised me. I stopped a taxi at saim, and when I got on the bus, I found that the driver didn't hit the meter. I asked him to hit the meter, but he didn't. I asked him how much it cost to get to the bus stop. He said 5 baht, and I also, I checked it at the beginning, which was about 16-19 baht. I definitely didn't want to. I said 18 baht, but he didn't agree. I said 25 baht, and I said 2 baht. Well, if you suffer a loss, you can suffer a loss, as long as it is delivered safely. As a result, this fellow took out his mobile phone to shoot me while driving, and he had to be in tune with me. Forget it, and I'm full of praise for my beauty. Why come out alone and say why not find a boyfriend in Bangkok? I said I didn't like it. Please drive well. It's dangerous for you. He kept peeking at me with the rearview mirror and taking pictures of me with his mobile phone. This made me feel a little better.
I'm a little scared by his behavior. I turned on my mobile phone to make my own navigation route to see if he deviated from the route. While contacting my husband on WeChat, I photographed his license plate and sent him my real-time address, and asked him to contact me once in five minutes. If not, I called the China Embassy in Thailand. Is that person still asking me if I'm alone? I quickly said that I had two friends waiting for me at the bus stop. He asked if it was a man or a woman. I said two men. He asked if it was my boyfriend. I said no, it was my two friends who came together in China. Fortunately, I finally arrived at the bus stop safely. I dropped 2 baht and got off the bus quickly. I will never take a taxi in Thailand again next time. Mom, this driver is terrible, pervert! A single lady should not take a taxi. I'm still in broad daylight. It's hard to say at night.
a 2-inch suitcase with a weight of less than 7kg can get on the plane directly. I took Thai AirAsia low-cost airlines.
AliPay and WeChat payment are particularly convenient here.
the visa-free fee before September 1, 217 is gone now. I did it in August. I sent my passport to Beijing and asked the travel agency to handle it. I signed it at sunrise for eight jobs, and the agency fee was 5.8 yuan. The express delivery fee was 2, so that's the fee.
one more thing, if you can solve it yourself, try to solve it yourself in advance. Download a Google map, a translation software, and set out bravely!
It is said that after taking mini
van to Hua Hin today, I successfully found my hotel by using Google Maps. The hotel I booked on Ctrip is really good. The room is very big. I was given a cocktail as soon as I entered the room. The room is clean, warm and very comfortable. There is a balcony, and there is a swimming pool under the balcony, hehe!
Another special feature of this hotel is that there is a shuttle bus to take you to various famous scenic spots in Hua Hin for free, and then an appointment is made to pick you up. This must be praised! !
after check-in, leave for Hua Hin Beach immediately!
The beach in Hua Hin is really comfortable! The sand is very fine, there is not much commercial pollution on the beach, the sky is so blue and the wind is so comfortable! I found a rock alone, which belongs to me, climbed up barefoot and sat down, thinking nothing and doing nothing, just looking at the sky and the sea! !
I looked at him, and he probably found someone watching him. He turned around and looked at me and smiled, and I smiled back! ! After a while, I got up the courage to say to him: CanIcometherewith
you? ;
It's as simple as that. I ran to his big rock and sat side by side with him, watching the sea! ! His name is Ruhr, Thai. He is very introverted and doesn't like to talk much. Before talking to him, I watched him for a long time. He watched the sea and played the guitar quietly!
after a while, he took out his guitar and played a China song for me,: smile:! Later, I played and sang many Thai songs for me ~! We sat side by side, looking at the sea, and a man beside us kept playing guitar and singing to me! ! Life should not be so beautiful! ? Life is full of surprises! ? Although my English is poor and I can't speak Thai, he seems to have average English, haha, but it doesn't prevent us from staying together to watch the sea this afternoon! ! Sing!
musicians! I don't know why I was so lucky to look at the sea and enjoy the music feast all afternoon! Life somewhere tomorrow! ! Thai songs are so nice! ! What a wonderful day!
when I got back to the hotel, I decided to go to the swimming pool to enjoy private service.
It was one of my childhood dreams that I always owned the whole swimming pool by myself, and it finally came true today. Use my dog-planing stroke to have fun, and don't care about other people's eyes.
It's already 7: 3 after swimming. Now, of course, we have to go out for food ~ There is a night market just a few steps away from the hotel, and there is a lot of food in it. The first thing that catches your eye is this: coke cakes! ?
4 baht each. Then I killed a potato tower, and after a fried rice, I wandered back to the hotel with satisfaction and went to the bar on the top floor terrace to sit and watch the stars!
