How to prevent being trapped when traveling to Thailand?

Travel to Thailand is generally divided into two types, one is group tour and the other is free travel. I will start with these two modes of travel and tell you what pits there are, so that everyone can have fun and step less!

——————————————————————————————————————

Traveling with a group to avoid the pit:

1. Venom Research Institute, Latex Experience Hall and other places are basically hidden shopping spots. Don't buy anything!

I think as long as there are friends around me who have been to Thailand for a low-cost tour, just ask a few words casually. Basically, all tour groups in Bangkok go to these two so-called "scenic spots". In fact, they are all hidden shopping spots.

The tour guide will let you experience it in another way, make you feel that the product is good and make you pay for it. For example, what kind of ointment developed by venom can cure all diseases, and what kind of latex mattress can cure lumbar disc herniation! Deceive Xiao Bai.

Don't be fooled, otherwise it will be difficult to get a refund in the future, and safeguarding rights is really tiring.

2. Be sure to exchange US dollars or Thai dollars in the bank in advance before traveling, not in the hands of tour guides, the exchange rate is very low.

Generally speaking, the exchange price of Thai currency in domestic banks is about 1:5, but at the airport, it is sometimes 1:3 if the map is convenient for exchange with tour guides. It's not cost-effective. The more you change, the more you lose. Why don't you just go to the Bank of China and exchange it? The exchange rate is relatively stable, even if it is inconvenient, you can change some dollars. The dollar can also be used in Thailand, and it is hard currency.

If you run out of Thai dollars and want to buy something, most places don't accept RMB payment, but US dollars can.

3. You don't have to go to the scenic spots at your own expense. It is more interesting to arrange a time to get together.

Don't believe what the tour guide tells you to go to the scenic spot at your own expense, or if you don't go, you can only wait outside.

There are many self-funded attractions that are actually not fun at all, such as the Grand Palace. Just tell the tour guide the assembly time directly, and then make an appointment with friends to go to the nearby market, vegetable market and so on to experience the local food culture in Thailand.

I have to mention: The Grand Palace is actually very close to the Iiconsianm water market, so it's shallow to walk with a group. It is better to give up some scenic spots and go to Thailand to experience local life.

4. Try not to join the low-priced group for the sake of cheapness.

This is definitely the point. Not only Thailand, but almost all Southeast Asian tour groups, more than 90% of low-priced groups have to go shopping, which will take a long time. Some people even let you spend five hours shopping every two days. If you don't spend money, the tour guide may deliberately delay the time, or say something unpleasant, which will greatly affect the experience of playing, and it is easy to be deceived into buying high-priced tourist souvenirs unconsciously. So be careful.

Free travel without pit:

1. It is best to choose light rail or subway for travel. Say the price in advance when taking a taxi, or download indrive to take a taxi directly to avoid being slaughtered.

Taxis in Thailand can be said to be kings, and they will be slaughtered for you when they come. Not only outsiders, but also locals.

Go directly to the destination without negotiating the price,10km to collect 400 yuan, but the local police turned a blind eye. There is no way to complain, it is a waste of time. Besides, don't trust the watch. Taxi drivers are first-class detours. The 40 yuan road bypasses the 200 yuan, and they can't cry, such as me.

If you must take a taxi, indrive, if you can't, you must consult the hotel or restaurant staff in advance to determine the normal taxi price. Bargain directly before getting on the bus, agree to the whole journey, pay and run.

The best way to travel in Thailand is light rail or subway, or take a taxi indrive, which is similar to domestic Didi travel. But the subway or light rail must be good at English, otherwise it will make you dizzy.

2. It is recommended not to go to the shemale show, which is spicy.

Once upon a time, when I was a simple migrant worker, I was dragged to watch this adult show. At that time, my embarrassed toes were about to be pulled out of three rooms and one living room. And the actors will randomly invite the audience to take interactive photos on stage. I am the chosen unfortunate. A photo costs 200 baht. Two actors rubbed it for me twice, which means 200 baht for one person, and then flew away with more than RMB 100.

Really, I've been advised not to go to see it because I don't know what I saw after spending money.

If you really like shopping outside, remember to bargain. Don't bargain if you don't want to buy.

In Thailand, there is a custom that you can make a counter-offer if you want. If not, don't bargain for fun, or you will be afraid of going to jail.

But then again, in addition to eating clearly marked, eating street stalls does not bargain, and other silks, gadgets and clothes can be severely bargained. There are many bosses who set prices for everyone and can bargain if they like. Generally, I cut at least one third. Otherwise, it is easy to become a big head.

4. Eating in Thailand does not follow the guidance of domestic social apps, but makes good use of Google? Map, otherwise it's easy to be slaughtered.

There are many social app recommendations in China that charge advertising fees more or less. There are few delicious shops. Generally, those who like to collect more are not delicious, nor are they authentic Thai, and they are expensive. Personally, it is a kind of slaughter.

5. The place to live must be close to the bus station or subway station, which is convenient for travel.

Save the high transportation fee, taxis in Thailand are not cheap, but also public transportation.
