Looking for tips on traveling to Thailand in 2013

It is definitely more cost-effective to exchange at home. When I went there last year, the exchange rate at home was 4.9, at the airport in Thailand it was 4.3, and at the tour guide or locally it was 4.5.

At the same time, it is also recommended that LZ use a UnionPay card to pay directly in RMB. According to the exchange rate of the People's Bank of China on the day, if you use visa or the like, the Thai baht will be converted into US dollars first, and then converted into U.S. dollars. It's RMB, which is not worth it.

Others:

1. Clothing

The temperature in Thailand is around 26 degrees all year round. When you go to Pattaya, you can buy very unique clothes. T-shirts (designed by the store manager himself, and signed on the clothes), just bring 4 sets of summer clothes (excluding winter clothes when setting off), but they must contain:

1. Girls: sleeved tops + Ankle-length skirt; boys: sleeved tops + ankle-length trousers (required when going to the National Assembly, the Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha Temple. If you really feel it’s too troublesome and don’t want to bring it, just go to the attractions and buy a piece of long cloth for 40 baht)

2. Shorts are required for both men and women. When you go to Pattaya on the beach, it is convenient to get on and off the speedboat. You will not get wet or have the embarrassment of wearing a skirt.

3. Swimming suit. How can you not swim when you arrive at the beach in Pattaya~

4. Long-sleeved jackets (dual-purpose shirts). Because of the high temperature in Thailand, all indoor air conditioners are very powerful. In the car Also, you can bring one to wear when it gets cold, and you can also put it in the car when playing.

You can bring others according to your own preferences.

2. Food

When you go to Thailand, there are two things, one is fruit and the other is seafood. These two are the most delicious and affordable, but you can’t take them with you. If your health allows , just try to eat as much as possible, just durian, it is best to buy less every time. The amount that can be eaten at one time, because many hotels and station wagons do not allow durians to be brought in.

You can buy many Thai snacks in specialized specialty stores, such as curry, coffee, dried durian, squeezed mango, squid rolls, Big Brother peanut beans, etc. You can choose as you like, and they can be packaged into boxes for free. , so easy to ship.

3. Souvenirs

If you are older, you will be arranged to go to a duty-free store (King Power) during your trip. For ladies, you can consider L’Oreal cosmetics and various brand perfumes (personal recommendation). Fortunately, we are optimistic about the brand and model in China, so we can buy it directly when we get there. Boys can buy belts, cigarettes, etc. Zhonghua cigarettes in duty-free shops only cost 30 yuan a pack (each person can only buy two). The packaging is not good-looking because it has patterns of tissue lesions caused by smoking. It is not very good. Good to give away.

There are various bags made of crocodile skin and pearl fish skin. The crocodile skin ones are a little more expensive, while the pearl fish skin bags cost about four to five hundred for a wallet or a simple bag. The styles are different. There are many, but they are rare and can hardly be bought in China.

For the snake medicine from the Viper Research Institute, I bought Jiedu pills (which can detoxify and can be applied externally to treat acne), and I bought Fengshi pills for my mother, which cost a little more than 1,000 RMB per ***, but The effect is there, and it is definitely not available in China.

The smaller ones have five or three small wallets, one or two hundred baht, very cute~

There are also shops on the beach in Pattaya, with some The anklets, bracelets, and rings are all in bright colors and very unique!

There are also T-shirts with elephant patterns, T-shirts from the above-mentioned small shops (the patterns are very personalized and the prices are not expensive)

There are also small shops in Nong Ba Paradise. There are handmade bags and special products, and there is also a very cute hat for children, so cute! ! !

The most classic one is the Bangkok bag. It would be unreasonable not to bring a Bangkok bag to my sisters when I go to Thailand. The price is generally between 120 and 290 baht (size difference). I bought 6 of them. Come back and grab them all!

3. Things to do

In Bangkok, it is mainly for sightseeing. There is nothing particularly interesting. Pattaya is more fun:

Water sports: speedboat pulling people on their backs It’s exciting to hold a parachute at high altitude! ! Highly recommended~ There are also diving, banana boats, speedboats, speedboats that pull people on skateboards, etc.

Oriental Princess: Thailand’s ladyboy queen is on this ship every year, except for the crew. They are all shemales. From an aesthetic point of view, the shemales are a little taller, but they are really beautiful.

Elephant riding: two people in a group, give the elephant driver a tip of 20 baht after the ride.

There are many others that I won’t list one by one. There are a few things to note:

1. It is best to exchange the required amount of Thai baht at home (the domestic exchange rate is higher than that at the airport or The tour guide is much higher!) Also bring a certain amount of RMB and a credit card (UnionPay) in case of emergencies. If there is no Oriental Princess on your itinerary, it is likely that you will be asked to choose AB when you arrive in Pattaya. The price of each package ranges from 1300 to 1800 RMB. It includes the Oriental Princess and the Pattaya Red Light District (gambling is prohibited in Thailand, but sex is prohibited. The local porn industry is very developed. The red light district is also like this. There are many bars on one street, but still It is recommended to go there, after all, you can feel it for yourself) Muay Thai show (sit in the audience and watch, the people on top are fighting very hard) Macho Man Show (said to be more suitable for couples) Emperor's Dinner (just shark's fin and bird's nest, etc., tastes good, especially Thailand’s unique coconut stewed bird’s nest tastes quite good) Seafood meal with extra meal (that is, when eating on the beach in Pattaya, there is a big difference between extra meal and no extra meal. With extra meal, there is a big plate of seafood, which may not be the same for one table) Can be eaten) and so on~

2. Women must bring sunscreen. It is best to bring a few moisturizing, whitening or repairing masks, otherwise it will be a bit dark when you come back~ Uh~ ladies should bring some must-haves for menstruation. Supplements, when I went there in January, my mother, I, and the two girls in the same group suddenly got their periods, and the times were wrong. You still have to pay attention to the seasonal difference!

3. You can take off your clothes when you are about to arrive in Bangkok on the plane. The same is true when you come back. You can add more clothes when you are almost there, especially when you are coming back, otherwise you will be really cold. Die...

If LZ has any questions, just ask~
