Should I go to Phuket or Bali for my wedding and honeymoon in May from Dalian?

Wedding and honeymoon in Phuket are very romantic and fun. At the request of a friend, I compiled some tips for your reference:

1. Hotels in Phuket generally do not have Toiletries, please bring your own toiletries and slippers.

2. Please keep money, passports and expensive items in the safe provided in the room, because once the property is lost, it will be difficult to retrieve it.

3. If you bring a lot of electronic products (such as computers, DC, DV), it is recommended to bring a wiring board and a universal socket (the kind with a round head), so that charging is convenient and the digital products The memory card and battery must be sufficient.

4. It is recommended that after checking in, ask the waiter to clear the small bar to avoid disputes during checkout.

5. Patong Beach is the busiest in Phuket. The main transportation in Patong Beach is TUK-TUK cars, which are similar to TAXI, but you need to negotiate the price before getting on the bus. A car can generally accommodate 6 people, and the location within the beach is usually 20B/person. However, for two people to take a car, the driver will charge 100B, which can be as high as 80B. Go to Lotus Lotus in Phuket Town, the asking price is 300B, and you can repay it for 220-250B. To go to Central Festival (the largest shopping mall) in Phuket Town, you can take a bus (20B/person) or Taking a TUK-TUK bus costs about 300B, and you can bargain.

6. Tipping is popular in Thailand, usually 20B/time. If the bellman helps you carry your luggage, or someone takes photos for you (such as when riding an elephant or kayaking), it is recommended to tip. When dining in a restaurant, if the restaurant charges a service charge, you do not need to tip, so it is necessary to have some money in 20B denominations with you.

7. There are small banks everywhere in Phuket where you can exchange money. USD:THK=1:37.5-38, RMB:THK=1:4. Therefore, it is more accurate to exchange US dollars for Thai baht. It is best to get off the plane. Finally, replace it with a little spare. When leaving Phuket, the airport construction fee is 500B/person.

8. Phang Nga Bay is mainly for visiting 007 Island. It is mainly for photography and does not go into the water. There is a boating project, Canoeing, two people per kayak, 200B/person for 45 minutes, and shuttles between similar Among the karst caves in Guilin.

9. Safari has two-in-one, three-in-one, four-in-one and even six-in-one. This is a must-have item for group tours. In fact, only elephant riding is quite worthwhile, followed by Watch monkeys, feed monkeys, and other activities include bullock cart riding, rubber tapping performances, monkey picking coconuts, etc. Each group will have a fixed safari place.

10. Fantasea Fantasea Park should be the most expensive of the self-funded projects. It is divided into several aspects. One is mainly amusement, some small games, such as shooting, hoops, shooting, etc. You can enjoy three items for 100B (with a joint ticket). One is a large buffet, which can accommodate 3,000 people dining at the same time (but usually there are not so many). The taste is okay, and there is a lot of meat. You can’t eat meat in a group meal. One is the Fantasea performance. The performance is in English and Thai. The content is about why elephants are the symbol of Thailand. It uses multimedia and efficient stunts. The effect is very good. It cannot be seen in China, especially the last 10 elephants. We were on stage together, the momentum was very majestic. Filming is not allowed in the theater, so you have to send a package, but you will feel that the package delivery office has very reasonable arrangements. There are two types of seats for performances, one is ordinary seats and the other is VIP seats or Golden Seats. Ask about the type of seats when paying. Book a Golden Seat plus buffet through a local travel agency. The total price is 1850B/person. If it is a regular seat, it is 1700B/person. There should be a discount for large numbers of people.

11. Both Coral Island and Phi Phi Island need to go out to sea. There are two ways to go out to sea. It takes about 45 minutes by speedboat and about 2 hours by slow boat. When taking the speedboat, the bow of the boat is very exciting, but don’t get seasick. Sitting and bumping for 45 minutes is not something most people can bear, and there is no sun protection. The slow boat is also good. If it is a new boat, the seating conditions are very good, and free snacks and mineral water are provided. When I went there, I took a speed boat to Coral Island and a slow boat to Phi Phi Island. Seasickness pills are provided on slow boats, but it’s better to prepare some yourself. Especially when taking a speed boat, it is recommended that everyone take 1-2 seasickness pills. There will be a place to rent Fin (fins) on the pier, 100B. The function of Fin is to prevent sea urchins from stinging and to facilitate walking on the beach. However, in fact, you will not step on sea urchins when snorkeling. Carrying Fin is a burden when swimming and walking. Very unaccustomed to it. After confirming the itinerary for going out to sea, swimsuits are put on in advance. There is no place to change swimsuits at sea. Women can buy a sarong (no matter how much the price is, the price can be around 180B), and wear it on your body, which is beautiful and elegant. Hotels all lend you bath towels for free, so don’t forget to borrow them when you go out to sea! ! ! Unless confirmed with the tour guide, bath towels are provided on the boat.

