Do you have a free travel guide to Phuket, Thailand?

1. certificate

Passport: To buy things in Phuket (mainly shopping centers or specialty stores), you need to use your passport to apply for tourist discount cards and go through tax refund procedures. You don't need to provide a passport if you don't buy it. Remember to ensure that the passport is valid for more than six months, and remember to sign on the back cover.

ID card: it is mainly used for domestic transit (take it with you just in case), and it is recommended to make two copies for later use;

Copy of passport home page and visa page: it is recommended to make two copies, one for you to carry with you and one for the hotel safe. Need to mortgage your passport to rent a car, and try to discuss with the owner to change it into a copy;

Photos:/kloc-2 for 0/inch and 2 for 2/inch (white background), which is convenient for replacement of lost documents.

Credit card and debit card (dual-currency card): Debit card is used to withdraw Thai baht from ATM and take the UnionPay channel. Credit cards can be used in large shopping centers, but it is generally recommended not to use credit cards, which are more likely to be stolen. (UnionPay cards starting with 62 can enjoy corresponding discounts at airport duty-free shops, while other credit cards have no special discounts. )

Certificate confirmed by the hotel: generally, you will receive an email from the hotel before departure to make a reservation through the network or agent. It is recommended to print 2 copies and the hotel will ask for it when you check in.

Electronic insurance policy: 2 copies

Visa: The price of landing visa in Thailand is 1 1,000 baht per person, which is about RMB 200 yuan (Thailand had a short-term visa-free period before, and the fees will be resumed after the situation improved. Anyway, as of 2016,2065438, the visa-free measures between Thailand and Thailand are still under negotiation), provide passports, fill out visa application forms, take two-inch photos on a white background, and return air tickets. At present, you need to show 2W baht (5000 RMB) or equivalent travel expenses (this is in case you come to wash your passport).

This is the landing visa counter for landing visas. If it's finished, you'll line up at the customs on the right.

Although landing visa is very convenient, if you don't want to queue up at the immigration office (it takes about 10-30min), you can also apply in China in advance. Searching for keywords on Taobao will bring out a lot of Thai visas. Just pick a few that you think are reliable and send them to you. The cost is probably 250 yuan.

Entry and exit card: it will be provided by the flight attendant on the plane. Remember to ask for it. (You can also fill it out in the place where you run landing visa, but it's too much trouble. I suggest you fill it out in advance. )

You must fill in a * * * triplicate and take the entry card with you when you go through customs. The exit card must be kept, and it is necessary to stay in the hotel and leave the country!

Drugs: cold medicine, antidiarrheal medicine, eye drops, mosquito repellent, band-aid, essential balm, and fruit guide tablets.

Daily necessities:

Sunscreen (SPF & gt50): It is recommended to bring your own bottle first. Although it is convenient to buy sunscreen locally and the price is cheaper than that in China, there is still a process for you to get familiar with it when you are new here. You can take a carry-on bag and make it up locally. (7- 1 1 can be seen everywhere, and sunscreen and after-sun care products are available at home. )

Toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, shower gel and conditioner: budget hotels usually do not provide toothpaste and toothbrush, but only shower gel. It is recommended to bring your own travel clothes for one week.

Others: cosmetics, hydrating masks, towels, sunglasses, umbrellas, swimsuits, clothes (preferably with a long suit and trousers), various waterproof bags, snorkeling supplies, pens, notebooks, plastic bags, razors for men.

Electrical class

Camera: SLR, card (with camera waterproof bag), waterproof camera;

There is no need for mobile phone (ipad), various chargers, spare batteries, charging treasure and plug converter (domestic charging equipment can use two sockets in the hotel unless three sockets are needed).

Data class

Introduction: Sort out useful information and print it out;

Travel itinerary: roughly plan the route for reference;

List of items to buy: it is best to indicate the domestic price for comparison. (More people in Phuket Duty Free Shop buy L 'Oreal skin care products, which are much cheaper than those in China. If there is demand, you can do your homework in advance and compare prices. )

Electronic translation dictionary/translation software: only for people with poor English;

APP: I especially recommend an APP called Travel Translator, which provides English and Thai translation. It is very reliable. It is also recommended to download various travel guide apps for more detailed information and experience sharing.

Foreign currency

Make an appointment with China Bank at least one day in advance to exchange money, preferably in small change (the local exchange rate in Thailand is about 4.8-4.9, and Master or UnionPay card can withdraw cash at any time. ATM machines are all over the street, and banks with different charges are different. It is recommended to consult before going out. )

Remarks: Huaxia Bank is advised to apply for a debit card, and the first cash withdrawal every day is free.

