What should I pay attention to when traveling to Phuket in July?

1. It is suggested that you can make an appointment to exchange RMB for some Thai baht at the Bank of China before going abroad, so that you can have cash to pay the transportation expenses and tips directly after entering the country. If you only bring dollars, you must exchange them at the airport first. The exchange rate at the airport will definitely make you lose money.

2. It is suggested to bring more US dollars. In Phuket, the most common exchange point is US dollars, and relatively speaking, it is more cost-effective to exchange US dollars for Thai baht than to exchange it directly with RMB, but it is best to exchange it with face value 100 and 50, so that the exchange rate is higher. And if you bring dollars, it doesn't matter if you can't use them up. You can bring them back. Anyway, you can continue to use it in other countries in the future.

3. In addition, you must bring more 20B bills with small denominations when you exchange them, which is convenient for tipping or buying roadside snacks.

4. Tipping is very popular in Thailand, usually 20B, if someone helps you with your luggage or take photos for you (such as riding an elephant or kayaking). Remember that money must be given for consumption, not coins. Coins are for beggars.

5. You need to pay an airport tax of 500B/ person when you leave Phuket Airport. Be sure to keep the money in advance and don't spend it all. By then, no one will accept us dollars or RMB. If you need to pay attention to connecting flights in Bangkok, with the opening of 1 Bangkok new airport in February 2007, the airport tax on international routes will be raised to 700B, and the airport tax on domestic routes will be raised to 100B.

When traveling abroad, especially when traveling abroad, you can make a list early, write down what you want to bring, and then index it according to the map, which can avoid the temporary rush before departure. Thailand is later than China 1 hour. Thailand is located in the tropics, where it is always summer. You should prepare light, cool and casual clothes such as shorts and T-shirts, and don't forget to bring long clothes and pants. Most hotels in Thailand, no matter how high the grade, do not prepare personal items such as dental appliances and slippers. It's best to take some medicines such as Ganmaotong, Chengyunning, Cistamine, Berberine and Band-Aid. And pay attention to the following matters:

Religion: Thailand's laws have many chapters on illegal acts against religion, including Buddhism and other faiths with the largest number of followers. All Buddha statues, big or small, intact or broken, are sacred. Please don't climb the Buddha The general requirement is not to "disrespect" the Buddha statue. When visiting Buddhist temples, you should dress neatly and don't wear shorts or sleeveless shirts. You should not wear shoes to enter the temple hall where the Buddha statue is enshrined. Buddhist monks are forbidden to contact with ladies. If you want to give something to a monk, you should first give it to a man to do it for him.

Social custom: Thai people put their hands together when greeting, which looks like prayer. Thais call it "W ai". Generally speaking, young people say hello to the elderly first, and the elderly will return the gift. Thais believe that the head is the highest part of the body, and it is not allowed to pat anyone on the head, even as a friendly gesture. If you accidentally touch someone's head, apologize to him quickly. Similarly, the foot is considered to be the lowest part of the body. Don't point your foot at people or objects. Don't touch anyone with your feet. Don't put your feet on the table or chair. Don't cross people's bodies, please walk around or politely ask them to move. When sitting on the floor, you should also keep your feet from pointing at anyone. It is unacceptable to show love in public. You may have seen some very westernized young couples holding hands, but this is only common in an enlightened society. In Thai society, losing your temper is the worst policy. Thais think this represents despicable behavior.

Currency: the unit of currency in Thailand is Bahat, and 1 US dollar can be exchanged for about 42 B AHT; There are seven kinds of coins; There are six kinds of paper money.

Thailand entry and exit instructions

Generally speaking, immigration officials and customs officials in Thailand are very friendly, and I believe you will leave a good impression after your trip in Thailand.

Entry:

1. On the flight to Thailand, the stewardess will give each passenger two forms, one is the immigration registration form and the other is the customs declaration form. It is best to fill in the form on the plane to avoid delaying the entry time after disembarking.

2. The customs declaration form is relatively simple. If you don't have any special items (see customs instructions), just fill in the basic column of the form and tick the green box.

3. After disembarking, passengers walk through the boarding bridge, covered bridge and waiting corridor (transit passengers, go upstairs to go through the formalities here). The first step is to go to the entry-exit counter, hand over your passport and the completed entry-exit registration form, and accept the inspection.

After checking your passport and visa, the immigration officer will stamp an entry stamp on your passport, which will indicate the time you are allowed to stay in Thailand. The exit form will be nailed on the inside page of your passport, which is very important. You must not lose it, or you will have trouble when you leave the country.

5. Pass the immigration office and get off the escalator. If you have checked baggage, follow the instructions of the TV screen, go to the corresponding baggage conveyor belt, wait for your baggage to be picked up, enter Bangkok Airport in Thailand, pick up your baggage and leave the airport. There is generally no special baggage inspector. Therefore, passengers should take good care of their luggage. Especially after disembarking, you should pass the entry-exit inspection as soon as possible (but don't rush to jump the queue to grab the file) and arrive at the baggage claim area. In case the luggage is taken by mistake or lost. If you don't have checked baggage, you can go directly to the customs.

6. At the customs, if there is no declaration, please take the green channel; If you have something to declare or you are not sure whether you should declare it, please take the red channel. Passports and customs declarations are handed in for inspection. Generally speaking, customs officials check their luggage through random inspections. If they are drawn, they should cooperate.

Exit:

1. After arriving at the airport, check in at the airline counter, show your passport and ticket, check your luggage and get your boarding pass.

2. After getting the boarding pass, go to the small counter or vending machine at the entrance of the exit inspection area of the immigration office next to you to buy airport tax.

3. With the airport tax bill, enter the exit inspection area of the Immigration Bureau and submit your passport, exit registration form and boarding pass. Immigration officials will nail the exit registration form to the boarding pass and return it to the passengers (this form and boarding pass cannot be lost, and passengers must use it to enter the flight lounge).

4. After customs clearance, there are security and customs inspections. The customs inspection when leaving the country is very simple and ineffective, and even customs officials are rarely seen.

5. After completing the above steps, enter the waiting hall, find the boarding gate (boarding bridge) according to the instructions on the boarding pass, and enter the flight lounge after security check to wait for boarding. International flights usually stop boarding 15 minutes before the plane takes off. Passengers who do not board the plane after being urged by the broadcast will be unequal and bear the consequences. Therefore, passengers must seize the time and arrive at the departure lounge 15 minutes before the plane takes off.
