Because Thailand domestic flights are not allowed to carry liquids, so generally requires at least one piece of luggage checked. You can also buy the counters and baggage ticket, 321 baht 15KG luggage. Itinerary Day1 Guangzhou fly Bangkok, Bangkok shopping centre nearby places, in the evening you can go shopping, it is best to concentrate on one may drawback of shopping centres, General each Mall full 2000 baht to complete the refund form, rebate amount is 5000 baht table to the airport to the rebate.

Recommendations on View Point to watch the sunset, I was too tired and didn't go, a little regret. Day8 attend 1 PP Island circle Island Tour Day9 morning can participate in a deep diving or snorkeling, or go to the long beach PP Island (Long Beach) Sun, floating snorkeling. 2 pm half boat back to Phuket Phuket Alba East actually personally find uninteresting, too noisy! online a lot of people recommended Fantasia Show up and down about 2000 baht/person, too expensive. Night on the Internet a lot of people recommend expensive restaurant Savoey dinner, lobster, oysters, taste in general I would recommend to others. Day10 early machine fly Bangkok Bangkok, Phuket, fly to Guangzhou specific itinerary description Bangkok accommodation to resist shopping area near shopping convenience, to hold on the road to Grand Palace wofosi, no longer have to find a hotel near Sky train. I live near the shopping area Paragon hotel, Residence Rajtaevee above set ctrip, go to Paragon is 10 minutes, the hotel has a small alley where the car battery free shuttle to the Paragon of 5 door (return also in 5-door, etc.) is 2 minutes. The hotel also has two near Sky train station, namely Siam with Ratchathewi, very convenient. But the hotel itself is relatively small compared to the old, hot water, 3 people room to 356 RMB/night, only recommend sites, not on advertisers. Change money Bangkok city exchange rate best changers, opposite the Central World, Big C Supermarket next door in the small alley, usually in the Central World way, to exchange the road, you can see the orange signs Exchange of Money. The Exchange store called Super Rich Money Exchange Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 6: 00 pm door. Website: superrich1965.com why Exchange? because the exchange rate of RMB to baht international obviously 4.5 or so, but in Thailand, no matter where, no matter the banks or Exchange stores, see the RMB to baht only 4.1. In the Super Rich, the exchange rate of RMB to baht 4.6, in line with international standards, I take a $, the exchange rate of the General changers is 3.79-3.85, but Super Rich give 3.97! wow! quickly changing Sky multipoint! traffic train near Station 15 baht/person, far from the station in about 30 baht/person, nor cheap, can choose to sit tu tu car or taxi, I feel that the taxi is generally cheaper than the tu tu car, but I'd like to sit tu tu Che, Thailand. Near from Paragon to Grand Palace can walk: sit Sky train to the Central Pier CEntral Pier is located station Saphan taksin (if from Siam station off to Saphan taksin30 baht/person), and then do ship to 8 or 9 numbers head, if you go to wofosi, no. 8, the Grand Palace with wofosi is linked together, and if you head down the 8 numbers, there's no point in taking a boat to go to no. 9, the two terminals is very near. To the Terminal door selling 150 baht/person for Day Pass, is from the Central Pier to Pier No. 13, a day from morning till evening around 6 pm (the specific time forgot about this) unlimited traffic. Coronation of several Marine Division, probably a public sitting, about a 15 baht, frequencies, another kind is the visitors sat 25 baht/leg of the journey, the boat is large, there are guided tours took the microphone on both sides of the scenery, you can quite no. 10, closest to the Grand Palace. In fact, I think sat 15 baht or so on it straight on board the bus ticket, visitors can just sit back and two side, there is no need to buy a Day Pass, AZ tourists (very fortunate to be slaughtered under a). Bangkok Airport-City Centre: airport offer 450 baht 400 baht, we also, drivers promised that comes out to toll, estimated or walking speed. City-Bangkok Airport: hitting the table, the driver seems to be not only high speed, to the airport, good cheap 196 baht, gave 20 baht tip. Shopping don't miss Naraya package, was the biggest one in Central World, I