The most embarrassing place is to go out early and return late, and the time to visit the scenic spots is very short. If it takes a long time to visit a scenic spot, it must be a place that needs a lot of purchase and consumption. Among them, shopping spots are the most embarrassing, such as latex mats, local products, crocodile skins, precious stones and duty-free shops. Basically, Thailand will go to Wangquan Duty Free Shop.
Consumption is an offshore project at best, but you can play whenever you want, and there is no compulsion. Pattaya, Phuket, and other self-funded shows, such as adult shows and shemale shows, are invisible to Thai locals. Pattaya Bar Street.
My friend in Thailand said that Thai people go to bars instead of walking street in Pattaya Bar. Basically, they are places to earn money from foreigners. This is the biggest pit, and there are pits in the free travel hotel. There is an ashtray in the smoking room, but don't say fine for smoking. Many people have been cheated. Suddenly cars and taxis are absolutely expensive, and foreigners don't even look at them.
It must be mentioned that tour groups to Thailand are basically low-cost tours, and news of conflicts between tourists and local institutions and tour guides in Thailand is not uncommon. Although China and Thailand have jointly cracked down on zero-yuan tourism, how can such a tourist atmosphere be so easily eradicated?
Two months ago, tourists from China were threatened by tour guides, which actually reflected the evil atmosphere of group tours. Traveling with a group can be said to be slaughtered everywhere, mainly in the following aspects:
1. Shopping
This is an inevitable pit for group tours. Tourists will definitely be taken to some Thai specialty shops that tour guides have greeted. Many behind-the-scenes bosses come from China, such as cosmetics stores, jewelry stores, bird's nest stores, crocodile products stores, or latex pillow stores. Most of these places are only visited by China people, and the certificates issued by some jewelry centers are fake.
Some tour guides also sell their products directly on the tour bus. It is worth noting that tour guides either recommend some unknown brands (which may lead to higher profits), or recommend some well-known brands but sell fakes. Such a thing is not new, because it has been on the news countless times.
2. Self-financing projects
Traveling with a group usually requires participating in some additional self-funded projects, such as shemale show and adult show. Sometimes tourists don't want to participate, so there are many conflicts, and the price of self-funded projects is much more expensive than that of ordinary free travel, because only in this way can they earn more money from tourists.
Some travel agencies boast that there is no shopping group. In fact, replacing these shopping items with self-funded items will cost a lot more than ordinary free travellers.
3. Travel experience
Another disadvantage of group travel is that it is full all day. Sometimes, if you are unhappy in one place, you are asked to rush to the next destination, whether it is traveling or running.
Finally, if you want to have fun, you'd better go it alone. No matter how much you spend, the travel experience is better than that of a tour group, so you don't have to worry about the threat of being dumped. After all, the purpose of traveling is to have fun, not to spend money to suffer.
