You can change money at the Bank of China, but not every day there is Thai baht. You should make an appointment in advance. When you have it, the bank will call you, or you can deposit RMB in UnionPay card. ATMs in all parts of Thailand can withdraw cash at any time, and you can also get a Huaxia bank card, which is free. The handling fee of CCB is very high and uneconomical. Also, remember not to change cash at the airport. The exchange rate is low enough to be found in the subway station. Sometimes it will be 4. High exchange rate of 6!

Medicine: just bring some standing ones, which can be bought locally, but if you fail the language test, you'd better bring them yourself! Bring a bottle of anti-mosquito medicine! Mosquitoes there are as big as fighter planes!

Others: There are only two plugs in the local plug, so if your electronic equipment has three plugs, remember to bring a converter. If you are really worried about eating and drinking, you can bring some pickles or something! I suggest you buy some toiletries locally, so you don't need to bring them back from China. They are too heavy, and they are very cheap locally. We bought a small bottle of Pan Ting shampoo 15 baht, and the minimum package of washing powder is 6 baht, which has not been used up for 20 days!

A plane ticket.

To go to Asia, such as Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and other places, recommend the plane of Asian Airlines. China has flights from Tianjin, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Guilin, Macau and Hong Kong, which can be booked in official website. Every year, special fares are launched irregularly, with the lowest price in 0 yuan. Of course, it is difficult to get them, depending on whether you are lucky or not, but it doesn't matter if you can't get them.

Second, the specific details of each place

Bangkok

stay

Because Gaoshan Road is a backpacker's world, natural accommodation is more economical. After all, we are poor tourists, so in terms of accommodation, careful planning is the primary task. There are several levels of accommodation here, ranging from a star-rated hotel with around 2000 baht to a bathroom with 50 baht. It depends on your choice. There are billboards everywhere that say guest house. You can choose several rooms to consult the price. Basically 150 to 300 is a good choice, and cleanliness is inevitable. On the first night, we chose a 700 baht one, which was really expensive at that time, but after converting the exchange rate, we found that one person only shared 77 yuan equally.

Diving:

Many tourists come to Thailand to learn diving, and we are no exception. Let me give you a brief introduction. Diving in Thailand usually chooses to go to Kameyama (Daodao) to study. There are many PADI schools. After obtaining professional certificates, you can go diving all over the world and continue your studies in any school. Some students will be given a 20% discount for further study. Thailand has many beautiful islands, but Kameyama is the best place for diving, so we

On Gaoshan Road, there are many local agents who can help you book a diving school. You can ask more questions I selectively chose an agent who speaks the best English and negotiated a big price with a honey trap (not me). Later, we will introduce this agent. We chose the best five-star diving school class in Kameyama, and equipped with coach China. That's all that matters. Our English is not very good, and it is completely barrier-free to learn diving, especially my English. The most important thing is that I can stay at school for four nights for free, which makes us very happy. We saved a lot of accommodation, and the diving fee was * * * 9800 baht, which was much cheaper than Hainan. We only need to pay 50% of the fee at the agency, and the rest can be handed over to the school after learning to dive. In addition, you have to pay photos and photo fees when you graduate. If you bring your own, you don't need this fee, and most importantly, after we booked the diving school from the agent, the toll from Bangkok to Kameyama is only 300 baht, which is cheap. If we buy this road ourselves, the cost will be 900 baht. We can take a double-decker bus from Bangkok to Peng Chun for one night, and then take a boat for three hours. It's really a good deal to spend 300 baht on such a long journey, not to mention that we stayed on the bus for one night.

Attractions:

Bangkok has many scenic spots. After all, it is the capital. I recommend some that I personally think are good for your reference!

One is a must-see water market. There are three floating markets in Bangkok, and the largest one is more than 2 hours' drive from Bangkok. You can find a travel agency (like a diving agent). Every travel company has these services, such as booking a bus ticket and a one-day trip to Bangkok. ), and they will provide bus transportation, with attractions such as the Grand Palace! The cost is around 1000 baht! However, this floating market is the most prosperous and commercial, and it is completely open to tourists. It has basically become a commercial street, just on the water. Because of the tight time, we chose the nearest one to Bangkok, which can be reached by car 10 minutes. This water world is the oldest and most primitive one in the local area, and the bus fare is incredibly expensive, with a distance of 18. This floating market provides some chartering services. A tourist costs three hours 100 baht, including watching crocodiles. We are not interested. Three hours is too long, so we choose to be happy and eat all the interesting food in the whole market. Here, be sure to attach pictures and prices!

