The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and many friends in China are even going to Southeast Asia to travel directly. Please see a netizen’s travel guide to Thailand.
Tips before traveling to Thailand:
1. Thailand's climate, Thailand belongs to a tropical monsoon climate. The three seasons of the year are hot season (February to May), rainy season (May to October) and cool season (November to January of the following year)
For travel, it is best to go to Thailand from November to March. I went to the end of April and early May. I was invincible in Bangkok and Pattaya. I almost dared to go out at noon, and my eyes couldn't open when I went out. I must have sunglasses. When I arrived at Phuket , the rainy season just entered. It rained regularly every morning, but it may be due to the island, and the sun may appear quickly after the storm, but it may also be raining again immediately after the sun comes out. I don't know if the rainy season is like this in Bangkok, but if you are traveling to the island during the rainy season, be prepared to get wet all day. It is recommended to wear bikini and small skirt every day.
2. Currency exchange
Methods to not want to suffer losses:
1 exchange the Thai baht in China, Bank of China can be exchanged, and you need to make an appointment 2 days in advance, but you may encounter a situation where the bank says there is no Thai baht not to exchange (evil foreign exchange control!)
2 Only when you take US dollars to Thailand to exchange money. The exchange rate of US dollars is similar everywhere, which is more cost-effective.
3 is used to withdraw money from UnionPay on the ATM in Thailand. It will be converted to Thai baht at today's international exchange rate, but each transaction will be charged 0.5% (the minimum is RMB 10, but RMB 10 is already 50 baht, which is not very low). However, there is no handling fee for swiping cards in places with UnionPay logo.
ps: Go there to exchange foreign exchange, US dollars, Hong Kong dollars, RMB,
3. Visa
I felt very troublesome to get a visa myself last time. This time I decided to hand it over to the travel agency for the purpose of this. It is convenient and fast. You only need to give two two-inch white photos and a passport. If you are afraid it is too expensive, you can go to Taobao to see it and you may find a low-priced visa with high-quality services. Sometimes, in order to attract tourists, Thailand will be exempt from visa fees. For details, you can pay attention to the official website of the Thai Embassy in China
4. Time difference
0 Thailand time is one hour slower than Beijing time
5. Language
Of course, English travels all over the world, but Bangkok's English is really bad, which makes me feel overwhelmed with confidence in English. So before going out, you must prepare the destination Thai , and you can ask the hotel people to help write it on paper. I checked it with the iPad the night before, because there are all the information in the iPad, so I carry it every day. However, there is almost no English on Phuket , and there is no problem with communication.
6. Accommodation
Personally, I have relatively high requirements for hotels, so I chose a hotel for a long time, but when I went to Thailand, I found that the hotels in Thailand are actually very good and have a high cost performance. The main thing is to choose a good location to facilitate your travel plans. There are too many hotels in Bangkok. If you don’t have to hurry to book a room in advance if you don’t have to hurry to go there.
There are many guest houses for backpackers in Thailand, but I have never stayed there. I don’t know what comparisons there are besides the cheaper price. You can check other information, I can’t give you any comments. But if you want to experience the hustle and bustle of Khaosan Road , you can also consider staying for one night at Khaosan Road guesthouse, but the guesthouse there is relatively expensive.
It seems that all hotels in Thailand have wifi, but the speed difference is quite big. If you have a big demand for wifi, remember to see how fast the wifi speed is when booking a room and reading the comments.
helped everyone find a Bangkok accommodation website, which is very comprehensive, but it will be dazzling. If you are really afraid of trouble, please ask me (I have lived in Bangkok, Pattaya , Phuket Pattaya Beach , Emperor Island ), the several rooms I live in are pretty good and affordable. I'm talking about the troublesome thing and I won't talk about it here.
7. Communication Thailand area code is: 66 China area code is: 86
Mobile: Global Connect: China Global Connect users can use their mobile phones in Thailand. It is 5 yuan/minute to make local calls, 6 yuan/minute to answer calls, 13 yuan/minute to make domestic calls, and 2 yuan to send short messages.