12. Snorkeling is the most important activity when going out to sea. Please confirm with the tour guide how many times you will snorkel in a day. You can communicate well. Generally, you can snorkel twice a day on coral islands and twice on Phi Phi Island. , but in order to save time for shopping, travel agencies often only snorkel once, which is not satisfying, so you need to ask in detail in advance. Please wear a life jacket when snorkeling. It is very safe. The only equipment for snorkeling is swimming goggles and snorkels. The equipment provided on the boat is a bit dirty, so it is best to disinfect it with sea water. If the snorkeling equipment is leaking, replace it immediately, otherwise you will just swallow the sea water and have no time to take care of the graceful creatures in the sea. The sea water is very salty. If you swallow it, don't panic. The tour guide should have some bread to feed the fish, so it’s best to bring some yourself. It’s fun to feed the fish in the sea with bread. Snorkeling time is generally about 30 minutes at a time. When snorkeling, you can see clown fish (the nimon from Finding Nemo), corals, sea urchins (black, with long spines, small eyes that twinkle), and many other fish that you can’t name. If it’s your first time snorkeling, it’s a feeling you’ll never forget.

13. Phi Phi Island is claimed by many to be the most beautiful place, but this kind of beauty requires you to stay there for one night (the room must be a sea view room). Tour groups do come and go in a hurry , if you have time, be sure to charter a long-tail boat to go out to sea on Phi Phi Island (that is, Phi Phi island tour). At that time, there may be only a few of you on the sea and a few of you at the snorkeling spots, not to mention how fun it is. . 1000B for two people, 4 hours of fun (please inform the boatman in advance about the time according to the return ticket), free snorkeling equipment (generally charged 100B/person), bring your own bread and water (remember to bring water when going to sea), if you have three An hour is enough for you to snorkel twice, or snorkel once. In addition, you can ask the boatman to drive to an island and play on the beach.

14. When going out, sun protection is inevitable. Nivea SPF50 is the most commonly used sunscreen. It must have an SPF index of above 40 to be useful. You can buy a bottle of 370B in supermarkets over there ( I forgot the specific price), remember to apply more. Mineral water is very important, especially if you swallow seawater in the sea, you can rinse your mouth. The cheapest is a white bottle, which is quite big. It costs 10B in supermarkets, 20B in tourist spots, and 40B-60B in restaurants. When we went to Phang Nga Bay, the boat provided a drink, and when we went to the coral island, the speedboat provided soda and cola. It’s best to ask in advance whether free drinks are provided on board each day’s itinerary.

15. The consumption in Phuket is similar to that in Shanghai, a little more expensive. There are many small shops selling clothes, pants and shoes on the island. My suggestion is that no matter what the price he asks, always bargain according to the price on Qipu Road. , and be firm, and leave if you don’t want to sell.

16. In terms of food, the taste in Thailand is good, but the fried food is a bit too old, especially the fish. Lobster (little green dragon) usually costs 250B/jin alive, and one will count as 4 pounds for you. , ice is 200B/jin, and food stalls can also bargain to 180B/jin. It is said that there are also 120B/jin, but I didn’t see it. Crabs are generally 100B/piece, and fish are about 200B/piece. There are several cooking methods: fried (fried), BBQ, and steamed. BBQ is dry and tastes lighter. Fried lobster is delicious, and fish is delicious when steamed. The most popular dish is fried chicken with cashew nuts, usually 50B-100B/portion. In fact, some curry rice is also quite delicious, cheap and good quality. As for drinks, the mango and banana flavors are the most delicious.

17. Speaking of fruits, I think the most delicious ones are mangoes (65B/catty in supermarkets, 20B/catty at roadside stalls, 60B each at the airport), followed by lychees and bananas over there. And pineapple is super cheap, durian is a matter of taste and wisdom. However, the fruits in large supermarkets look great and taste better than those at roadside stalls. Lotus, BIG C, and supermarkets in Central Festival usually close at 9-10 pm, but in town, the TUK-TUK taxi seems to take 45 minutes one way. Cashew nuts are a specialty of Phuket. I believe that the tour group will definitely take you to the cashew nut factory. The cashew nuts you buy there range from 150B to 200B per bag. In fact, the same package only costs 130B at the airport, let alone other places. The most delicious snacks in the supermarket are cashew nuts and beans. They all taste good and can be taken back as small gifts to give away. Some seafood are spicy and not very tasty, and the chocolate is average.

18. For cosmetics, cigarettes and alcohol, the cheapest is the duty-free shop at Pudong Airport. It is best to declare your laptop through customs. Digital cameras and camcorders do not need to declare at customs now. Please leave the exit and entry forms on the plane. Fill it out.

19. If you go to a temple, don’t wear too revealing clothes, don’t say hello to monks casually, just listen honestly. Phuket is mainly about visiting the sea, and the temples are only incense. In addition, massage is also a special feature. Foot massage/thai massage/oil massage are very formal items, usually 200B-300B/hour. You can try it, the techniques are good. Body massage is a pornographic item and the price is unclear. There is much less porn in Phuket than in Bangkok, so just pay attention.

20. If the hotel has a swimming pool, it is good to swim at night. People with poor physical fitness should not soak in the sea water for a long time.

21. It is best not to buy anything when a tour guide takes you to a shopping place, as the rebates are very high, but a tour guide with poor quality will reduce the quality of his service from now on, so communicate well and go less often a day. shopping point. At the same time, it is better to have a clear understanding of the charges for each project in advance. Domestic travel agencies in China sometimes provide a price list for travel items. The prices on this list are 30-50% higher than those quoted by local travel agencies in Phuket, so bargaining is essential.

Hope this is helpful to you
