What should I pay attention to when traveling to Xinmatai?

Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia all have jewelry shopping spots: Thailand is red and sapphire; Singapore is an emerald; Malaysia is a black gem. It must stand the persuasion of the shopping guide, but it is not recommended to buy it. Because someone in the last group bought rusty Thai jewelry, emeralds are artificially processed natural stones, which is what people in the group told me. \x0d\ Thailand Station: \x0d\ (1) L 'Oré al has set up a factory in Thailand, and the price is two-thirds cheaper than that in China. Facial cleanser only costs 105 baht (because the exchange rate is better, it only costs 2 1 yuan to exchange with UnionPay). \x0d\ Shopping location: The duty-free shop marked King power at Bangkok Airport can save another 50-500 baht if you purchase a certain amount with discount coupons. \x0d\ Shopping time: When Thailand went to Singapore to join the group, there was more than one hour, so there was enough time. \x0d\ (2) Five centipede cough pills, coconut peanut candy and monkey peach Baiyao oil \x0d\ Shopping location: On the way back from Pattaya to Thailand, I passed by the wholesale point of Tute Factory, asking the tour guide to give me more time. The tour group "sings" time. \x0d\ Shopping tip: Thailand's things are the cheapest in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia, so it is important to buy food here first and then tow it away with a trailer. \x0d\ (3) Thai skirts, Thai pants, etc. \x0d\ Shopping location: Golden Sand Island, Pattaya. \x0d\ Shopping tip: Pattaya has a low price, and there are many bargains here. 100 baht for a pair of trousers, 150 baht can be used to make a suit, and can be used as pajamas for relatives and friends in summer. Features: different, cool to wear. If you don't take part in water sports, you will have enough time to buy. \x0d\ (4) Shopping spots in Pattaya: Triumph, Wagner underwear, Tess scarf, and the group time is tight, so I only have time to buy one or two. \x0d\ (5) Shopping centers in Bangkok: Levis and Lee. \x0d\ Tips: If you are very familiar with Bangkok or have friends leading the way in Thailand, and like this kind of brand, go out and buy it yourself on the night of going to Bangkok. \x0d\ (6) Duty-free shop in Thailand airport: BABALLY, Disney watches, Chinese cigarettes and foreign wine are recommended, and some colleagues bought them during the connecting flight. The whole trip passes through Thailand three times, so don't bring it before you start playing that day. For the second time, it took a long time for Thailand to transfer to Singapore, but there are restrictions on taking tobacco and alcohol in Singapore, so you can't buy it. You have to wait until the return trip to buy it. The third time was when I passed the connecting flight, because the connecting flight time was very short. If you want to buy one or two, you must recognize the boarding gate and run the plane when you buy it! \x0d\ Singapore: \x0d\ Tips: In the Thailand-Singapore Malaysia trip, Singapore only has one afternoon and two half-days * * * the next morning. In fact, Singapore is the most suitable for self-demonstration, and not a day is enough. You can buy Qinglong oil here, but you can buy it in Malaysia. If you suggest going to Little India, Orchard Road, Chinatown, Bar Street, etc. It is very distinctive and can only be visited with a group. \x0d\ Malaysia: \x0d\ (1) Tin ware. Royal Selangor. \x0d\ Shopping location: duty-free shop in Malaysia. \x0d\ Tips: Malaysia is a tin producer, and the quality of tin is quite good, so it is a valuable souvenir. Moreover, tin can keep fresh and is beneficial to human body. The above brands were originally produced for the royal family, so they are more expensive. Accept Malaysian ringgit, RMB and VISA cards. The RMB payment exchange rate is about 2.33. It's better than the tour guide's exchange of 2.4, but it's more expensive than UnionPay's 2. 13, but UnionPay is not accepted here, and VISA needs a handling fee. \x0d\ (2) Li Qian Zhuifeng Oil and "Malaysian Ginseng" Dongge Ali. A thousand miles of chasing wind oil, recommended by colleagues. East brother Ali is too expensive, so you can buy it or not. \x0d\ (3) Body Shop. There are both new horses and new horses, and Singapore may not be able to see them because of the tight time. There are two places in Malaysia's itinerary: Genting, before boarding at the airport and the duty-free station. I bought a lip balm made in England, which is delicious. Because the body shop doesn't accept UnionPay and doesn't buy body lotion, it doesn't feel cheap. Wait until Hong Kong to have a look. Only Shanghai has it, but Guangzhou doesn't! Things to prepare for shopping in Singapore: \ x0d \ x0d \ 1, UnionPay card or credit card: To the surprise of many shopping enthusiasts, it is necessary to use UnionPay card, UnionPay card or credit card in Singapore, so as to avoid the trouble of exchange and exchange rate loss. \ x0d \ x0d \ 2。 Large suitcase: don't think that you only need to bring a large suitcase to Hong Kong. There are many good things in Singapore, even a big suitcase may burst. \x0d\\x0d\ 3。 Comfortable and light casual clothes and shoes: Although Singapore is small, there are many places worth visiting. Coupled with the hot climate, people all over the street are comfortable and can wear whatever they want. \x0d\\x0d\ 4。 