How to play Phuket Free Travel Guide in Phuket, Thailand 20 18

Phuket is a very good place. Today, Bian Xiao will tell you about the tourism strategy of Phuket. Now, let's look at the relevant information of Bian Xiao and see what other information is available.

Travel Wi-Fi suggests renting mobile Wi-Fi from travel websites (or apps), about 12-20 RMB/day, with a deposit of 500 RMB, which can be returned locally. It's really convenient to travel, and there is Internet at any time. Personally, I think it is a bit troublesome to handle calling cards. It is not expensive for several people to rent a mobile Wi-Fi together, and the price is very affordable.

At present, the visa fee in Thailand has been lowered to August this year. It takes a long time for an individual to go to the embassy, and it will be more troublesome to hand in a lot of materials. It is recommended to handle it from the travel website. About 65,438+000 RMB is enough for one person. I personally handle it from Ctrip. I submitted the application form, personal passport and photos of the last three months to their company and sent them back in about 15 working days, which is very convenient. In addition, the visa on arrival is currently reduced by 2000 baht. After flying to Thailand, you need to fill out the form and queue up.

Ps: When a travel agency sends back a passport, it usually attaches an entry card and an exit card.

Card, it is recommended to fill in in advance to save time, and be careful not to have typos. When entering the country, the entry card will be taken away and the stamped exit card will be kept. When leaving the country, you must go through customs formalities with your exit card and passport.

Air ticket 1) It is strongly recommended to buy it 2-3 months in advance, and the price will be much cheaper.

2) Before buying, it is recommended to check which one is more suitable, the price of departure and return, and the price of round-trip packaging. The most economical thing is that you need to change planes and it will take a lot of time. If you want to save money, you have to take the time to change it. In addition, it is suggested that people with poor English choose to transfer at home, at least in Chinese. If they miss a plane somewhere because they can't find a place, it's not worth the candle.

3) The air ticket price fluctuates three times a day, which is generally the cheapest in the morning and the most expensive at night. You can pay attention to it when you buy tickets.

The hotel recommends staying in Patong, Phuket, which is close to all scenic spots and the most prosperous place in Phuket. You can visit seaside night markets and bars in the evening. In addition, all tourist attractions can be picked up and dropped off by free car, which not only saves a lot of transportation expenses, but also saves a lot of time and energy.

The following is the hotel I stayed in this time. Both hotels are very good and have their own characteristics. Before I decided to look at the bad reviews in the hotel evaluation, I was also wary of the local hotels, but they were really good, especially suitable for holidays.

Sunshine Beach Resort Phuket (five-star push)

The sea view room is less than 500 RMB/night, which is economical.

About 300-400 meters from the beach. There are many small swimming pools in the hotel. Looking at the mountains and the sea is really beautiful. Because the hotel is built on the mountain, the location of the swimming pool feels that you can reach the sky and look back to the beach far away. It's good to be alive!

The top floor of the hotel is a restaurant, which also includes two swimming pools. There are many recliners for sunbathing. Looking out of the restaurant, you can see the sea. Although the sun is big, it can't resist the temptation of the scenery, so we have to be wronged. The restaurant in the hotel is delicious, and the buffet breakfast is also delicious, but you will still be tired after eating for many days. No matter where you go, foreign food can't compare with China food.

THEBLOC Puji Brock Hotel

Sea View Room 400-450 yuan/Night

Close to Badong Beach, downstairs is the sea. Although the hotel is not gorgeous, it is made of marble everywhere. Located in the center of Badong, the hotel is much smaller than the last one. In addition, because it is close to the seaside and streets, it will be noisy at night, and people at the seaside have rich nightlife, which will be noisy. The good thing is, it's really great to go downstairs and see the sea. There is a surf bar next to the hotel, which is super cool and always attracts a lot of onlookers, and the price is not particularly expensive.

Although there is no balcony, the bay window is great, the room decoration is very tall, and it is super feeling to take pictures by the window at night.

Due to the tight schedule, I didn't have a chance to see more other places in the hotel, which has a swimming pool, gym and restaurant. Friends who have the opportunity to go can go and have a look.