Local phone card: There are three types of Thai mobile phone SIM cards: one-2-call card, Happy card and True card. They are all one-way charges. There is no difference between long-distance local calls in Thailand. You can still answer the pre-storage phone bill of 0.
1one-2-call card: SIM card sells for 300 baht, including 300 baht phone bill, which is equivalent to free number delivery. During the 5:00-17:00 time period, the domestic telephone fee is 1 baht per call (unlimited time); during the 17:00-5:00 time period, the fee is 1 baht per minute. Call China Long Distance (Oversea): 008 (or 009) + 86+ number (land phone area code required), 7 baht/min. Send text messages costs 11 baht.
2happy card: 99 baht per card, including 35 baht. If you call China, you will get an additional 009, and the fee for returning to China is 7 baht per minute. There is no time period for making local calls, it is 1 baht/minute.
3True card: 99 baht per card, including 30 baht. The cheapest way to get back to China is to use 30 seconds as the billing unit, and the additional 009 is allocated to China, which is less than 6 baht per minute.
Postage: Send a postcard to return to China for 15 baht.
8. Transportation
Thailand's transportation is very complicated. The transportation between Thailand includes aviation, railways, long-distance buses, and mini buses nearer cities. The internal transportation of each place includes buses, taxis, tuk-tuk (TUK-TUK), water transportation and rail transit in Bangkok. It can be said to be complicated, among which airlines, railways, long-distance buses, buses, and taxis are no different from domestic transportation. The specific situation is best for you to search online on the same day. Each hotel has wifi, just use your mobile phone to search. One thing to remind you is that the delay in Thailand's railways is extremely serious, and it is absolutely no problem to delay two hours. If the time is tight, don't consider it.
I especially want to tell you the quick way to get from Bangkok to surrounding cities (such as Pattaya and Ayutthaya). Take BTS to the Victory Monument Station, where there are minibuses to various places, just under the overpass. Just go there and ask people. The price of rides here is very cheap and air conditioning. The departure time is fast. One car will be set off. It is the most convenient transportation I feel in Thailand.
Pattaya transportation (why do you need to make special instructions? The main reason is that this place is priced randomly and is easily slaughtered, so it is a must-see for free travel)
1 Pattaya Bus Station:
Pattaya Bus Station is located in the center of Pattaya. The TuTu bus at the entrance of the station only needs 20 Taizhuang to anywhere in the city. Pattaya is located 147 kilometers southeast of Bangkok and is connected by expressways. It is very convenient to get from Bangkok to Pattaya, about 2 hours' drive away, and there are three routes to choose from:
Bangkok East Line Bus Terminal: Air-conditioned buses are from 6:00 to 20:30 every day, and one bus every half hour, and the last bus is 22:00. The return bus in Pattaya starts from Regent Marina Hotel on Beach Road, from 6:00 to 20:00, and every half hour, with the last bus at 21:00. Ticket price: 90-128 baht one way, 180-240 baht round trip.
Bangkok North Line Bus Terminal: One train every day from 6:00 to 18:00, and one hour will be departing. The return bus departs from Regent Marina Hotel, from 6:00 to 18:00, and takes one hour. Ticket price: 90-128 baht one way, 180-240 baht round trip.
Bangkok Airport Air-conditioned bus: The airport departs at 9:00, 12:00 and 19:00 respectively. The return bus departs from Alcazar Unity at 6:30, 13:00 and 18:00. Fare: 150 baht one way. Reservations can be made from the Thai Airways Airport Office or the Royal Cliff Hotel in Pattaya.
Private air-conditioned bus: that is, the minibus mentioned above at the Victory Monument Station.
2 Beach Bus (I haven't taken it before, but for the sake of strategy integrity, I'll find it to you online, don't praise me for the great
)
Pattaya Beach Bus has three routes, namely green, red and yellow, covering the main roads of Pattaya Beach and Jomtien Beach. The station sign corresponds to the line color and is easy to identify.
Running time: 6:00-2:00 am
Ticket price: Three routes are available, one-way tickets are 30 baht, daily tickets are 90 baht, three-day tickets are 180 baht, and monthly tickets are 900 baht. Tickets are available in most hotels and supermarkets.
