What should I pay attention to when I go to Phuket in February?

1. Hotels in Phuket generally don't have toiletries. Please bring your own toiletries and slippers.

2. Please put your money, passport and expensive items in the safe provided in your room, because once your belongings are lost, it is difficult to get them back.

3. If you carry a lot of electronic products (such as computers, DC, DV), it is recommended to bring a wiring board and a universal socket (round-headed), which is convenient for charging, and the memory card and battery of digital products must be sufficient.

4. It is suggested that after check-in, the waiter should empty everything in the small bar to avoid disputes during checkout.

5. Patong Beach is the most lively place in Phuket, and the traffic in Patong Beach is mainly TUK-TUK cars, which are similar to TAXI, but the price should be discussed before getting on the bus. Generally, a car can accommodate six people, and the location on the beach is 2B/ person, but two people take a car, and the driver needs 1B, so we can talk about 8B. Go to Lotus Lotus in Phuket Town, the asking price is 3B, and you can pay it back to 22-25B b. Go to the Central Festival (the largest shopping center) in Phuket Town, and you can take the bus (2B/ person) or take the TUK-TUK bus, which is about 3B, and you can make a counter-offer.

6. Tipping is popular in Thailand, generally 2B/ time. If the bellboy helps you with your luggage, or someone takes pictures for you (such as riding an elephant or kayaking), it is recommended to tip. When dining in a restaurant, if the restaurant charges a service fee, you don't have to tip, so it is necessary to bring some 2B denomination money with you.

7. There are small banks in Phuket that can exchange money, USD: THK = 1: 37.5-38, RMB:THK=1:4, so it's better to exchange dollars for Thai baht, and it's better to change a little after getting off the plane. When leaving Phuket, the airport construction fee was 5B/ person.

8. Phang Nga Bay is mainly to see 2B/ Island, mainly taking photos and photography, and there is a boating event, Canoeing, in which two people row a canoe for 45 minutes, and it shuttles between karst caves similar to Guilin.

9. Safari has two-in-one, three-in-one, four-in-one and even six-in-one, which is a necessary project for group trips. In fact, it is worthwhile to ride an elephant, followed by watching and feeding monkeys, and others include riding an ox cart, tapping rubber and picking coconuts by monkeys. Each group will have a fixed safari place to play.

1. Fantasea Fantasia Park should be the most expensive of the self-funded projects. It is divided into several aspects. One is mainly for amusement, and some small games, such as shooting, looping and shooting, can play three projects (with joint tickets). One is a large buffet, which can accommodate 3, people at the same time (but usually there are not so many). The taste is not bad, and the meat. The performance is in English and Thai. The content is to tell why elephants are symbols of Thailand. Using multimedia and efficient stunts, the effect is very good, which can't be seen in China, especially when the last 1 elephants come to the stage together, which is magnificent. Photography is not allowed in the theater, so you should send the package, but you will feel that the package delivery office is very reasonable. There are two kinds of seats for the performance, one is the ordinary seat, and the other is the VIP seat or Golden Seat. Please ask the kind of seats when paying. Book Golden Seat plus buffet through local travel agency, the total price is 185B/ person, and if it is a regular seat, it is 17B/ person. There should be a discount for a large number of people.

11. Coral Island and Pipi Island both need to go to sea. There are two ways to go to sea. The speedboat takes about 45 minutes and the slow boat takes about 2 hours. When taking the speedboat, the bow is very exciting, but those who are seasick should never sit. It is unbearable for ordinary people to bump for 45 minutes, and there is no sun protection. A slow boat is also good. If it is a new boat, the seating conditions are good, and free snacks and mineral water are provided. When I went, Coral Island took a speedboat and Pipi Island took a slow boat. There are seasickness pills on the slow boat, but you should prepare some yourself first, especially by speedboat. It is recommended that everyone take 1-2 pills of seasickness pills. There will be a place to rent a Fin (webbed Fin) on the dock. The function of Fin is to prevent sea urchins from stinging and to facilitate walking on the beach. But in fact, snorkeling won't step on sea urchins. It is cumbersome to take the fin with you, and swimming and walking are not used to it. Confirm the trip to the sea. Swimsuits are put on in advance. There is no place to change swimsuits at sea. Women can buy a sarong (no matter how much the price is, the price can be reduced to about 18B) and put it on their bodies. It is beautiful and generous. There are free bath towels in hotels. Don't forget to borrow them when you go out to sea! ! ! Unless confirmed with the tour guide, there are bath towels on board.