30 baht 150 baht 7.

There are about six kebabs 15, freshly squeezed juice 15, a box of candy 20, and fat sausage tofu 30.

After eating and drinking enough, we are going to take a picture under the monument to show our sincerity in coming again. At this time, the story came. The lovely police uncle came over and asked us if we wanted to take a group photo. He helped us and we were shocked. The police uncle here is so kind and enthusiastic. After we politely refused, we saw an aunt buy a lot of flowers and plants, but she couldn't take them away. The police uncle stepped forward immediately. After that, we had to cross the road with our marching bags on our backs to find a bus stop. This handsome policeman got off the bus again to help us stop passing cars. Oh, great, in sharp contrast to our police comrades!

We focus on this. Tickets are surprisingly cheap, 50 baht, which is actually not big, but just watching the reclining Buddha is really spectacular. I bought 20 baht change in it and put it in each bowl. As a result, I didn't know the local rules, so I threw it everywhere. I feel very sorry! There is also a magical place here, that is, you can learn thai massage from monks, commonly known as Zhengmu. The course lasts about a week. Please check the LP book for specific expenses!

Four-faced Buddha: This is the focus of my trip to Thailand. It is said that this kind of Buddha is very effective, also called induction Buddha. If you make a wish to him and realize it, you must come back here in two years to realize it. This is what local overseas Chinese told us. We took a taxi from Chinatown for 70 baht. This Buddha is in the downtown area, next to the Hyatt Hotel. Because there are Buddha statues all around, it is called the four-faced Buddha. The fragrance is very strong. You can buy it. The transportation cost in Bangkok is still relatively high. The price of TUTU car is the same as that of taxi, and the charging standard of bus is incredible, but personally, I think the bus driver's ticket purchasing tools are very bright! If there are many people, I suggest you take a taxi. If there are few people, it is better to travel by bus. Besides, the subway in Bangkok is very expensive. We took a bus from downtown to the airport and changed to the airport express. * * * I went twice and spent 65 baht!

Turtle Island and Nanyuan Island:

The consumption on the island is relatively high, I mean food! After all, everything must be shipped from land, but you must never fish along the coast, which will destroy the fish. Diving is the main thing here, and fish must not be touched!

In addition, no matter where you go on the island, you must take off your shoes as long as it is indoors! !

stay

We stayed on the island for eight days, stayed in a free hotel for four days and stayed in a different place for the other four days. It can be said that we feel all kinds of customs on the island. In fact, the island is very small, and the resources on the island are relatively scarce, so some guest houses are cold baths. If you want hot water, you must pay for it. Rooms are also divided into fan rooms and ice room air-conditioned rooms. I explained it to you specially, because I was laughed at for not knowing what the fan room meant and was mistaken for Japan. I share this painful and tragic experience with you, remember to take a warning. Actually, it's not that I don't know what FAN ROOM means, but that I'm confused by Thai English pronunciation. The other party thinks I don't know English, so he waved and said, Tokyo, I know TMD! Generally speaking, the price of rooms on the island also varies greatly, generally around 400. There is usually hot water at this price, but the price of 300 is basically not, but it doesn't matter. Taking a cold bath is a cool thing, so we can try it bravely. We chose the second floor of the garage, which is extremely clean, quiet and beautiful. One night in 400 yuan, 200 yuan alone. After two days, we chose a single-family wooden house.

Transportation:

There is no need to stay on the island that long. You can go directly to Koh Samui to learn diving well, or you can go to other islands. There are boats going to Kameyama twice a day. There are two kinds of boats in the morning and afternoon, one is more luxurious, the other is smaller, older and the price is much lower. There are many small shops on the dock to write the price on the blackboard, which is cheaper, as long as 250 to 300, if you are at the ticket booth on the dock. It really makes no difference. Cheap boats are full of backpackers, and there will be many interesting things. In the photo taken when we left the island, no one was honestly staying in the cabin, but all were on the deck, sleeping, sunbathing, drinking beer, dancing, reading and listening to music. In short, it was a lively and turbulent scene. I sat on the deck for three hours. Ha ha!