went the entire shopping mall is not re-opened, advertising wrote on September 30, it re-opened, so maybe you can go after Central World buy. There are with Central World with a department store which has a very small Naraya but I wasn't there to buy. With the Paragon attached, a shopping arcade, I passed by, see ads coming soon, a few months will be opened. Finally I went to MBK tokyu department store of the Naraya buy packages, chose 1 hours, many favorite, well-made, and finally discarded as long as 10, and later feel that I can also buy more, each package is 200 baht, very worth! some malls can refund, no, ask a buy, it's best to focus on a homes can refund the mall to buy, the shopping centre 2000 baht full before they let you fill in the rebate form, 60 days Thailand buy full 5000 baht (of course you have to fill in tax rebate is only recognized on) to the airport where the refund VAt Refund. In addition to the Naraya, other to do the basic stuff I solve the Paragon, mainly bought Wacoal's Bra with the brand of cosmetics, Faceshop things according to personal preferences, there is also a line of Paragon fashion brand. Hotel name, Hotel Na thapae agoda.com Web site. Very satisfied with the hotel in the small alley, new, decorated, large, good service, good location. The only thing I was not satisfied with the place, I do not clamp price in hotel front bought the elephant camp Elephant Safari's mission, than most travel agents selling price expensive 400 baht, a heartache! disapprove this hotel 3 per room price is $ 470. The Sunday market on Sundays at the main gate thapae Gate went in main street Rachadamnoen Road, Sunday afternoon around 3-4 point hawkers were gradually lift temporary scaffolding hawking. Traffic generally sit tu tu Che, or red truck Red Car, if you are on Doi Suthep sudhebh Red Car to do, because you want to climb the Hill Road, tu tu car climb. Package a red truck back on the uphill, 400 baht, red truck gasoline smell very heavy, mind you don't sit. If the package is the private, the cheapest price 300 baht a driver. Chiang Mai Airport-Hotel: Chiang Mai airport is very close to the city centre, only 20 minutes taxi will be 150 baht, purchase tickets at the airport by taxi. Hotel-Chiang Mai Airport: meant to call Red Car, but some people are afraid of Red Car's exhaust, so called hotel called the taxi to 200 baht, the street is only a tu tu car with Red Car, see taxis. Dinner to online recommended at the Riverside restaurant Good View Restaurant eatingFood, reasonable prices, 3 personal 800 baht, eating across the bridge, just at the Night Bazaar. If you want to eat cheap, you can go to the ancient city of South Gate near Chiangmai Gate, there is a big area in the middle of the road, what to eat and drink everything is cheap, I want a fruit Shake, bovine heart top soup powder, banana ice 3 personally, not more than 100 Baht, to visit the Buddhist temple half day! tour if you get a good map of Chiang Mai, will teach you how to walk to visit the main temple. Recommended line is this: start from thapae Gate to enter the city, go to Wat Chiangmun is Chiang Mai's most ancient temples; and then walked to the City Cultural Center Art &, art and cultural center, at the front of the building's three kings statue. In art and cultural center there are next door, walked across the street to the great Buddha, a lot of snacks and finger, we walked up to a maximum of one's family, eat Hainanese chicken rice, Wow, that really good chicken flavor, I didn't expect to actually eat the stall. The boss is Hainan to Chinese, 55 years in Thailand, says former China closed, what kind of business are not allowed, right now, but people in Thailand for many years, there is also no need to go back; finished Hainan Chicken Rice (in fact, amount to a very small, breakfast), walk to Wat Jediluang, Temple behind a very old City, the city pillar Pillar, is said to be the previous King City when moving from another Buddha, surrounded by a stone carved elephant, there are a few of the elephant is already peeling. Finally came to the end of Wat Rachadamnoen Road Prasingh, visitors sat tu tu to eat Good View to the River. Sudhebh half day tour: grab a run through the Red Car, good price 400 baht round-trip, because mountain charges no fee for oil, the mountain, so generally drivers are packages of back and forth. Top-to-mount mountain, the highest place can climb stairs, or you can take the lift, the lift is 150 baht/person round-trip. The mountains have a girl dance performances of traditional Thailand, to the point tips, they are also not easy! into double Dragon Temple, buy cheapest Buddha fragrance with a Lotus Flower, around the Centre of Buddhist worship walked three times, the Buddha. 