1.16 ~ 1.24, Phuket-Lanta8 days 8 tips in late free line

Today morning ride China Eastern flights to Shanghai, thanks to the support of friends, this completely free lines can be very successful, praise Thailand scenery is not to say, just say: profoundlyrealize why foreigners came to Thailand seaside, instead of going to Hainan.

Now only own the ins and outs of the free line, including recommendations.

Speaking of this trip, it is suddenly decided because and my family to LP adults remarried, so I decided to go to the beach to play a game, simply Relax and start deciding is Bali, netizens say yes, began to study the Bali trip, study for a week until the concrete implementation of the visa issue when found fairly serious, there are many uncertain factors, first of all, no one has been landing check, but first do a Singapore visa, and then on to Indonesia landing check, many people say that landing check on 30-year-old females may have problems running business check will go to Beijing, time, and is not allowed on the island of Bali is the rainy season now seems, therefore, the provisional decision to offshore puji Island, this time a week out, quickly to tickets and visas (although Thailand can landing check, but China Customs did not let out, visa is not here to criticize it), because it is a red eye flight China Eastern Airlines, local night 2 more to get, so making the travel agency was the first day of accommodation, while the rest of all myself, proved to be correct.

China Eastern Airlines plane or less travel, is famous for it's late, this time the appetite, aircraft on the runway and stopped and the announcer said found stumbling, mechanic mechanical failure is maintenance, for crying out loud, fortunately didn't fly, late nearly an hour to fly into the ground, find a rental and spent $ 15 to the Patong City Hotel, travel agency, given the very old a hotel, there lived some resident foreigners and China travel service for tenants, this is not to say that anyway, one day, the day the clock will find agent to prepare his go PhiPhi Islands, the hotel is found on the Internet is very expensive, you encounter a Singapore friends, told me there were too many people, PhiPhi hotel is also very expensive, since it is better to Relax, Lanta, very quiet place, so to switch teams, decided not to go PhiPhi to Lanta, (from puji Lanta Island is not a good line, further, to PhiPhi swap boats, if you go to Lanta, Krabi airport and aircraft to go to Lanta closer), find a good proxy for the second day ticket, each individual is responsible for receiving terminal 700B, in the ship encountered several Chinese fellow, men's pants Basic is wearing Beach on fashion shoes, lesbian see Sun really boarding time pestle tall foreigners have been avoided, it is recommended that you do not wear shoes to travel, so much money out to spend 10 bucks to buy a pair of slippers are also better equipped than this, there are lesbians do not really gone, because although tropical Thailand, practical and not hot, very dry, wearing a long-sleeved yarn than really much, there are a couple of bearded man, to the East of the Asian face of disdain, and several people were estimated to be France should be small in Japan, one and a half hours to PhiPhi, many people go PhiPhi, finally some people change the ship set off again, the way some local Lanta Hotel began soliciting, because the decision to go to LongBeach, so they followed a LongBeach on talked about, basically on good price, the seaside cabins Bunglow, prices at between 1000-1800B, last to a 1600 of The Front Beach (by sea), including breakfast.

And then it started on my 5 days 4 nights of total relax.

Lanta is really a good place to relax, I live register has not yet been admitted to the Chinese people, Asia I only see a little devils registered other to Europeans, white sand beaches, crystal clear waters make fascinating, people rarely, sporadic occasionally several people inside in sea water, beach side of the shade, some people lie in the hotel lounge or bamboo bed quietly watching the books, I hate my book of rare, with three collections, there are several people may be world's best of the beach to skin tanning, waiting for me when I haven't see black, I'd one day on the Sun-like with Thailand, all around are so harmonious, dinner there will be some birds fall on your side of the Chair to you sing, you take a walk on the beach there are dogs in front of you cheerful frisked and coconut trees there over the wing lining is the color of the Eagle (I think), in the post can Bunglow on a hammock, listening to the waves, quietly reading a book, cat ran to the House next door to hunt, the old man very wobbly by foreigners, are doing saw wood, wooden table, estimated here don't want to go, at the beach bar, barbecue House in the Sun on pitiful, cant wait lighted torches, campfires, neon lights, here's a bit dramatic sunset.

