Things to note when traveling to Thailand with a group

As one of the most popular tourist destinations in China, Thailand is very popular among Chinese people. Thailand is cheap and high-quality, has a rich cultural atmosphere, and is rich in tourist facilities and projects. It is an ideal vacation. Resort, let me share with you a detailed guide to preventing pitfalls.

The most annoying thing about group tours is that you leave early and come back late, and the time to visit attractions is very short. If you visit attractions that take a long time, they must be places that require a lot of buying and consumption. Among them, shopping spots are the most annoying. , latex mattresses, souvenirs, as well as crocodile skins, gems, and duty-free shops should not be considered pitfalls. Basically, you will go to King Power Duty-Free Shop when you go to Thailand.

The most expensive ones should be regarded as marine projects, but you can play if you want, there is no force, there are some other things at your own expense in Pattaya and Phuket, adult shows, transvestite shows, etc. Thai natives will not go People watching, Pattaya Bar Street.

My Thai friends said that when Thai people go to bars, they don’t go to Pattaya Bar Pedestrian Street at all. They are basically places to earn money from foreigners. This is the biggest pitfall. Free travel hotels also have pitfalls. Then There is an ashtray in the smoking room, but if you smoke, there is an unmentioned fine. Many people have been cheated. Tuk-tuks and taxis are absolutely expensive for foreigners and do not have meters.

It must be mentioned that tour groups to Thailand are basically low-priced groups. News about conflicts between tourists and Thai travel agencies and tour guides are common.

Although China-Thailand The two parties have joined forces to crack down on the Zero Yuan Group, but how can such a travel trend be eradicated so easily.

In the past two months, there were incidents of Chinese tourists being threatened by tour guides, which actually reflects the evil trend of group tours

It can be said that you are being ripped off when traveling in a group, mainly in the following aspects:

1. Shopping

This is an inevitable pitfall of traveling in a group, and tourists will definitely I was taken to some Thai specialty shops that the tour guide greeted me,

and many of the bosses behind the scenes are Chinese, such as cosmetics, jewelry stores, bird's nest shops, crocodile products shops, or latex pillow shops. Most of the places are only visited by Chinese people.

The certificates presented by some jewelry centers are all fake.

Some tour guides also sell their own products directly on tour buses. It is worth noting that the tour guides either recommend some unknown brands (which may get higher profits), or recommend some well-known brands. Brand but selling fake goods,

This kind of thing is nothing new, because it has been in the news countless times.

2. Self-financed items

Group tours are generally required to participate in some additional self-financed items, such as transvestite shows, adult shows, etc. Sometimes tourists do not want to participate, so conflicts arise. There are also many events,

And the price of self-funded projects is much more expensive than ordinary free travel, because in this way, we can earn more money from tourists.

There are also some travel agencies that boast of no shopping and pure fun. In fact, replacing these shopping items with self-paid items will still cost a lot more than ordinary independent tourists.

3. Travel experience

Another disadvantage of group tours is that the one-day itinerary is fully arranged.

Sometimes in a I was asked to rush to the next destination when I didn’t have a good time. Is it a tourist trip or a meeting?

Finally, if you want to have more fun, it is better to travel independently. In terms of cost and travel experience, it is better than joining a group tour in every aspect, and you don’t have to worry about being thrown out of the group or threatened. After all, traveling is all about it. You can feel better,

instead of spending money and suffering.