4-week Buddhist Centre and one of them has the monk to sprinkle holy water, also of a rope on your left, free of charge. Elephant Safari elephant camp: elephants in Thailand so important, think to Chiang Mai must participate in this mission, I bought at the hotel are the mission, later asked 1100 baht other travellers are between 700-800, was fiercely ripped, who told I didn't go to clamp price me. hotel are sure to receive high commissions! include projects, to feed an elephant, an elephant to take pictures with and see the elephant, elephant, bamboo rafting, lunch, after lunch drive to see the orchids orchid is locked, together with the project to the next long neck village, see long-necked person (very cruel, don't go see, and no one, maybe the girls don't have to do a long neck, and that's not normal developmental) back to Chiang Mai until 4 o'clock, find somewhere to sit Thai massage. About 200 baht/1 hour. Shopping in Chiang Mai in a few days of Sun, you can go to the Sunday market to buy, select more, but be sure to shop around, some of them offer is very wrong. If you do not have a Sunday, or you can go to the night market, make sure you bargain! in General, consumption of Chiang Mai, Phuket to Bangkok is low, so there is a need to buy hand letter can solve. Phuket-Phuket Phuket traffic PP Island Airport-Alba East Beach Hotel: take the airport Bus, Mini filled before they leave-in General, 150 baht/person Alba East Beach-Phuket Airport: in front of their own to Bangla Road near the beach of the road looking for private cars, many with private car, taxi signs 4 blocks offer general 600, we asked a few to find 1 pressure to price, 500 baht, actually walk very far (traffic jams 1 hour, 45 minutes without traffic jams), finally we gave 50 baht tip. Little car, 6 seats, to between 700-800 baht. Phuket-Phuket accommodation if only interchange, it is best to live in Alba East Beach, Buji Town, but heard or town, nothing to see, so it is recommended that live in the Centre of the Bobby East Beach, which is the main street near Bangla Road. Alba East Beach was not high hotels holiday village occupied, General Hotel built in from the beach across the street, so it is not necessary to have to live in the beach, away from the beach, 2, 3, street place went to the beach is also very convenient. Our first night live farther away from Bangla Road, later PP Island back live near Bangla Road, evening dinner and buy things more convenient. Hotel I stayed in the two are not recommended. The first is the northern part of Eastern Beach Alba Patong Lodge Hotel (1900 baht for triple room), the second old! is Bangla Road nearby White Sand Hotel (1700 baht for triple room), the old, but hot water stability! Phuket-Phuket PP island ferry to the beach of NBC East PP Island, to the side of travel agencies ask price, usually 600 baht, Mini Bus shuttle back and forth with round-trip ticket, our 3 personal bargain 550 baht/person. Some travel agencies offer 800 baht round-trip, one-way 400 baht, do not know whether the boat a little better, but I feel that I'm sitting in the boat. The frequency of ferry season, high season schedules more, September is the low season, day two boat: Phuket-PP, 8 a.m.-2 p.m.; PP Island-Phuket 9 a.m.; 2: 30 pm. Have heard 1 got the boat, but are not sure, ask tour operators. In PP Island shore to call 10 baht per person on the island of protection money. Alba East Beach shopping near Bangla Road, many hawkers selling shoes, Bikini, beach skirts, and so on beach related things. I bought a waterproof bag, 5Yan-6 color, from 5 to 20 litres, 5 litres is beautiful! the most expensive price is 283 baht, 10 liter cheapest is probably around 320 baht. Jung Ceylon shopping mall near, buy better quality. If you want to buy Phuket Naraya, going to the Central Festival, Buji Town, it is said that there are 20 baht bus to the evening, but I asked, said the bus 7 p.m. without, if you go back and forth is buggy, 400 baht, so I didn't go, anyway, in Bangkok has bought 