Every year in April to November is Thailand Tourism in low season, but at home, most people travel possibilities in May and October, because the two long vacation.

Reasonable price to avoid international flight season and save travel expenses abroad, has become our Thailand travel anterior compare headache of choice until early April finally identified 27 April-9 may-Indian Airlines round-trip journey, a long 2 months preparing finally settled.

In March, when the air tickets and travel base finalize later, I began to prepare for online reservations and tickets in the Asia-Pacific website.

Reservation after comparing selected hoteltravel.com, after comparison, their service is very good, and they have the lowest rate guarantee. Asia also as the CityGuide were described by the "static", but later in Thailand we also witness to their children and the elderly passengers, while Asia cheap availability is wrong, but we carry child, even in long team a is staff please go to the priority check-in queue. India aviation also reflects on the child's care, before the aircraft galley, baby because of excessive fatigue and drowsy, empty the woman come to ask whether you want to let your baby get a meal to eat well and sleep, and thoughtful idea let me on many industry has had a rich service.

Travel Agent Todd early April for a visa and booked Indian Airlines flight tickets, 27 April-9 may Shanghai-Bangkok-Shanghai, because it is a small team of 10 people prices and farfetched to avoid domestic 5.1 leave, so round as long as the 1980 yuan/person (prices in mid-April to 1380 RMB/person), Visa 230 CNY; in mid-April to get air tickets, visas and began to prepare for everyday language, currency and travel products.

= Swap baht =

I have read many travels, that can take us dollars or RMB after entry, and then replaced the Thai baht currency in circulation is baht, unless domestic credit card can use RMB repayment (but not all places can pull cards, mainly shopping shopping more convenient for some, in Thailand I have several times through credit card, only to find really convenient, but came back to billing clarity); Finally, a week before his departure he read a travelogue, let me be compared best exchange rates in RMB 5000 rows changed by the Thai baht (about 1: 4.67).

Later in the Bangkok airport, see the exchange rate of RMB to baht is probably enough to confirm 3.9 everybody said, Thailand banks suppress RMB, $ exchange rate is not high, probably 1: 4.2. If we fear because your money troubles, it is recommended that the internal for-basic enough, then take some Thai baht currency and US dollars, the exchange rate of us $ 50,100 face higher, for playing crazy Super budget, big shopping malls inside shopping or hotel direct consumer proposal drawn credit card.

Look at the road, the lowest exchange rate at the Bangkok airport, Krabi Island than PP Island exchange rate high.

But regardless of the exchange rate is slightly higher or slightly lower, you want to use the time stop myself to a thick pile of baht. We spend our budget-especially when the customs from Thailand, in duty-free shops take clean last baht, or just the final consumer to the credit card, pick up a large brush-brush, leading to the full cost of per capita consumption exceeds 50 million, is not something bad is spent in small Q 's, but also apportion the 2000.

In Shanghai for Thai baht at the Bank of China (branches) appointment, usually two days in advance.

I was in the second branch of the Pudong Pu (Pu 305, close to the course of the road, Tel: 68589101) reservation change, par also relatively new (it is a band of gold). Remind ask rate when making your reservation and to carry the documents, if you just better go to Hong Kong and Macao and the like, and to change foreign currency must carry a good preparation of EEP.

= Goods list =

1. Bangkok-Phuket-PP-Krabi's Raiders Bible (travels essence and personal line planning, scheduling), Thai brochure, business administrator (subsequently prove very important);

2. passports, credit cards, driver's license, hotel and airline ticket voucher print pieces and USB flash drives;

3. swimwear, swim goggles, parasols, sun visors, and precautionary series;

4. clothing: slippers, beach shoes, pants, ultra cool clothing; each of them in to almost 7 sets with foot for change;

5. drugs: eye drops, put, chuangketie, alcohol cotton, motion sickness drugs, Yunnan baiyao, cold medicine, Berberine and montaut stone powder (adults and children of laxative, fortunately not used), hundred clothing Ning Pediatric chewable tablets, vitamins, etc.;

6. snacks such as duck, beef jerky, chewing gum, tea, instant coffee (the later proved that no, the hotel has provided)

7. mobile phone and charger, digital cameras and card readers

8. sport bottle, chopsticks, storage bag, a little plastic lunch box

9. the wallet and Home key

=== Customs ===

From Pudong airport customs need to fill out an exit card and a health certificate (as), anyway, if two cards at the entrance didn't get list fill is in front of the entrance delay for a while.

