Thailand travel notes in September 2008--ready articles

In trying to go to Tibet and to no avail, I was not willing to go out with simmering, final destination lock--Phuket, first considered proximity and ever, and more.

Then it started on my journey booking hotel road.

Start your subscription at the end of August to Bangkok air tickets of Shanghai, this relatively easy, because I start date to avoid a national holiday, so the price comparison--ctrip on offer than my "informer" is a bit high, but due to me waiting for friends determine whether travel wait 2 days, special ticket 1900 + 1400 is gone, the last set to 2150 + 1400 votes, although expensive hundreds, but start time is 2 pm, and the non-discounted tickets start at 11 pm, still very worthwhile.

At the same time, my friend told me she set the end of September the tickets also provide 6800, let me very puzzled.

Bangkok to Phuket's ticket is of course true for Asia, cheap, cheapest probably 1650B, including tax, amounts to RMB 320.

However, for the first time, actually put the departure and arrival to the wrong. While Asia is not able to refund, tickets can only be changed, and you want to charge a handling fee of.. 500B. I was going to Bangkok from Krabi back to 300 block of tickets you want to change the travel route. Well, give up. But it is important to note that Asia due to cheap air ticket price, so do not include baggage shipping fee (but the site's instructions to display some routes--estimation is the international routes, there are 15 kg of free baggage), and if the airport check-in time to pay the checked baggage fees are more expensive, so booking in need of this fee is paid, I don't quite understand why 50B, 100B, so many options, depending on its Web site, start price is RMB 15 kg luggage, 48 element (that is almost 250B) Ah, anyway, I chose the Internet the most expensive option 250B. Insurance, no buy. Booked after the final confirmation page printed on it, with the simple meal is to buy, but I'm short on.

Note: as the original booking time for "luggage handling fee" means do not understand, that is, the higher the price, select allow luggage weight is bigger, so I selected the highest level 5-250B, actually handling fee refers to the airline luggage fees, and allow free baggage weight does not have any relationship, 5-refers to the 5 pieces of baggage, the weight or cannot exceed 15 kilograms, the excess part of the kilogram 75B (don't know domestic and international flight fees are the same), according to my situation, in fact, you should select 1-that is, 1 piece of luggage costs 50B.

Booking hotel is play, because this relationship to the entire holiday travel and the overall quality, this time, I know from ctrip communities to a few people often go to the site and research the accumulation to some experience to help you:

--hoteltravel. This site is the largest advantages is Google's satellite maps, you can visually see the distance from the beach of the hotel, you can even see the hotel's swimming pool.

However, as I was also not every city/island has satellite maps, even so, it's generally map is also very easy to use. So I always first in its ideal region on the map to find hotels within. In addition to the minimum price is not, really is a good site, regarding the introduction of the hotel are also more comprehensive, including facilities, close to attractions, the airport, City Centre, distance, but seems to tourists for a hotel of comment is not particularly high, or to refer to the comments on other sites to do a comprehensive measure.

--Asiarooms. This is a veteran of the hotel site, ginger really old spicy, after comparison of dozens of hotels, it offers the hotel price is really better than other Web sites are cheaper, at least $ 1 can be cheap.

Photos and more. The only fly in the ointment is to open it in page takes a long time, it is estimated that server. It is relatively simple compared to the map, so I always find hotels with hoteltravel, and then on the hotel price asiarooms and tourists.

In the past, and her boyfriend went out will select the relative quiet of the area, more attention to the hotel's own facilities, as this is traveling alone, I am in the hotel's choice is more inclined to the bustling area, travel convenient and more secure.

The hotel is away from the beach near, basic facilities, rooms to clean. After several days of online survey, eyes see spent, in Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi has locked the satisfaction of the hotel, the hotel is only 200 meters of distance and cheap, 24-30 dollars a night.

Booked air ticket will be out after a week, but after the second day saw Thailand coup d ' état of the message, then feeling is two words — depressed!! subsequent days I closely watching the situation in Thailand, at the same time on the Internet at everyone's reaction to fundamentally change itinerary/simply home squatting luck and resolute will travel to the end of the half, declare a State of emergency in Bangkok there are people who, after away, coupled with a friend to act as a advance troops before me to Phuket, so I decided to start the day, as long as Bangkok and Phuket Airport is closed, all according to plan.

Visa.

About landing check everyone there, but I still don't think when complications. What's more, Thailand Consulate is next door to, huh, huh. Download the form, opening a good proof in the company, holding a ticket (original and copy) and passport (original and copy) went to the Museum, 2 minutes to get to pay $ 230 (Thailand landing check to 200 Yuan/1000B, carryingCheng agency $ 330), was the next day to pick up on it. Their address is Weihai road 567, brilliant century mansion 15th floors, close to all the way to send and receive visa shimen time is Monday through Friday from 9: 30 to 11: 30, I applied for. Although Thailand Consulate, staff all the people of Shanghai, the Internet and the Consulate staff prior to ticket master says, I've opened the paper ticket, however collect materials staff see also didn't see my ticket back to the original, basically I took the information he has an eye on your watch. The Visa Office where there is no duplication of services, ticket and passport copy of the Home is the best prepared, or to the way the Maoming road cross a printing service to make a copy of scene, 5 hair. Time to get visa is the same, without Queuing.