Regarding the tax refund, I bought 2000 baht of the same product at Jiangxi Leng, bigC Supermarket and kingpower Duty Free Shop that day. If the total consumption of that day reaches 5000 baht, I can go to the counter to apply for a tax refund form VATrefund.

form

For example, in June, 65438+ 10 1, boots in Jiangxi Province spent 2 100 baht, and bigC in Jiangxi Province spent 3000 baht. On that day, each store spent more than 2,000 baht, adding up to 5,000 baht, so you can get 6-7% tax by issuing a tax refund form at the service desk and handling the tax refund at the airport.

☆ Tax refund process ☆

Check-in-check-in-check-in-queue up at the tax refund window in the waiting hall with your passport and bill.

ps:

1) passport with tax refund form+tax refund form+signature of the shopping receipt of the day.

2) The tax refund window says VAT, and all the people who go shopping in Thailand are from China. If you have any questions, you can ask them in the queue.

3) Tax refund can be made in RMB or Thai baht. I haven't checked which is more suitable. I directly refunded RMB at that time.

4) Except for food, 4) All goods in 4)kingpower are tax-free, and you can't apply for tax refund except food. Brand goods need to be picked up at the pick-up point in the airport terminal.

About changing money, you must change it at home and take it with you. Everyone who travels for 6- 10 days has at least 8000- 10000 baht in hand. You can change it back if you can't spend it all. Never change it in Thailand again. The handling fee is really high.

domestic remittance

1 RMB ~ 5. 1 Thai baht (0 handling fee)

Thai exchange

Purple atm is more economical.

Bank of Thailand's withdrawal fee is 100thb, and credit card bank's withdrawal fee is 1%+ 12rmb, with the lowest 14rmb and the highest 1 12rmb. Practice has proved that I don't quite understand how to calculate this, and the fees charged are much higher.

My experience is that

In Thailand, I used the ICBC savings card to withdraw 5000 baht, and the handling fee was more than 60 RMB. The exchange rate is about 1 RMB ~ 4.7 baht, which is really a loss, and sometimes the exchange rate is lower.

Pay special attention to

1) Changing money at the airport is really a very wrong choice. Never do it. The exchange rate is low and the handling fee is high. Don't change money at domestic and foreign airports.

2) It is recommended to use less visa cards in Thailand. Visa first converts RMB into US dollars and then into Thai baht for payment, which will cost more money twice.

3) Alipay can be used at 7 1 1; Famliymart can only use cash and visa. Most catering industries in Jiangxi can use Alipay and WeChat to pay. Kingpower can use Alipay with discounts; Neither McDonald's nor KFC can use UnionPay or Alipay, except visa and cash. BigC supermarket can brush unionpay

Pay the bill.

4) Coins and broken banknotes cannot be converted into RMB in China, so try to spend them in Thailand.

5) Remember to draw the card when withdrawing cash in Thailand.

Tip 1) The hotel should tip at least 20thb every day.

2) The driver needs to give a certain tip of 20- 100thb.

3) Massage requires a tip of 20- 100thb.

4) The boatman is the same as the crew.

5) auspicious symbols

6) shemale photo 100thb/ person

Ps: The service attitude and quality of local people are very good. Every time you tip, you are really willing. There is no limit to tipping. The minimum denomination of Thai baht is 20. It is recommended not to give coins (coins are for beggars). It doesn't matter if you don't have change for the time being and can't tip. This is unnecessary. No one blames you for this, and the service will not get worse. You can rest assured.

Bargaining You can bargain when you go to Thailand to buy a roadside stall or shop. The first bid must be very high. Cut as many rounds as possible. If your English is not good, you can dial with your mobile phone and tell him your expected price. Body language is completely enough.

My actual combat,

At first, the price of a pair of shorts was 400thb, and finally it was sold to 260thb. These are the following two Thai flower shorts, hehe.

Baggage related Thai Airways 30kg per person.

20kg for domestic airlines.

(Two passports can be used together)

Individual airlines have requirements on the number of pieces, so remember to pay attention when buying air tickets. Exceeding the standard will be very expensive.

Thailand luggage packing 400thb/ piece (cash only, remember to reserve cash if you need to pack)

If too much liquid transits in China, it may catch up with the customs for unpacking inspection. If you are unlucky, you must listen to the arrangement of the police uncle. Good children are generally fine.

Pay attention to local culture 1) Don't make wishes casually.

Thailand is a Buddhist country, and it is necessary to realize a wish. It is said that it is quite magical.

2) Never gamble.