If the crew members did not ask whether immigration card, on the plane from the recall

Immigration card, go to Thailand and from Thailand returns when all require the identification of the card.

In addition, once the customs in the country, has to go out with cigarettes or returning dude remember save some time into the airport duty free shop, "Chinese" smoke narrow eyes are waiting for you! Bangkok airport duty free shop, "China" is about 290 Yuan/article, cheaper than we are many, each with two.

= Bangkok immigration =

After the plane went along with the crowd go a little faster as far as possible, so that earlier called the car to the hotel; baggage, there are two options, one is called a taxi, one is called the Mini-bus; if arrival time is not too late and you select the mini-bus, you can ask whether there are any mini-bus service and then buy a ticket wait; we chose taxi-servise Department the registration of a car, his arrival to 600B (does not include overhead costs, overhead necessary to pay for 60B).

Bangkok taxi drivers drive are very cool, I feel this is an unlimited speed city, despite the traffic jams. Subsequently, a taxi from the hotel to the international airport, plus the elevated costs only 270B, a Bangkok drivers were frustrated polemic Bangkok airport taxi monopoly practices, because the taxi is not allowed to stand at the airport. The distance from the international airport is the domestic airport (domistic), the price is approximately half of the international airport, luggage, you can use this method, besides internet and there are traffic between the airports domistic bus for service, but it has the time and frequency of the specific situation due to time constraints we have no clear to understand. But the fear of the trouble, it is best not to give himself a troublemaker, after all, tourism in all of the time is entered in the travel costs, save time only for rest and play should be the first.

Our flight is more than 10 pm, arriving at Bangkok in about 2 a.m. (Thailand time is 1 am), because the plane was late some customs delays for some time, so the original plan was to arrive at the airport in Bangkok and immediately after finding a taxi themselves, but because of the relatively late and newcomers to finally decided to secure points in the airport taxi service at his destination, the result is 600B price took a brand new Toyota Corolla, the price is higher than its call rental probably expensive 100B, entered the room already Thailand time at 3 am.

At the arrival gate, on the first floor of the Hall there are Bangkok map you can access, but China maps as if she hadn't, only the Japanese maps out after when holding, is also very convenient, because in fact shopping malls and bustling zone on the map there are clear signs to the hotel reception, usually have a map of the national language.

TIPS:

1. best put slippers in the carry-on bag, 4 hours sailing city can on an airplane to YY comfortably.

Aircraft should be a pillow and blanket for rest;

2. If you do not want to miss the "red eye flights" most valuable at night, you can check in formalities when discussing staff provide a window seat;

3. take less than 2-year-old infant passengers before boarding the best description can also provide cots and can hang bed seats so that adult children think hard, in short, in the journey, to the extent possible require the service to provide a little bit of consideration, so that the child is convenient and comfortable; the majority of cases, others are willing to provide their best effort to help;

4. will the printed important travel information with you wherever you go, anytime access, before you get to the main tourist destinations include: access ID number and the primary information, first stop in Bangkok (or Phuket) hotel reservation number and the name and address and telephone number, and provide scheduled services of website consulting phone, you need to produce a paper of the voucher;

5. the need to exchange currency at the Airport (the airport Exchange is not satisfactory, the best is good enough words);

6. leisure summer wore a in it, directly after the plane to take off your coat, saving the trouble of changing clothes, because Thailand after landing or very high temperature.

When almost silent drivers carrying our smooth but not lonely Bangkok Street and highway driving, looking busy but not a Swank's light box, billboards, Suao is a little less excited about the mill, the hotel has arrived —

Landing of Bangkok, the program begins!

A bit wordy Oh, we choose to see section see:)

=== === Bangkok-day == === ===

I am fix through hoteltravel on broadly familiar with when room Bangkok's terrain, although I am a very not geographic concepts, see map each street to recite the words "on the North by East West and South of the left and right, in order to not be dispersed" Q work effort, I still have patience through regional prosperity, hotel comments and intuition in the Silom area MRT station near Sam Yan, scheduled for Samsung's Mandarin Hotel (Mandarin Hotel).

Hotel traffic and transit traffic convenient, facilities between domestic three-star and 2-star, but most people forget is that it is the whole trip breakfast most sumptuous hotels, even in Phuket hotel very comfortable AMARI, nor did it sumptuous breakfast – the breakfast we travel in first praise! live in Bangkok, of course, should you have many choices, such as we can from the central business district, comfort, and personal consumption budget and select the appropriate hotel. We have kids, because they had no intention to shopping, lazing about Bangkok City probably the style, so the choice of our still relatively satisfactory.

