The price in Thailand is very low, but the scenery in Thailand is still very beautiful. Only when you have been to some scenic spots will you know how beautiful that place is, and only when you go to the seaside will you know the artistic conception of bloom facing the sea and warm in spring. Air tickets and visas

There is no direct flight to Krabi in the city where the landlord lives, and there is no low-cost airline to Bangkok. In addition, the itinerary is booked in a hurry, so after simply comparing the quotations of Thai Airways official website, Feizhu and Ctrip, we booked a connecting flight from Thai Airways Bangkok to Krabi in Ctrip. Although there is no price advantage, the amount of free luggage is 3 kg (yes, it is not wrong, it is kg). The luggage is directly hung from the place of departure to the destination, and there is no need to take it out and check it when transferring. Plus, the reasonable transfer time is 2 hours for the journey and 3 hours for the return journey. It can be said that this is also a good choice for the troublesome friends.

The Thai government has a visa-free fee policy before the end of August this year, so all major travel agencies have introduced Thai visas with special prices as low as 1 yuan. The landlord chose a reputable agent in Feizhu to apply for a visa in advance. The materials are very simple, and the passport and photos are enough. The fee is visa fee 1 yuan plus courier fee 12 yuan. Hotel

After the air ticket visa was basically fixed, the landlord began to pay attention to hotel prices on agoda\booking\hotels, and special prices appeared about two or three weeks before the trip. In terms of hotel selection, the landlord not only hoped that the accommodation conditions would not be too bad, but also disliked the stereotyped modern-style star-rated hotels, and finally chose these two hotels based on their geographical location and price.

1. PeaceLagunaResort

Because Krabi planned to take part in more sightseeing projects, he chose to live in the bustling Onan. VogueResort and Spa were the first alternatives, but when he made a reservation, he found a special price of this one in agoda. Although it was slightly more expensive, the overall environment and breakfast were much better, so he made a decisive change. When I checked in, because it was the off-season, the hotel also took the initiative to upgrade the room, from SuperiorRoom to SuperiorCottage, that is, from a single building to a separate cabin, and the quality of the room was not improved by a little bit. This hotel is the main commercial street in Onan from the gate, which takes about 1 minutes to walk to the beach and less than 5 minutes from another small door. There are three swimming pools in the hotel, all of which are equipped with children's pools, which can meet the requirements of families with children to soak in the hotel. Buffet breakfast is rich in varieties, ranging from western-style bread and coffee salad to Muslim fried rice and stir-fried dishes. There is also free afternoon tea at four o'clock in the afternoon, providing simple fruit and bread drinks.

In addition, there is an off-season package in the hotel official website, which includes free room upgrade, free airport transfer, free tour items, free seafood dinner, spa discount, etc. On the basis of the official price of the hotel, friends who don't want to contact an agent for transfer or tour items can go and have a look.

Alama Ocean Resort

Alama Ocean Resort

2. Alama Ocean Resort Lanta

This hotel is almost at the southernmost tip of Lanta Island, which is in the same area as Pimalai, a super five-star hotel on the island. Although the hotel itself is on the mountainside, it is only a 1-minute walk to Kantiang Beach. Although there are few restaurants nearby, there are some, especially in the off-season.

SuiteCottage is recommended, which is a two-story independent cabin with hammock and couch on the downstairs platform. It's not too comfortable to lie in the hammock when it rains outside. The higher the room, the clearer you can see the sea view. The disadvantage is that it is very hard to climb up and down every day, especially when the landlord checks in to catch up with the hotel staff for a holiday, and there is no strong labor to help carry the luggage. Breakfast is a form of ordering food, including western-style fried eggs, toast, egg cakes and fried rice and fried noodles. Although there are few options, it can meet the demand, and the weight is definitely quite large, as well as pre-meal fruits.

because it's too far from the pier, if you want to book a minivan from Krabi and send it directly to the hotel, the general agent will ask for an extra fee, about 3B per person. You can also contact the hotel to ask for a pick-up from the pier. There is a free policy in the off-season, but you need to communicate with the hotel yourself. Thai baht and calling card

The exchange rate of small currency in China is usually not good, and it is necessary to make an appointment with the bank in advance to get cash, so the landlord is used to taking US dollar cash out and exchanging foreign currency when he gets there. The landlord paid attention to the exchange rates of Bangkok Airport, Krabi Airport, Onan and Lanta, among which the exchange rates of Bangkok Airport, whether USD or RMB against Thai baht, were the worst. Krabi airport has the best exchange rate, especially the exchange rate of RMB against Thai baht, which is basically the same as that of USD against Thai baht. The exchange rate in Onan is similar to that in Krabi Airport. The exchange rate of Lanta dollar against Thai baht is slightly worse than that in Krabi but also better than that in Bangkok airport, but the exchange rate of RMB against Thai baht is worse.

