First of all, the issue of currency exchange: the method of Thai baht and Thai baht exchange. Thai currency unit is "baht" and English Thai is pronounced "ba". At present, 1 yuan is about 4-4.5 baht. At present, there are five kinds of banknotes with denominations of 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 baht and seven kinds of coins with denominations of 5, 10, 25, 50 sadang and 10 baht in circulation. 1 Thai baht equals 100 Sadang. Acquisition method of Thai baht: 1. Direct purchase is the highest exchange rate in China. Bank of China can buy Thai baht directly, but it is not available in all business halls or all the time. You need to make an appointment in advance and bring your ID card and passport. 2. You can withdraw Thai baht directly from ATM or affiliated bank with UnionPay logo in Thailand with bank card. Other ATMs without these two logos can also try. It should be noted that the deposit balance of ATM shows the amount of Thai baht calculated according to the foreign exchange quotation of China UnionPay at that time, not the balance of RMB. The exchange rate is calculated according to the selling price of Thai baht published by Bank of China on the same day, but the issuing bank will charge a certain handling fee (generally 0.3%-0.5%, with a minimum charge of RMB 10 yuan). 3. Exchange euros, dollars or Hong Kong dollars in China, and then exchange them into Thai baht in Thailand. Two exchanges will produce a certain exchange rate loss. Generally speaking, the exchange rate of banks will be slightly lower than that of street exchange shops. 4. Direct exchange of RMB in Thailand, the exchange rate is lower than the above methods. Chinatown in Bangkok may be better. When UnionPay travels in Thailand, more than 2,000 POS machines in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and Pattaya can use UnionPay credit cards to swipe their cards, and more than 8,000 ATMs in Thailand, such as Kasikang Bank, Tailand.xutour.com, TMB Military Bank and SCIB Bank, can directly withdraw Thai baht with UnionPay cards. Tip: 1. Credit card (credit card) needs to pay interest or the handling fee is high, so it is recommended to use debit card (savings card) for ATM withdrawal as much as possible; 2. Credit cards are limited by the credit limit, which may lead to high expenses beyond the credit limit. It is recommended to use a savings card when buying in large quantities; Besides cash withdrawal, UnionPay cards can also be used in most shopping malls and shops in Thailand. Fourth, whether it is a debit card or a credit card, please enter the password when swiping the card; If the card has no password, please press confirm directly; 5. Some stores or ATMs may not have the "UnionPay" logo at present. I suggest you take the initiative to ask the cashier or bank service staff in the store. UnionPay Thailand's 24-hour service hotline: 0018-001-2066-5999 Bank of Thailand and Exchange Office: The business hours of domestic banks in Thailand are usually 8:30- 15:30 from Monday to Friday, and they are closed on Saturday and Sunday. In busy streets where foreigners gather, such as Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya and Phuket, there are many exchange offices directly under banks. In these exchanges, the business hours are until 20:30 at night, and some even stay open until late at night. It should be noted that some banks do not accept the 96 version and previous US dollars.