A small amount of Thai baht can be exchanged at the airport exit. Usually the exchange rate at the airport is relatively low, around 4.7.

Phone card/phone card

If you think it is too expensive to start roaming, you can change your calling card locally.

There are three mobile companies in Thailand: 1-2CALL\TRUEMOVE\HAPPY.

You can get a TRUEMOVE card at the airport exit for free (it takes 7- 1 1 to recharge a card, buy an empty card, 300B, or 60 RMB, which is enough for one week).

One-way charge for Happy Card is 199 baht, including 50 baht, or 49 baht, including 15 baht. (with Chinese explanation)

Plan of Phuket Airport

Two. good

About air tickets: We all know about low-cost airlines, such as AirAsia, Tiger Airways and Su Hang Airlines, not to mention. There are many strategies on the Internet. After official website registered as a member, she would receive promotional information about preferential air tickets from time to time. I suggest you pay close attention to them from time to time. China Southern Airlines and Air China will also have irregular special prices. For example, a few years ago, they bought a round-trip tax-included ticket for Wuhan-(transit) Guangzhou-Sabah for 399 yuan/person (China Southern Airlines). Therefore, AirAsia is not always the cheapest. Opportunities are only for those who are prepared ~

In addition, it is also recommended to pay attention to the following Weibo Qunar. com. These websites often recommend ideal airline tickets and hotel information.

The package of this trip comes from the cabbage price recommended by JourneyCA: Wuhan-Phuket round-trip air ticket including tax+five nights' accommodation at Ibis Padang Hotel in Phuket = 1999 yuan (Beijing Mai Tu Travel Agency).

Departure: 20 14.06.08 Thailand Eastern Airlines chartered flight OX 677 15: 50- 19: 40.

Return flight: 20 14.06. 13 Thailand Eastern Airlines chartered flight OX 676 09: 50- 15: 00.

Note: Going to Thailand in May and June is the off-season of the whole year, which is basically the lowest price. Before departure, I even saw a special round-trip ticket with tax of 666 yuan (the end of the ticket is suitable for people who have the opportunity to miss the trip at any time).

About picking up and dropping off

It is best for the hotel to have pick-up service, otherwise it is recommended to book pick-up service online in advance.

On the first day of this trip, I lived in Badong, and chose Phuket, which is very famous on the Internet, to walk home (there are also many pick-up services for you to choose from on Taobao). 89 yuan picked me up and 89 yuan saw me off (there are Chinese signs waiting at the airport exit).

In addition, don't worry if you don't book the bus in advance. When you get off the plane at Phuket Airport, there are two ways to get to Patong Beach.

1, mini bus, 180B (RMB 36 yuan) No matter how late it is, don't worry. Tell him your hotel name and address, and the mini bus will be delivered to the hotel.

2. If you come out of the airport and charter a bus to Badong Beach, it's about 160 RMB. If there are many people, you can rent a van.

About tourism in Phuket

1, tutu (sudden car): From 100B, he is good at killing people. Don't sit around, it's the most expensive at night; It takes 300B to Kalon150 b-200 b to get to the south of Kata; From Badong Beach to Jiangxi Cold Shopping Center, the asking price is 200B (RMB 40 yuan).

2. Self-rental: general motorcycle 250B/ day, car 1000B- 1400B/ day (note that Thailand drives on the left and the driver's seat is on the right. Refueling is everywhere, 50B/ bottle), it may be cheaper to rent a car in your own hotel. Pay attention to safety, the Thai police are very strict, and someone is checking in the street. Moreover, the scenic spots are basically on the Panshan Mountain, and the mountain road is steep, so you can do what you can. (You don't need a deposit and certificate to rent a car in a hotel, but you need to mortgage your passport and pay a certain deposit at other car rental points.)

Note: Those who are bolder can consider renting their own car (Note: China driver's license is not recognized in Thailand, so it will be found to be a matter of luck). It will still be much more convenient to see the scenic spots on the island, which is more cost-effective and more free than the local group tour. (There are basically no tickets for scenic spots in Phuket)

3. Bus: Phuket Town, Badong, wave to get on the bus, 25B/ person, about 45 minutes; Badong, Phuket Town: 30-minute bus, 20B/ person. There are also buses to Kata and Kalong in Phuket. We haven't been to this trip, so we can't give more detailed information. )
