How can I find an accompanying guide if I want to relax and travel freely to Bangkok during the summer vacation?

In the early morning of August 24th. A group of four of us set off from Changshui, Kunming and flew to Bangkok.

Free travel, poor English is worrying, so we thought of the omnipotent Taobao!

After contact, Taobao photographed a Thai student tour guide named "South of the Cloud", who is said to be from Nanjing, China.

Her shop is introduced as follows:

The owner is in Bangkok, majoring in tourism hotel management, knows Thai, is familiar with Thailand's traffic routes and attractions, and likes tourism and food. Now I officially accept Thailand's free travel, business trip, running to the temple to ask for Buddha cards to make an appointment with Master Azan's tour guide translation service!

"Familiar with Thailand's traffic and scenic spots", so we believe it. There is another reason. Because she is an international student in China, we never thought that the situation of deceiving China people was actually popular overseas. This is another story.

Because the tour guide said she was busy and didn't know our accommodation standard, and after we gave the specific price, she still didn't reply. We have to book a hotel in Thailand for 4 days before we leave home (and the other 1 day on the 28th was booked in Elephant Island, Thailand). Facts have proved that we did the right thing, because the tour guide really didn't want to help us book a hotel, and the entry form required us to fill in the accommodation place for the first night of entry, so friends who need to travel freely should pay attention.

According to the agreement, we invite you to be on August 24th-28th, 20th13rd.

Why do I need a friendly reminder?

1, Taobao seller, by default, the link we took was hers, and the result was her so-called boyfriend (Xiaolong) on the morning of the 24th. The reason is that many people are ill, and we understand. When Xiaolong didn't know the way, we were still concerned about her illness when we called the masses for consultation. . . It turns out that we are stupid and naive. )

2. I got off the plane at 2: 50am on 24th, bought a calling card at the airport, and arrived at the hotel after 5 o'clock because of the language barrier. We didn't come to pick us up at the most helpless time. How long will it take to pick up the plane and help us buy a phone card? People say how a girl can pick up the plane in the middle of the night. Does she have no boyfriend? Besides, this is also a tour guide's job! Xiaolong took us for 24 or 25 days. ) I couldn't go to the Grand Palace on the 24th because of the tour guide Xiaolong's itinerary. So I decided to go on the 25th. The trip on the 24th was very tiring, because the tour guide was really unfamiliar with the map of downtown Bangkok (shopping malls around the Four Faces Buddha). He actually took us around the periphery of the shopping mall before he took us to find food from the main entrance.

The point here is that we had lunch in a shopping mall on the 24th. You said I would visit your tour guide and eat local snacks. Shopping mall! ! Do you need to take me? Chain stores, won't I eat in China?

On the 25th, we decided to go to Pattaya in the afternoon. So I checked out after getting up in the morning, dragged my luggage around the entrance of the Grand Palace for more than half an hour, and finally found a place to store my luggage for an hour at the entrance of the Grand Palace. Then the guide didn't go in, which we can understand as saving money. But our one-sided thinking. Because we missed it, the best time to go to the Grand Palace is actually 9 am. At this time, there is a handover ceremony. If you go to Beijing for the first time, you must watch the flag-raising ceremony in Tiananmen Square. ) This is another story.

On the 3rd and 26th, our trip was to Elephant Island. Because Yun Yun and Xiaolong said there was no bus from Bangkok to Elephant Island, we chartered 4,500 b (how much money did we waste here? )。 Later, when I arrived at the hotel, I was lucky enough to meet a couple in Wuhan. They told us that there was a bus, 550B round trip/person. The crowd was there, and she heard it. When I left Elephant Island, I asked many buses. She said that 700B/ person goes back to Bangkok, and Xiaolong * * * six people might as well charter a car. Finally, we went to the station for 300B/ person. Before we went, we asked them if there were elephants riding on Elephant Island, and they all said no, but then we saw elephants riding on the roadside. They didn't eat the day we went snorkeling. Do you blame us for not loading money when going out in this age? Moreover, we clearly saw that they came back with the things they bought in the supermarket (we invited a 1 tour guide, and we didn't say anything when Xiaolong came. If not, we wouldn't care so much. Everyone has only been to Elephant Island once, and Xiaolong has never been there at all, which is of no help to us. Please pay attention to and be familiar with this word. Can you teach it once? Before we went there again, we discussed Elephant Island, and she said that the place we were going to was different from the place she had been. As it turns out, we are talking about the same place. How many elephant islands are there in Thailand? How many can there be? Tell you the place at least 2 weeks in advance. Even if you haven't been there, can you read the introduction and strategy? Can you know something about the local situation?

