This strategy is mainly to save money for your baby, because I am an affordable woman, and I hope to enjoy a better holiday at the lowest price every time I travel. This time, we spent a total of 5800 ~ 6000 yuan per person in 8 days, and friends said we were so cheap!
May-10 is the rainy season in Bangkok every year. This time, we chose the end of May, and it actually began to rain, but it rained a little at night in those days, and it was sunny during the day. The end of May is not the peak season, and the hotel price is too good.
As for visas, we are Taobao visas. Landing visa is a little more expensive than signing in advance. When we checked in at Taobao in advance, it seemed that we only had 5.8 yuan, but we had to pay for the round-trip transportation. It's convenient and fast anyway. Just give it your passport and two one-inch photos, and you can do whatever you want. Just apply for a visa one month in advance.
As for air tickets, everyone says that AirAsia's air tickets are cheap. We also saw it on AirAsia. It has regular activities, but its activities usually don't come until six months later. After checking the price, those air tickets to Bangkok and Chiang Mai are all over 300 yuan, but not including luggage. If you want to get a cheap ticket from AirAsia, you can book it in AirAsia official website six months in advance.
If you want to grab a special ticket, you can download an e-travel, which mainly introduces which airlines have discounts, all of which are hundreds of special tickets, but it should be noted that the time of special tickets is not your decision, but the time period stipulated by airlines, and most of them can only travel two months after grabbing tickets.
If you don't go to official website to grab a special ticket, try to book it at Ctrip, because our ticket from Phuket to Bangkok is booked at Bird Airlines official website. It is very troublesome to book special fares abroad. You must use some specific credit cards and try several credit cards before you can pay. It's really troublesome. You'd better borrow that credit card from your friend.
Remember to pay attention to those who book air tickets. If the ticket contains luggage, you can go to a treasure to buy luggage, and a treasure can do anything.
Some foreign airline officials wrote that checkin had to bring a credit card to buy tickets, but we took it seriously, because the credit card was borrowed from a friend, but there was no need to show it to buy tickets.
If we fly directly to Phuket, the price will be more expensive, but we are looking forward to going to Bangkok, so we will fly from Bangkok to Phuket, which will save money.
I couldn't wait to go to Thailand in half a year, so I didn't go to AirAsia to grab it. In contrast, we are interested in Air Macau 1400 round-trip ticket to Bangkok, Macau.
I checked, and the big price for starting from Guangzhou was 1800, so I decided to go to Macau, and many babies went to Hong Kong for a lift. The air ticket from Hong Kong to Bangkok is more cost-effective, but the Hong Kong airport is far away and the time is not good. Maybe I'll stay at the airport for one night.
Comparing the prices of several agents, where did you order it? Cheaper than Air Macau official website.
Many people are worried about where tickets can't be bought. If you book a ticket at the agency, you must do it in advance, a few weeks in advance, otherwise some friends will not be able to tell the ticket one or two days before the temporary time, and they will desperately call Ctrip to negotiate.
When booking air tickets, be sure to check your ticket number at Air Macau official website to see if the tickets have been issued. I've been on China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines before, and the plane meal is really bad.
Qantas' flight meal was amazing. After the meal, there were hot bread and butter, chicken noodles and pork rice, a bottle of water, salad and fruit. The fruits after dinner are watermelon and pineapple. Watermelon has no seeds at all.
You must buy a hotel to book a plane ticket, that is, (for the plane plus wine package, 30 yuan can book a hotel at a discount of 70, and each of us bought two, which is * * * minus 280).
Between Bangkok and Phuket, we took lion air and Bird Airlines. Before that, we heard a lot of bad reviews from lion air, but it was really not as good as lion air. Its location is very small, a little more crowded than ordinary airlines, and it can't even provide water. Bird air has at least water delivery.
About the hotel, be sure to book in advance. It is cheaper to book in advance in some high-end hotels. We booked a hotel one month in advance, which was still in 400 yuan.
A lot, a few days before I went, it became 1000. It is more favorable to use those hotels, but those _ can only be returned after check-in, and Ctrip account can be returned, but they can be withdrawn to their bank cards.
Regarding hotel booking, many babies recommended some software to me, but compared with Ctrip, it is cost-effective and convenient, and it is the most cost-effective to buy air tickets and hotel packages when booking air tickets, that is, to buy air tickets to send hotel coupons.
I really recommend you to book a better hotel, because hotels in Thailand are very cost-effective. The hotel level of 600,800 there is similar to that of domestic 1500. It is rare that the price of 800 can enjoy the domestic five-star level. Of course, you should enjoy it.
