What should I pay attention to when I go to Elephant Island? Thailand Elephant Island Travel Guide

If you want to go to Thailand, you can choose to sign up for free travel. People with poor English can choose to join the group directly to save trouble. But the possible problem is that you don't have enough fun. Visiting the activity room is free. If you get lost, you may not have enough fun.

Passport+visa

First, determine when you will travel. It is too late to prepare the following materials one month in advance.

Passport (Little Red Book): Take my ID card, account book, 2-inch passport photo with white background (you know what to take when you go to the photo studio), and forget a few. Five is definitely enough. There is also 200-500 yuan (I forget exactly how much, because I also had a pass to Taiwan Province Province at that time) to go to the entry-exit hall where the household registration is located. It is estimated that it will be delivered to you in 7- 10 working days (including courier fee), or you can ask for it yourself. Because it was handled on 20 15, it is said that you don't need a household registration book now. Please consult the local situation yourself.

Visa (stickers and stamps on Bordeaux notebooks): 1' s best friend found CYTS official website on omnipotent Taobao. Materials to be provided: 2 passport photos (with names written on the back), one page of form downloaded from their online shop, printed after downloading, handwritten (black ink pen) passport (Bordeaux notebook). Express them to CYTS.

The cost is 200-300 yuan (see if it needs to be expedited), and it will be delivered in about 7 working days.

A visa is a big sticker attached to your passport with a stamp on it. The four chapters on the previous page were stamped by the customs at the airport. The red one belongs to our country, and the blue one is the seal of Bangkok. )

: prepare the equipment

1. Summer clothes. 27-30 degrees over there. Think about what clothes to wear in summer, and you can bring them.

2. On the beach, go snorkeling: sandals. Shopping: sports shoes or comfortable shoes.

Mosquito repellent can be bought at the local 7-Eleven convenience store, which is cheap and easy to use (I believe that local medicine will cure local mosquitoes, so I didn't bring Liu Ling. )

4. Sun protection, this must be brought, all of it! Shopping in Bangkok is no problem. If you go snorkeling on the island, everything below should be ready. Some people say that I like being tanned into wheat, then you must have never tried to tan your skin like vitiligo. 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 conditioners in shopping malls, taxis, hotels and restaurants are all around 18 degrees, and it is 30 degrees outside. It's easy to catch a cold in cold weather and hot weather.

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, and the underwater camera should be prepared in advance. )

1. Wear at least 50% sunscreen (all over the body, so touch the big bottle, including the soles of your feet, before wearing a swimsuit. Don't think that wearing a bathing suit won't make you afraid of sunburn.

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

3. hydrating mask.

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

5. flippers (consider whether to dive to the bottom of the sea quickly).

6. Underwater camera (rented 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 prevent hunger. If you want to eat delicious food, bring it yourself. )

9. Stab-proof socks and gloves (Taobao or locally bought, dive below to explore corals, sea urchins, etc. ), or be careful. If it's just snorkeling, it won't be used. )

* If you wear a full-body snorkeling suit, you don't have to worry so much about sun protection, but the exposed part should be painted, repeatedly, and next time. If you want to take good-looking photos, wear a bikini (sunscreen should be made), and if you are afraid of the sun, wear a full-body bag.

In addition, there are almost no public toilets in the streets and subways; The seventh letter of the English alphabet.

English is not good. When shopping, you need to know three English sentences: How much is it? No matter what the other person says, you say "huh?" The other party will take out a calculator and press it 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.

About exchange rate

I am lazy. 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've always used Thai baht divided by 5 to convert it.

About food

1. Just eat a roadside stall in Xiangdao.

You can eat anything you want in Bangkok, including Ding Taifeng. I don't recommend anything because I don't care so much about eating. The meat is fine. Everyone has different tastes. You may not like what I recommend, so you rank it by public comments. It's all written by people in China, and everyone should have similar tastes. Those who are not used to Thai food in China still eat it locally.

Many people suggest eating more local fruits, which are delicious and cheap. We went in on1late October 165438+, and there was no durian. Besides, I don't like fruits and sweets. I tried local small pineapples and mangoes. Small pineapple thinks the shape is quite fresh. As for the taste, I personally haven't tasted one or two or three.

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

About shopping

1. This is not suitable for me to write either. I don't pursue luxury goods, so I don't know what brand and price. According to my best peer friend's feedback, it's cheaper than in China. Some brands are cheaper than shopping malls in duty-free shops at the airport after tax refund.

2. Girls will go to boots pharmacies all over Bangkok. The airport is a little more expensive than the city. I like my research on cosmetics and cosmeceuticals, and I'm not good at it.

3. There are also those "specialties": nasal passages, herbal ointments, tiger balm, plasters, Ponzi BB powder and so on. They are sold in any convenience store or market. Thieves are cheap. It is generally suitable for relatives and friends at home to bring these, which are cheap and distinctive.

About tax refund

Uniform airport tax refund. Some shopping malls need to check out more than 2000 baht at the counter to get a refund. Not all counters can get tax refund.

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

When you arrive at the airport, you have to apply for tax refund first, because it is possible to consign the goods you bought, so you can't consign them first.

3. There is a tax refund window after the security check, and only cash baht is refunded; Then go to another far window and change it into RMB.
