1 1 Thailand self-help tour, what should I pay attention to?

1. Passport visa;

You need to make an appointment one day in advance to exchange Thai baht in China Bank. The exchange rate is roughly 1 RMB =5 baht, and the specific exchange rate is subject to the actual exchange. The converted Thai baht is 1000 denomination. Because of its large denomination, you can exchange money at the front desk of the hotel or the nearest store after you arrive in Thailand.

How much Thai baht do you need to change? Before departure, the travel agency told us that you only need to change the change around 500 yuan to pay the tip, and you can use your card in other places. But in fact, the two or three thousand baht we exchanged is not enough, and the places where you use your card are not supported in many places except duty-free shops, such as some small shops and supermarkets you have visited during your trip. It is recommended to exchange at least RMB 65,438+0,000. I believe that your spending on the trip will never be lower than this figure.

3. Articles and liquids (including drinks, toothpaste, cosmetics and other lotions) that cannot be carried on the plane can be checked. Lighters can't be taken on the plane or checked in. Fruit cannot be brought into Thailand.

4. Some five-star hotels in Thailand have no fixed evaluation criteria, and most of them are personal evaluations, which are actually equivalent to domestic three-star hotels, but the internal environment is also very comfortable. Thailand advocates environmental protection and economy. Most hotels do not provide disposable toothpaste, toothbrush and slippers. These items can be taken with you or purchased locally. Slippers are essential when playing on the beach. Remember not to buy slippers at seaside attractions. 20 baht in the store, seaside attractions 100 baht. 4. The weather in Thailand is hot, about 30 degrees, so prepare summer clothes and do a good job of sun protection;

Thailand time is one hour slower than Beijing time. All trips in Thailand are based on Thai time, so pay attention to adjusting the time;

6. The voltage is the same as that in China. Two-pin flat plug can be used directly, and three holes need to be equipped with converters;

7. Mobile phone cards can only be used for international roaming, and GSM can also be used. Happy cards can be bought in China at prices around 55 yuan, 65 yuan and Thailand. Unlimited traffic, telephone charges for a certain period of time. Never use domestic traffic to surf the Internet, it will be very expensive. However, the hotel will provide free wifi. If you don't call or text, you don't need to buy a card. You can play during the day and use wifi at night.

Precautions for going out:

1. The roads in Thailand drive on the left; 2. When you enter Thailand, almost every time you go to a scenic spot, someone will take your picture, and then when you leave the scenic spot, they will sell it to you at 100 baht. Just pick one or two beautiful and meaningful ones, you don't have to buy every attraction;

Thailand is a Buddhist country, and temples and monks can be seen everywhere. When visiting religious sites, you should take off your shoes and hats before entering the temples dedicated to Buddha statues. Please don't enter when there is a religious meeting: as for clothing, wear clean and suitable clothes, sleeveless short-sleeved shirts and shorts skirts. When a lady meets a monk, she should avoid him. Don't touch the monk, even if she touches the clothes. Some scenic spots in the temple will have signs prohibiting taking pictures. Please don't take pictures. Some temples will set up merit boxes and donate resources;

4. Don't point your finger at people or things, for example, it is impolite to point your finger at a portrait and ask who it is. Thais believe that there is a god on everyone's head, so the head is a very important part. Don't touch other people's heads, even children's heads, even if you think it's polite.

5. Take care of your belongings, especially your passport. Losing your passport will be very troublesome. Leave the bus and take valuables with you.

6. Inform the tour leader or group members when traveling at night, don't travel alone, and don't take valuables out;

7. Take a cruise ship speedboat, take seasickness medicine for seasickness, heart disease and other diseases, and don't take the boat head. All personnel put on life jackets and hold on tight. You need to bring shoes to play at the seaside. You can wear them. There will be merchants selling at the seaside, but the price is more expensive.

8. Don't exceed the warning line when playing at the seaside.

Precautions for accommodation:

1. Hotel registration, get a room card, and ask if there is free wifi；;

2. After staying in the room, lock the door, put valuables in the safe, take valuables with you when you go out, and don't put them in the room. At the same time, durian, mango and other fruits should not be brought indoors, sweets will attract insects, and the smell will affect the room occupancy.

Don't swim privately when the hotel swimming pool is not open, and remember not to swim alone. In the case of ensuring safety, landlubbers can take this opportunity to learn to swim. All six landlubbers we traveled with learned to swim.

When you leave the hotel in the morning, remember to tip 20 baht at the bedside, and don't put coins. Coins are generally considered to be for beggars and will be considered as disrespect to others. Thailand is a tipping country, tipping is a kind of etiquette! Generally speaking, tipping is required in the following places:

1. Leave the hotel in the morning and leave 20 baht;

2. Ancient massage can be given flexibly according to the service quality or professional level of the masseur, about 50~ 100 baht;

3. Every time you ride a horse in the jungle, pay the elephant trainer 20 baht;

4. Horse-drawn carriage tour on Brown Day: Pay the groom 20 baht each time;

5. Take a photo with the shemale for 20 baht each, and take a photo with rose for 400 baht.

6. Baggage tip: One room is reserved for the bellboy Taj 20 yuan.

Shopping precautions:

1. Many friends are going to go shopping in duty-free shops before returning to China. Some well-known cosmetics in Thailand, such as Olay, cigarettes, Lee's jeans and watches, are cheaper than those in China, and friends in need can buy them. These are duty-free. Other souvenirs and food are not duty-free, and you can get rid of a certain percentage of tax if you buy more than 2000 baht. It should be noted that souvenirs and food in duty-free shops are almost as expensive as those in outside shops, and some even reach twice as expensive, so it is recommended to buy souvenirs and snacks if you need them.

2. Only dried fruit snacks can be brought into China, such as durian candy and dried coconut.

3. Duty-free shops need passports and air tickets to buy goods. Cosmetics and cigarettes bought in duty-free shops are not available on the spot. After returning to China for security check, you need to go to the duty-free shop in Thailand airport to collect it with a yellow invoice. Goods purchased in duty-free shops can be taken directly on the plane, and drinks can also be used.

Matters needing attention when returning to China:

1. Each person is limited to bring two packs of cigarettes and a bottle of foreign wine into the country;

2. Fruit and meat cannot be brought into China;

3. The local tour guide said that the handling fee of 100 baht was deducted every time the airport refunded the tax, but many people didn't refund the tax, and actually no handling fee was deducted.

The above are some precautions for traveling to Thailand, hoping to help more people and have a good time in Thailand.