10, then buy is used to give as gifts. PP Island accommodation in Phi Phi Internet recommended Viewpoint Resort (3 per room 1650 baht), ton Sai Bay on the other side of the beach Loh Dalam Beach, away from the View Point closer, but we live in the mountains with View Point went almost; PP Islands ton Sai terminals around 10 minutes; we want sea view cabins only fan didn't air conditioning at night do not open the window, not a lot of mosquitoes. Because live sea view House 5th floor stone stair climbing, luggage can be transported by car for hotel brought down and up the hotel has a small lane dedicated run Lee. This first-class hotel landscape, that is, the amount is too small for breakfast, or worthy of recommendation. PP Island day three Island Tour: 1, own Pack a long tail boat, I see the cheapest price is 1500 baht package 6 hours or so, not sure whether you can bargain; but do not pack ton Sai Terminal taxi Boat, their asking price 2500 baht, didn't have to bargain. This long-tail boats generally up to sit around 5-6 individuals, not pack lunch. 2, in travel agencies buy long-tail boat for a day tour around the island, this long-tail boat little, block 12, everyone received 450 baht, pack a lunch. 3, in travel agencies buy Speed Boat tour around the island in one day, this is not the long tail boat boat estimated so short, easy to seasickness suggested or by Speed Boat, I buy price is 500 baht/person for Speed Boat tour around the island in one day, when the said package to watch the sunset, then probably 5 ton Sai returned to port, the ship's staff said today cloudy see the sunset, we do not insist, anyway, back to the hotel will also be able to watch the sunset. I see a lot of Speed Boat quote is about 1000 baht/person, say a price estimate might be a good point, the ship's staff of professional, lunch good points, and ship directly stopped in Maya Bay Maya Bay, because in Maya Bay ashore to give top protection money, instead of in the Maya Bay, opposite the beach stop, then walk past. Our mission is quite the opposite in Maya Bay Beach, snorkeling shore or sitting small boat ashore, walk 5 minutes to the Maya Bay. Circle Island Tour stop of the main attractions are these: Bamboo Island, water that Ching! PP Lay is small PP Island Maya Bay if you read the Lyon na of psychedelic Beach Beach, full of hope for Maya Bay! Shark Point it is said that you can see sharks, I snorkeling for a long time no see, but see very little Nemo clown fish Money Bay monkey Bay, a small beach, great for people who make up the monkey can only accounted for here, you can bring up feeding the watermelon banana and pineapple. Viking Bay group comparison peculiar stone geomorphology PP island is I went to the most beautiful islands, if you went to Phuket, be sure to go to PP Island, I do not understand why people go to Phuket can not go to the PP Island! PP island transportation in General is walking, because the main area of the island is very small; if you want to go from a beach, a beach to Terminal sat taxi Boat, fixed price 100 Baht/person, expensive, however. We are sitting in ton Sai Terminal taxi Boat to Long Beach, back there are taxi Boat. Snorkeling point: on the recommendation of the recommended to Bida Nok and Bida Nai & PP island near the best snorkeling spots should be here, but won't go 1 mission, if you take a long tail boat to go back and forth, estimated 1000 baht. Deep diving sites: Phuket is near the most famous Similan Islands, usually 4 days of diving, must be very expensive but worth it, but only in October to may, if interested go to specifically reserved for this time. Hin Daeng Hin Muang & more expensive, 5500 baht is October to may only open and Wreck + Anemone Reef is Phuket Sharkpoint this shark, boat trip from PP islands off 1 hour, 3 4 300 baht Local dive trip is PP island near the Bida Nok and Bida Nai & cheaper, 2500 baht I do not quite enough time, you do not want to dive the general point, or a later plans to Similan Island dive! other Thailand and order without imagination is good, although I have no what unpleasant experience, but encountered a mix of Canada, said that when in Bangkok is a lady boy (Goblin) stole my wallet, also be the hit at Goblin, go to the police report also does not have any effect, although generally Thailand human temperament character are better, but still want to be more careful.
