Introduction to Notes on Free Travel in Bangkok 20 18

In fact, in Bangkok, in addition to the things to be prepared when going out, there are some things that everyone should pay attention to, such as the tourist climate here in Bangkok, and shopping at scenic spots, which everyone should also know about, and everyone can also go and have a look.

1- Passport omitted, everything should be done in advance.

2- As mentioned in the post before the visa, it's too late to go to Bangkok to see the house, but it's landing visa. Later, I got a visa at the travel agency in advance. Let me briefly talk about the precautions of these two procedures.

1? Landing visa-As long as all the information is available, landing visa will be fine.

What information do you need to carry?

A, Thai baht. According to the regulations of the Thai government, individuals must bring foreign currency with a value of not less than 1 10,000 baht (about 2,000 yuan) and have no less than 20 families.

000 baht (equivalent to about 4000 yuan), they have no requirements for the concept of family. My understanding is that people who travel together are considered as a family. If you don't bring them according to their requirements, you have to go to the foreign exchange office at the airport to exchange them once you don't make a spot check. Of course, the exchange rate is very low (about 0.3% lower than that in China), which is not very cost-effective.

B. photos. For visa on arrival, Thailand needs two 2-inch photos on a white background. This photo should explain to the photographer that it is a photo of a visa to Thailand. According to the photographer who took my picture, landing visa's 2-inch is bigger than the ordinary 2-inch, which is somewhat different. It doesn't matter if you don't shoot. There are machines at the airport that can shoot on the spot, but it may take a lot of time to queue up.

C. return ticket. A visa on arrival must have a return ticket. If not, click and book a high-priced ticket on the spot. The return date must be within 15 days after entry. This round-trip ticket is an electronic trip to travel itinerary printed by the e-mail sent to you by the seller after purchase.

D. Application Form When you are in landing visa, you need to fill out an application form (there are many forms next to the application form in landing visa, just like banks, and there are cases filled in English on the glass desktop. If you don't understand them, please print a Chinese template in advance), and there is a column indicating your accommodation place, as well as this column on the entry-exit card, indicating the name and address of the hotel.

E. Entry and Exit Card The entry and exit card was given to us by a beautiful stewardess about halfway through the flight. It's in English, and all you need to fill in are basic information, such as last name, first name, nationality, coming to work or vacation, income level and so on. If you don't understand, fill in the template in Chinese. It should be noted that the padding must be complete. When going through the customs, the staff will take away the entry card, and the exit card should be kept away, and it should also be given to the customs clearance staff when leaving the country.

After the materials are ready, follow the crowd to the customs exit. There is a place where Chinese prompts are given for the whole process of visa on arrival. Just next to the customs exit, fill in the application form (in English) first, and then queue up to submit the materials. I don't need to handle this myself. If you travel in the tourist season, it is suggested that others queue up at the customs exit, submit the materials in landing visa alone, and pay when submitting the materials (cash baht is required, about 400 baht per person). So landing visa is ok.

2? Travel agency visa processing-planning your trip in advance can save time and money.

Travel agencies apply for visas. I buy them from Taobao, and many travel agencies can do it. The off-season price is different, and the postage sent back is extra. The following are some points to note:

First, where to sign. My son has a passport in Hangzhou. I want to send it to Shanghai, and Shanghai will sign it. My husband and I both apply for passports in our hometown, and most provinces outside Zhejiang Province apply for visas in Beijing. Please be clear when you buy this. Thailand visa can be issued in Kunming all over the country, but it is expensive and not recommended.

B. Time: The visa in Thailand is valid for three months, so it is best to apply in advance. I remember once a travel agency called me and said that I had to queue up every day to limit the number of places. I queued up according to the time when I received my passport. If you catch up with the peak season and the daily limit, it will be too late.

3- Air tickets

I bought it on a flying pig trip. At that time, I decided to see the house in a hurry and didn't buy a plane ticket in advance. Fortunately, it was not the peak period of tourism at that time, and the price was ok. It should be noted here that the time shown on the ticket is local time, and there is no problem with the journey. When you return to a place with jet lag, you should consider the local time and the time of arrival in China to arrange the pick-up and other matters.

4- pickup truck

I went to Taobao several times and bought xx airport to pick me up. 99 yuan RMB, Taobao can choose the size of the car and whether the luggage can be loaded, and then fill in the hotel and address online. If it is far from the airport, you need to add money. So the airport pick-up money needs to be booked on the first day of the hotel.

After recording the information, send it to the seller, bind WeChat, and it will be ok. You will receive reminders from WeChat and SMS before you travel. The information is as follows:

Bangkok airport

Economy class: Guests arriving at Don Mueang Airport, please go to Gate 3 after customs clearance, and the driver will wait for your Majesty at Gate 3 on the 1 floor (next to the calling card shop).

Comfort car: guests arriving at Don Mueang Airport, please go to Gate 3 after customs clearance, and the staff will wait for your Majesty at Gate 3.

The pick-up point of Suvarnabhumi Airport (international and domestic flights) is unified between Gate 3 and Gate 4.

If you can't find the driver, please contact China Customer Service at 6: 00-2 1: 00, 0833xxxxxx2 1: 00-6: 00 and 0968xxxxxx.

