The first is the issue of currency exchange: Thai Baht and Thai Baht exchange method. The currency unit of Thailand is "Baht", which is pronounced as "Baht" in English. Currently, 1 yuan is equivalent to approximately 4-4.5 baht. Currently in circulation are five banknotes of 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1,000 baht and seven coins of 5, 10, 25 and 50 satang and 1, 5 and 10 baht. 1 baht is equal to 100 satangs. Ways to obtain Thai Baht: 1. Direct purchase in the country has the highest exchange rate. Bank of China can purchase Thai baht directly, but it is not available in all business offices, nor is it available at any time. You need to make an appointment in advance and bring your ID card and passport with a visa. 2. You can directly withdraw Thai baht with your bank card at ATMs with the UnionPay logo or Thai affiliated banks. You can also try it at other ATMs without these two types of logos. Please note that the deposit balance of the ATM machine is displayed according to the foreign exchange rate of China UnionPay at that time. The Thai Baht amount is calculated based on the quoted price, not the RMB balance. The exchange rate is calculated based on the selling price of Thai baht announced by Bank of China on the day, but the card issuing bank will charge a certain handling fee (usually 0.3%-0.5%, with a minimum charge of RMB 10 per transaction). 3. Exchange euros, US dollars or Hong Kong dollars at home, and then exchange them into Thai baht when you arrive in Thailand. Two exchanges will result in a certain exchange rate loss. Generally speaking, the exchange rate of banks is slightly lower than that of street exchange shops. 4. Exchange directly with RMB in Thailand, the exchange rate is lower than the above methods. Bangkok's Chinatown may be slightly better. UnionPay in Thailand When traveling in Thailand, there are more than 2,000 store POS machines in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya, etc. that can use UnionPay credit cards. Kasikorn Bank (tailand.xutour.com), Thailand UnionPay cards can be used to directly withdraw Thai baht at more than 8,000 ATMs such as TMB Military Bank and Thailand SCIB Bank. Tips: 1. Cash withdrawals with debit cards (credit cards) require interest or higher handling fees. It is recommended that debit cards (deposit cards) be used for ATM withdrawals; 2. Credit cards are subject to credit limit limits, which may result in high fees due to exceeding the credit limit. It is recommended to use a savings card when making large purchases; 3. In addition to withdrawing cash, UnionPay cards can also be used to make purchases in most large shopping malls and stores in Thailand; 4. Regardless of debit card or credit card, please enter the password when swiping the card; if the card If there is no password, please press Confirm directly; 5. Some stores or ATMs may not currently have a "UnionPay" logo posted. It is recommended that you take the initiative to ask the store cashier or bank service staff.

In the bustling streets where foreigners gather, such as Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, and Phuket, there are many exchange offices directly under the jurisdiction of banks. These exchange offices are open until 20:30 in the evening, and some are even open until late at night. It should be noted that some banks do not accept US dollars of version 96 and earlier.

Do not touch the heads of Thai children, whether they are frogs or dinosaurs, otherwise, haha, please respect other people's habits. 2. If you want to visit a Buddhist temple, Thai people are very welcome, but please wear your pants and do not expose your body below the neck, nor your calves. 3. Prices in Thailand are relatively affordable, but please save every copper, after all, you earned it yourself. 4. The most affordable things are found in the living areas of local people, and the prices of consumer goods in tourist areas are still at a certain level. 6. Thailand is very rich in fruits. There is no harm in eating more. You can also eat some for me, mainly durian and ada fruit. Prepare banknotes before traveling to Phuket (if it is a hard-working type, at least 6,000 yuan, if it is not used up, it is your own, you can bring it back; there is no limit on the number of luxury items, but it is best to use an international card, which is easier to process at customs) Body: Health is of paramount importance, and it is best to exercise with adequate sun protection. Sunscreen: Cream or lotion is not the most important. What is important is that the PF value should be high, at least 40 or above. Medication: The most important thing is anti-seasickness medication. Of course, it won’t be a burden to bring some other commonly used pills such as Zhengchang pills. Language: Chinese has little status in Thailand, but most store and tourist attraction staff can accept English, so you must have a minimum English conversation ability. Exit procedures: passport, visa. . . . . . . (Nonsense, even a fool knows how to do it) Book a room: Generally, booking can be done online, especially during the peak tourist season (November to May of the following year), it is especially important to book a room in advance. D1 China - Phuket, Thailand There are several cities in China that can fly directly to Phuket. If not, you can fly to Bangkok and transfer to Phuket (there are more flights from Bangkok to Phuket); the nearest city in Hong Kong can fly directly from Hong Kong to Phuket. Rent a car.