Talk about Bangkok traffic, Bangkok really worthy of the "city of Angels" argument, although it is well known in the world of traffic jams.

But because the taxi starting 2 km-35B, coupled with our understanding of the location on the map and the actual position or have access, so take a lease of our trip, but first choiceBe strange there are two main blocks sliom and saim, Center shopping area taxi generally refused to play the table, the hotel has its own taxi servise, many hotels do not allow a taxi waiting (similar to the airport, it is for this reason, the appointment time off the airport taxi's expensive, it is said that the reason is that other companies are very resistant to the taxi driver), the General conditions of our hotel, guest taxi before. Back to the hotel from the Centre districts, if away from the BTS (also called Sky Train, light rail) or MRT (is the Metro) comparison of the site, select use underground traffic or light rail transit; rail and subway transit point on their respective stations are marked on the map, and domestic rail transit no difference, you only need to pay attention to when travelling in the direction you want. We also took its toll TUK-TUK, General distance 80-100B or so, but because the canopy is relatively low, after about blotted is not clear, so I used to think that you could take it for the purpose of the urban landscape sights, but also not to experience another urban style. Because small Q people is small, so basically there is a good experience, and later even as long as the Thailand see TUK-TUK is tearing us closer to this round shaston simply put it down, and because the love in Phuket and several tuk-tuk boss hits it, huh, huh. Metro MRT and LRT BTS station computer automatic ticketing need to prepare for change (10B coins), but your money is not very convenient, some stations have no artificial ticketing, BTS rail site in the main business district, in General 5 minutes, there are two lines, prices at between 10-40B. Subway it is recommended that the Bangkok has to buy a few Thai silk do zero-wallet Pack, they can be used to reserve some small change, too many local needs change, including tips for 20B, but do not use the coins to the tip, it is not polite.

It is important to note that, regardless of whether they are travelling in Bangkok which kind of rail traffic, it is best to take the station name to find out, I take the hotel's Chinese map out a small mistake.

MRT-Sam Yan, Chinese sign a "third culture" that result when I buy a ticket didn't get the map of English to miss, ticket sales from the words to say the Chinese name, Miss a face surprised, and tell me not to take the MRT to another place by BTS, and go transit. I did, I think wrong, and when I came in this car, just let me know how to take a wrong? results make clear later on, they took me to listen to the "third culture" into the light of the "Siam" (Chinese standard of "Sara" * * Note, we can take this word sounds good practise, this is a bustling business district station head) — well, the first parroting announced fails, then in order to prevent further out jokes, and prevent parts of Thailand English is very poor people out of command, I decided to give them a look at Japanese map, above all, Tai-ying three text.

In addition, the city BUS is not in a hurry of Bangkok.

This and my travel habit of many cities, go, must take a long line of buses, not even sit back to the starting point. Bangkok city bus prices are very cheap, I can see and riding are some ticket cars, 5B, 8B, 12B several price, if you want to get off, it is best to ask the conductor or driver remind.

Want to take a River Taxi (which is what we call cruise) tour of the charming River friends, in addition to maps to understand better the starting and arrival terminal, you also need to look at the date of the cruise is to stop, we went to two days, just what is the Royal ceremony so suspended, since the prior didn't understand clearly, take a boat, as a result of the ferry, only from one bank to another bank even counted, though only ship-3B, results because the other side of the transfer out of curiosity, walked hundreds of meters to go to another ride back to the Terminal, and no way to hire a car, because it is a similar commodity market alley, in the heat through the alleys, small Q and lost no time in being in the hands of a NAP, so all the way to sweat – want to experience the feelings of the best ways, it is recommended that no explicit destination error mistakenly hit, hit, always discover a new land.

We went through, I checked the next map, is near the Royal square, cross the small street to find Terminal, then ferried across the local share of the large flow of tent, locals, colorful Thai street food and barbecue, or there are several small bar, elegant leisure. Back then, I'd walk through once again alone as streets, like a kind of tedious but in-depth strange feeling.

== General attractions = =

Temples, personal recommendations and take a look at Grand Palace, the classic architectural comparison, in the midst of magnificent squats, ignore the different languages and colour of tourists, you can put your own imagination into old former Prince and Princess ... then look at the Anna aftertaste and the King, let the beautiful clothes and ritual in history and gracefully from in front of you.