Although Thailand requires each person to bring 20,000 baht into the country, this is usually only a spot check in landing visa. We didn't win the prize anyway. We compared the exchange of Thai baht with that of Bank of China and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and found that ICBC was more cost-effective, and the exchange rate was almost the same as that of real time.
Boots, duty-free shops, 7- 1 1, and local shopping stores in Thailand can all use Alipay, as long as you have Alipay in your hand.
The map must be downloaded to Google, but this time we didn't use it much because we all took taxis.
If the plane is too late, we must book a pick-up. Just book a pick-up at a treasure, but you must book it two days in advance. We booked the pick-up in the morning, and most of them didn't take orders, just one or two.
The hotel we booked on the first night was far from the airport. Fortunately, we booked a pick-up. We are very tired. The person who picks up the plane speaks Chinese, and he will take you to the driver.
It's also super far to our Kata Hotel in Phuket Airport. Booking to pick up the plane is really cost-effective and convenient. As soon as you come out, someone will pick you up with a card.
Our plane was an hour late, but the driver was still there, so we gave an extra tip at that time.
If you can't fill in the entry and exit card, you'd better download a template from Baidu yourself. The stewardess will issue you an entry card on the plane. If the template is in the mobile phone, you can fill it out from the plane or print it yourself.
The entrance is too fast. Remember to keep the exit card and stick it with your passport to avoid losing it. It is said that it is particularly troublesome to leave.
Grabtaxi must be downloaded about traffic.
But you need to register with a Thai phone card, because the driver wants to call you, but you should not add the leading 0 to the registered phone, but remove the leading 0. It took us a long time to register and know not to ask others.
This software is very convenient, equivalent to Didi in China, and there are two choices: four-person car and seven-person van. If you have luggage, don't choose a taxi, because there is no room for luggage in the suitcase, you can choose a private car.
Many drivers don't understand English, or we don't understand English. You can ask the hotel front desk to tell you your hotel address or tell you where the driver is waiting for you. When taking a taxi, if the driver asks you if you want to get on the expressway, you must say get on the expressway.
Although I have to pay more for the expressway, I really want to cry because I don't go around the expressway and waste my time on the road. Taxis in Thailand are very cheap, so we have been using this software to take taxis. The streets of Phuket are full of black car drivers. If you don't know how much to cut, just check Google Maps.
It shows how much a taxi will cost. Cut it after you know the market. Don't book a car in the hotel, it will be much more expensive. There is a hotel where they call a car for us, which is 300 pigs more expensive than the software. We took the subway and light rail once in Bangkok.
If you have luggage, don't take the subway, because there are stairs and no escalators. If you carry the suitcase up and down, you will cry. We happened to have luggage on the subway that time, and all of them were stairs. We cried when we saw the stairs.
And it's not like the Guangzhou subway taking two lanes in the opposite direction. It has only one lane. Look at the direction and see if the bus is going forward or backward.
Just buy a happy card with a calling card. The signal is good. Buy from Taobao in advance. My friend bought it locally in Phuket, but he was cheated and couldn't use it. Later, he went to the airport to officially buy it.
Many people will choose and book a day trip to the island. Many people choose Similan Island, but Similan Island is only open from 165438+ 10 to April, so we are going to Emperor Island. If you want to stay on the island longer or snorkel better, choose some boats with fewer people, such as Goddess, 19 people.
We have a reservation for Taurus. It is estimated that there are 50,60 people. Snorkeling is not fun, and there is no coach. And because everyone spends a long time snorkeling, it only takes half an hour to get to the island, and only a few photos can be taken in half an hour ~ and the second floor of the boat is not big, and the two aunts have quarreled over the place.
At that time, we also said that if we didn't dive deep, we might as well stay in a high-end hotel.
After all, I can only stay on the island for half an hour after a dizzy day, alas, a one-day tour of 499. Although the sea is really beautiful, I feel that the islands in Thailand are not perfect and there are no bridges. Wuzhizhou in Sanya is much better.
That snorkeling bite is a bit dirty, because it is not disposable. It is estimated that many tourists use it together. Those who love cleanliness can buy their own set, or go swimming without snorkeling.
About Phuket, except those islands are beautiful, Kata Beach is actually not bad. As for Badong Beach, don't go to Badong Beach instead of Yangjiang Beach in Guangdong.
Regarding the seafood market in Ban Zan, people who look very obscene are soliciting customers to buy seafood. At first, a man wanted to drag me to buy it and wouldn't let me go. At that time, my friends were so scared that they wanted to leave immediately.
There are people everywhere who solicit customers to buy seafood. If you are all girls, don't go. Don't be afraid when bargaining. He sold 4800 pigs and I cut 2000. Of course, it is more cost-effective for us to go there, including the processing fee.
