Is the price in Thailand higher than that in China?

Thailand is the most popular country for tourists from China. It is located in Southeast Asia, bordering the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. Thailand has a long coastline and many natural islands. It is located in the tropics, so the climate is very suitable. This is the latest news about prices in Thailand.

Prices in Thailand really feel quite cheap.

First, air tickets, Thailand AirAsia Chongqing to Bangkok round-trip off-season as long as 700 yuan. Of course, this price needs to be booked several months in advance. This person is the welfare of my freelancer and my wife, a stay-at-home mother. When the children go to primary school, there will be no such price. Summer vacation is basically between 1500-2000, but it is not expensive.

Second, rent a car. We rented a car three times. Rent Toyota yaris for the first time, 65,438+000 RMB per day. The oil price is a little more than 5 yuan, and there is no toll. For the second time and the third time, we rented a Toyota Runner seven-seater SUV, which cost RMB one day in 330 yuan, which was cheaper than that in China.

Third, accommodation is really cheap compared with hotels in Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and Thailand. We stayed in a villa hotel in Koh Samui once, a suite of 300 square meters, 350 yuan RMB, spotless. The picture below shows a golf hotel suite near Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok. The suite area is almost 150 square meters, which is a luxury in Hong Kong and Singapore. Without the same conditions, the price of 10 times or more can't live. In Thailand, except Bangkok, all hotels in 300 yuan with RMB above are very comfortable.

Fourth, eat, if you are not picky about food, a portion of seafood fried rice is 35 baht, RMB 7 yuan money, and you are full. Seafood is open, and a family of three is five or six hundred yuan.

This seafood restaurant is a must-see every time.

The cliff restaurant in Pattaya, with four snacks and two snacks, costs 4500 baht, equivalent to 900 yuan RMB, and a table full of seafood, is full of satisfaction. It's cheaper to eat food stalls in the middle of the night. A big table here costs more than 300 RMB.

Fifth, shopping, Hua Hin Outlets bought a pair of walking shoes, RMB 780, and went back to see a shopping mall in Chongqing for 3000.

Therefore, Thailand is really suitable for holidays. I feel that consumption is cheaper than Sanya, but I must travel freely, and the experience with the group is not necessarily so good. We plan to go to Thailand once a year, especially in winter. It is naive and comfortable to stay there for more than ten years.

If you are interested in internet freelancing and travel, please pay attention to me, which may help you become a reality.

Speaking of prices in Thailand, Lao Liu, who has lived in Thailand for almost ten years, said a few words about his truest feelings!

dietary respect

If you live at home, you usually go to the vegetable market or supermarket to buy ingredients and cook for yourself. The price of local vegetables, fruits, chicken and pork is really not expensive, but in Bangkok, the price of seafood is not necessarily cheaper than that in China, and shrimp and crabs are indeed more expensive than those in coastal cities in China.

As for fruit, July and August are the best seasons to eat mangosteen, rambutan and durian. Mangosteen costs about 8- 10 yuan per kilogram, rambutan costs about 4-6 yuan per kilogram, and durian with golden pillow costs about 24 yuan per kilogram, which is quite cheap! But local apples, watermelons, strawberries, dates, pears and oranges are sometimes more expensive than domestic ones, because some of them are imported!

In Thailand, street food is usually 6- 10 yuan. Popular tourist areas may be a little more expensive, although the price is cheap, but the quantity is not large, such as pork hand rice, barbecued pork rice and Hainan chicken rice, which are all famous street snacks in Thailand. Young people in our country usually have to eat two or three servings to get full.

If you go to a restaurant to taste delicious food, the price is generally clearly marked, and 50 yuan per capita is enough! The shabushi revolving sushi buffet hotpot in the shopping center is less than RMB per person in 80 yuan, including sushi, drinks, chicken, pork and beef, and seafood. Limited time 1 hour 20 minutes, fresh ingredients, delicious shabu-shabu hot pot! Self-help in local shopping malls is mostly around 100 yuan, with barbecues and shabu shabu shabu, which is still worth a try. It is suggested that before choosing a restaurant, go to the public to comment on the food, or look at the comments on the travel website. If you don't know an unfamiliar restaurant, you'd better not go easily.