We chose Nanyuan Island, which is the most beautiful shallow water point. This island is very small. It only takes half an hour from Kamei Island. There are about five extremely beautiful shallow spots between them. Shallow, of course, not diving. This trip was booked by an agent in Kamei Island, including all shallow equipment, free lunch, fruit, coffee, tea, 100 tickets to the island, totaling 65 * *. This island is really beautiful. A Singaporean businessman bought it for his Thai wife. With such a beautiful love story, it naturally adds a bit of romance to this island. We tough guys, like foreigners, jumped into the water without any life-saving equipment, because we didn't need it at all, and we were happy to see sharks. This is a very wonderful part. China and his wife, who were in the same boat, not only wore life jackets, but also came down from the ladder without any man's strength. I'm only three points shallow. I'm too tired to go into the sea. Alas, I am helpless. The most perfect ending of this trip is that when we changed from a big ship to a speedboat, half of the foreigners chose to swim back. To show that I am also a hero, especially a hero from China, I swam back together. To tell you the truth, I regret it by half. Fortunately, I was brave to the end!

traffic

There are several options for transportation, motorcycle, beach cross-country motorcycle, this is very cool, four wheels, the fee is charged by the day, all need passport registration, the price is not the same, you can ask the local company to decide!

There are also taxis on the island, usually from the center of the island to the pier. The price is 50 baht. If you book a plane ticket back to Bangkok at the travel agency, they will take you to the pier for free. The taxi is a big pickup truck. To tell the truth, this kind of car is really cool, and it is much more spiritual than domestic pickup trucks. Usually there are 6 to 8 people in the back and 2 to 3 people in the car, but I usually sit in the back. Remember to hold on tight

Eat:

There are basically two kinds of hotels on the island, one is western food, the other is Thai food, some have both, and there are Mexican and Italian restaurants with different prices. This is also determined according to everyone's taste. The general price is around 100 per meal. Hotels near the mountain have lower prices, while hotels along the coast have higher prices. If you have access to the Internet, you can give priority to hotels that provide free WIFI, which is also good. We often go to the seaside, the price is very low, a meal is only about 50 yuan, and drinks are 30 yuan, but I don't like the taste, so every time I go, I just order drinks, sit by the sea, blow the sea breeze, watch handsome guys and surf the Internet. Oh, how beautiful! You can check the menus displayed at the entrance of each hotel before deciding whether to choose! They all have good attitudes!

The seaside hotel has free WIFI.

There are 7- 1 1 all over the island. You can buy anything, such as shampoo, food and drinks. It is natural that the price is more expensive than that in the mainland. The most we buy are homemade hot dogs, cucumber slices and tomato slices are stuffed. The price varies with hot dogs, ranging from 35 to 42, if you eat enough.

Chiang Mai:

Oh, that's the point. I like it here. If I go to Thailand again, I want to stay here for a long time! Teresa Teng died here. It is said that the hotel where she died left the room intact for people to visit, and some fans rented it and stayed in it for one night. It's horrible! What an obsessed fan!

What's good about Chiang Mai? Low price, comfortable, quiet, comfortable and lazy. It's a good place for meditation! There are all kinds of magical shops in the street. In our words, it is called a petty bourgeoisie store. What they sell is very strange. Only you can't think of them. We found several interesting shops, but unfortunately they were all running around non-stop, because time was really tight!

The agent who booked diving on Gaoshan Road in Bangkok booked a three-day and three-night trip to Chiang Mai, plus the double-decker bus from Bangkok to Chiang Mai *** 1700 baht, which is really a good price. That's what I said before. The honey trap is out again. The three-day and three-night itinerary includes two days of mountain climbing, elephant riding, bamboo rafting, kayaking, waterfalls and swimming for three days. Oh, we think we got a big bargain. In fact, this price is basically the same in Chiang Mai! In particular, you need to book a trip with the agent, and it is best to go early in the morning, so that you can leave your luggage there, transfer in Bangkok during the day, come back before 6 o'clock, and basically leave at 7 o'clock. This will not delay anything, and you will have one more day to play. Don't waste time on the road. Try to walk long distances at night, which will not delay the play and save accommodation.
