What should you pay attention to when planning to travel to Thailand?

If you have traveled all over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, it is also a good choice to travel abroad to experience different regional characteristics and customs, and to see the differences between different ethnic groups outside.

Thailand is a popular tourist destination in Southeast Asia. The best time to travel is from August to December, because during this period the autumn air is crisp, the weather turns cooler, the temperature in Thailand also drops, and the rainfall after the rainy season also decreases accordingly, making it a very suitable season for traveling. However, we must also pay attention to local climate changes. This is the season when typhoons are raging, so you must be alert to natural disasters.

What are the advantages and things to pay attention to when choosing to travel to Thailand? Here, draw a special focus and chat with your friends to see if it helps them.

First point: August to December is the most suitable time to travel, because in order to attract more Chinese tourists, the Thai government will implement a visa-free preferential policy for Chinese tourists from August to December, which can provide Save 2,000 baht (approximately RMB 300) in tourist visa fees on your overseas travel. After this period, the visa-free preferential policy will no longer exist. However, the specific introduction time of the visa-free preferential policy depends on the notification from the Thai government. If you only plan to travel during this period, you can consult in advance or check the official announcement. Many ticket grabbing software platforms now display relevant announcements in real time, such as Ctrip and Fliggy APP ticket grabbing platforms. If the Thai government promulgates such a preferential entry policy, it will generally remind you on the platform. You can pay attention to read the announcement when buying air tickets, or you can ignore these visa fees.

Second point: If you miss this time and you don’t care about the preferential visa fee of 2,000 baht (about 300 yuan), it doesn’t matter. Traveling to Thailand is very cost-effective. Consumption in Thailand and the United States is generally not high, and consumption in most cities including the capital Bangkok and the popular tourist city Pattaya is comparable to that of third- and fourth-tier domestic cities. But in the end it still depends on your spending power. If you decide to travel independently, the requirements are not very high. Bringing enough RMB 4 to 6,000 is enough for ten days and a half, including round-trip air tickets. If you want to pursue high-end travel, it is difficult to say because everyone’s spending power is different. It depends on the individual.

The third point: Before traveling abroad, you must first exchange foreign currency into the currency of the country you are going to travel to at a domestic bank that can exchange foreign currency. Most domestic banks can exchange it, and you can also exchange it directly on the Alipay APP platform or various ticket booking APP software platforms in advance. You can withdraw cash at the airport or designated exchange points. Exchanging foreign currencies at home in advance will save a lot of exchange rate compared to going abroad after landing. It is recommended to exchange 3 to 4 thousand RMB Thai Baht, because if you exchange more, you will waste an exchange rate. This doesn't work if you don't care and don't spend too much money. Many cities in Thailand also support Alipay and WeChat Pay, so you don’t have to worry about not having enough money. Moreover, the exchange rates of Alipay and WeChat Pay are the same as those in China. The biggest advantage is that you don’t have to worry about exchanging them for counterfeit currency.

The fourth point: Thailand rarely deceives tourists like many domestic tourist attractions, but there are no tour groups or tour guides deceiving tourists. As long as you pay more attention to yourself and Tang not to take advantage of others, you will not be deceived. Especially when going to some famous attractions, you must buy tickets at the regular ticket window. Don’t easily believe the flyers distributed by tour groups on the roadside to attract tourists or the tour guide’s so-called recommended attractions. Don’t be easily massacred. If you don't realize this, you are bound to travel no matter where you go. Don’t be cheap when traveling, take care of things easily and trust roadside recommendations. With these points, at least I have been to many tourist cities at home and abroad and have never been cheated.

Point 5: If you plan to travel at this time, the best advantage is that both domestic and foreign flight tickets are very cheap during this time. It is recommended to start from Guangzhou or Kunming. Because these two places are the distribution centers for flights in and out of Southeast Asia, the flight prices are much cheaper than other places, the frequency is also very dense, and you can choose from various time points. If you are not advised to work the night shift, it is most cost-effective to choose the morning shift. If you don’t book a hotel with pick-up service in advance, the only downside to an early flight is that it’s inconvenient after landing, so it’s best to book a hotel in advance. If you choose a hotel with airport pick-up service, no matter when you arrive, you won't have to worry about where to go after getting off the plane. If your spending power is limited, you can also choose a local youth hostel run by Chinese people. The price is very reasonable, that is, the accommodation fee ranges from 40 to 120 yuan per day. There are many options to choose from, it depends on your personal choice. Such youth hostels also provide airport pick-up services. When booking, please inform the hotel of your pick-up time and landing airport in advance.

Point 6: It is best to obtain a domestic transit visa in advance before traveling. It takes more than 2 hours to get a visa on arrival. If there is heavy traffic, the queue time may be longer and the procedures may be more complicated. It is also common for Thai customs staff to collect tips from Chinese tourists. It is also an indisputable fact that they were acquiesced. Because they know that Chinese people are rich. In fact, Chinese people are very desperate and like to show off their wealth everywhere, so they are everywhere now. Another great benefit of getting a transit visa in advance is that you don’t have to worry. You don't have to worry about being deported if your visa expires.

tpass will add unnecessary trouble to your trip and save you the long waiting time for a visa.

Point 7: The rainy season has basically passed during this period and the temperature has dropped. Thailand has a subtropical climate, so traveling in summer is boring. The same goes for the temperature drop in Thailand from August to December, and the rainfall is relatively reduced, making it very suitable for tourism. However, the only thing you need to pay attention to is the typhoon season. Pay attention to the local weather forecast, choose a day to travel, and pay attention to precautions.

Eighth: If this is your first time in Thailand, don’t. Don't worry about the language barrier. Airports and streets, shopping malls and streets will all be marked in Chinese and Thai. In addition, there are many local Chinese and Chinese-run shops and hotels, and many Thai locals can speak a little Chinese, so it looks like a third-tier city in China, without any sense of strangeness. The only thing to note is that when taking a taxi, the driver must dial the meter, follow the route on his mobile phone navigation, and pay tolls according to the mileage on the meter. Don didn't want to negotiate the price with the driver because a stranger was accidentally hit and killed by the driver.

Finally, if you plan to go to Thailand for ten and a half days, Thailand is the best choice, because Thailand is a big tourist country with countless natural scenery and cultural landscapes. You may not be able to visit all the famous attractions in ten and a half months. . There are many nightclubs in Thailand and Pattaya. This is a representation of the city that never sleeps. As night falls, the lights are brightly lit and the neon lights flash, indicating that this is a sea of ??joy. You can freely show your unrestrained youth and indulge your unruly life here. Thailand is a country where Buddhist culture is prevalent. Every city has a strong Buddhist culture and thought. The most common place across the country is the splendid Buddhist temple. Therefore, when you travel to a local area, you must respect the local culture and customs. Before traveling to famous scenic spots, you should check the local travel precautions. Some scenic spots and temples do not allow casual photography, as taking photos is the greatest disrespect to the Buddha. What's even more intolerable is insulting their supreme king, so you can stop taking pictures of their king. portrait or sculpture. The surrounding areas of Bangkok are dominated by cultural landscapes. Bangkok is an international metropolis, while Pattaya is romantic and full of passion.

Okay, you said that much? If so, start now. Yes, now, pack your backpack, pack your bags and embark on your flight to Thailand! Go away.