Time passed quickly, go a bit reluctant, but no way, in Lanta's quayside for better mutual ticket and Patong hotel, set in The Royal Paradise Hotel, this is a bit lapses, then you should go to Lanta front should be a good hotel, this hotel is next to the Patong City Hotel is a 4 star, possibly in the agent got price than at the hotel high up a lot, because in the hotel lobby there is an advertisement that has recently launched promotions, price, and not to me half, depressed. .....

There are also two days turned in Patong, Patong is a real feeling of excitement, too many people on the beach, it is estimated that almost with Sanya, nothing, go to Phuket Town turn in a circle is back, nothing harder last half a day is there time, etc.

To sum up, the first free line, and is free to go abroad, want to want to completely free line of friends

Friends a bit less useful:

1. ticket and visa,

1. international airfares fold out not openly, a proxy for the heart, the price is high, so you want to ask a few compare prices can differ by several hundred, to ask whether it is better not to include the insurance, flights, air tickets possible red-eye flights cheap 2, 3, 100, but the local is more two nights of accommodation costs, unless you like dragging luggage in the streets until the time of check in, or advance a half-day to the airport and other aircraft.

2. If a visa is Thailand, preferably, travel agency, since the Agency's spend as long as the turn of the passport and a 2 inch photo tickets (blue bottom or white base are rows) can, within the 300 price is more reasonable, if you want to go in some money, to fill in some form, but also the units to certify, the trouble was, I heard that ctrip just 280, Yes, at first did not see, buy airline tickets for travel agencies, spent 300.

2. live

If the red eye flights, it is best to book a hotel settled in advance, and then schedule the next day's journey, you can delegate travel agency, there is one thing, people want to make money, or at home when your own set, which you want to get a credit card, or send a message to the hotel ask that can directly to the hotel reception room, prices with online, and may even get a lower price, and so you go to a local, then you'd better to fully own fixed hotel, your English course requirements cannot be met by these simple conversation, not through a proxy agent for hotel is because it is a call to a given moment, you give the money to the agent, the agent must take part, and then only to the hotel.

If you arrange to go other places to play, and finally, we'd like to come back to this place by air, it is also the last of the hotel, you can set to specify the foreground, but to say it with the hotel when you want to receive the hotel free of charge, if the hotel does not have this service, you can be optimistic about the price, and then go to the agent, the agent will arrange for pick up the boat.

If it is not a season, the hotel is quite, empty because all of the industry are for travel services, full street in addition to the diet is the hotel, so you can pick your favorite meditation to the hotel, when there is no need to sea view or something, because I found I had these two sea view are nothing special, except the price high.

Local hotel beds are generally too soft, the first night is a big bed, two individuals as long as one person, another simply can't sleep, Bunglow bed either, or 4-star hotel (5 stars haven't lived, I do not know) is not comfortable, the bathroom did not exhaust facilities, no exhaust facilities do yourself to think about the consequences.

Proposed as possible live Bunglow, the cabins are nice, price: 4, 5-star hotel cheap, but if you are a family of three, or four basically one is enough, enough big bed (to confirm), then it is also possible to put something to sleep on the ground is dry, I stayed for 8 days, 7, is the final day of the rain, the rainy season to another.

I live in Lanta time some foreigners are 4 people a Bunglow, also without additional money in hotel beds but to pay for it.

3. line

Puji island many of my friends are discussed, basically those, it was also this self-driving tour, not to encourage some books family swim because Thailand is keep to the left, and the third island around the island are some of the mountain, 30 ~ 40-degree slope with a sharp turn of the road a lot, but China's license can not be used in the local or a problem, because China's license all characters, people may not necessarily Thailand police, some people say that they don't look that was in town, I met two times, the police in the country Highway located road card check a driver's license, and is designed for questioning of foreigners.

Thailand's oil is not cheap, 95 gasoline (like, a pile of Thai followed by 95) is almost a liter, 25.75B 5.4RMB/liter.