Never bring cards or mahjong to play.

3) Don't touch other people's heads

In particular, some people can't help touching their heads when they meet children, so they need to pay attention. Head is a sacred position in Thai culture, and only kings, extremely distinguished or important people can touch it. In addition, try not to pass things overhead.

4) You need to dress neatly when entering the temple, and don't show your legs and back. You need to take off your shoes when entering.

Ps: Many street shops in Thailand also require to take off their shoes and enter. Pay attention to whether there are NOSHOES at the door before entering the store, usually written on the carpet at the door.

5) When playing the national anthem of Thailand in the theater, you should take the initiative to put down your activities and stand up.

6) Don't tip coins, coins are for beggars.

10. Transportation

There are taxi meters, tuktukcar and private taxis in Phuket (anyone with the sign 1584 can take it, 1584 is a taxi complaint phone).

Taximeter is a taximeter taxi and the cheapest. It is usually difficult to get a taxi. It's hard to see that many people will fight with you when you reach out to stop it.

Tuketuke

The car is a local taxi, and the driver will show you the price list. From Badong to Phuket Town, 700thb, this can be bargained! Be sure to bargain. We directly cut to 500thb at that time. What if there is a price list? Don't be afraid, the price can still be cut!

Private taxi, there will be many people on the local roadside reaching out and asking if you need taxi service. Find the driver who seems to be quiet or alone. That's easier to bargain.

Ps: To go to some distant scenic spots, it is suggested to book tickets directly from the Internet, so there will be a free shuttle bus service. Taxis in Thailand are still very expensive, which can save a lot of money.

the recommendation

1.Simoncabaret, Buddy's cross-dressing show.

This is a local must-play. The most unique thing in Thailand is the shemale industry, which is suitable for all ages. This project is very international and incorporates cultural elements from all over the world. The performance is mainly song and dance, and the language is English. There are three shows a day, 18:00, 19:45, 2 1:30, one each. After the performance, the transvestites will wait at the exit, and the photo needs 100thb/ transvestite.

Ticket purchase method

1) purchase on the travel app.

When purchasing, read the contents carefully and check whether the shuttle bus service is in your hotel area. Please fill in the number of performances, number of people, seat type and hotel address when purchasing. After purchase, you will notify the pickup time by SMS before the performance day, and usually wait in the hotel lobby.

2) Buy locally

There will be many suspected newsstand stalls in the local area. Generally, Simon's ticketing service can be consulted and purchased. Apart from duty-free shops and airports, there are not many locals who can speak Chinese. Generally speaking, English service is the main service. )

Ps: It is very discouraged to buy tickets on the spot, which is expensive and troublesome. Besides, drivers usually arrive at the appointed time. He will ask with a list and find his name (pinyin). After getting on the bus, the driver will give the number plate to the person in the car and return to the driver according to the number plate and license plate number. The place is not big, it is easy to find.

ride an elephant

You can book a one-day elephant ride on the sofa paradise from the Internet, which is a one-day tour in Chinese. In fact, the tour guide can't speak Chinese at all, and even English is not good. There is no explanation during the activity, and drivers and tour guides will take it to experience various projects.

The park in the sofa includes elephant riding, ox riding, elephant performance and monkey performance.

When the elephant performs, there will be interactive projects such as feeding, elephant feet and elephant massage. Feeding is to feed it with small bananas, a handful of bananas100 THB; The elephant's foot is the elephant playing football, and you keep the goal (it's really stable and cute); Elephant massage, after you come down, the elephant will gently hammer your back with its nose and feet, at least it won't hurt (I was chosen to experience elephant massage, and when I came down, I watched the elephant come and scare away, and the second reason was that it stinks =

It's not good for girls to have elephants at home.

When riding an elephant, there will be photographers taking pictures. You can buy photos after the event, 500thb/2 (with commemorative photo frame), which is a little expensive, but after all, I bought it with my teeth when I was traveling. (The photo grazed the skin)

Ps: Because the photo frame is made of special wood in the garden, it will have a strong elephant smell, and the weather smell will almost dissipate after five days in the sun.

3. Massage (Massage)

Thai massage is one of the ancient medical cultures in Thailand with a history of 4000 years. In ancient Thailand, the royal family used it to keep healthy and restore physical strength. Thai massage has become a very popular natural therapy at home and abroad this year. You must experience it once when you go to Thailand.

