Thailand, as a world-renowned tourist destination, busy crowds and rich nightlife are often the first impressions that Thailand gives. But Thailand has become a popular resort in the world. It is not only that. Thailand has the most beautiful beaches, gorgeous Buddhist temples, rich cultural heritage and delicious snacks with good quality and low price. Travelers can freely choose their favorite way to test Thailand. Let’s take a look at 9 guides you should know when traveling to Thailand!
Thailand is definitely one of the most beautiful countries in the world, and it is a must-visit place for fledgling tourists. Just like other beautiful countries in the world, Thailand has a lesser side. As long as you know what must be done and what should be avoided, I believe you will be able to have a good time in this beautiful country.
1. Backpackers Bangkok Good places
avoid: Bangkok Khao San Road (Khao San) is known as backpackers paradise, has always been the first choice for foreign tourists – full of cheap bars, messy accommodation and a large group of tourists wearing Thai wide pants. Although Kaoshan Road is safe, consumed and cheap, if you only stay in Kaoshan Road, you will definitely miss most of the beauty of this city.
Suggestions: Sukhumvit and Siam Square (Siam Square) are good choices. You can consider the booming Phra Khanong or the latest gathering place for backpackers, Soi Ngam Duphli. A better way is to find a local residence on Airbnb or Couchsurfing to appreciate the beautiful city from a local perspective. The Ari District, which literary youths love to visit, has many good Airbnb room types in addition to the specialty cafe.
2. Thai taxi
avoidance: accepting drivers’ price, often the sky-high price for drivers to blackmail tourists.
Suggestion: Please stick to the By Meter method. It is illegal for the driver to refuse. If the driver still refuses, immediately recruit one until you find a driver who is willing to make a meter.
3. Thai nightlife
avoid: Table Tennis Show (6996 Adult Show). I should not explain it, everyone is clear that the table tennis show is one of the popular adult shows in Bangkok, Phuket and Pattaya . The danger is that you will be cheated. The usual method is to invite you to the bar upstairs and then be forced to pay bills with a very high consumption amount.
Suggestions: Watch Thailand’s most eye-catching performances, such as the Siam Angel Theater that tells Thai mythology, the exciting Muay Thai show, or the Roman Palace Theater Shemale Show in Pattaya.
4. Thai shopping instructions
avoid: the price killing is too low, which may attract the store to be treated with.
suggestion: Before you can save the price, preset the ideal price in your heart. The price cut in Bangkok is generally 20%-30% less. Of course, you can also try some common tricks to save prices, such as shopping around, not showing off your desire to buy, or even leaving directly. If you find that you are still struggling with the difference between a few dollars of Thai baht in the end, just compromise! Time is money.
5. Thailand tourist guide
avoid: At will, believe in the wrong information provided by merchants. One of the common frauds in Bangkok is to tell tourists that some well-known tourist attractions such as Bangkok Grand Palace or Reclining Buddha Temple has been closed, and then provide a guide to tuk tuk.
Suggestion: The easiest way is of course not to believe them. If you want to visit Bangkok, there are actually many other options. You can visit Bangkok in depth by bike, or take a food adventure on the tip of Bangkok and taste authentic Thai food. Or come to Koh Kret Island for a day trip on a bicycle, and experience ceramic creations and desserts.
6. Interact with elephants
avoid: Sometimes you will see elephants being taken to tourist sites to parade in order to get tourists out of their pockets to buy food to feed elephants. Never do this, as this will only nourish the long-standing elephant abuse problem in Thailand.
Suggestion: Choose a reliable elephant training center. These options include a wildlife base in Beitai where elephant rescue and care, Boon Lott’s Elephant Sanctuary, which shelters or retires elephants, or Green Mountain Safari near Pattaya, to get close to these friendly herds.
7. Pattaya Pattaya Good place
avoid: a place for sensuality in Pattaya.
Suggestions: Visit Pattaya's well-known beautiful beaches, gorgeous performance shows and nearby attractions. Don't miss the famous Sanctuary of Truth, the award-winning private garden cultural village East Guapark or the wonderful shemale show like the Tiffany Shemale Show and the Roman Palace Theatre Shemale Show. You can also take your children to Cartoon Network Water Park or 3D three-dimensional art gallery. Those who want to seek excitement can try taking a small plane and swimming over the beautiful Pattaya.
8. Phuket Phuket Good Place
avoid: a crowded and messy tourist attraction, yes I'm talking about Patong District. If you are not a person who likes Fishing Nightlife, you'd better stay away from certain parts of Patong.
Suggestions: Choose some nearby and quieter beachside like Hat Tri-Triang, or take a speedboat to a nearby paradise-like island for a day trip. Smilan Islands, Tachai Island and Emperor Island all have the most amazing superficial points in Thailand. Walking inland, a world full of adventure awaits every player who is ready to move. From 50 meters above the jungle lake, ziplines to watching the tropical rainforests to four-wheel drive off-road vehicle jungle adventures, you can all give you the most exciting experience.
9. Chiang Mai Chiang Mai good place
avoid: Looking forward to a crazy shopping trip. Chiang Mai is not like other tourist attractions in Thailand, with various large department stores. At most, visit the Sunday market in Chiang Mai, or the Big C, a large shopping mall some distance from the city.
Suggestion: When you come to Chiang Mai, you can choose different day trips according to your preferences. Like the incredibly beautiful white temples and black houses in Chiang Rai , enjoy different artistic buildings in one day. Or try to learn Thai cooking and start by visiting local markets to experience the local culture and food. If you want to find a more exciting experience, Crazy Horse Rock Climbing will be a good choice. It is guided by a professional coach. You will soon become an independent rock climber when you are just starting out.