3 Manned minivan (TukTuk)
rear carriage is equipped with two rows of chairs to sit on people. It is the main means of transportation in the city, and its operation mode is between buses and taxis. You can stop immediately if you wave to the driver. If you go there, you can get on the bus on the driver's scheduled route. The ticket price is usually 10 baht. When you get off, press the bell on the roof to notify the driver. If there are no passengers on the bus, you can discuss with the driver if you don’t have a good way, and you can deliver it to the destination for 20-30 baht. Don’t dare to bargain, because the price of tuktuk drivers is usually 100 to 200 baht, which is a damn person. If you can’t help but treat it as a tip for others 80 yuan.
What you need to pay attention to is that most of the streets in Pattaya are single-street. The driving direction of Pattaya Beach Avenue is from south to north, while Pattaya Second Avenue is exactly the opposite. Be sure to figure out the location and direction when riding the bus to avoid taking the wrong bus.
4 Cruise boats
Yachts and ferries are the main means of sea transportation to Shamei Island and Coral Island . It takes about 100-150 baht to take a ferry to Samet Island and Coral Island. The price of renting a yacht for one day is around 1,000 baht.
5Other
Walking tour of Pattaya City only takes 1 hour. The city is narrow and long in shape, and most of the roads in the city are named after numbers. There are mainly two main roads that look at the city in the north and south directions: Pattaya Beach Avenue and Pattaya Second Avenue. The east-west roads are very short, and the numbers are arranged from north to south, so you will generally not get lost.
9. Catering
There may be several delicious stores online, but if you waste your travel time to find these stores, I think it is not worth it, because the Thai things (THAI FOOD) are delicious, and the taste is mainly sweet, sour and spicy, and they are all very cheap (except Phuket). When you arrive in Thailand, you must implement the system of eating less and eating more meals and try everything. If you really can’t eat anything, you won’t waste much, because Thailand doesn’t have much portion. The following are some delicious and special foods, especially the English name.
Tom Yum Gong Soup: TOM YUM KUNG
Tom Yum Gong is a soup base, with many different methods, including powder, noodles, Tom Yum Gong Coconut Soup, etc.
Mango Sticky Rice: MANGO STICKY RICE
Very magical rice, you can buy it at many small stalls, but you can't find it at a more formal restaurant.
Pineapple rice: PINEAPPLE RICE
I have also eaten it in China, but it is much more fragrant there! !
Thai fried noodles: PHAT THAI
There is a kind of noodles that I forgot what it is called, and the noodles fried with kale are delicious and sweet and fragrant.
Banana: This is about various ways to make bananas, all of which are delicious, such as banana shake (smoothie), banana juice, banana pancake, etc.
This is banana pancake! ! There are banana milk pancake, chocolate pancake, mix fruit pancake, etc.. Super delicious
lobster: LOBSTER
various ways to make lobsters, with sauce, it’s invincible! ! ! I ate for three nights! Three ways to do it. They are all delicious, so everyone order it casually! Just lobster!
BBQ:
This I ate the best in a very feel shop near the Phuket Town hotel! Very delicious! You can discover the others, but later when I ate in another store, the meat was too old and almost didn't eat it.
10. Tips
Massage: Depending on the service quality or professional level of the masseur, about 50 to 100 yuan, about 50 to 100 yuan,
Jungle riding elephant: pay elephant trainer about 50 yuan,
Take photos with shemale: 40 to 100 yuan, each person per time
Luggage tip: One room is about 20 yuan,
Bedside tip: One room is about 20 yuan,
Summary: Be sure to prepare the money, go to the bar to buy wine, watch performances, or take photos with shemale. They all draw a picture of the money you take out as a tip. The speed of the draw is so fast that you can't react to how much money he has taken. If there are many 500 or 1000 yuan in it, you will be a tragedy.In addition, many people usually don’t like to find money when buying things or paying for meals, unless you specifically remind them. Of course, if you want to find a lot of things, they will of course look for them. If you have 20 baht, you may not care about you. Although it seems that there is no money, it will still lose a lot of money if you spend too many times.
