1 Thailand Accommodation Issues

Thailand has about 50,000 guest rooms. Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Koh Samui all have modern and top-notch hotels. There are many luxury hotels in the territory, such as Hilton, Holiday Inn, Mandarin, Shangri-La, etc. The famous "Bangkok Oriental Hotel" has been rated as one of the world's top ten famous tourist hotels for many years in a row for its high-quality services.

There are also many informal hotels in Thailand that are relatively cheap, mostly clean and quiet, and generally well-equipped, such as university guest houses, family hotels, villa areas, inns, floating homes, guest houses, and motels. , simple and clean Chinese-style inns and hotels, as well as seaside cabins, etc., provide a variety of accommodation options, with prices ranging from tens of baht per day to hundreds of baht per night.

Both dining and laundry services in the hotel are 24 hours a day. When staying in a hotel, it is best to store valuables in the hotel safe. When using your own electrical appliances, check the voltage first (the general voltage in Thailand is 220 volts, but there are some places where it is 110 volts)

Every year except December to March and late July to August, It is the off-season for Thai hotels, so you can enjoy discounts of 20%-30%. In addition, most hotels in Thailand are subject to an additional 7%-10% government tax and 10% service tax. However, hotels with actual prices include taxes and service charges when charging.

Thailand Accommodation Tips

Thailand’s accommodation industry is world-class and enjoys a high reputation internationally. This is of course inseparable from its own conditions. High-quality services, exquisite interior furnishings, and relatively low prices compared with hotels of the same level are all reasons why accommodation in Thailand has long been popular. In Guesthouses all over Thailand, tourists can stay in a clean double room with a toilet and shower room for only 400 baht. And those rooms priced above 1,000 baht can be called luxury (the room is equipped with a refrigerator, cable TV, balcony, swimming pool, etc.).

The room rates of high-end hotels in Thailand are generally above 2,500 baht. Most of these hotels have business centers and conference centers, restaurants offering delicacies from different countries, and 24-hour cafes. Shopping malls with elegant environment, etc. Getting Started with Accommodation Booking hotels in Thailand is basically oversupplied and there is no need to book at other times except the peak season of November-2. However, high-end hotels in tourist destinations such as Pattaya, Phuket, and Samed Island still require reservations in advance.

In addition to the above-mentioned peak seasons, there are also periods such as the Chinese New Year when Thai Chinese take a long vacation, the Songkran Festival from April 11 to 13, the Golden Week in May and the Obon Festival in August when Japanese tourists flock in large numbers. This is also a period when accommodation is more crowded and reservations are required. During other periods, tourists don’t have to worry about not being able to stay in a hotel. Tourists who plan to stay in a cheap guest house from the beginning do not need to make a reservation. If tourists who book guest houses for less than 1,000 baht are not believed, they can just check in directly.

2 Route question

Route 1: Anyone who has been to Thailand must have visited Bangkok. For self-guided travelers, this is a place that must be revisited to feel the rhythm of the city. For Bangkok’s traditional classic tourist projects, such as the Grand Buddha Temple, the Grand Palace, and night cruises on the Mekong River, you can choose to look at them according to your personal needs. However, if this is not your first time visiting Bangkok, it is recommended to focus on experiencing the atmosphere and culture of the city. Nightlife is an important part of Bangkok. Shopping in Patpong Night Street is a popular activity for many tourists. Remember to bargain hard when buying things here, just half or 30% off. Bars are one of the windows to experience a city’s culture. It is not recommended to go to bars near night streets. The bar with the most locals and foreign tourists is in Bar Street ROCHADA, where you can drink beer outdoors, listen to singers singing English songs, and have a carefree night. For self-travelers in Bangkok, the real shopping excitement is at the flea markets. Southeast Asia route design experts recommend that self-guided travelers to Bangkok visit Bangkok on Saturday or Sunday, because the local flea market CHATUCHAKE is only open on these two days. It would be a big pity not to come here. This is a treasure hunting paradise loved by locals, especially young people. It is also a place that tour groups will not reach. The flea market is very large, with handicrafts, clothing, furniture, etc. all available. This is a place to discover surprises. In addition to finding unique and charming items, you can also feel the aesthetic taste of the locals. .

Intimate Tips:

Transportation: It is recommended to choose a taxi when visiting Bangkok. Car rental is not expensive. It takes about half an hour to go from the city to the flea market, which is equivalent to about 25 to 30 yuan in RMB. You can also take the local SkyTrain (a form of transportation suspended in the air) to major shopping spots in the city.

Entertainment: Try Thai massage, authentic SPA, or go to LUMPINI to watch a Muay Thai game.

Language: In Thailand, English is generally spoken, but taxi drivers may not necessarily understand English. It is best to ask the waiter at the hotel to write all the places you want to go in Thai before departure, just in case. To the driver who doesn't understand English.

Line 2: The Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai lines in northern Thailand are mountain towns completely different from Bangkok. Chiang Mai is the ancient capital of Thailand and a famous historical and cultural city founded in 1296.

As the capital of the Lanna Dynasty, it was the religious, cultural and commercial center of Thailand until the 16th century, and most of the city walls it built have survived to this day. The city gates at the four corners, the moat flowing around the city, and the stilt-style wooden buildings in northern Thailand are all vivid in my mind. The main attractions in Chiang Mai include Wat Dorothy and the Summer Palace of the King of Thailand.

Chiang Rai (Chiang Rai) is the northernmost capital of Thailand. It is located at the junction of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar. It is the starting point of the famous Golden Triangle. Chiang Rai, a quiet and simple town, is the main gateway to the northern mountains. The rustic mountain villages and the romantic Mekong River constitute the main scenery of Chiang Rai. Most of the ethnic minorities living here migrated to Thailand from Laos, Myanmar, and China over hundreds of years, including the Lisu, Miao, and Akha ethnic groups.

Intimate Tips:

Transportation: You can take a bus directly from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai, which takes about 3 hours. There are also direct buses from Bangkok to Chiang Rai, which takes about 12 hours. In addition, there are also domestic flights arriving in Chiang Rai via Chiang Mai. To explore the Golden Triangle, you can rent a long and narrow boat from Chiang Rai Town and sail slowly along the Mekong River. The pastoral scenery and distant mountains along the way are pleasing to the eye.

With the vigorous promotion of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, tourism has become Thailand's main source of economic income. Tourists can enjoy different forms of tourism in different areas within the country. Among them, transvestite performances in Pattaya, Phuket and other places have become a major industry in Thailand, attracting a large number of people from Asia, Europe and the United States to watch, and creating economic profits of hundreds of millions of dollars for Thailand every year. Thailand has the modern city of Bangkok. The south faces the Gulf of Siam and the Indian Ocean. Many natural beach resorts have been developed. The mountainous areas in the north have a pleasant climate and are suitable for travel.