12. Snorkeling is the most important activity when going out to sea. Please confirm with the tour guide how many times you snorkel a day, so you can communicate well. Generally, Coral Island can snorkel twice a day, and Pipi Island twice. However, in order to save time for shopping, travel agencies often snorkel once, which is not enjoyable, so you should ask in detail in advance. Please wear a life jacket when snorkeling. It's very safe. The snorkeling equipment is swimming glasses and breathing tubes. The equipment provided on board is a little dirty. It's best to disinfect it with seawater. If the snorkeling equipment is leaking, replace it immediately, otherwise you will be too busy swallowing seawater to take care of the graceful creatures in the sea. The sea water is very salty, so don't panic. The tour guide should have bread to feed the fish. It's better to bring some yourself. It's fun to feed the fish in the sea with bread. The snorkeling time is generally about 3min at a time. When snorkeling, you can see clownfish (nimon of Finding Nemo), corals, sea urchins (black, with long thorns and blinking eyes), and many other fish whose names are unknown. If you are snorkeling for the first time, this feeling will never be forgotten.

13. Pipi Island is claimed by many people to be the most beautiful place, but this kind of beauty requires you to stay there for one night (the room must be a sea view room). Tour groups do come and go in a hurry. If you have time, you must remember to charter a long-tailed boat to go out to sea on Pipi Island (that is, Pipi travels around the island). At that time, there may be only a few of you at sea, and the snorkeling point is also you, not to mention how cool it is. For two people, 1, b, play for 4 hours (please tell the boatman about the time according to the return ticket < P >), provide snorkeling equipment free of charge (generally 1B per person), and bring your own bread and water (remember to bring water when you go out to sea). If you have three hours, it is enough for you to snorkel twice, or snorkel once, and ask the boatman to drive to an island and play on the beach.

14. When going out to play, sun protection is inevitable. Nivea SPF5 is the most commonly used sun protection cream, and it is only useful if the sun protection index is above 4. The supermarkets over there have bought a bottle of 37B (I forgot the specific price), so remember to apply more. Mineral water is very important, especially if you swallow seawater in the sea, you can rinse your mouth. The cheapest is a white bottle, which is quite big. The supermarket is 1B, the tourist spot is 2B, and the restaurant is 4B-6B. When we went to Phang Nga Bay, the boat provided a drink, and when we went to Coral Island, the speedboat provided soda and coke. It's best to ask in advance whether free drinks are provided on the boat every day.

15. The consumption in Phuket is similar to that in Shanghai, which is slightly more expensive. There are many small shops selling clothes, trousers and shoes on the island. My suggestion is to make a counter-offer according to the price of Qipu Road regardless of his offer, and be firm. If you refuse to sell, you will leave.

16. In terms of eating, the taste of Thailand is good, but it is fried a little too hard, especially for fish and lobster (small dragon), which generally live at 25B/ kg, which will only count as 4 kg for you, 2B/ kg for ice, and the food stall can also be counteroffered to 18B/ kg. It is said that there is still 12B/ kg, but I haven't seen it. Crabs are generally 1mb/piece, and fish are almost 2mb/piece. There are several kinds of cooking methods, such as Fried, BBQ and steamed. BBQ is relatively dry, and the taste is relatively light. The lobster is delicious when fried, and the fish is delicious when steamed. There is also the most cashew fried chicken diced, generally 5B-1B/ serving. In fact, some curry rice is also delicious, cheap and good. In terms of drinks, mango and banana taste the best.

17. Speaking of fruits, I think mango is the best (supermarket is 65B/ kg, roadside stall is 2B/ kg, and airport is 6B), followed by litchi, where bananas and pineapples are super cheap, durian is a matter of opinion. However, the fruit in the big supermarket looks outstanding and tastes better than the roadside stalls. The supermarkets in Lotus, BIG C and Central Festival usually close at 9-1 pm, but in town, it seems to be a 45-minute one-way trip to TUK-TUK. Cashew nuts are a specialty of Phuket. I believe that the tour group will definitely take you to the cashew nut factory. The cashew nuts bought in it range from 15b to 2b/bag. In fact, at the airport, the same package is only 13B, let alone in other places. The more delicious snacks in the supermarket are cashew nuts and beans. They all taste good, so you can bring them back as small gifts. Some seafood is spicy, not very delicious, and chocolate is just so-so.
