Is it expensive to go to Phuket if you go to Thailand?

It should be a shopping group. Please read carefully whether there are no self-funded items and no shopping/shopping in the group. Or ask the travel agency. However, this price is generally a shopping group, and more than 3500 is safer. You want more than 2000 round-trip tickets. And room and board. How can travel agencies make money without shopping and taking kickbacks?

I just got back from Phuket, so I have the right to speak ~ I'm traveling with a group and traveling independently. I'm in Bangkok, please make a detour! Long, but comprehensive!

Let me make it clear from several aspects. I hope that friends who are ready to get rid of donkeys will pay attention. The last suggestion is very important. Oh, hey!

Electoral college:

I went with the group, which is convenient and worry-free. The tour cost is 4200+, and the Krabi-Phuket tour lasts for 8 days and 6 nights. Note that many groups are six days and four nights, seven days and five nights, and so on. Generally, the flight with the group is from 23: 00 to 3: 00 in the morning. (Travel agency chartered flight is cheap), so it's all one day. Only when it says "X Night" is your real play time. Because the plane takes two days to go back and forth! Back to the topic, most tour groups are now put together by several travel agencies. For example, our tour group has three different travel agencies, but the leader, itinerary and hotel are all the same. The point is that many people in our group have different prices. For example, I reported 4200, one reported 4500 and the other reported 4800. But the itinerary is the same, okay? The same journey, different prices. I hope you can compare different travel agencies. Because it is normal for individual travelers to make up the group. But the quotations of different travel agencies will be different.

Price difference:

The travel agencies mentioned above have different prices. If we quote a high price together, we will feel a loss and find a friend to deal with it. The price of each travel agency is different, which is nothing more than a question of how much to earn. Personal experience feels that the price level mainly depends on the following points:

1. Hotel (There is no international star standard for hotels in Thailand, only the international five-star is different from the local five-star. Be sure to check the evaluation and photos of the arranged hotel online before making a decision.

2. Itinerary arrangement (most of the itineraries are the same, mainly depending on whether the arranged time is tight. If you are short of money, you will be in a hurry. If you have no time to play, go to the next place. It is best to travel freely one day. Convenient for everyone to shop)

3. Compulsory shopping (there are cheap online games with a price of more than 1 1,000 yuan, and shopping is needed. Thailand is a tourist country, and many shopping spots are opened by the royal family. Therefore, it is basically the same for travel agencies and tour groups to take shopping spots. Such as snake medicine, rubber pillow, gem center, Buddha card, etc. Be sure to find out whether the reported group is forced to shop and whether there are other expenses. Low-priced groups may require compulsory shopping. )

4. Do you have your own expenses? (The delegation will indicate whether you pay at your own expense, because many projects in Phuket have fees. Some groups will include all the tickets for scenic spots, while others will write at their own expense. Of course, deep diving, paragliding, speedboats and motorboats like Blue Diamond Island need to be paid at their own expense. )

Basic items:

Camera/mobile phone: (What a beautiful scenery! No matter how you shoot)

Sunscreen is more than 50 times: (very important, it is best to buy a good spray in China. It was just replenished by 7- 1 1 convenience store, and sprayed every two hours. )

Mosquito spray (mosquitoes and gecko drops are everywhere in the tropics)

Shorts, short-sleeved sandals, bikinis: (Thailand is a tropical country, and the temperature is between 35 and 45 all the year round, so long-sleeved trousers will die of heat)

Snorkeling snorkel, glasses, snorkeling shoes: (I used to rent it, but I brought my own clean ones, mainly because I can snorkel freely at other times except during the trip. )

Toothpaste toothbrush: (Thai hotels don't have toothpaste toothbrushes, so you must bring them)

Thai baht: (If you change Thai baht in China, the exchange rate is different every day. If you are optimistic, you can go to China Bank to get your ID card and make an appointment to change it. 2000 is enough. If it is not enough, you can get it from the purple ATM in Thailand. It is taken at the exchange rate of the day, and you can charge 50 baht. You can swipe your card when shopping. )

Small change: (Thailand is a tipping country, staying in hotels and taking boats is mostly for consumption, 20 baht, equivalent to about RMB 3~4. I don't remember giving it, which reflects the general situation of Chinese people. The tour guide will also emphasize when to give it. It is enough for two people to change 20 denominations 100 RMB. There is too much change to change RMB in China! )

Pickled mustard tuber/Laoganma: (Before I went, I said that this stuff was not eaten in China, and I didn't bring it at all. I thought I used to eat seafood every day. Who knows that every meal arranged by all groups is fixed and tastes bad? I just know the value of mustard tuber, godmother! Moreover, many tastes are not quite the same as the domestic Dongyin Court we imagined, so it's better to bring two bags just in case).

