I won’t talk about the tourist attractions in Thailand. The main thing is some other contents. This guide is quite comprehensive. You can take a closer look at this guide when you go. Let’s take a look together. Let’s take a look at some more detailed strategies. About APP

Ctrip Travel (book hotel tickets)

Fliggy (apply for visa, purchase Happy Card, order airport transfer service, buy overseas travel insurance, book half-day tour)

p>

Booking (booking hotel accommodation)

Grab (ride-hailing software, similar to the domestic "Didi")

Google

Maps (map The software is similar to the domestic "Baidu Map" and "Amap". In foreign countries, Google Maps is the best to use. After downloading it in China, it is normal that it cannot be opened due to blocking. If you get it overseas, it can be opened and displayed normally.)

Google Translate (someone recommends "Youdao Translator", which is said to be good)

It is recommended to operate the above software (except Google Maps) in China to avoid being in a hurry abroad. It’s easy to feel uneasy about visas

1. Some people like to apply for a visa on arrival, but I found it troublesome, so I didn’t choose it. You can ask Du Niang about the specific materials required

2. I am applying for a visa. I found an honest and reliable travel agency on a certain website (Chengdu visa delivery).

Need to prepare:

Original passport (must be valid for more than 6 months)

Two 2-inch ID photos with white background

After preparing the above two materials, follow the travel agency's requirements (write the order information on a small piece of paper and mail it together) and courier it to the designated location (you are responsible for the courier fees for sending or returning)

Tell the customer service staff that the materials have been sent. Don’t worry about the rest, just wait to get the visa

I applied for a high-quality visa issuance in 3 working days, and the cost was 267 yuan (including 15 yuan for return shipping)

< p>If you don’t have photos, you can choose the photo-free service, the cost is 273 yuan (including 15 yuan for return shipping)

The process is roughly: send-review-sign-out-send back, which takes approximately About 5 days (leave yourself a week to prepare a visa for the wise) About phone cards

Thailand's local dtac----Happy card purchased on a certain pig, 26.99 yuan/card. Includes 8 days of unlimited mobile Internet access, 100 baht phone calls, and free incoming calls.

(It is not recommended to send text messages, the charges are too high)

How to operate an Apple mobile phone:

1. After arriving in Thailand, turn off the phone and insert the card (don’t worry, just go there when you are in China) Insert the card to play, maybe it will cause various problems with the card)

2. Turn on the phone and it will be automatically recognized (after the power-on recognition is completed, the operator will send you a text message to tell you the phone number. You can write it down in a notebook for emergencies)

Ps. After you complete the above steps, after a while, the time displayed on your phone will be the local time in Thailand, and there is no need to reset it

Speaking of this, let me first talk about the time difference

Due to geographical factors, China will be one hour ahead of Thailand

For example: it is 22 o'clock in Thailand now, then this time At this moment, it is already 23:00 in China (don’t disturb us Chinese people who go to bed early)

That is to say, during the trip, when you were getting up at 7 o’clock to go to work, I was still sleeping soundly. I’m dreaming about 6 o’clock

How to operate an Android phone (although I don’t have an Android phone, but I still help you get the method):

①After arriving in Thailand, Turn off the machine and insert the card and then turn it on again

②Settings

③Mobile network

④Access point name

⑤Create a new APN

Name: dtac

APN: www.dtac.co.th

Username, password: empty

⑥After saving, shut down and restart About air tickets

Because the main expenses for going abroad are air tickets and hotels, I choose low-cost airlines as much as possible for air tickets (low-cost airlines are not the airlines we imagined, but many services require charges, and the location and space will Relatively small, in fact, for us short-legged people, it is not easy to care at all)

The following is my flight itinerary and fare for this trip:

Air Asia: Chongqing (China) Jiangbei Airport T3CKG--Bangkok (Thailand) Don Mueang Airport DMK, 743 yuan/person (including visa card processing fee)--AirAsia official website booking

AirAsia: Bangkok (Thailand) corridor DMK - Phuket (Thailand) International Airport HKT, 265 yuan/person (including visa card handling fee) - AirAsia official website booking

Tianjin Airlines: Phuket (Thailand) International Airport HKT --Chongqing (China) Jiangbei Airport CKG, 1125 yuan/person--Ctrip booking

Although it was my first time to fly, I did not have any symptoms of airsickness (which made me worry and thought I I'm going to get airsick in a fancy way), Except I have a little tinnitus (just swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva)

The air-conditioning in the AirAsia cabin is very sufficient. If you choose AirAsia, you'd better wrap up a light jacket and board the plane.

