Some problems in traveling to phuket.

Clothing:

1, Phuket can wear light summer clothes all year round, and you can bring a thin coat to avoid catching a cold due to too large temperature difference in the morning and evening or too low air conditioning in air-conditioned rooms and cars.

2. When entering a formal occasion, don't wear inappropriate clothes such as slippers, shorts, skirts and sleeveless tops. Please carry them carefully.

3. When going to the seaside, please bring your bathing suit, swimming cap, goggles, swimming ring, shoes that can fetch water, etc. According to your own needs.

4. To go to the jungle with many mosquitoes, you need to wear long clothes and trousers. Please bring them.

5, shoes should be light and fit, suitable for walking, do not wear new shoes, high heels.

Suitable for swimming, Phuket is humid and hot all year round, with an average annual temperature of about 27℃, and the rainy season is from May to 10 every year. Need to bring some waterproof sunscreen.

The diet is mainly Thai food, which forms a delicate balance between spicy, salty, sweet and sour, and has a strong taste.

Scenic spots include pp Island, Badong Beach, Kalong and Kata Beach.

Shopping: Phuket is the region with the largest tin mine production in Thailand, and all kinds of tin products are popular, including vases, wine vessels and ornaments.

Shopping tax rebate:

1. Tourists can ask for a refund of 7% VAT when they buy goods in Phuket. On the same day, after purchasing the goods marked "VAT refund for tourists" in the same store and spending more than 2,000 baht, you can fill out an application form for tourist tax refund with your passport and print the original tax voucher on the shopping day. According to the total amount of goods applying for tax refund under the same passport, if the goods are returned by airport tax refund or bank draft or bank card transfer, a handling fee of 65,438+000 baht and bill transfer fee will be charged.

2. After arriving at the airport, go to the VAT refund office, go through the exit formalities normally after stamping, and then show your passport and tax refund form at the tax refund counter in the departure hall. If you buy valuables such as jewelry and watches, you must also show the purchased goods when you receive the tax refund, so you should take this into account when you check your luggage before.

Cash and bank cards:

1. Domestic banks in China can exchange Thai baht, but as Thai baht is not an international currency, it cannot be exchanged at any time, so please call the bank for advice before exchange. Generally, RMB can be converted into US dollars before going abroad, and then converted into Thai baht locally. Please call the customer service telephones of major banks for advice on how to exchange RMB. Please exchange RMB as soon as possible.

2. China Customs stipulates that each person can carry up to 20,000 yuan or the equivalent of 5,000 US dollars in foreign currency, so the currency exchanged is enough.

3. When shopping in Phuket, UnionPay, MasterCard and VISA cards can be used in large stores. I suggest you deposit your money in the card. The situation is different for different banks and cards. Please consult the issuing bank about how to use the bank card in Phuket.

4. Reference exchange rate (subject to real-time bank quotation)

1 USD is about 6.78 RMB, 1 USD is about 32. 15 baht.

1 RMB is about 0. 15 USD, 100 baht is about 3. 1 1 USD.