To sum up briefly, if students fly directly to Krabi, they can go out with RMB with confidence, and there are many exchange points at the airport or Aonan Beach. If you want to go to Lanta, you can try to change enough Thai baht in Krabi and bring some dollars just in case. If you transfer in Bangkok, you can use Huaxia Card ATM to withdraw cash or change less baht to eat at the airport.

Whether in Krabi or Lanta, cash payment is the first choice. Convenience stores have WeChat or Alipay payment channels, but there will be a minimum payment. In Krabi's shops, Watsons, boots and other places with large consumption, visa is accepted for credit card consumption, while some merchants in Lanta will charge 3% more for credit card consumption (the landlord only saw the tips posted by the store and didn't carefully study how to charge)

The landlord didn't find a place to sell telephone cards in the transfer area of Bangkok Airport, but there is an AIS store in Krabi Airport, and the shop assistants all hold Chinese shopping guides, so there are different days of package choices 1.5G Because I read the raiders before that AIS has a better signal on the island, and the landlord's demand for mobile Internet access is to send and receive WeChat, check maps and restaurants, and I don't plan to play games or watch videos, so I bought a card directly in the store, and the clerk helped to set up and activate the mobile phone card. One-day tour of Krabi

AoThalane

1. Canoeing +ATV

kayaking at Krabi's sea includes three places: Hong Island, Aothalane and BorThor. The trip of Hong Island is usually combined with jumping on the four islands or snorkeling. BorThor is characterized by caves and prehistoric murals, and most of them are one-day trips. The AoThalane chosen by the landlord mainly walks through mangroves, with only half a day's journey, which is not very demanding on physical strength.

Most of the canoeing in AoThalane, Joeri, is connected by riding an elephant, but with the enthusiastic help of the agent, the landlord finally realized canoeing for half a day, lunch and an hour of ATV. The whole quotation is only half of that given by the hotel agent, and the biggest difference should be that the hotel agent's pick-up and drop-off are minivan, while the landlord takes a two-car modified by a pickup truck.

2. Jungle Crossing

The most famous jungle crossing should be in Chiang Mai, but the landlord has no plans to go to Chiang Mai in the short term, so he has to play the basic version in Krabi first. Among the three jungle crossings in Krabi, the Treetop chosen by the landlord is not mentioned much in other travel notes. The main feature is that the whole project is built in a primitive tropical jungle, which has a very original ecological feeling, and there are two zipline with a length of 15 meters and 2 meters respectively.

the whole package has only one price, including four difficulties, among which the third difficulty has the largest number of zipline, about six, and the longest two are among them. The fourth difficulty is more about the requirement of physical arm strength, even if it can't be completed, there is no great regret.

3. Rock climbing

The landlord's friends have always had a soft spot for rock climbing, but in fact they have never even been to the rock climbing hall, and the landlord is very yearning for Riley Beach in Guilin. As a novice with zero foundation, the small partner hesitated and finally chose a half-day rock climbing project. The agent also kindly promised to let the landlord take a boat to Riley for free.

The half-day rock climbing project provides free equipment from head to toe, and there will be simple basic teaching. There are four routes to try in one day, and the one-day project also includes a 1-meter downhill. Please look at the single page for details.

Although the buddy successfully completed only one route, he was still full of sense of accomplishment. This experience of climbing cliffs with his bare hands under full security protection is very rare. The landlord took photos on the beach and went into the water to chat with foreign friends, which was also very fulfilling. In addition, because of the rock cover, whether it rains or insolates, it will have no effect. One-day tour of Lanta

1. Snorkeling in Nai Island

The best beach in this trip is KoNgai in Nai Island, which is not inferior to the sacks with clear water and white sand. If the landlord has not booked the hotel for the whole journey, he will almost have the impulse to stay in Nai Island for one day. The one-day tour includes speedboat round trip, two snorkeling, a lunch, snorkeling equipment, life jackets, fruits and drinks and so on. The crew are very friendly. For the guests who want to snorkel with limited level, the crew also takes out lifebuoys for everyone to hold and then pushes them forward.

On the way back, the speedboat deliberately bypassed Talabeng Island and fed monkeys in the mangrove forest, which was the highlight of this trip. For the landlord, the snorkeling environment is very general. When snorkeling for the second time in the afternoon, the underwater clarity is obviously not as good as that in the morning. However, under the guidance of the crew, I still saw some rare marine creatures such as starfish and clown fish.

