Thailand self-help tour guide

Thailand has many tourist attractions. Phuket and Bayati are famous. Of course, the shemale is the most famous one. However, Thailand is a Buddhist country. It is a pity to go to Thailand without experiencing the ancestral temple culture of Chiang Rai. The raiders have been presented to everyone.

First stop: Chiang Rai

Chiang Rai is the northernmost city in Thailand, adjacent to Myanmar and Laos.

Among many cities in Thailand, it is also my favorite place.

The natural landscape and ancestral temple culture there are very good, and the folk customs are simple, not as commercialized as Phuket in Bangkok. I suggest you set aside 2-3 days to play.

After our flight arrived in Chiang Mai, we checked our luggage at the airport and went directly to Chiang Rai. (Airport luggage storage fee 200 baht =40 yuan RMB)

The coach station is about 20 minutes' drive from the airport. You can take the green bus.

Many online raiders will advise you to book tickets at Greenbus official website, and then get on the bus directly with the printed e-ticket. However, it is quite convenient to buy tickets on the spot. It should be noted that the ticket office and the bus station are not in the same place, and the distance between them is 15 minutes.

The following is the timetable and price list of Greenbus for your reference.

(Green bus Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai ticket: 129 baht =25 RMB)

It takes about 3 hours to drive, and most of them take Panshan Highway. Please bring your own carsickness medicine.

The bus stops at the White Temple along the way, and you don't need tickets to visit the White Temple.

This is the famous White Temple, pure, symbolizing "life and tolerance", just like a delicate art treasure.

There is a "Naihe Bridge" in the main hall leading to the White Temple, where thousands of hands waving for help are vividly reproduced.

It is said that the fallen soul in hell is waiting for redemption, and it also warns the world to do good, so that the afterlife will not fall into hell.

There is also a long corridor on one side of the White Temple, which is the wishing pool and the wishing pool.

There is also a magnificent building-toilet. It is said that this is the toilet that everyone in the world likes to take pictures with.

White Temple: Free visit.

Opening hours: 8:00- 17:00( 16:30)

Pants should be knee-high and sleeveless.

You can't take pictures in the temple. You need to take off your shoes.

In the evening, we went to Chiang Rai Night Market, where there are Saturday market and Sunday market.

There are also various strings, fried rice with shrimp sauce and fried chicken.

Not far from the night market, there is the Ming Lai Wang Monument.

Night market: 17:00-23:00

Each snack is only 20-30 baht =4-6 RMB.

How much per capita depends on your appetite.

In the evening, we stayed at Naraka Resort, which is similar to a youth hostel.

You need to do your own DIY for breakfast, but the transportation is very convenient.

It's only 5 minutes' walk from Chiang Rai Bus Station not far from Chiang Rai Night Market.

The point is that it is very cheap! Only 1 10 RMB per night!

The owner's English is also good, and he can help order motorcycles.

Attached is a map of Chiang Rai for your reference.

Motorcycle rental (24 hours) oil fee:

50 baht to 300 baht =50-60 RMB.

The schedule for the next day can be said to be full.

Riding a scooter, we walked all the way to the Black Temple, which is not a temple, but a museum.

Thai ghost artist Thawan Duchanee took 36 years to complete.

There are a large number of exhibits about death and hell, which are integrated into various works of art through modern artistic techniques.

The black temple is completely different from the white temple, which shows the difference between heaven and hell.

Opening hours of Black Temple Museum: 09:00- 12:00, 13:00- 17:00.

Admission: 80 baht = 16 RMB.

Then, we rode a scooter to Wat Hyuaplakang.

I still don't know the Chinese name of that place. All I know is that there is a strong incense there, and there is a place similar to the White Temple under repair. There are also free vegetarian meals there.

Along the way, we visited the newly renovated blue temple, and Wat Ban Den is also a place not to be missed.

It may be that the interior decoration is named after a touch of blue, which seems to be a relatively small place at present.

Wathyaplakang can visit for free.

Visit the Blue Temple for free.

Speaking of Chiang Rai, in addition to these must-see temples, there are many amazing attractions, such as Sinha Farm and Waterfalls.

So I suggest staying a few more days and having fun.

Second stop: Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai, this is a place where you can see temples as long as you walk along the street.

Chiang Mai, this is a place where you can see temples as long as you walk along the street.

At the first stop, we chose the legendary Chiang Mai University Town, where many Thai politicians graduated.

At the entrance of Chiang Mai University, you will see many double buses to Ssangyong Temple in Sutieshan.

Originally, I read the online guide that I could choose two cars, because the mountain road is too curved and it is not convenient to drive in rainy days.

But out of the adventurous spirit of young people, we still choose scooters to go up the mountain.

The road up the mountain is expected to take half an hour by car, which is really full of twists and turns.

Along the way, you can also see monks walking on foot and backpackers struggling to ride bicycles.

If you choose a motorcycle to go up the mountain, you should really pay attention to the speed. The ramp is still steep, with many sharp turns.

Accidentally rushed into another lane.

Something happened along the way, and our scooter ran out of gas.

So we had to run to the small town on the mountain and look for oil everywhere. Fortunately, it's worth it. Finally, we bought two bottles of gasoline.

Go down the mountain safely.

One of the must-see places on Tieshu Mountain is Shuanglong Temple, and the biggest feeling is its majestic momentum!