As for Chinese food, the Chinese restaurant in Thailand is a word "expensive"! Lao Liu ate a bowl of beef noodles from 50 yuan and a plate of fish-flavored shredded pork from 60 yuan here. The taste is not flattering, but the price is quite embarrassing! If you are not used to Thai food, you can go to 7- 1 1 convenience store. There are many delicious foods. Hamburgers, hot dogs, mixed rice and pasta are all within RMB 10, which is not expensive!

In addition, KFC in Thailand is cheap, McDonald's is not expensive, and the food has new tricks. The fried chicken rice in KFC, plus an unlimited refill of iced coke, is only 65 baht, which is about RMB 13 yuan, which is really great value. McDonald's 49 baht (about RMB 10 yuan) hamburgers with drinks or desserts are even more valuable. Friends who travel back to Thailand can feel Uncle Ken and Uncle Mai here!

residence

Accommodation in Thailand is high, medium and low, ranging from youth hostels with tens of yuan to five-star hotels with thousands of yuan! Take Bangkok as an example. Three-star hotels are generally around 200-300 RMB, and four-star hotels are generally around 400-500 RMB. If you are lucky, you can get about 300 RMB in the off-season, and there are many five-star hotels with 600-700 RMB. Hotel prices are related to geographical location, room type, old and new, etc. It is recommended to book a hotel online in advance, which is much cheaper than the retail price! In the alleys of Kau Shan Road in Bangkok, Pattaya Beach in Phuket and Pattaya Beach Avenue, hotels in 200 yuan and 300 yuan are not difficult to find, and their locations are still lively and convenient to travel. The price in Chiang Mai is cheaper, and a good homestay is big!

Traffic aspect

Bangkok has all the local buses, BTS, MRT, airport lines, trains, minibuses, taxis and boats, so it is very convenient to travel, but there are many people, cars and traffic jams. It is also convenient to take a taxi. The starting price is 35 baht (about RMB 9 yuan), about 2 yuan per kilometer. However, in busy areas and scenic spots, it is very common for tourists to take a taxi without hitting their meters!

There are basically no taxis in Phuket, Pattaya and Chiang Mai. Even if there is a taxi, don't hit the meter. They all travel in two cars. If you want to rent two cars, you can negotiate the price yourself. In short, Phuket is the most expensive and Chiang Mai is relatively cheap. If there are many people, it is recommended to rent a Toyota minibus with a driver. The cost of a day is about 500 yuan to 800 yuan, and the oil does not include tips.

attract

Tickets for tourist attractions, performances or day trips can be seen at a glance online. Booking online in advance is much cheaper than buying locally. For example, a one-day tour of Phuket is only around 200 yuan, and the local hotel has booked 2,500 baht (500 yuan).

Tickets for scenic spots in Thailand are generally not expensive. The bigger the scenic spots and internationally recognized scenic spots, the more transparent the price. Those eye-catching emerging attractions and programs specially prepared for tourists are really not cheap and may not be fun to watch.

Shopping.

Shopping depends on what you buy. In terms of food and daily necessities, Thailand's prices are still cheap, and there are many kinds of snacks and the taste is good. The cosmetics in Watsons, BigC supermarkets or Boots are also quite cost-effective, and the promotion of buy one get one free is everywhere.

However, local and international big-name sporting goods, clothing or luxury jewelry bags are not necessarily cheap here. You'd better check the price with your mobile phone before making a decision. Don't forget the 7% tax rebate, but generally it can't reach 7%.

As for digital products, they are cheaper in China. Whether it is mobile phones, cameras, televisions or speakers, Thailand has no price advantage. As for those latex pillows, masks and foot stickers that sell well in China, there are many small shops specializing in selling these goods in every tourist city. You can shop around and choose the one you think is the most reliable.

In short, Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya and Chiang Mai are four popular tourist attractions. If ranked by price, Lao Liu feels that Phuket is the highest, Pattaya is the second, Bangkok is the third and Chiang Mai is the lowest. I don't know if everyone agrees or not.