1. the Grand Palace (Granda Palace), daily 8: 30-15: 30 opening up, fares 250B

2. Jade Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Kaew), in the Grand Palace compound

3. the sleeping Buddha Temple (Wat Po) comparison from the Grand Palace, opening hours are 9: 00-17: 00, 20B tickets

4. the Buddha (Erawan Shrine) open, free daily 6am-11pm.

Called "responsive" Buddha, is said to pray for the extraordinary, BTS chit Lom station of nearby shopping centres near the Buddha. But we didn't hear back, we worship the statues of the Buddha is a mental problem man hit broken, so that although the incense is estimated, no thanks to the true Buddha. Every time there's drumming performances, the gap at the end of the performance, small Q also invited to beat some of the percussion instruments, very excited.

Thailand's King in the subjects of affection, that, to the

Over Thailand friends should have the experience, the experience of the Royal ceremonies or rituals, it should be so lucky, do not go to the friends, with this in mind, I think it is worth looking forward to. There are also some of the more famous, such as Zheng Wat Arun, Vidar (Royal Dragon Boat Museum is because there is no time to go, but whether walking or in various types of transport in, those tiles with gold ornaments, burning incense, fragrant bunch of hanging out of the building, from my eyes Flash will deepen over the full of faith and peace in the country.

== Shopping = =

Through any of the maps are not difficult to find Bangkok shopping centre districts.

You can select a convenient means of transport, and as long as you don't like this as long as the evening began to turn, basically can successfully found back to the hotel's direction and travel by road.

Our plan, the shopping area of the "early spring" and "littleness".

The BIG c, probably within a radius of 1 km of the high-end consumer shopping centre as well as the weekend market.

Upscale malls simply and General comparative urban consumer psychology, see some famous brand relevance, sport apparel, bags, handbags, underwear, etc.; given the row to the sea, so these consumption mainly behind the selection of some of the trip, such as several campaign t-shirt, bag, naraya Boots cosmetics, etc.

Go to the husband of sore feet (women only, there is no eye-sore feet), he brought his son in the shopping centre of foot massage massage shops do, son is filled with the fragrance of nature squirted Chair rummage.

Big C and didn't bring me joy of shopping, apart from the 5th floor of authentic Thai cuisine from this let me to embark on a journey of taste, the harvest is used 700B bought a trolley case, preparation of depositary Shanghai flew over no longer need thick clothing, used in making and buying souvenirs of sporadic; also, in addition to the NI 维亚 sunscreen, can't find more of the sun set, Sharon had bought both children and adults of Sun protection and Sun SPF50, although the taste is not ideal but in this way were full.

Strongly recommended 5 floor (either on the 4th floor) of the central parts of the island cuisine, a bustling Thai meal, unfortunate name forget, but it is easy to find, because the number of rich and there local people, the price should be cheap, but three people eat down plus beverages not to eat to 80RMB and very crooked, menu is the kind of picture, really do not know how to point at the next table, the waiter brought the world to be very simple English can exchange, lemon juice drink sweet flavour. Don't like Thai meal on this floor can also be selected to other dishes, such as Japanese cuisine in Thailand and no expensive; in China have pizza and American fast food. To me personally, and sour of Thailand dishes really makes my appetite. Order time basically can know is like eating fried, grilled or steamed, fried (fried), BBQ (burning), steam (steam).

Weekend market to buy some souvenirs and travel products is a good choice, because just caught Saturday night flights to Phuket, so Q gave me four hours to satisfy their curiosity and desire to do the shopping checkout and luggage storage after he took his son bubble, I kept by MRT in Chatuchak Market (at first inspection Park Station) and get off, walk through the Park Plaza, rushed into the the fabulous large market under the RIBA.

Probably around several stores later on known market, think it's something you can block, he bought a plastic lever bag, strong and bright — results when three hours later, I was a little weak Asian woman desperately dragged the bodies of large bags, I heard the sound, sadly saw the clocking, although things are not too heavy, but drum drum bag is very harsh, I now think of that scene is probably much like Xiangyang Road market in the various European beauty, towing big Pack small bag, each time at that time I thought, well, the market will allow them to go back after that made a fortune — I bought a set of Thai silk bed and table covers, two pieces carving pendant, a pith, a small bag, some folding technology lights (then regret buying much too heavy, back to regret buying less is not enough, so beautiful), a wooden vessel, the total spend 4000B, equivalent to 800 RMB. Would also like to buy more to send friends, no cash, forborne to change money, fear of her husband, betrayed to obediently returned to tell Q, I mainly to buy him a visor!