AirAsia flight attendants can all speak Chinese. When you need help, try to use short Chinese words to summarize it, or mix in some important English words to express what you need (this time, no need to be shy, nobody I will despise you)

When the plane reaches the stratosphere (this squat is a cultural treasure), that is, after a smooth flight, the flight attendant will hand you the immigration card

You can compare Fill in the following picture (usually when you purchase a Happy card, the seller will give you a template). If you really don’t know some English words, you can ask the little brother and sister next to you. They are all compatriots. Everyone will be happy to help. About the value

Check-in means checking in your luggage, printing your boarding pass, and selecting your seat. You only need to do it 2 hours in advance. No one will do it for you if it’s too early

Before check-in, Check whether there are electronic devices such as power banks and IPADs in the suitcase. If there are any, please take them out and put them in your carry-on backpack or handbag, because these items are not allowed to be checked in

< p>By the way, check whether there is more than 100ML of liquid in your backpack or handbag. If there is any liquid, put it in your suitcase quickly, because these items are not allowed to pass the security check (except for those bought in the waiting room, after all, you have already After passing the security check), I thought of my bottle of all-purpose Banana

Boat aloe vera gel, which was opened and poured out in front of my face. My heart hurts so muchzzzZZZ

When I passed the security check, I Put all your belongings, including the wallet in your pants pocket, the raffia hat on your head, the coat on your body, etc., into the special basket, and then slowly go through the security check

After passing the security check, take it out For your power bank, have the security personnel check the specifications (carry no more than two with you and the total capacity does not exceed 20,000mAh, each must have a clear brand and specifications)

Then go to the corresponding boarding gate Wait for the flight, friends about accommodation

① The accommodation for the first night was arranged near the airport. After all, the plane arrived after 22:00. I didn’t want to be too tired the next day, so I stayed nearby. . Hotel name: PoolVilla@

Donmueang (Donmueang Pool Villa), hotel contact number: +66

21025816, fee is 186CNY/night (including breakfast)

< p> Accommodation review: Very close to the airport, about 3 kilometers.

Because there are too many lanes (I feel like I will be dragged away by the driver to sell them) and the surrounding area is shabby, it is difficult to find. Fortunately, I met a kind-hearted driver who helped me call the hotel to confirm the location (so be sure to write the hotel's contact number on your guide!!!), and take a taxi at the airport (there are metered taxis at the airport) It used to be about 133 baht (including a 50 baht management fee). Assuming the hotel is easy to find, it shouldn't cost more than 100 baht. The hotel is relatively simple (simple), but very clean and tidy. Between the two rows of white houses is a swimming pool, which adds a lot of beauty to the hotel. When you wake up in the morning, you open the curtains and you will see the swimming pool. Occasionally, foreign friends will swim in it

② On the second and third nights, we stayed near the light rail station in downtown Bangkok, which is mainly convenient for travel. Hotel name: TwinTowers Hotel (Twin Towers Hotel), hotel contact number: +662216

9555, cost is 429CNY/night (including breakfast)

Accommodation review: relatively easy to find, in National

Near the Stadium station, just use Google navigation after getting off the station. We got off at Siam station and walked there directly, which was very convenient. The hotel looks very grand on the outside, and it's actually pretty good inside (clean and tidy). It's just a bit old, but it's not difficult to see its former glory

③ For the fourth night, I chose a kawaii restaurant in Phuket Town. The hotel is convenient for us to go to Chalong Pier the next day. Hotel name: TheTintAtPhuket

Town (TintAtPhuket Town Hotel), hotel contact number: +66

76217099, fee is 247CNY/night (including breakfast)

Accommodation review: A super pink hotel. It is the hotel that best suits my personality during the trip (don’t ask me what my personality is). It is very clean and tidy (it seems that hotels in Thailand are very clean and tidy). The only drawback is that it's a bit stuffy. Turning on the air conditioner will solve this problem. Next to the hotel is a small shopping mall with a supermarket and so on. We had dinner at a restaurant with a resident singer next to the mall (it was a bar, I don’t know how to describe this restaurant. I highly recommend the watermelon special drink, which is a mixture of watermelon and cream, very good) Drink)

④ On the fifth night, we stayed at The Racha Hotel on Emperor Island. Hotel name: The Racha, cost is 10442.25THB (including breakfast)

Accommodation review: This is the highlight of the entire trip, a luxurious day and night trip. For such an expensive accommodation, I don’t need to explain too much. After arriving at Chalong Pier, go to the Racha Hotel (The

Racha) to check in, opposite 711. The hotel staff will arrange a speedboat to the island (there are three departures to the island: 12pm, 2pm, 5pm; three departures back: 9am, 11:30am, 4pm). There is an additional charge for the speedboat to Emperor Island, which costs about 480 yuan per person for a round trip. This amount and other consumption in the hotel will be recorded using the room number reported, and the charge will be confirmed when waiting for check-out (this payment model allows me to It feels like eating for free and drinking for free). After about 16 o'clock, all the tourists on the beach have left (tourists are not allowed to enter the hotel), and you can start to take over the entire beach with seawater coconut trees. High energy ahead! There will be several super lizards in the hotel, strolling leisurely around the hotel Major lawns

⑤ On the sixth and seventh nights, we stayed near Kata Beach and reached the beach in about 15 minutes. Hotel name: KanyaCozyBungalows

Kata (Kata Kanya Comfort Bungalow Holiday Home), hotel contact information: +668153

81808 (private phone number of the hotel manager, difficult to get through, get through It is also difficult to communicate), the cost is 343CNY/night (excluding breakfast)

Accommodation review: I don’t really recommend this hotel. It is built near the mountain. Although it has its own characteristics, I don’t recommend it to everyone. The accommodation environment is quite clean and tidy, but it is difficult to find.

Go straight into the alley next to 711

The accommodation adheres to the principle of convenience (convenient for transportation, convenient for fun, and convenient for tasting food)