Island tours provide summons are agent there, they have no ticketing Hall, Terminal every agent price are the same, basically to PhiPhi is 500B/person, puji Island to Lanta is 700B/person, responsible for receiving terminal sent on board, the staff received off the list to your clothes with a small tag, and ship.

4. eat

Many people say how good seafood, it is to eat a eat shrimp, but even the best shrimp are doing bad, Thailand dishes really nothing to eat, eat seafood to eat that come to Qingdao is a good, fresh seafood, I want to eat one, so much seasoning taste of the seafood blotted out, really for the disposal of the days of Flash!

Finally do not want to eat food, go to Thailand hotel on top of the so-called Chinese restaurant, said I, name "Royal Restaurant", but all the menus are available in English, and then with Japanese, I insist that only took out an English with English menu, there are many English only, not the Chinese, the point of a green pepper beef, a Braised tofu, a fried beef, a Yangzhou fried rice, green pepper, fried tofu beef so-so would not know what the perplexed is not recognized, the other two, not to mention that last accounts even charge even tip spent 1500B NND, tip, did not give, because eat bad mood, only gave 40B, they also receive 12% or 15% service charge, don't know why I have to pay a tip?

Puji Island no fruit, if any, is also very expensive, not recommendable, so not to eat.

Bought two scarlet, estimated at 3 pounds down a little, it took 360B, I rely on that money? Farmers ' markets in Lanta bought two small cucumber watermelon and 6, this also cheaper, spent 80B.

Thailand's Islands, the shortage of fresh water, so the hotel generally only supply two bottles of drinking water, thirsty, only to buy a drink, you can be sure not to drink tap water, even

Provision of drinking water, boil then becomes brush pot of boiling water, the water outside selling is basically about 500 ml 8B, seen in the bird's nest, salt water, drink a little better is France's รค¾ in the country is also very expensive, local 500cc is 36B, cans of Cola is essentially 12B, these are the supermarket prices, I think you have skills you wouldn't go to the owner doesn't allow? Hotel basically doubled, bars of small bottle of beer, is basically a bottle 50B.

5. flowers

Flowers, that is, consumption, money, many people have mentioned the so-called Ocean Plaza, in my field, that is similar to a small city in the State Department store, fancy someone went to the local shopping?! say ADI Nike cheap, like Xujiahui FoxTown inside of ADI Nike half of the year than it is cheap and discount style is also good, though better than he is out of season, something puji island really is an expensive! don't understand that there are so many people out there talking about-about shopping, there's Necklace ring I suspect are from Yiwu wholesale past, General cotton t-shirt price in about, this is 250B I can cut to the minimum price, amounting to approximately 55 or so, the only difference is that the above printed Phuket, Lanta, or drew an elephant, 55 Yuan at home you can buy better, but the local thin round had a population of clothes are unique, I cut down the price, you can locally 350B wear sunscreen, wear, and not hot.

Can't figure out why there are so many domestic tourists will go to the third Island to buy Emerald and Pearl Jewelry, I went to puji town came back to beat a rental, drivers that gave me a good price, according to the procedure he took me to four shopping centres to knock chapter that I mentioned above that several local, I said, the first place is to sell anything without reading the whole, directly from the portal only export, on export, see selling key ring, because you want to bring something to a colleague, the price is cheaper than Patong, bought a few, second place was the sale of pearls, one set of tell me that this introduction, to finally use my English said: we have a lot of this kind of pearl farm; she was laughing, she said yes, and then let me take a look at it, the whole body and back, out through the cashier, where several compatriots and bought a lot, billing, and finally even the Renminbi, like only a few places is RMB, the third place is a so-called world's largest jewelry Mall (the name is in this way, Thailand also boast of, HA HA), met lots of people inside salesperson will be Chinese, the fourth best selling food, buy a little.

Finally, back to Patong.

Personally feel that, in the third Island never mess to buy things, really need to buy some souvenirs, a little on it, those so-called will speak Chinese market are specially designed for the Chinese people's market, if you really enjoy the owner doesn't allow the process of the other things, the locals prefer you are Japan, see full street Japan car will know, a lot of people see me have told me that "wow" your gas, I of course, GRD.