That man scolded me, and the girls in the same trade didn't dare to bargain when they saw that they were tall and obscene. Finally, 2500, this includes the processing fee. There is a big lobster, eight lazy shrimps, squid and a green vegetable.
There are many local men who are a little obscene. Please be careful if only one or two girls go out. We had a super ugly man following us near Badong Bar Street, and then my best friend also said that the man approached me desperately and ordered my bag as if to rob me. I took a few quick steps at once, rushed into a Starbucks and sat for a while before we left.
It's the same with island tourism. The tour guide patted me on the shoulder intentionally or unintentionally and patted my leg jokingly for no reason. Then my best friend said that I was dressed too sexy that day. I planned to take photos on the island that day, but it only took half an hour. I should wear a school uniform to avoid being accidentally drawn.
When I left, another tour guide took my hand desperately and said, come home with me. I shook his hand in a joking tone and immediately rushed to the car to take us back to the hotel.
Just a few little girls should pay attention to Thailand. Thai men are often accosted in the street. They are not for sale, so we are a little afraid of this. We are all a little afraid to say a few words and leave soon.
As for food, I feel that the taste of Thailand is not suitable for us Cantonese. They are very sweet, but going to the recommended restaurant is good for us. Although 7- 1 1 is super cheap, you are still tired after eating too much. Going to 7- 1 1 seems to be all from China.
Also, be sure to bring a thin coat and cardigan. Air conditioning in airports and planes in Thailand is free and super cold!
Write so much first, and then add it later.
Because of the large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor in Thailand, my boudoir has a fever and a cold, so I must bring some medicine myself. Thailand 7- 1 1 has medicine, but I can't read Thai clearly and I don't know what effect it has.
I asked the staff of the convenience store to buy antipyretic. The packaging was very simple, so I didn't dare to eat it, but my girlfriend took it and the fever went down the next day. I have a bad stomach when I go to Thailand this time. I suggest you take some stomach medicine.
As for shopping in Phuket, everyone likes to go to Jiangxi to be cold. There are quite a lot of local cosmetics in Bangkok. Boots are enough for buy buy. If you want to buy other brands, you can go to the mall. Imperial duty-free shop does not recommend everyone to go. We went there this time and found that they were all from China. It was too crowded.
The first thing to do in Imperial Duty Free Shop is to open a shopping card at the front desk. If freelancers go to Ctrip to get coupons, they can get a 20% discount, but there are restrictions, only duty-free products are available, and those that need tax refund are not.
Imperial duty-free shops are not very cost-effective. Its products are also available at the airport, and the location is very remote. We took a taxi for more than an hour.
It is recommended that you buy the goods at one time, not in multiple times, because the tax refund is 100 every time except 2000 baht. I bought it in six times, and the handling fee was 600 pigs. If you get a one-time tax refund, you only need to pay 100. Most people in Bangkok recommend Central.
The world is really super big. I've been shopping all day, and I can continue shopping with bigC across the street. Centralworld has a Bangkok bag, a good brand, handwritten letters, cheap and Thai.
When you come to centralworld, you must go to the middle of zem, probably like Wagner who sells underwear on the fourth and fifth floors. If you come to Thailand, you must buy Hua 'geer. It used to be quite expensive in other shopping malls, only here and big.
The huageer in c is the cheapest. The huageer here is about RMB 150 yuan, and you can get a 20% discount if you buy more than 5,000 baht. Finally, it becomes 65,438+020, which is super good in quality and super comfortable to wear.
Thailand's local cosmetics are also super cheap, so are Revlon and L 'Oreal. L 'Oré al generally sells more than 70 lipsticks 108 in China. Revlon lipstick is 46 RMB, but this brand of lipstick doesn't work well.
I don't need to tell you what to bring with me when traveling, such as toiletries, slippers and clothes. Sunscreen umbrella is a must. The sun in Thailand is so poisonous.
My face is covered with sunscreen. I hardly got a tan this time. I put on several layers of sunscreen. Body painting, let's go to Thailand to buy.
Waterproof bags, mobile phones and cameras are all bought in Taobao, because in Thailand, most of them go out to sea, and the seaside and swimming pools are covered with water. My camera fell into the swimming pool while playing in the swimming pool, and the maintenance cost was 2000 yuan.
So I suggest you buy a waterproof bag. I always apply one tablet a day to repair the mask after sun exposure.
Shopping bags or luggage bags can also be bought again, because the round-trip flight from Bangkok to Phuket is only 15kg, and it was fine when I went there, but it became heavier when I came back because I bought a bunch of cosmetics in Phuket.
Fortunately, I brought a duffel bag and put all the clothes I can take on the plane in the duffel bag, so I don't need to buy any luggage. 20kg is just right to return to China.