2. canoeing on talabeng island

the little friend got seasick seriously, so the deep diving planned by the landlord had to be abandoned because of the two-hour voyage on Pipi Island, and the landlord who had spent two days drying salted fish on Kantiang beach went to participate in canoeing for a half-day tour. Take a long-tailed boat from the dock of the ecological farm, first board an uninhabited island that will be flooded at any time to take photos, and then go to Talabeng Island for canoeing and rowing around the island. On the way, I landed in a tidal cave and swam in the shallow water between the two islands. On the return trip, I fed the monkeys again in the mangrove forest.

3. Lanta National Park

Strictly speaking, it is not a one-day tour project, because the landlord and friends look too unreliable, and the hotel and agent are unwilling to rent motorcycles to us, so they have to charter a double car. Facts have proved that this section of the road is indeed safer by car, and because the driver is kind enough to wait a little longer, the landlord not only completed the two tasks of watching monkeys and taking photos with the lighthouse here, but also walked through the naturetrail in the park completely, a simple version of the tropical jungle crossing.

4. Kantian Beach

Kantian

Bay is undoubtedly the largest and most beautiful beach on Lanta Island. It is very suitable for walking and taking photos at low tide in the evening, and there are many hermit crabs of all sizes running with beautiful shells on their backs in the Woods. The sand is fine in texture, and there are only some reefs at the end of the beach. You don't have to worry about stepping on your feet when you jump in the sea at high tide during the day. The only drawback is that there is almost no shade to hide on the beach. If you bring children to play in the sand, remember to bring a hotel umbrella. Agent

Krabi's agent is at the intersection of the hotel. The landlord originally wanted to find more shops to compare prices. As a result, the elder sister was super enthusiastic. She found that there was no canoe and ATV that the landlord wanted in the package of the publicity page on the display shelf, and immediately opened the thick information book for comparison, and then began to call for inquiry. After the landlord said that the quotation of TreeTop was slightly higher, he readily accepted the reference price found by the landlord in Taobao. When the landlord came to book a round trip to Lanta minivan, he also took out a big bag of dried bananas and gave them to the landlord. As for the situation that the landlord needed to add money because the hotel was too far away, she took the initiative to contact Lanta Hotel to confirm the pick-up and drop-off, and finally helped the landlord solve the free return trip from the hotel to the dock.

Lanta's agent is on the only way from the hotel to the beach, and there is Chinese on the signboard. You can't miss it. The acting sister's name is Sarah. She lived in Shenzhen for some time, so she can speak a little Chinese, and her pronunciation is very standard. She also has WeChat to add friends. Because it is the off-season, only three agents near Kantiang Beach open their doors to do business. One of them has a worrying English level, and the other store is next to 711 on the main road, which is in a good location, but it actually communicates with Sarah's store. When the landlord consulted, the clerk directly called Sarah, which made the landlord very embarrassed. However, when Sarah went back to her own store to talk about the specific itinerary, she didn't wait for the landlord to bargain, but she directly gave a 2% discount on the quotation on the leaflet page. Later, the landlord secretly inquired with the group members who traveled together, and they basically booked the original price or 1% discount from the hotel.

The most intimate thing for the landlord is that one day I went to the beach and talked to Sarah's shop, and mentioned that there were really no fresh restaurants nearby to eat. As a result, she held out a mango cheesecake, which she said she had bought for herself by passing by Rawi (one of the five-star hotels on the island) today, but now she wants to give it to the landlord. Two days later, when chatting on WeChat, she invited the landlord to her shop to eat durian. Although she didn't eat durian in the end, she gave the landlord a piece of cheese cake.

Although they didn't ask for anything at all, the landlord who took a bag of dried bananas and two cakes is here to help them make an advertisement seriously. As long as you are not a student whose English is not good at all, you don't have to hurry to book a one-day tour of Krabi or Lanta in China. You can find an agent when you get there, and you will have more choices and more laughter. Shopping

There is a small storefront selling souvenirs in Aonan Beach. If you have a tight schedule and don't have time to go to the night market in Krabi Town, you can walk here and buy some small gifts. The price is more expensive than that in the night market, but at least you save the fare, and it is definitely cheaper than buying at the airport.

The night market in Krabi Town is not particularly worth visiting, but the VogueDepartment, a department store next to it, can take a turn. There is a small supermarket, and the prices of things are generally lower than those of convenience stores in Nan, as well as Boots, Watsons, Wagoner, Triumph, Lee and so on.

The last day of the landlord's flight took off late, so I went to TescoLotus near the airport on my way back from Lanta. On the first floor, there is a food court, Boots and Watsons. On the second floor, there is a big supermarket. Some cosmetics are on sale, and there are many snacks in large packages.

The shopping area of Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok is very large. Students who have not been able to buy in buy buy before can seize the last chance here. Although the price is not very beautiful, the packaging is exquisite and suitable for buying and sending to the boss.