Pay special attention to Britain, the United States, Vietnam and then Thailand's famous scenic spot Phuket 1. Don't touch the heads of Thai children, whether frogs or dinosaurs, otherwise, hehe, please respect other people's habits. If you want to visit Buddhist temples, Thai people are very welcome, but please put on pants, and don't show your body below the neck or your calves. The price in Thailand is moderate, but please save every copper coin. After all, I earned it myself. The most suitable thing is in the local living area, and the price of consumer goods in the tourist area is still at a certain level. 6. Thailand is rich in fruits. There's no harm in eating more. Stay and give me some, mainly durian and adaguo. Prepare banknotes before the trip to Phuket (if it is hard work, at least 6,000 yuan, you can bring it back when you don't use it; There is no limit to the number of luxury goods, but it is better to use an international card, which is easier for customs to handle. Health is very important, and it is best to have enough sun protection exercise. Sunscreen: cream or dew is not the most important thing, what is important is that the PF value should be high, at least above 40. Drugs: The most important thing is anti-seasickness drugs. Of course, other commonly used drugs, such as whole intestine, will not be a burden. Language: Chinese has no place in Thailand, but the staff in most shops and tourist spots can still accept English, so at least they must have English conversation ability. Exit formalities: passport, visa. . . . . . . (Nonsense, all fools know how to do it) Reservation: In general, you can make a reservation online, especially in the tourist season (165438+1October-May of the following year), and it is particularly important to make a reservation in advance. D 1 China-There are several cities in Phuket, Thailand that can fly directly to Phuket. If not, they can fly from Bangkok to Phuket (there are more flights from Bangkok to Phuket); * Cities near Hong Kong can fly directly from Hong Kong to Phuket. Rent a Car There are few local taxis in Thailand, and the price is not cheap. There is a kind of Dongdong called "Tutu" on a short trip, and the price is both non-nationals and nationals (non-nationals generally have 20 pigs/person). There are many car rental spots near the airport. It is recommended to rent a car from a regular car rental point, ranging from 700 pigs to 1500 pigs. The vehicle is in good condition (we rented a Honda CIVIL 1200 during the National Day. Remember: you can get a * * map at every car rental point. If you rent a car, you can get one at once. Self-help tour is very important. Check in. Stay in any room you reserve. It's more troublesome if you don't book it Choose a place to live, and then inquire about it locally. There is a house on a special day, and the price is uncertain. Let's follow the market. ) activity: you can go to see the beach early. Generally speaking, hotels in Phuket are close to the beach. It is a good choice to go to Phuket for the first time to enjoy the beach scenery. Evening: I suggest watching Tahai or shemale performances. Another thing you have to do on the first day is to arrange your schedule reasonably for a few days and choose which projects to participate in so as to allocate your time reasonably. There are many islands around Phuket, but they are basically the same. Not everyone has to go. Pick a representative one at random. Hotels can generally help to book tickets for various attractions and projects. I can also compare several travel agencies. Phuket is a tourist area, and there are many travel agencies like Fudge, but the price difference is not big. If you have a car rental, you can drive yourself at the appointed time and visit various scenic spots. The disadvantage is that the fuel cost increases, and the advantage is that you have a lot of freedom. Generally, it takes an hour or two to pick up people from several hotels, but you have to wait for the bus to return to the hotel, so you can't play the projects you are interested in along the way. D2 Phang Nga Bay Phang Nga Bay is a bay between Phuket and Thailand. You will visit a small scenic spot on the way. In my opinion, the most attractive part of Pan-Asian Bay is mangrove, which is a beach plant that has been almost extinct in China. More people believe that the main attraction of Pan-Asian Bay is Bangqu Island, which is famous for 007. Eat in Muslim fishing village at noon. Basic free activities in the afternoon. You can watch the programs you didn't watch on the first day in the evening. D3 Elephant Tour in Old Street Style: You can't see the authentic local life in one place, which doesn't meet the purpose of self-help tourism. Therefore, it is suggested to drive to the capital of Phuket in the morning, visit the nearest local blocks, shops and snack bars, and taste the daily life of local people. In the afternoon, take part in the most Thai elephant tour. In fact, licking elephants is enough (ladies please note: no skirts). If you don't mind, elephant massage is very interesting, but ladies should pay attention. Elephant massage is easy to strip off. On the return trip, you can drive directly to the sunset point to watch the classic sunset in Phuket. In the evening, if you are interested, you can go to the street to eat Thai barbecue. D4 PP Island (or Koh Samui Island) and its surrounding areas can be used for diving or snorkeling to watch fish. You can swim. Sunbathing is provided. This should be a beautiful day. If you are interested in the evening, of course you can live on the island. In the evening, I suggest an authentic thai massage or SPA to relax and feel exotic.