11. Taboos
Thais are not used to shaking hands with others and saying hello. Basically, they use to greet each other
to respect the gods in the temple, put their hands on their heads and bow to each other, and then put their hands on their chests and bow to each other. As for the hands on their hands to the bottom of their chests and the middle of their abdomen, they express their condolences to the deceased.
The people's respect for the royal family is always in the first place and do not make jokes about the royal family at will.
People also respect monks very much. Women should not touch monks. When meeting, you should avoid walking.
You must take off your shoes when entering the temple and have a respectful attitude.
Do not touch other people's heads at will, nor do you use "foot" to refer to people or objects
Thailand prohibits gambling, so you cannot play cards or play mahjong in hotels
Water cannot be drunk raw, durian cannot be brought into hotels or airports
If girls are used to wearing vests, they must prepare salons or coats. Many temples and palaces require that their shoulders be exposed, and some even require that they wear skirts
Photos are strictly prohibited inside the palace, and whether there are flashing lights is the same!
adult shows are strictly prohibited from taking photos. If the photos are found, the camera will be forced to format, or the negatives will be drawn.
Reclining Buddha Temple can take photos inside, but the flash light is disabled.

2. This trip (4 days bangkok + 1 day pattaya + 5 days phuket)
DAY1:
Content summary: Arrive late at night
23:55~1:55 from guangzhou to bangkok
After arriving at the airport: enter (filter the entry card), get your luggage, change Thai baht, take a free phone card true card, Bangkok tourist map, and take a taxi to the negative floor to return to the hotel.
:1 to exchange for Thai baht, it’s enough to use it for your meal and late-night snacks, but it’s still a little cheaper to exchange money in other places.
2 Friends who arrived late at night, no one came out to deliver a phone card for free at this time. You can find the store of true company that you can get. Don’t be embarrassed to speak.
3-table is actually quite safe. There is a dedicated staff responsible for handing over you and the taxi driver. Then there is a note with the information of the taxi driver, license plate number, the place where you go Thai, etc. If you encounter any problems, don’t be nervous. Just call and ask according to the phone on the paper.
4 Attached the guide to filling out an entry card
DAY2:
Content summary: Bangkok shopping
Sleep until 12 o'clock, and it was so sunny that it couldn't be done at noon, so I sorted out the itinerary in the room and suddenly found a big city near Bangkok (the new itinerary of day4 was born from this)!
Starting from the hotel in the afternoon, I walked along Sukhunyi Road to the commercial street. It was very big and there were many things to visit. It was probably impossible to spend in two days. It was recommended that you think about what to buy in advance, or you can reserve two days to stay in Bangkok to go shopping. A department store shopping map is attached here. It brings together Gay Sorn Plaza, Central World Plaza, Siam Area, Marboon Klong Shopping Center, Emporium, etc.
Recommended: Buy NaRaYa
in Japan and Taiwan called "Bangkok Bag" or "Stewardess Bag". This bag is cute and lightweight and easy to store, and is affordable. Whether you use it yourself or make souvenirs! !
As for where to buy it, search the Internet, there must be one in this commercial area. However, on the third day, I saw its specialty store at the entrance of of the Great Palace of . Later, I regretted why I didn’t buy more! !
Go to the super luxury cinema in siam centre, where I have seen the highest-end cinema there, which is 4DIMAX! When I went there, I happened to meet a celebrity’s awards ceremony and saw many Thai movie stars up close! Very excited!
DAY3:
Content summary: Classic one-day tour in Bangkok: Chao Phraya River -Grand Palace-Imperial Palace Field Square- Jade Buddha Temple -Old Capitol-Kaoshan Road
How to go to the Grand Palace:
1 If you live on Kaoshan Road, just walk through
2 If you live along BTS, then take BTS to siam, and change to another route downstairs to S6 to change the boat. For details, see below: Take BTS from E5 to Siam, go downstairs without leaving the station, and transfer to the dark green BTS to SaphanTaksin (S6) in the same direction. The ticket price is 40B, and the terminal is the dock at exit 2. There are private boats at the pier, and their prices are between 600-800B. It is really full to take you to stay on the river for 1 hour to see the scenery. There are two types of boats we can choose. One is a tour boat, which is equipped with a Thai flag. The ticket price is 25B. You can buy tickets in the ticket hall or you can get on the boat and wait for the ticket inspector to check the ticket.