There are very few local taxis in Thailand and the prices are not cheap. For short distances, there is a type of taxi locally called "Tuk Tuk". The prices are non-national and national (non-nationals are generally 20 pigs/person). There are many car rental points near the airport. It is recommended to rent one. The vehicles at regular car rental locations range from 700 pigs to 1500 pigs per day, and the vehicles are in good condition (we rented a Honda CIVIL for 1200 pigs per day during the National Day). Remember: there are maps available at all car rental locations. Get one immediately if you want to rent a car or not. This is very important for self-guided travel. Check in. You can stay in whatever room you book. It’s more troublesome if you don’t make a reservation. I choose the place where I want to stay and go to the local area to inquire. Unless there are special days, houses are available. I can’t say the price, so just go with the market. ) Activities: Go to the beach as early as possible. Generally speaking, hotels in Phuket are very close to the beach. It is a good choice to enjoy the beach scenery of Phuket as soon as possible. Evening: It is recommended to watch FATHA SEA or transvestite show. Another thing you should do on the first day is to reasonably arrange your itinerary for a few days and choose which projects to participate in so as to allocate your time reasonably. There are many islands scattered around Phuket, but they are basically the same. It is not necessary to go to all of them, just choose the representative ones. The hotel can generally help order tickets for various attractions and projects. You can also compare with several travel agencies. Phuket is a tourist area and there are as many travel agencies as there are scammers, but the price difference is not big. If you rent a car, you can drive there by yourself according to the agreed time to visit various scenic spots. The disadvantage is that the gas cost will increase, but the advantage is that you have much more freedom. The vehicles arranged by the hotel generally pick up people from multiple hotels, which often takes an hour or two. You also have to wait for the bus to return to the hotel, and you are not able to enjoy the activities you are interested in along the way. D2 Phang Nga Bay Phang Nga Bay is a bay between Phuket and mainland Thailand. You will visit a small attraction on the way. I think the most attractive thing about Phang Nga Bay is the mangrove, a tidal flat plant that has been almost destroyed in China. And more people think that the main attraction in Phang Nga Bay is Bang Chui Island, which is famous for 007. Have lunch at a Muslim fishing village. Basically free time in the afternoon. In the evening, you can watch the programs you didn’t watch on the first day. D3 Old Street Customs and Elephant Tour If you don’t see the authentic local life in any place, it may be inconsistent with the purpose of self-guided tourism. Therefore, it is recommended to drive to Phuket Province in the morning to have a look, and recently stroll around the local neighborhoods, Shops, snack bars, and taste the daily life of the locals. In the afternoon, take part in the most Thai-style elephant tour. In fact, just stepping on the elephant is enough (note to ladies: no skirts). If you don't mind, it's quite interesting to have an elephant massage, but ladies, please note that elephant massage is easy to get lost. On the return trip, you can drive directly to SUNSET POINT to watch the classic Phuket sunset. If you are interested, you can eat Thai-style barbecue on the street in the evening. D4 PP Island (or Sumei Island) and its surroundings can be used for diving or snorkeling to watch fish. Swimming possible. Sunbathing available. It should be a more exciting day. If you are interested, you can of course stay on the island at night.

It is recommended to have an authentic Thai massage or SPA in the evening to relax your body and mind for the day and feel the exotic customs