About shopping/shopping attractions:

The price in Thailand is not very high, but when it comes to products, L 'Oreal /CD/ Nivea/Red Bull /Reeves /lee are very cheap. Others are not as cheap as Hong Kong. Two shopping centers are worth visiting: Central Shopping Center and Jiangxi Cold Shopping Center (there are few cold cosmetics in Jiangxi, and beautiful women have to go to the Central Shopping Center to buy cosmetics, I mean the shopping center in Phuket).

Most of the trips have shopping attractions, and it is inevitable that they will buy them with the group. Suggest moderation, because when you go to the supermarket for free travel, you will find that the same thing has such a big price difference! So you know.

A shemale/adult show/bar /XXX

The shemale is a characteristic of Thailand. Take a photo with 100 pigs and touch 50 pigs. Many cosmetics counters also have transvestites, and it is normal for transvestites to engage in various industries in Thailand.

Pornography is allowed in Thailand, so adult programs are also one of Thailand's characteristics, and they are all voluntary and self-funded. I suggest you go and have a look. Many people feel embarrassed. I used to find many handsome guys and beautiful women watching (hahaha …). After reading it, the author can only say "take good care of my little brother and sister in the future"!

The bar is very distinctive: recommend Tiger Bar, a street behind the cold shopping area in Jiangxi, where you can have a drink or two! The streets are full of foreigners!

XXX: Many men used to have fun, which was allowed in Thailand. Bars and streets are full of soliciting, and of course there are "golden cats", about 2000~3000, but according to the tour guide, the battle will be over in three minutes! hahaha

note:

The traffic in Thailand is opposite to that in China. Pay attention to the traffic when crossing the road, but Thais are very polite. When you see a pedestrian crossing the road, you stop and don't whistle. It is impolite to whistle in Thailand. Thailand is a Buddhist country, and almost every family worships Buddha statues. Remember not to point with your finger, it's disrespectful. There are photos of the reigning emperor everywhere. Don't point fingers. Never touch a child's head. In Thailand, only parents are allowed to touch a child's head. Thailand rarely loses things, and Buddhist countries impose heavy penalties on theft. Many homes are not closed and motorcycles are not locked. ) Wear knee skirts or trousers when you go to the temple, and shoes that don't leak your toes show respect!

Language:

What if many people can't speak English? In fact, in the past, it was found that most people who went to Thailand were from China. You can see Chinese characters everywhere in Thailand, China products (since I found a shop where I can brush WeChat and Alipay-OMG), and Thai people who can speak a few simple Putonghua, you can handle a few simple English. You must know how to say haha in the toilet. Especially in large shopping malls and cosmetics counters, you can basically speak simple Chinese.

Final suggestion:

The tour guide will take them to the shopping spot, and many people ask if they want to buy it. Personally, if you have money, you can be willful. In fact, after returning to China, I found that Taobao basically has it. The fruit is great. You can eat durian, mango and so on. And seafood, local popsicles. But be careful not to spoil your stomach. Coconuts are cold, so just drink one every day. 7- 1 1 Convenience Store Thailand has many cheap products. Around Red Bull 2 yuan, seaweed is delicious, and fast food jiaozi is delicious, with good local conditions and customs. The recommended islands are: Lover's Beach, Blue Diamond Island, Big PP and Small PP. Since it is a tour, just relax, don't care about small money, don't spend a lot of money, don't sleep in the car, stop to pee and take photos of scenic spots. Have fun in the past, learn more about local characteristics, ask more questions, observe more, communicate more, and visit more scenic spots. Happiness is the most important thing! Let's go as a big country and return with civilized quality! The scenery is so beautiful, enjoy the beach, sunshine and bikini! It's written in detail. If you don't understand, you can join a group and communicate again: 1482043 19~

Finally, just playing, but in the mood to take away!