Warm reminder
: In fact, if you live in Sukhunyi Road, it is quite convenient to get there and not expensive. If you want to take a boat ride if you want to take a look at the Chao Phraya River, but it is recommended to go to the Chao Phraya River in the evening, which is very beautiful.
The itinerary for this day is nearby, so tuktuk is not needed. If you are already tired, you can try bargaining, but be careful of being cheated. I would like to remind you about the moment:
1 When walking on the street, pay attention to the initiative and friendship of strangers. It will tell you that the museum will not be opened today and you can go to other temples instead. The driver of the TUTU car takes you around for a walk, only 20 to 40 baht, and then take you to buy jewelry. Some of these people claim to be retired English teachers, or Chinese, but in fact they are in the same group as the tuk tuk driver
2 Single women should pay special attention when taking taxis and TUTU cars at night.
3 Some Thai people will chat with people at stations or ship stops, and induce people to go to gem shops to shop. You need to be careful
gives Thai text to everyone at some tourist attractions, so you can print it down and ask for directions.
DAY4:
Content summary: Ayuthaya
Go out at 8:00 today! ! Destination: Ayuthaya! ! Going to the Victory Monument to take a minibus is a bit like a pheasant car in Guangzhou. When I was asleep, I suddenly opened the car door and said Ayuthaya! I couldn't react at all at once. Because I had not prepared enough information before, I suddenly ran to this place. After getting off the car, I haven't woken up yet. I only saw a deserted area around me. Many tuktuk drivers surrounded us and asked us if we wanted to go here and there. In short, I was confused. I didn't even know where I was, and I almost thought I had been deceived. Thinking about it now, we are really crazy~~
Many people may not know what a big city is, so I found some simple introductions on Baidu and share them. I think this place is worth visiting. It lacks cultural protection, but it can allow hikers to experience the authentic Thai cultural style, and also experience the rural style of Thailand by the way. The transportation is convenient, not far from Bangkok.
Great City (Ayuthaya) is the old capital of Thailand. Since 1350 AD, 33 generations of monarchs have built their capital here until they were looted by Burmese in 1767. The original name of the Great City is the Sanskrit word Azhad, or translated as "Ajudya", which means a Jintang city or an indestructible city. Chinese people call it a big city.
Several ways to visit the big city:
1. Package tutu to visit the big city, 200B in one hour, you can take you anywhere in the city. But I have to take photos everywhere. If I go to a place for an hour, I will give it 200B in vain! ! So I gave up. But it is very suitable for friends who are just watching the show.
2. Rent a bicycle by Dacheng, return the car before 6 pm. There is a small car rental shop at the pier opposite the train station. It is very nice. When renting a car, you will be given a map and a car lock. We also remind us not to put our camera bag in the car basket to prevent people from stolen things. Later, we came back late because we were going to take pictures of sunset and got lost on the way back. As a result, the store drove a tuktuk car and looked for us everywhere and didn't return to the store until 8 pm. I originally wanted to give some money as compensation, but the store refused to accept it. How can you not be moved when you meet these lovely people on the journey?
3. Rent a motorcycle or a small car. I didn’t ask about the specific price. You can rent motorcycles and small cars in almost all places where you can rent bicycles. The big city is not very big. If you go in cooler weather or ride a bicycle, it is better to feel.
Here is a map of the city, because I took a photo with my mobile phone to face the map, which may not be very clear. Except for the more important thing I marked the red heart on it, the others are broken arms and ruins of similar style. When we ride bicycles, we will look all the way and stop when we see beautiful ones. This is the real backpacker.
, please attach some photos of the big city below. The camera is not good yet. In order to keep it mysterious, please follow my album later. Now let’s put some random photos on your phone.
