What should I bring to Thailand? Thailand travel guide

You should know some scenic spots in Thailand. Now I will tell you some practical information about Thailand in Xiangxiao, such as visas and transportation. This is what you need to go to Thailand. Now let's go and have a look.

Preparation before departure

visa

Thailand can go to landing visa, but I prefer to get a good visa in China, which is safer. There are many agents on the Internet, a universal treasure, 230 yuan/person. All you need is the original passport and a 2-inch photo, which will be received within 7 working days. The visa is valid for 90 days from the date of issuance and can stay in Thailand for 60 days.

Entry and exit

Passport, customs declaration form, entry-exit card (original entry, copy exit), customs declaration form, entry-exit card, etc. It is necessary for Thailand to enter the country. Please fill in the form in English, and your name should be in capital letters. No matter which channel you take, you need to hand in the completed customs declaration form. Sometimes, passengers' luggage will be asked to pass the X-ray detector or open the baggage inspection.

money

Rmb: Thai baht 1:5. This year, Thailand promulgated a new regulation. Everyone who enters Thailand must bring at least 2W baht (equivalent to 4000 RMB), which can be exchanged at China Bank in China and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Bank of China seems to be more cost-effective than local exchange in Thailand and needs to make an appointment one day in advance. You can also use UnionPay card to withdraw money directly from the local ATM. There is a Chinese prompt, and the exchange rate is not bad, about 1:5.3, but you need to charge 50 baht for each withdrawal. Remember to recognize the UnionPay logo and try not to pick it up at the ATM at the airport. The handling fee will be more expensive.

Phone card/phone card

Buy a happy card in advance on a treasure, and the traffic is unlimited for 7 days. You can surf the Internet and make phone calls. I went to 10 this time, bought two cards, and changed one on the seventh day. You can buy top-ups at local 7-Eleven convenience stores, telecom business halls and even airports.

attaching plug

The basic difference is not big. Thailand also has a voltage of 220v, so household appliances can be widely used without additional transformers. But the plug is slightly different. The jack on the Thai wall has only two phases, not three. But if it's a computer with three plugs, it can't be plugged directly into the wall. You must bring an adapter or a small patch panel. (See Tai _ for details. Oh, haha)

Shooting equipment

Canon 5Dmark3, iphone6plus

air ticket

Round-trip air tickets from Nanjing to Chiang Mai and Bangkok to Nanjing are all booked on Ctrip. They are not very cheap, but they are more convenient. AirAsia official website Chiang Mai-Bangkok reservation. If there is too much luggage, please buy and check it in advance.

language

Thai and English are mainly popular in Thailand. Because there are many tourists from China who come to Thailand, some places also provide Chinese services. Basically, as long as you can speak simple English, there is no problem! If not, you can download an app: Travel Translator, which is very useful.

weather

Due to the influence of tropical monsoon, Thailand can be divided into three seasons throughout the year:

The highest temperature is from March to May, with an average of 32~38, which is called "hot season" and the air is dry.

From June to 10, this is the "rainy season". 85% of the annual rainfall is concentrated in the rainy season, and the average monthly temperature is around 27 and 8. But the rainy season in Thailand has its unique side, that is, the rain will concentrate at a certain time in a day. It will be cool today after the rain.

1 1 By February of the following year, after the rainy season, Thailand ushered in the best season of the year, a "cool season" with an average temperature of 19~26. Although it is called "cool season", the temperature is not low.

Therefore, the best tourist season in Thailand is not much different. All the year round can be said to be the peak season for tourism, because Thailand gives us different feelings at different times.

Local call

1. tuk-tuk (tuk-tuk)

TukTuk in Thailand is very common and feels a bit like a tricycle. Every driver will decorate his car very interesting. The price will be more expensive and can be negotiated according to the distance.

2. Taxi

Press the meter to ask the driver before getting on the bus. ), if the driver agrees to dial the meter to get on the bus and sees that the driver did not press the meter after getting on the bus, he should decisively choose to get off. It is convenient to get a tax if there is no traffic jam.

Two cars are common means of transportation in Chiang Mai. The red car had no fixed route and stopped at once. The starting price is 20 baht per person, and the price will be increased according to the distance. Sometimes drivers wait until the seats are full and can take 10 people. Yellow, blue and green cars have relatively fixed routes. Generally, 40 baht is enough for the ancient city, and 80- 100 baht is generally used for places not too far around. Generally, 20 baht per person in urban areas. Let me give you a reference.

Rent a motorcycle

We only rented motorcycles in Baixian. Most of the scenic spots in Baixian County are located in the suburbs, with a certain distance from the city center, and well-known hotels are also located outside the city, so renting motorcycles as a means of transportation is the best choice. You can rent it at AyaService, which is a relatively large motorcycle rental point. The motorcycle we rented was 140 baht/day. You need to sign a passport. If you don't want to sign a passport, you can sign a copy of your passport and add 2000 baht.

5. BTS

Rail transit in Bangkok is divided into light rail (BTS) and subway (MRT). Light rail is the most popular and comfortable means of transportation in Bangkok. There are two lines in total * * *: The dark green one is the Xilong line, from Onute to Mohit.

The light green line is the Sukunyi line, from Sapan Taksin to the National Stadium. These two lines can transfer at Siam.

Opening hours: 6: 00 to 24: 00

Cost: 15-40 baht (divided into different areas by distance, 1 area is between two stops, fare 15 baht. At present, the farthest is Zone 6, and the fare is 40 baht).

: APP recommendation

1. Google Maps (precise positioning, triangle arrow, even a road idiot like me is very easy to use, very easy to use! )

2. Honeycomb freedom (all kinds of powerful consultation, many delicious and fun travel notes, and it is also convenient to inquire about scenic spots! )

3. Travel translator (although my English level and normal communication are good, it is just so-so, so it is easier to download Thai and English where I remember to download them in advance)
