What should I pay attention to when I go to Elephant Island?

If you want to go to Thailand, you can choose to travel alone or join a tour group. People with poor English can choose to join the tour group directly to save trouble, but the possible problem is that you don't have enough fun and the free room is free. Then you may get lost, and you may not have enough fun.

Passport+visa When did you travel for the first time? It is too late to prepare the following materials one month in advance.

Passport (jujube): I forgot to bring my ID card, household registration book and a 2-inch passport photo with a white background (I have been to the photo studio and know what to bring). I'm sure five will be enough. There is also 200-500 yuan (I can't remember exactly how much, because there was also a pass for Taiwan Province Province at that time) to go to the entry-exit hall where the household registration is located. It is estimated that it can be delivered to you by courier within 7- 10 working days (charge courier fee), or you can pick it up yourself. Because it was handled on 20 15, it is said that the household registration book is not needed now, so I have to consult the local situation myself.

Visa (stickers and stamps on a small book of bordeaux): 1, girlfriend, found CYTS official website on the omnipotent Taobao. The materials to be provided are: 2 passport photos (with names written on the back) +65438+ 0 pages of the form downloaded from their online shop, downloaded and printed, filled in by hand (black ink pen)+passport (small book with bordeaux color). Express them to CYTS.

The cost is 200-300 yuan (depending on whether you need express delivery), and it will be delivered to you in about 7 working days.

A visa is a big label and seal on your passport. The four chapters on the last page of this page were checked by the customs at the airport. Red is from our country and blue is from Bangkok. )

Prepare equipment 1. Summer dress, 27-30 degrees over there. Think about what to wear in summer and bring whatever you want.

2. Go snorkeling at the beach: sandals. Shopping: sports shoes or comfortable shoes.

3. Mosquito-killing and mosquito repellent can be bought at the local 7- 1 1 convenience store, which is cheap and easy to use (I believe that local medicine can cure local mosquitoes, so I didn't bring Liushen. )

4. Sun protection, this must be brought, and you must bring it all! ! ! Shopping in Bangkok is no problem. If you go snorkeling on the island, everything below should be ready. Some people say that I like to get a tan of wheat, so you must have never tried to burst like vitiligo after sunburn. Some people say that I won't get sunburned even if I go to Sanya, so you must try to get sunburned this time.

5. Big box (shopping).

6. Long-sleeved shirts. The air conditioning in shopping malls, taxis, hotels and restaurants is about 18 degrees, and it is 30 degrees outdoors. It's easy to catch a cold when it's hot and cold.

7. charging treasure.

8. Happy phone card (bought by Taobao), the kind of mobile phone card with unlimited Internet access in Thailand. You can only surf the internet, not make phone calls.

Snorkeling equipment (the following equipment can basically be bought at Xiangdao roadside store, so you should prepare underwater cameras in advance)

1. At least 50+ sunscreen (apply it all over your body, so touch the big bottle, including the soles of your feet, and then wear a swimsuit. Don't think that you are not afraid of sunburn when you wear a bathing suit.

2. Repair all kinds of creams (sunburn cream I bought at the local drugstore-yes) and sunburn medicine after sun exposure.

3. hydrating mask.

4. People with myopia: goggles or contact lenses with degrees. Flat diving goggles, straws and life jackets are provided on board.

5. fins (if you want to dive to the bottom of the sea quickly, you can consider it).

6. Underwater camera (available for rent on Taobao).

7. Bath towels, waterproof pockets (for wet clothes) and sandals.

8. Food (all kinds of drinks, fruits and snacks are sold on board, but the meals included in the snorkeling fee can only be used to satisfy hunger. You want to eat well, bring your own. )

9. Stab-resistant socks and gloves (Taobao or local purchase, dive below to explore corals, sea urchins and the like, be careful, if you just snorkel, you won't need it. )

* If you wear a full-body snorkeling suit, you don't have to worry so much about sun protection, but you still have to wipe the exposed part, wipe it repeatedly, and bring water next time. Wear a bikini if you want to take a beautiful photo (you should do a good job of sun protection), and wear a full-body bag if you are afraid of the sun.

In addition: there are almost no public toilets in the streets and subways; Trash cans are also rare in subways and shopping centers. Smokers bring their own boxes with cigarette butts, and there are no cigarette butts in the street.

If English is not good, when shopping, you mean that you need to know three sentences in English: how more? No matter what the other person says, you say "huh?" , the other party will take out a calculator to press for you; Then you can use "OK \ No, thanks." Reply to each other.

Generally, Thais in shopping centers and tourist attractions can speak a little Chinese, and some places will have Chinese signs directly.

I am lazy about the exchange rate. I didn't change Thai baht when I went. We took it at Bangkok airport, and because of the handling fee, we always took the maximum amount. Check the exchange rate yourself. I'm not good at math. I always divide Thai baht by 5 to convert it.

About food 1. Eat a roadside stall in Xiangdao.

2. You can eat whatever you want in Bangkok, and Ding Taifeng. No recommendation, because I don't care so much about eating, as long as there is meat, and everyone has different tastes. You may not like my recommendation, so the ranking is based on public comments, written by China people, and everyone's tastes should be similar. Those who can't get used to Thai food at home are still the same in the local area.

Many people suggest eating more local fruits, which are delicious and cheap. We went to1late October 165438+ without durian, and I don't like fruits and sweets myself. I tasted the local small pineapple and mango, and the small pineapple felt quite fresh in shape. As for the taste, I personally haven't tasted 1, 2,3.

The big market in front of the central world in Bangkok. All kinds of food! !

About shopping 1. This is not suitable for me to write, and I don't pursue luxury goods, so I don't know what brand and price. According to feedback from girlfriends, some brands are cheaper than domestic ones, and some brands are cheaper than shopping malls in airport duty-free shops after purchasing tax rebates.

2. Girls will visit boots drugstores everywhere in Bangkok, and the airport is a little more expensive than downtown. I like my research on cosmetics and cosmeceuticals, and I'm not good at this either.

3. There are also those "specialties": nasal passages, herbal ointment, tiger balm, plaster, Ponzi BB powder and so on, which are sold in any convenience store and market, and thieves are cheap. It is generally suitable for relatives and friends at home to bring these, which does not occupy land, is cheap and has characteristics.

Uniform airport tax refund on tax refund. Some shopping malls need counters to pay more than 2,000 baht to return goods. Not all counters can get tax refund.

1. When shopping in the mall, the tax refund is enough, and the merchant will help you to open a tax refund form (yellow A4 paper).

When you arrive at the airport, you have to refund the tax first, because the things you buy may have to be checked, so you can't check them first.

3. After going through the customs, there is a tax refund window, and only cash baht is refunded; Then go to another remote window and change it into RMB.