DAY5:
Content summary: One-day tour of Pattaya, subverting the world view.
I was so tired yesterday. I went to bed at 11 o'clock this morning. I quickly got up and packed my luggage and set off for our third city - Pattaya (pattaya)
If you think Pattaya is a beautiful coastal city, then you are wrong.
If you think Pattaya can bring a family here for vacation, you are wrong.
Pattaya is a place to experience Thai porn culture.
The main tourist hotspots in Pattaya are tiffany show (shemale show) and pedestrian street. These two are worth seeing. Many other attractions are derived from them, and the sea is not beautiful, so if you are visiting multiple places in Thailand, you can consider staying in Pattaya for one night.
DAY6:
Content summary: Pattaya ~ Phuket, Phuket free travel reminder.
When I woke up in the morning, I found that the streets were quiet, the shop doors were closed, and people were asleep comfortably in their nests. Pattaya is indeed a city that never sleeps. I returned to the hotel at around 1 o'clock last night, but the sound of the outside sound has been echoing around Pattaya. I thought of getting up to bed and walking around again, but I found that there was nothing to do. I booked a plane to Phuket at 19:00 today. We didn’t know why we took the bus to the airport and wanted to go to Bangkok Airport to stroll around, so we found a restaurant to eat and then left!
Warm reminder
:1 The prices in Pattaya and Bangkok are quite low. If you have anything to eat, drink and buy, hurry up, because you will be cheated when you go to Phuket, and there are not many options available.
2 reminds you how to get from Pattaya to Bangkok Airport:
① Take the airport direct train at the bus station in Pattaya (on the map), but the departure time is uncertain and it is relatively small. It is best to book one day in advance and arrive at the airport about 1 and a half hours.
② There are many taxi points on the streets of Pattaya, you can rent taxis, minibus, etc., and determine them according to your number of people. The more people you have, the more cost-effective it is. Actually, it’s very simple. If you are worried about being cheated, you can ask how many more companies you can do. We rented a taxi bag and the highway cost a total of 900B, because the price may be only 400B different from taking a bus. Besides, 900B is equivalent to RMB 200. I really don’t want to walk around with so much luggage. It turned out that our choice was correct, and we had a sleep in the car for a while and then we arrived.
Phuket's Sunny Beach! ! We are here! ! Let me give you a brief introduction to where Phuket is. In fact, you will know by looking at the pictures. Places marked with colors are all famous tourist cities in Thailand. So I will go again! ! Welcome to join.
Because we set out to Emperor Island early the next morning, we booked a night in Phuket (because it is cheap), and we also took a walk in Phuket Town. After that, except for one night on Emperor Island, I have been living in Patong Beach.
We ordered on Taobao in advance Azip pick-up (I’ll talk about this later!) We arrived in Phuket Town at 10 o’clock that night. By the way. Recommend a hotel first. It is very suitable for young people, with their own unique design, and a feel. There is also an open-air candlelight bar opposite, hidden in a small alley, and it is cost-effective, 157CNY/night. Turn left after leaving the alley, there is a row of small restaurants for eating. One of them mentioned in the BBQ in the guide (1) is great, and it still has endless reminiscence.
Many people asked us what to do if two college students go abroad and are still in a country that doesn’t speak English very much. We don’t know what to do about this issue, so we found a Chinese-speaking tourism agent in Phuket, ah. I booked it in advance on Taobao and ordered their home 1. Pick up and drop off airport service 2. Round trip to Emperor Island 3. Pippi Island One-day tour 4. The Emperor Island is all made by two people, a total of 2,000 yuan. I originally thought it would be more expensive in China, but after a comparison, I found that it was good quality and cheap, and Azi was very careful. When his people received us from the airport, they received Azi phone calls to care about us and told us that if there were any problems, they could find him immediately. For us two young college students who are away, it is really like sending warmth in the snow! This is the website of their Taobao store, and you can also book a hotel, but I don’t know if the hotel price is cheaper than booking or agoda. You can go and compare and tell me~.