You can take one passage and walk around the tower three times. You can see the local lighting ceremony.

Here, you can also write your blessings on the ruins. These blessed tiles will cover the roof.

Tickets for Sushan Shuanglong Temple: 30 baht =6 RMB.

Exposed people are not allowed to enter, and they need to take off their shoes and enter the temple.

In the afternoon, we went to the "Internet Celebrity Grand Canyon"-Chiang Mai Grand Canyon, and we can see many photos of Internet celebrity bikinis on Instagram.

This canyon is15m high and 50m deep. Even if you can swim, it is recommended to wear a life jacket.

When we went there, there were not many water sports, and the most was "high platform diving". Get up the courage to try "diving in the middle platform" and find that it still takes courage!

On the day we went there, we didn't meet any tourists from China. Foreigners sunbathe everywhere.

There are also "jumping off the cliff" in succession.

Tickets for Chiang Mai Grand Canyon: 50 baht = 10 RMB.

This day's trip can be summarized as "running around", and the next day's trip will be much more enjoyable.

We chose to go to the ancient city of Chiang Mai and experience the petty bourgeoisie of Manning Road.

The ancient city of Chiang Mai, a walking place, can see the temples along the street while walking.

Attached is a map of the ancient city of Chiang Mai.

The yellow square circle is the ancient city wall.

Xing Temple, Dragon Palace, Neanderthals and Tapimen are must-see places, and massage in women's prison is also worth a visit.

I also found an interesting scene on the roadside, and I was in a good mood when I saw it!

This is a group of lifelike statues of young monks with different expressions.

Tired, there are many ice cream shops on the roadside to rest.

On Manning Road, we also found a shop called Wish Coffee, which has the same name as me and looks like my own shop. We especially like its Wifi password: h@ppywish.

Speaking of Thailand, many people may choose Koh Samui in Phuket, while others will choose Bangkok and Pattaya.

But I like Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai in northern Thailand best. You can experience both Buddhist culture and natural beauty.

Diving/scuba diving in Thailand

Here, Anna recommends three islands suitable for diving in Thailand:

Emperor island

Emperor Island is located in the south of Phuket, which can be reached by speedboat for 30 minutes. It used to be the exclusive holiday island of the Thai royal family.

Bangkok Flight Experience Center

"Fly if you can."

Is it often said by friends? In Thailand, taking you by plane is not a problem!

Put on the pilot's uniform (pay attention to the pilot's uniform) and sit in the captain's position (pay attention to the captain's position). Flying in the sky is no longer a dream.

Address: bangrak, sibunroang building, Bangkok,/kloc-0 1contrd.silom

Price: 4350 baht (about HKD 1 175 USD) /30 minutes.

Watch the shemale show

As mentioned earlier, the shemale in Thailand is another eye-catching place besides the luxurious nightlife.

The shemale is a highlight of Thailand's tourism industry, and the shemale performance is a must-see program when traveling to Thailand.

Where can I see a shemale performance in Thailand?

1) Bangkok shemale performance

2) Pattaya's Tiffany Show

3) Simon show, Simon shemale show in Phuket.

Hint—

In Thailand, if you take a photo with a shemale, you must push the extra shemale away.

When taking a photo with the transvestite you selected, other transvestites will take the opportunity to stand next to you. Be sure to refuse or stop it, otherwise it will cost two people. (I don't say ta to ordinary people)

Speaking of going to Thailand, elephants definitely have fewer observers than bicycles ~

In the movie Fantasy Forest, the elephant is the symbol of the forest scepter. They dug ditches with ivory, and this became a forest.

If you really want to have a close contact with elephants, you can touch their heads or long noses while bathing them. Interaction is the most fun experience.

: Thai food show time

2. Mango glutinous rice

3. Thai green papaya salad

4. Sour and hot seafood soup

Ladies and gentlemen, please wipe your saliva ~ more Thai food, only some can be sent to taste slowly ~

In addition, the traffic situation in Thailand is different from that in China. Remember to be proficient in Thailand, otherwise it may be too embarrassing ~

1. In Thailand, the left-hand drive system is adopted. When driving in Thailand, be sure to stay in the left lane (the car is on the right).

2. The unique and common means of transportation in Thailand is called Tutuk-tuk, which looks like a domestic tricycle with "taxi" written on the front, as common as a domestic taxi.

3. Traffic congestion in Bangkok. If you go to Bangkok, I'm sorry to tell you that the traffic jam is no less than that in Beijing, and Bangkok is known as the "second traffic jam in the world"!

There is also the entry and exit of Thailand. You should pay attention. Before arriving at the airport, fill in the customs declaration form, and declare that the amount of foreign currency brought into the country should not exceed 50,000 baht, otherwise you may be arrested, prosecuted or confiscated for exceeding the amount (Anna thinks that everything related to money is a life event).

Now the big thing is coming. What if the mobile phone is dead and swollen?

The sockets in Thailand are American-style two-hole or three hole socket's, and the domestic ones are two-hole flat plugs, so the domestic mobile phone chargers can't be directly charged, and they need plug converters to work normally.

Therefore, tourists from China should remember to prepare the converter before going to Thailand, otherwise the mobile phone will be miserable if it can't be charged (unless you live in the power station in the charging treasure ~).

When all this is understood, then take TA and TA with money and go to the ancient kingdom of Siam to experience the Thai childlike innocence.
