Advice on traveling to Thailand Things to note when traveling to Thailand

Thailand is now a very, very popular scenic spot. The scenery is indeed beautiful and the prices are relatively cheap, but there are also many things to pay attention to. This article will tell you what you need to pay attention to. . Things to note when traveling in Thailand

1. There are all kinds of hotels available when booking, a cheap youth hostel costs 50-100 yuan, and an expensive resort costs 1,000 yuan. After making the reservation, be sure to print out the map location of the hotel on paper. There are many taxis and tuktuks in Thailand that don’t understand English. Showing him the map directly will save a lot of trouble.

2. Exchange 1 yuan = 5 baht. It is recommended to exchange for 100,000 baht at any domestic bank. When you arrive in Thailand, don’t go to the airport to exchange money. If you need money, just withdraw it directly from an ATM. Most of the ATMs I’ve seen in Thailand support UnionPay, and the handling fees are very small and can be ignored.

3. All drinks in Thailand are served with ice by default, a glass full of ice. If you don’t need it, please tell me in advance: noice

4. There are few illegal shops in Thailand, I have never seen them, so you can go directly in for massage in almost all hotels and bars, no need to worry.

5. It’s very important. You basically have to take off your shoes when entering a temple in Thailand. You must wear pants that go past the knees. You can wear pants or skirts, but they must go past the knees! You can wear T-shirts, but you can’t show your shoulders and head! I suggest girls buy a gauze scarf, which only costs 20 yuan.

6. You can tip or not, there are no hard and fast rules, it all depends on your preference. Restaurants charge 1/10 of the amount, and hotels only give you 20-50 baht depending on the price. You can put it next to your pillow before going out in the morning. After tipping, Thai people will thank you very much and bow to you.

7. Sunscreen, mosquito repellent, and conversion plug. About Phuket

Phuket is almost on the equator. It is known as a poor version of the Maldives. It is still worth visiting because Phuket is so big. The island is all mountainous, and the uphill and downhill slopes are still very dangerous. If you have nothing to do, try to choose one or two beaches to play. The beaches are mainly concentrated on the west side of the island, facing the Indian Ocean.

If you like to go to Kamala Beach and Patong Beach for liveliness, they are all Chinese and give you a homey feel. They are suitable for eating barbecue stalls and visiting night markets, but they are also very low-end.

If you like to go to Kata and Karon beaches for peace and quiet, there are more Japanese people, they are clean and quiet, and there are many music bars, which are suitable for killing time. For example, this old boss may have incurred a lot of debt in the United States, so he came to Thailand to take refuge and spend his remaining years in peace. I think Brother Shou is getting old, maybe that’s it.

Don’t go to Phuket Town. It’s the same as China’s third-tier towns. It’s a large rural area without anything interesting. Unless you are traveling in depth, it is not recommended to go.

There is a Chalong Temple which is pretty good. It is recommended to visit it. You can book a minibus at the tourist reception desk near the hotel.

After getting off the plane, buy a phone card with Thailand Turemove (Thailand Mobile). The 3G internet card has decent internet speed. If you don’t need money, just get a monthly subscription. The phone and internet charges are not expensive.

Don’t take the bus if you don’t need money after getting off the plane. Just call the taxi driver’s address. 600 baht to Patong Beach is acceptable, and 800 baht to Kata Beach is acceptable. Any higher will be a scam for you. . (2013 level)

Thailand restaurants are all like that, basically Thai food, Indian food, and barbecue, so if you want to eat what you want, just go in wherever there are more people. If you have high food requirements and want to eat live and fresh seafood, you can go to the fish market near Jungceylon in the downtown area of ??Patong Beach to buy it. After buying it, you can find a restaurant nearby to process it yourself. It is very cheap and fun. If you are rich and lazy, just eat in the hotel. The level of chefs in the hotel is much higher than outside, and the price is X2.

A home-cooked meal, including pineapple rice, tom yum soup, salad, and fried potato chips, costs less than 100 yuan. It tastes so good, and it has more ingredients than domestic ones.

The lobster in the fish market is probably less than 1,700 baht, less than 200 yuan. I don’t know if I can eat it at this price in China. This shrimp is so big, it may be longer than Guo Jingming when stretched out.