Warm reminder
: Go to Phuket or go to any island for vacation in the future. If you want to take photos, go to Taobao to rent a diving camera, and don’t buy waterproof covers. The price is similar, but the things that come with a waterproof cover are terrible.
DAY7DAY8
Abstract: Emperor Island Luxury two-day and one-night tour
Emperor Island is located on the south side of Phuket, 12 kilometers apart, and the speedboat takes about 30 minutes.
Accommodation:
There are 3 hotels in total. For honeymoon, it is recommended to consider The Racha Hotel. The Greek style (as shown above), modern facilities, infinity pool, and if the weather is good and sunny, the sea water and the hotel look extremely beautiful. If it's just a vacation, you can also consider Ban Raya Resort and Spa. The disadvantage is that the hotel facilities are old and the standard is 3 stars, but the beach at the door is most suitable for snorkeling and an infinity pool. It is suitable for classmates who go out for a day and sleep when they go back to the hotel. Another hotel does not have air conditioning, so don't consider it.
How to get to Emperor Island:
1 Find a local agent to order a pick-up and drop-off, which will probably be around 1,000 baht (including hotel pick-up and drop-off). A ship is picked up from the hotel at around 8 am every day, and then take a speedboat from the dock to Emperor Island. The next day or one day at the designated day, pick it back from Emperor Island back to Phuket at 14:30 pm and send it to the designated hotel (you can say to another hotel). The advantage of this method is that it is cheap, but the disadvantage is that the time can only be in the morning. (This boat is actually a one-day cruise for Emperor Island)
2 takes the Racha family's own speedboat on Emperor Island, and the cost is about 900 baht (one way, not including hotel pick-up and drop-off at both sides). The speedboat departure from Phuket is 11:30, 14:00, 17:00, and the speedboat from Emperor to Phuket is 9:00, 12:00, 16:00. You need to go to the reception desk of Chalong Pier at least 30 minutes in advance (very obvious). Pay special attention that guests from the racha hotel must be able to take this speedboat. Guests from other hotels cannot take it.
Island activities:
1 Snorkeling
① The most suitable beach for snorkeling is Kon Kare Bay.
But be careful of some reefs snorkeling here, your hands and feet are easily scratched, remember to bring band-aids. The sea water here is not deep and clear. The sunlight at 4 o'clock shines into the water like a translucent fish tank! Kon Kare Bay can also come without renting a boat. It takes more than ten minutes to walk to get there. Passing through a large area of coconut trees, the end of the road is the snorkeling bay. There is also a hotel here called Baan Raya Resort (there are signs for Baan Raya Resort on the way to come). Hotel guests can go directly to the sea and snorkeling if they swim shortly. If you are not a hotel guest, you can ask the hotel for renting snorkeling tools. There are also a perfect shower room and dressing room, which is very convenient.
②RACHA's island is very small, and you can visit the entire island in one day. It is recommended to go snorkeling when the sun is good at noon, so that the visibility of the seabed is high and the scenery you see will be better. There are 3 snorkeling places on the island, all of which are very close to each other, and it takes about 2-4 hours to play.
③The hotel sports center has free life jackets and snorkeling masks for rent. The best thing is that it also has flippers. This way, it is like a fish when swimming, and it will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
2 Deep diving
I ordered only R1 online, but if I knew there were so many diving projects, I would definitely choose to go to Xiaohuangdao to see the devil rays that are two or three times larger than people! Leave a regret! I'll be back!
This diving company, Ah Xian, is a cousin who is a coach in this diving company. He can speak Chinese, which is very nice. ky started to get nervous the day before, but once he entered the underwater world, all the tension was forgotten, and only praise was left.
3 Play in the hotel
The hotel is open-plan, connected to the beach, with a circular swimming pool, a second-floor infinity pool looking at the sea, and an invincible multimedia system in the room. I really want to stay here for a few more days.
DAY9:
Content summary: Eating, drinking and having fun in Patong Beach
Daily because I plan to take a vacation and leisure trip in Patong, so there is no other itinerary for the remaining three days except for one day trip to Pippi Island. I mainly eat, drink and having fun in Patong Beach. I was running out for 9 consecutive days, but I was actually quite tired. I got up in the morning and enjoyed breakfast in the hotel and continued to sleep. I didn’t go out until 4 pm.