After finding it, the problem is not big. Although he is Thai, the problem of picking up the plane every day is the same. They all understand that nothing more than waiting for him to contact the driver and then taking you to the car. When you get on the bus, the driver will ask you to take a list of your name. He will take photos and send them to the company, and then take you to your destination. What I want to say here is that Thai people are very enthusiastic. Although it's early in the morning and the fare has been paid online, I'll help you contact the store when you get to the hotel, and I won't leave until the hotel opens. If the hotel is closed, I will help you find the doorbell or call the store. In a foreign country, a little help from others can warm strangers in the morning.

5- There is nothing to say about insurance, except that Taobao buys a daily insurance policy for overseas travel, and the price is not expensive, at least for three days. Attach a screenshot

6- Wireless Network

. Taobao rents out mobile wifi devices by the day, and the deposit is generally paid by someone in 500 yuan who asks Taobao to pay, and when someone picks up the device. The wifi signal in Thailand is average, but it consumes a lot of power. Plus my mobile phone has two charging treasures. Fortunately, the conversion head over there is the same as that in China, and no additional configuration is needed. For the last two rented pictures, Taobao pays the deposit in one lump sum, and the airport WeChat (not even supported by Alipay) pre-authorizes the payment of the deposit.

7- check into a hotel. When you arrive at the hotel, show your passport and tell you which website to find to book the hotel. The staff will find your order, and then collect the deposit (it is recommended to pay in cash, and settle it after leaving the store) and check in. Some hotels can understand Chinese and most of them speak English. When booking a hotel, pay attention to whether breakfast is included or not, and whether an extra bed is needed to take care of the children, which is similar to that in China, so I won't say much. Need to be reminded that due to the early morning arrival, it is best to contact the store by email in advance and tell the store your flight number in case the private boss doesn't live in the store and no one opens the door.

8- Traffic.

(1) ①BTS. Commonly known as "Tiantie", Bangkok has the most convenient transportation. At present, the two main routes are expensive. Adults and children can buy tickets on the same plane, or there is a manual ticket office, but the main business is to exchange small change.

② MRT. For example, in the domestic subway, there is a height measurement office next to adult ticket purchase, and children tickets need to be purchased at the manual ticket office. The price is moderate.

③ Grab. Taxi software, and there is also a sign on the taxi indicating to grab the car. After making an appointment to take an order, you can communicate simply in Chinese without reducing the price, but one problem is that it is difficult to find the other party because of language problems. I tried twice and still think taxi+Google.

The map is easy to navigate.

4 others. Motorcycles, rabbits and other languages are unreasonable, and they have to bargain. They haven't tried it. The bus doesn't know Thai, so it's not recommended.

9- Catering.

It must be said that the world is merging and the Internet has turned the world into a global village. Meituan, the public comment chose Bangkok as the city, surrounded by five-star restaurants among online celebrities, all of which were introduced and evaluated in Chinese. I feel that there is no pressure to eat delicious food in China. Food maps of several online celebrity stores.

My husband is responsible for finding food all the way. I can't even remember the name of the store. This fish tastes good.

The curry crab in Jianxing restaurant feels that curry is more delicious than crab. There was a long queue with waiters from China, the largest number in China.

Net red shrimp, delicious, I don't remember the name of the store, I can eat delicious food with my husband, and I will add my name when I come back next time.

Mango rice, delicious, authentic Thai fragrant rice is slightly sweet, mango is very fresh.

Fat shrimp as big as my son's hand, the overall feeling is that there are advantages besides big wood.

10- scenic spot.

I have been there several times, and the sights in my eyes are all major real estates. I took my son when I bought furniture, and I plan to go to the dinosaur park temporarily. The same is the ticket purchase of the US group. It is very convenient to buy and use now, and there are some Chinese staff in it. It seems that China people have been to many places, and they already have a language environment for learning Chinese.

Dinosaur Park tickets, just change the code with your mobile phone.

Dinosaur shows are all dressed up by people, very realistic and dedicated dinosaur people.

1 1- shopping+tax refund

I'm not that keen on rubber products that can be bought in Thailand, such as pillows and mattresses, and local cosmetics. All my colleagues should make a list and help buy buy buy it. There are no fakes in Thailand, but I am quite relieved. One of the most important points is the trilogy of tax refund after shopping:

Step 1: tell the store to refund the tax when checking out (the minimum amount of tax refund is 2000 baht). The store will register your passport information and give you a yellow bill and shopping list. Be sure to keep it.

Step 2: When you arrive at the airport, don't go through the security check. When you check your luggage, you need to stamp your yellow receipt at the customs refund point at the airport! Poke! Poke! Once you pass the security check, you can't come out and stamp it. If you don't stamp it, you can't get a refund. Just like you left your money at the door.

The third step is to go through the formalities at the tax refund window! The tax refund window at Don Mueang Airport is diagonally opposite the duty-free shop. You can choose RMB and Thai baht. Because Thais are slow and there are many people at the airport, partners who plan to refund taxes must go to the airport in advance.

In short, friends who go to Bangkok don't have to worry too much. After going out, the road is very wide, and sometimes I can meet many surprises when I am happy. This is also one of the pleasures of traveling.