On a tip, I do not know whether it is domestic people want to learn, then Europeans hard set to die move? I Asia is in accordance with the method described predecessors to pay for tips, but I see a number of occasions that the foreigner doesn't seem not to tip, especially when it was received we go to the pier, a bunch of people, I have a tip that pinch in hand, a car, the foreigners who have gone, there is no pay, I do not know tipping in Thailand who research from predecessors, where dinner is very expensive, but you pay a tip, basically it is handed to the boss there, could give the attendant to do not know, this question needs further research.

I made a note when Lanta, basically the foreigner who does not deliberately go to tip is a little more you can keep the change. As for the hotel Doorman into hotel is to help you with the luggage you can tip, go basically are your own baggage, there is no need to pay.

Buy something to pay attention to local Unti, seafood, barbecue are generally 100 grams to units of measurement, as regards the fruit (not the side of the cut, the local fruit stall), uh UH chatter, mile I was perplexed, and didn't understand, so I'd rather look out point.

6. Exchange your money

When at home, with points us in the local or preferable, to 50 or 100 US dollars, as for the $ 1 and $ 10, not more, basically a 10 dollar (payable to hotel Doorman tip), 2, 3, 10 dollars is enough, because I arrived that night no baht, so use the dollar to pay for fares, as regards the other conditions are basically not to denominations USD exchange rate is relatively high, and the exchange rate is not the same as every day, looking at how high you can exchange points, but once in Thai farmers Bank a "since 1996," not to Exchange US dollars, do not know why, and then I went next door to Bangkok Bank Exchange.

Local Exchange points, a Manchu Street business time estimates to 9 p.m. local time (10: 00 Beijing time) and ATM machine, you can collect the money, there are international card is each ATM can be removed, but no international card also does not matter, I am using industrial and commercial bank of China UnionPay card, take twice the money, basically Thai farmers Bank (simplified "Thai farmers Bank"), Bangkok Bank and a red flag color Bank all ATM machine can be directly used UnionPay card takes the money, then the ratio of domestic clearing, settlement and I do not know, Thai farmers Bank and even Chinese simplified interface, very kind, there is a very provocative simplified Logo "while being abroad. ....

"Is there any other Bank, the business had studied, only temporary, hastily draw money, baseThis has three banks is sufficient, because as long as it is a tourist place is on the Bank, and the establishment of more stunning, note the ATM machine on UnionPay sign, Chinese language, there is a little devils of JCB Card sign signs with our payment is similar, except that he is not a Chinese, but not the full Cup.

If it is not a commercial bank of China UnionPay card, the best advice before departure of your card-issuing bank to ask whether you can sign in Thailand have UnionPay ATMs.

Very simple, a call to ask.

The airport also has an ATM machine, a row, there are various banks.

Convertible to a plan, do not change much, the last remaining (1000 + n * 500) can be a B left (n is a number), with a taxi to the airport and buy airport charges.

7. on the entry and exit registration

Domestic travel time 3 each time you fill in the form, and more on China business, estimated to solve domestic employment issues (just like China's domestic traffic enforcment, the addressed many of the employment problem), exit to fill health registration forms, wasting paper, destruction of forest resources!

Exit: Pudong International Airport has a lot of desk with two types of list, a health guarantee, but customs declaration list, if you have a notebook with words, it is best to fill out in case of trouble (actually no one checks), is a chapter that they do not look, if you have nothing to declare that they are into the frontier inspection when receiving the declaration list, after you declare the things they do not receive the account, you want to save.

Check out registration card ready when needed more into customs fill out registration, at the entrance. In the aircraft if you are fit, remember to follow the air hostesses to Thailand entry list (all in English), because many of the aircraft were sent to travel, with uniform filling of personnel, if you don't, she will think you are with the group, the content is a surname (Family name), name (first name), in which puji Island live in (just fill in the Hotel will do), some less important blind fill becomes, name, passport number, visa number, flight number, do not fill or line. After the third Island to get out of the airport, as they found, as if there would be no green channel, red channel Basic are mixed together out of the luggage is not checked at all, someone took all regardless.