Attached a Pattaya beach map:
Must-do in Pattaya:
1 Adult Show (If you want to go to Pattaya, it is better to be optimistic in Pattaya, it is cheaper than Phuket and more open)
We didn’t dare to watch it when we were in Pattaya, for fear of being deceived, and for fear that girls would be not good to go in. Until I saw a guide online:
"The most concentrated adult performances are in soi seadragon. These locations are allowed by the Patong Municipal Government, and are protected by the government to open for tourists, which is legal. If you are shouting with signs on the bar street, pingpang show. show. These personnel and adult bars are hired to shout, don't follow them, you will be raised.
There is another point. All these places do not charge tickets. There is no ticket fee. You can enter and exit freely. Of course, you cannot be in vain. There must be a reason to go in and sit down. If you find a place, there will be a waiter at the door who warmly greets you to go in. Find a place to sit down. You can sit in front of the performance stage or sit against the wall. The price of beer is usually 900 baht here (2 00 RMB is actually equivalent to tickets), order a bottle of beer, you have to pay for this on the spot. Then come down to watch it with peace of mind. This is OK for you to sit for as long as you want. There is no time limit. The premise of visiting these places. Don’t be embarrassed. Since it is open to the public, be calm. Don’t wander around the door. Don’t take the drinks list and look in front and behind after going in."
So I made up my mind to find out, otherwise I always feel that there are fewer things in Thailand. After I went there, I realized that my previous concerns were unnecessary. Many girls went in as curious as me, and there were even more couples who went in together. But it's enough to watch these performances once and know what happened. Anyway, I won't watch them the second time.
2 Horse Kill Chicken
Thai massage is too cheap and comfortable. For me, who likes massage, I am really excited. During these three days in Patong, I massaged it on time at 10 o'clock every night, and it was unmoved. But there are too many massage shops in Patong, many of which are glass facades, so I can be seen by pedestrians how you are being pressed inside. I am not used to it, so I found a hotel spa. It looks formal, but it is only 50B expensive. It has its own small room, and the bed towel has a coconut scent. It smells naturally sweet but not greasy. I like it very much. After that, I kept looking for coconut-flavored aromatherapy and coconut-flavored essential oils but couldn’t find them! If anyone goes, please bring me one back!
Give a reference price list for horse killing chickens. The price will change according to the store's grade, and the content will be basically the same.This price is the general price.
Thai Massage (1 hour) 250B (about 50CNY)
Oil Massage (1 hour) 300B (about 60CNY)
Foot Massage (1 hour) 250B (about 50CNY)
3 Eat seafood
Lobster! ! great! ! There are nearly 20 ways to do it casually. I ate for three nights in a row, three ways to do it.
introduces many seafood restaurants in Patong online, and I think they are all delicious. Actually, there is no need to prepare too deliberately. Just know what special dishes are available. There is actually no big difference in what each store makes, but the prices will of course vary depending on the level of the hotel.
There are many other things like Muay Thai, shemale show, beach parachutes, etc. I didn't go to see it. If you are interested, you can take a look at Baidu. The targeted things found on Baidu are more practical.
DAY10:
Content summary: One-day tour of Pippi Island
I have been following the tour guide today. The tour guide is a very cute little fat guy. He said that his name is Victoria and his captain is Captain Jack. When leaving
, only snorkels and masks are provided. If you need fins, you must rent them yourself, 100B a day. It's not very useful, but it's not expensive either. It depends on personal preference.
Emerald Island is very beautiful, with many fish, and very shallow. Be careful of the corals, the fish swam by us unscrupulously, making us almost suffering from dense syndrome.
DAY11:
Content summary: Return to the mainland of the motherland! !
I played outside for 10 days in a row. Although I was really tired, I was reluctant to leave. Thank you to my friends who supported my travel career and everyone who helped us on the journey.
This 10-day trip to Thailand uses about RMB 8,500 per person.
