Let's start with shopping. The biggest boss of Thailand's tourism industry is not a travel agency, but a jewelry store owner. The tour bus used by the team in Thailand is provided free of charge by the jewelry store (the driver's salary is paid by the tour guide). Jewelry store refers not to a store, but to all shopping stores that have been entering Thailand. Jewelry, leather goods, bird's nest and snake medicine are all bought and sold by one boss. Now you can see who is the biggest boss. Jewelry stores in Thailand have two super-large systems, OA and Siam for short, and travel agencies in Thailand must rely on one of them. If you have a good reputation in the jewelry store and have no money, you can borrow money from it. Even travel agencies in China borrow money from them through Thai travel agencies. In other words, if the jewelry store is willing to help you, you have an extremely powerful boss. In fact, both China Travel Agency and Thailand Travel Agency work for jewelry stores. But then again, the shopping malls in Thailand are very standardized, and it never happened again. If tourists don't buy anything, close the door and let the dog go. Even if tourists go in and don't buy anything, and then come out, no one will give you a hard time. Unlike some individual areas, shopping in Thailand is very regular. If the tourists didn't buy anything along the way, who will pay for the reception? They are all from Thailand travel agency. Everyone has seen many articles or videos about Thailand's tourism exposure, and there is no problem of forced shopping again. Travel agencies in Thailand are also willing to pay. It doesn't matter if you don't buy it, as long as someone buys it In addition, it should be emphasized that there are absolutely no fakes in shopping malls in Thailand, which are guaranteed to be genuine, but the price is a bit. It's time to pay at your own expense. Self-funded tourism is a chronic disease in Thailand. It is also an effective means to cooperate with travel agencies to make KB and make up for KB and reception costs by selling the profits earned by tour guides at their own expense. If you have been to Thailand and the tour guide sells at his own expense in the car, then this tour group will definitely be a KB group, just more or less KB. If you buy Thai tourism products, the salesperson tells you that you have your own expenses, but does not force or try to tell you clearly how much you need to guarantee, this is a KB group. So, are KB all earned by "black heart" travel agencies? In fact, domestic travel agencies will take KB into account when calculating costs. For example, the cost of air tickets and visas is 3500, KB 1 000. Then the actual cost of the travel agency is 2500, plus part of their own profits, they put it on the market. In other words, KB is actually for tourists. Travel agencies do KB only to reduce the intuitive price, so friends who have participated in KB tours have no grievances, as heavy as carrying and holding.