Immigration: in Thailand airport, first locate your registration card and airline checked baggage (here also criticized at China Eastern Airlines, are all flights operating in the same time, why do we have to wait until they run out of Shanghai Airlines ' handling for China Eastern Airlines? so I can not find airlines, ask later heard about the original is to be done on the flight, the Shanghai Airlines sign off before they get on China Eastern Airlines), and then do not fill in forms, Thailand than in domestic flight is also simple, well after the registration of a licence to buy airport fees, usually in front of the entrance, it can't read it out of the window with the "500B" window is.

As with domestic security, but their instrument seems not very ling, I am at home when the belt on the metal will be checked out, there was no response. If you have left point baht and you don't want to leave so you can spend in the airport, buy stamps and postcards or something that many people were there to buy alcohol and tobacco, inexplicably, Thailand is famous for wine? maybe yes travel syndrome, a tourism that dopey, wanted to buy something, but is not a complete disregard for the value.

In the back of the plane, our great Motherland also need you to fill three seats on the table, or a health guarantee, customs declaration, entry orders, are Chinese, do not say that the customs declaration form if you would like the customs declarations that piece together to Customs (they also don't look only for that program).

And then came back.

8. temperature

Puji island is in the tropics, but now the temperature 30 degrees, so not hot, just a bit, pay attention to Sun Sun block, you can wear long-sleeved clothes of thin, I eat ice cream are sweating people didn't actually puji Island how night sweating, or air conditioning, even a little cold, especially in the seaside Bunglow, but do not open the window, there are mosquitoes, Thailand's mosquito General language ability in relatively poor, hear a loud Hum Buzz sound.

Don't know why they did not have a window screen, you may be able to go to the business on the ground, to give them an extra window screen.

9. life habits

The Lanta, many shops in the door to take your shoes off, you just have a look at the House is not wearing shoes.

10. other

They say that Japan had the best-of-breed products to your own use, the second stream of selling to Europe, three flow of products sold to China, the four flows to the South-East Asia, full street 95 per cent of cars are Japan, a Honda Accord-like sitting in there like the noise of aircraft, was a step in the confused, motorcycle 99% is Japan, tyres with mountain bike riding in almost all of the fun of getting, and you do not know why local broad daylight driving motorcycles are open lamp, do not know why.

Thailand very few bike.

Thailand is a friendly, this is the most friendly I have ever seen in one place, but also very confident, I lived in 4 days Lanta, should a cent deposit didn't want until leaving the money to him.

Certainly live in the country for at least 4 days to 5 days of the deposit.

By the sea, it is best to prepare for a larger fabric or mat or something, you can lie down and rest, have a batik cloth, twice to put the rope hammock, when so many foreigners are the two pillars of the Bunglow between a this stuff, reading a book, you can also by the sea when the mat, large size I bought one, like 250B.

See the volume together with a rope tied together is that when I bought only a rope, no way, but when the hammock and buy one, it should be noted thatIf you want to buy it can ask the owner did a second root distribution.

Calling card I think there's no need to buy, I'm going to spend a day of 300B bought a 1-2 card, result of a call missed, if you stay for long enough, you might consider buying one.

Because the time is not too much, not to many places to go, so in the future, there is a next generation, then consider where to stay on one or two months, Thailand is a good place, suitable for all kinds of people, think lively, a place, quiet, there are places like Oak.located NET words can also be found, if you're tired of the crowds in Hainan and find a farmers market can sell it to you when the spots, Thailand is a good choice.

The trouble with laptops is basically no Internet access in the hotel, go online to outside Internet surfing, increasing employment and money-making opportunities and local hotel outlet only two eyes, star that the can into the foreground to add a 2 head go three head socket, if it is a seaside Bunglow General will not have, so don't take laptops, digital photos to pour so you can take a digital Po or active hard drive and a few-in-one card on the line, you can pour out to the Internet, the Internet price is more expensive than domestic in 1B/min (in local not see a better than Shanghai cheap).

Later.. .....

So, I did not have possession of baht in spend before leaving.