4. Before we were in Thailand, we asked her for a photo of Chinese ID card several times, but failed, saying that we made a mountain out of a molehill and no one ever asked her for it. Actually, it was the first time we met strangers and went abroad. Is it normal to ask for an ID card? I don't have a tour guide card, saying that Thailand didn't pay attention. Later, I found that Thailand is very strict! That's why she dared to go with us when we said we were going to the embassy, because she knew the embassy was closed! And why you dare not go to the police station. Because the situation is bad, it will be sent back to China! !

The argument goes like this.

Because, saying that she is a tour guide, we actually take them to play.

First of all, the hotel needs to be decided by ourselves, the itinerary needs to be planned by ourselves, and even the transportation needs to be found first, and then ask her if she has it. This can fully demonstrate our trust in her. She turned down our proposed means of transportation. Finally, after we verified it, she said she didn't know. Is this an excuse for the tour guide?

Eat, here is the change. Because she doesn't know, and neither do we! So it also wasted some time. Including Bangkok and Elephant Island. During the argument, we actually said that we didn't tell her the cheapest way to save money, so we shouldn't invite a tour guide if we can't afford it, and the Wuhan couple are poor tourists.

5. Later, I talked about tour guide fees.

We intend to pay 350 yuan RMB on 1 day and 100 RMB (* * * 750 yuan RMB) every other four days, because we are not satisfied with her service. Arrived in Bangkok at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, because I insisted on not letting the price, asking for 350 RMB/day, and I have been arguing. I went to the China Embassy, but nobody took care of it after work. Later, I had a stomachache and needed to go back to the hotel (this hotel was booked when we were in Elephant Island, because at that time we were completely disappointed with the tour guide and decided to start our own business), so the two of us went back first with our luggage. The remaining two friends will solve it with them. At first, Xiaolong refused to let us get on the bus and sat in the taxi directly, which caused us to block 4 or 5 taxis. Later, we finally got on the bus. Xiaolong opened the door and asked the driver the address of our hotel.

Finally, we gave in and decided to pay 1000 RMB (even Taobao 350 RMB), but many people asked TB for praise. We disagreed and continued to pester. Unable to solve the problem, I decided to go to the police station. Many people said they could walk there, and they took our two friends for a long time. It turned out that she was stalling. She called two gangsters and hit us men (male, we are ***3 females/kloc-0 males) with glass bottles. He got out of the way. Another triad pulled him for money and gave him 1000 RMB (plus 350 from Taobao, * * * 65438+).

The following is a quotation from one of our Taobao friends:

At that time, people were gnashing their teeth and dissatisfied with the service. Why didn't they say so earlier? Because before the bus went to the island, we still felt like strangers. Forget it. After all, when we were in Elephant Island, did we say we didn't want them and told them to go back by themselves? We are also very kind to help them buy tickets and bring them back together. They are not tour guides at all, but translators at best. The hotel won't help us set it up. We have told her the standard, and we will solve everything ourselves. They ate everything we ate and drank, including living in Xiangdao. We all set her room as a villa with a sea view like ours! They later said that they didn't know our problem, and there was no problem before. As a tour guide, can't you catch up with things on the Internet? We all know the raiders better than her! Go to the grand palace. The handover ceremony will be held at 9 am, which is very grand. Xiaolong took us for those two days. He said how to get up. Most people don't watch that. The problem is that he didn't tell us, at least he should have told us. Whether we go or not is our business. (Later, she said that she was not a full-time tour guide, but a part-time student tour guide, trying to get rid of her responsibilities. ) On the evening of 28th, because they knew that our hotel was in collusion with the underworld, we changed hotels, and it was also money! We planned to go to the duty-free shop on the evening of the 28th, but we didn't make it. We only traveled for six days. Apart from flying time, isn't our time precious? Under no circumstances should you collude with the underworld. It's really a dragon but a local snake. Fortunately, he is still from Nanjing, China. He looks simple and simple. What a surprise!

Everyone asks for a private guide for the same reason. They want to arrange their own time, don't want to set a pattern, and want to eat delicious food that can't be eaten with the group. It's not that they are unwilling to pay. If they do well, they are willing to pay more. Such a tour guide gave us a very bad impression of Bangkok, Thailand.

Even this trip made me doubt the behavior of international students in China and their international impression as China people. ...

Is the bad impression of China people really just left by tourists? Why are China students discriminated against and so on? Is it really not because of your own reasons?