Sunscreen equipment: Singapore is famous for its pure sky and bright sunshine. Sunscreen and umbrella must be put in the suitcase. \ x0d \ 10 just came back from swimming in Xinmatai, so I won't talk about the new tour. I only went to 1 \x0d\ Malaysia and met a good tour guide. Although I also went shopping, I was very happy and satisfied with my purchase. Although it was only three days, it was very rewarding. On the whole, the price in Malaysia is the cheapest among the three places (it may also be that the tour guides in Thailand are relatively dark. ) I don't have enough t-shirts. I bought 7 small rolls (about 16 RMB) in Malacca and 6 small rolls 12 on the key chain, which are better than those bought in Singapore. \x0d\ Let's focus on how to prevent the trap from moving to Thailand: the Japanese have too many tricks \x0d\ 1. The first is money. I don't know why, but maybe it's difficult for China Group to make money. Although Thailand claims to be the friendliest with China, the RMB exchange rate is the worst there. I got off the plane and looked at the exchange counter on the 1 floor of Pudong Airport. Our exchange rate here is about 1:4.6 (RMB: Thailand), but it is only 1: 3.7 at the Thai airport. Some hotels can go to 1:3.9, and the money changer on the outside road is best at 1:3.92. At the same time, the exchange rate of US dollar in the same place can reach above 1: 35, and the exchange rate of Hong Kong dollar is 1: 4.4 \ x0d \ Conclusion: Although you can swipe your card abroad, you often need to exchange RMB for cash. It is best to bring US dollars (in Thailand, the face value exchange rate of 50, 100 will be slightly higher than that of 5, 10. Thailand is the most outrageous. I suggest that you can change Thai plants in China and travel. \x0d\ 2。 In Thailand, the tour guide only provides RMB exchange service (RMB exchange profit is too high, exceeding 15%). You'd better not touch him, even if he promises to exchange it with or without play, but when you really want to exchange it, he will say that his money is marked and you didn't take it from him. Unless you exchange a lot with him, and only a few of them need to be exchanged with him, I have suffered some losses in this. My brother said that there are coupons for airport shopping, ranging from 2500 to 200, from 5000 to 500. Don't miss this. I'm not sure what to buy, but I have compared it. L 'Oré al cosmetics are indeed the cheapest in Thailand, even cheaper than Hong Kong and Singapore airports 1.5. Don't miss it if you are interested. Other brands are not necessarily. Some even have similar prices in Shanghai, which may be because L 'Oré al is produced in Thailand, while other brands are imported. I wonder if the price in Thailand is rising rapidly. When I went to Phuket three years ago, I thought water sports were very cheap, even cheaper than those in Hainan, and now they are very expensive. I bought 500 banana boats and 350 parachutes in one lap (I bought 6544 in two laps). Jet skis 800, underwater walk 1, 600. I don't know if it is related to the low tour fee and the need for subsidies. Brothers who know the situation can also talk about it. I suspect that the tour guide deliberately led us to expensive places, otherwise it would be difficult to explain that the places our group went to were all other domestic tourists, no foreigners, and no Hong Kong and Taiwan people. We went to the seaside with foreigners, and the tour guide only arranged for us to swim, and told us not to take part in water sports there, on the grounds that the accident was personal and irresponsible. \x0d\ 5。 Thailand's tourism industry is very mature, but the tour guide keeps saying that the price is set by the National Tourism Administration and cannot be discounted. I don't believe this. Brothers who have been there can also post some project quotations for reference: \x0d\ Oriental Princess shemale performance 800 \x0d\ European Carnival Moulin Rouge 800 (the tour guide said that there were too few people to attend, so I was uneasy. X0d\ Show 800 Thai bath models \x0d\ Little Golden Triangle in western Thailand, He Jiong 1800 \ x0d \ 500 thai massage for 2 hours \x0d\ 6. Shopping, what I want to say is that good things are not cheap. Malaysia's Thousand Miles Wind Oil Essence, East Brother Ali, Indian Hair Oil, Indian Tooth Powder, and Royal Selangor Tin Crafts (this is really exquisite, but I don't need it) are all good things, and they are not cheap. On the last day, I bought other tin handicrafts promoted by the tour guide (100 RMB 3) in the car, and I was very satisfied. It was more valuable than that promoted by the Singapore tour guide, but the Thai tour guide didn't push it, but I guess. Personal experience: L 'Oreal in Thailand is the cheapest, and tourist souvenirs and T-shirts in Malaysia are also very cheap. Then duty-free goods are sold in Singapore airport duty-free shops (cosmetics), Hong Kong duty-free shops (especially cigarettes) and airline planes, and some of them are cheaper than Hong Kong duty-free shops. By the way, the price of diamond shops in Malaysia is also good. I don't know about gems, so I didn't buy them, but diamonds are much cheaper than those in Shanghai. A 2-carat diamond (D color, VVS) is quoted at 654.38 yuan +0.2 million yuan, which I can't afford. I only bought a 5,000-dollar diamond necklace (30 cents VS, G color). \ x0d \ x0d \ Well, that's all I want to sum up. After reading it, you may think that I have a preference for Malaysia, so do I. I met a good guide there. I think that although it was only three days, it was the most rewarding trip for me, and I learned a lot about Malaysia. Thailand has the most interesting and delicious food, so everyone should enjoy it. Friends who know English had better travel independently or go to \ x0d \ x0d \ 1 by themselves.

Team meals are generally spinach, tofu, scrambled eggs, fried fish and so on. And their tastes are very different from those in China. It is not recommended that you add meals in the team restaurant.

If you have a shopping desire, please carefully compare the quality, price and origin of the goods before shopping. I suggest you shop carefully. \x0d\ 3。 If you are interested in buying high-grade durable goods, please be sure to ask the store to issue an invoice.
