2. valuables, coins, certificates, etc. It should not be checked in the luggage. For the safety of your property, please lock your checked baggage.

Seats on the plane are arranged by airlines in alphabetical order of surnames, so tourists from the same company are not necessarily arranged in adjacent seats. As far as the whole plane is concerned, the team usually sits in the middle and rear of the cabin.

Singapore airport has a large area. Please pay attention to the boarding gate marked on the boarding pass when waiting, and board the plane within the specified time.

5. When boarding the plane for security check, the upper limit of liquid articles carried with you is 500ml. The security personnel may ask you to open liquid items for inspection, so it is best not to bring canned food or drinks.

Four, diet and accommodation instructions

1. If you are worried that you can't adapt to local tastes, you can bring some convenient dishes such as mustard tuber in small packages, but please don't bring meat and poultry products.

2. The standard of dining is a simple buffet or team meal, with 6-8 dishes and one soup per table. Team meals are generally spinach, tofu, scrambled eggs, fried fish and so on. And their tastes are very different from those in China. It is not recommended that you add meals in the team restaurant. First, it tastes bad, and second, the serving speed is slow.

3. If the flight is during meal time, no group meal will be arranged separately.

At present, it is the peak of tourism, and there may be queues for meals.

The tourism industry in Singapore and Malaysia is very mature, and many star-rated hotels are old, so the facilities are old.

6. If a man and a woman are single in the team, the travel society will divide the husband and wife's room. Please cooperate. If there are special requirements, increase the room difference.

7. The styles of hotel sockets in Singapore and Malaysia are different from those in China, but the housekeeping department may provide "plug-changing" borrowing service. If there are sockets in the bathroom, please note that there are 1 10V and 220V. Please check carefully before use to avoid burning electrical appliances.

5. Money, shopping and tipping.

1. You can exchange Malaysian ringgit at the tour guide, but the tour guide usually does not provide the service of exchanging ringgit for RMB. Please exchange it as needed.

There are some shopping shops during the trip. In line with the principle of freedom of shopping, please choose by yourself. If you have a shopping desire, please carefully compare the quality, price and origin of the goods before shopping. I suggest you shop carefully.

If you are interested in buying high-grade durable goods, please be sure to ask the store to issue an invoice. When the store issues an invoice in English, please make sure that the exact meaning expressed in English is consistent with the goods you buy.

I suggest you make a consumption plan in advance before you leave. Considering the liquidity and portability of currency, besides RMB, you can also carry a certain amount of US dollars.

5. When the tour guide introduces the self-funded projects to you, please ask the distinguished guests to choose the same projects for sightseeing as far as possible because of problems such as car use and dining.

6. The tip paid to the tour guide per person per day is 30 yuan/person/day.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) Traffic, health, climate and jet lag:

1. Traffic in Singapore and Malaysia keeps to the left, which is contrary to our city. When crossing the road, please follow the red and green traffic lights and take the crosswalk, especially in Malaysia.

2. Singapore has very strict regulations on the articles brought into the country. For example, chewing gum is forbidden to be brought into Singapore, and the maximum number of cigarettes brought into Singapore per person is 19.

The summer temperature in Singapore is sultry all year round, about 25 ~ 34℃. Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, is 24 ~ 32℃, but the temperature at Genting will be about 7℃ lower.

There is no time difference between Singapore, Malaysia and Beijing.

Six, Singapore and Malaysia travel safety instructions

1. Pay attention to personal safety and don't accept conversations with Chinese-speaking strangers in Thailand and Malaysia. If you need to go out during the free activities outside the travel agency's itinerary, try to be in groups of three or five, with a bag on your chest and accompanied by a tour guide.

2. valuables must be carried with you. When you get off at the scenic spot, please don't store valuables in the car.

Take care of your passport. This is your identification abroad.

4, please pay attention to prevent slippery when using the bathroom, so as not to fall.

Please don't quit the group without permission. In addition to the tour fee charged by the ground agency, the travel agency will not be responsible for any accident caused by tourists leaving the group without authorization.

Seven, the new Matai tourism matters needing attention:

1. When leaving or entering the country, there may be many tourists going through the formalities at the same time, so there will be a long queue and waiting. This situation may also occur during travel, such as dining, sightseeing, waiting for a boat, waiting for a bus, staying in a hotel, etc. Please consider the above objective reality and give your understanding and support.

2. Due to the differences in culture, education and growth environment, the explanations, expressions, services and behaviors of tour guides in different countries will be quite different from your imagination.

I need to take many international flights and drive for a long time during the journey, which is very tiring and tiring. Especially on the first and last day of the tour, they were all late flights and could not sleep normally. So please pay attention to "combining leisure and entertainment" and have more rest.

Pay attention to the assembly time and don't be late, so as not to keep other VIPs waiting.

For the sake of safety and convenience, the first row of coach is the working seat of tour guide and tour leader. Please take your seats from the second row.

6. According to international practice, the travel agency will not bear the losses and responsibilities caused by force majeure.

Eight, pay attention to the thief:

When traveling, there is a lot of mobility, thieves are everywhere, and robbery also happens from time to time. So cash, cameras, jewelry and other valuables must be carried with you. Watch out for robbers behind you when you walk. Be sure to take valuables with you when you leave the hotel. If you lose something, the guest must be conceited. Places prone to theft are: stations, airports, restaurants, hotels and other public places.

Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia all have jewelry shopping spots: Thailand is red and sapphire; Singapore is an emerald; Malaysia is a black gem. It must stand the persuasion of the shopping guide, but it is not recommended to buy it. Because someone in the last group bought rusty Thai jewelry, emeralds are artificially processed natural stones, which is what people in the group told me.

Thailand station:

(1) L 'Oré al has set up a factory in Thailand, and the price is two-thirds cheaper than that in China. Facial cleanser only costs 105 baht (because the exchange rate is better, it only costs 2 1 yuan to exchange with UnionPay).

Shopping location: The duty-free shop marked King power at Bangkok Airport can save another 50-500 baht if you buy a certain amount with discount coupons.

Shopping time: When Thailand went to Singapore to join the group, there was enough time because there was more than one hour.

(2) Wucentipede Zhike Pills, Coconut Peanut Candy, and Monkey Peach Standard Baiyao Oil.

Shopping location: On the way back to Thailand from Pattaya, I passed the wholesale point of Tute Factory, and asked the tour guide to give me more time. The tour group "sings" time.

Shopping tip: Thai things are the cheapest in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia, so although it is important to buy food here first, tow it away with a trailer.

(3) Thai skirts and pants.

Shopping location: Golden Sand Island, Pattaya.

Shopping tip: Pattaya has a low price, and there are many items here, so you can bargain. 100 baht for a pair of trousers, 150 baht can be used to make a suit, and can be used as pajamas for relatives and friends in summer. Features: different, cool to wear. If you don't take part in water sports, you will have enough time to buy.

(4) Pattaya shopping spots: Triumph, Wagner underwear, Tess scarf, tight group time, only had time to buy one or two.

(5) Shopping centers in Bangkok: Levis and Lee.

Tips: If you are very familiar with Bangkok or have friends leading the way in Thailand and like this kind of brand, go out and buy it yourself the night before you leave Bangkok.

(6) Duty-free shops in Thailand airport: BABALLY, Disney watches, Chinese cigarettes and foreign wine are recommended, and some colleagues bought them during the connecting flight. The whole trip passes through Thailand three times, so don't bring it before you start playing that day. For the second time, it took a long time for Thailand to transfer to Singapore, but there are restrictions on taking tobacco and alcohol in Singapore, so you can't buy it. You have to wait until the return trip to buy it. The third time was when I passed the connecting flight, because the connecting flight time was very short. If you want to buy one or two, you must recognize the boarding gate and run the plane when you buy it!

Singapore:

Tips: The trip to Thailand and Singapore lasts only one afternoon, and the next morning is two and a half days. In fact, Singapore is the most suitable for self-demonstration, and not a day is enough. You can buy Qinglong oil here, but you can buy it in Malaysia. If you suggest going to Little India, Orchard Road, Chinatown, Bar Street, etc. It is very distinctive and can only be visited with a group.

Malaysia:

(1) Tin ware. Royal Selangor.

Shopping location: duty-free shop in Malaysia.

Tip: Malaysia is a tin producer, and the quality of tin is quite good. This is a precious souvenir. Moreover, tin can keep fresh and is beneficial to human body. The above brands were originally produced for the royal family, so they are more expensive. Accept Malaysian ringgit, RMB and VISA cards. The RMB payment exchange rate is about 2.33. It's better than the tour guide's exchange of 2.4, but it's more expensive than UnionPay's 2. 13, but UnionPay is not accepted here, and VISA needs a handling fee.

(2) Li Qian Zhuifeng Oil and "Malaysian Ginseng" Dongge Ali. A thousand miles of chasing wind oil, recommended by colleagues. East brother Ali is too expensive, so you can buy it or not.

(3) Body Shop. There are both new horses and new horses, and Singapore may not be able to see them because of the tight time. There are two places in Malaysia's itinerary: Genting, before boarding at the airport and the duty-free station. I bought a lip balm made in England, which is delicious. Because the body shop doesn't accept UnionPay and doesn't buy body lotion, it doesn't feel cheap. Wait until Hong Kong to have a look. Only Shanghai has it, but Guangzhou doesn't!

Things to prepare for shopping in Singapore:

1, UnionPay card or credit card: To the surprise of many shoppers, UnionPay card can be used in Singapore. UnionPay cards or credit cards are necessary to avoid the trouble of exchange and exchange rate losses.

2, big suitcase: don't think that you only need to bring a big suitcase to Hong Kong. There are many good things in Singapore, even a big suitcase may burst.

3. Comfortable and light casual clothes and shoes: Although Singapore is small, there are many places worth visiting. Coupled with the hot climate, people all over the street are comfortable and can wear whatever they want.

4. Sunscreen equipment: Singapore is famous for its pure sky and bright sunshine, so sunscreen and parasols must be put in the suitcase.