There are many massage shops on the roadside of Phuket, and there will be many women soliciting customers at the door. Although the price is cheap, it always feels unsafe (girls are not recommended to go, boys can go and see it, and there may be sister welfare).

& gt recommended this for us:

Phuket Oriental Spa

I checked a lot of spas, and this one is definitely the most formal and cost-effective store in Badong. The massage is good and the sleep is comfortable. The price is between 200 and 400 RMB, and the time is between 90min- 180min.

You need to make an appointment in advance. If the reservation is successful, I will inform you by SMS. Badong area includes car pick-up and car delivery. Just say your name in the shop. The girl at the front desk is super beautiful and super gentle.

& gt program

Change clothes-take a bath-sauna-wash-change clothes-lie down.

You can leave a tip after the massage (the service quality is nothing to say, and you are really willing to tip)

Ps: If you choose the essential oil massage project, the front desk girl will have several essential oils to choose from; Before the massage, a form will be filled in, which will select the degree of massage (mild to moderate, severe), the parts that do not need massage, and the parts that need special massage.

4. Snorkeling and deep diving

There are snorkeling projects in Big Pipi Island, Little Pipi Island, Egg Island, Emperor Island and Coral Island.

Going to the island by boat seems to be booked online, and there are Chinese or English services, including picking up the plane.

Snorkeling requires your own swimsuit/diving suit. Only diving goggles and life jackets are provided locally. It doesn't matter if you can't swim. The captain will sail to shallow water and let you go to sea. There will be five coaches on each boat, so don't worry at all.

Deep diving will provide clothes.

PhiPhiDon Island has various restaurants, resorts and bars, but the beach is quite narrow.

KohPhiPhiLe is very suitable for swimming, sunbathing and snorkeling. Sand is as delicate and soft as flour, which is particularly comfortable.

Egg Island (Kai

Island is a place with shallow water and plenty of fish, which is very suitable for snorkeling. There is a lot of coral debris on the beach, and there are bars and snacks on the beach. You can't be happy after a leisurely afternoon.

RACHA is considered to be the clearest sea in several islands, with distinct layers from deep to light blue, and the scenery is very beautiful.

CoralIsland is very suitable for water recreation (diving, surfing, banana boat, motorboat, water parachute).

5. Water parachute

Pipi Island, Coral Island and Batong Beach.

Pipi Island and Coral Island need to make an appointment in advance, and Badong Beach does not need to make an appointment.

The price is generally 1300- 1500thb/ person, and it needs 200thb/ person protection (be sure to bargain as much as possible, especially for girls! It's definitely cheaper to sell cute things. ) My partner and I are going to protect two people this time. 3000thb, in Badong Beach (cost-effective).

The feeling of overlooking the sea from the sky is really wonderful. I suggest going to the seaside after four or five in the afternoon. At that time, the sun was not big, the sea water just began to rise, and the sea breeze was very comfortable.

The moon and the earth have the same gravity. When the distance between the moon and the earth is getting closer and closer, the gravity is getting bigger and bigger. The gravity of the moon will have a certain impact on the sea water of the earth, and the sea water will have a feeling of being pulled, which is the climax. The sea didn't fly away because the gravity of the earth is much greater than that of the moon.

6. weekend market (PhuketWeekendMarket)

Thailand's typical specialty market, located in Phuket Town, is only open on Saturdays and Sundays. 16:00-23:00. It is in the form of outdoor scaffolding, similar to the domestic flea market, with some daily necessities and some snacks, mainly for local people. The price is very cheap, and the English level is average, but there are always English brands, and there are basically no obstacles.

Snacks list

Winter Yin Palace spicy shrimp soup, Thai fried rice noodles, pineapple fried rice, mango glutinous rice, chocolate banana cake, Thai fish cake, steamed dumplings (this is different from jiaozi in China), pork skewers, salted grilled fish, coconut pancakes, seafood roast, ruby (dessert), iced tea, iris fruit tea, braised duck rice, boat powder, red curry, green curry, fried fish.

7. Siam Dream Theatre Historical Drama (Miphuket, Siam)

Phuket is known as a unique city that never sleeps in Thailand's national culture, customs and entertainment. Thai culture originated in Siam. The performance introduced Thailand's unique cultural background and development process from the aspects of Ranatai culture, big city civilization, Khmer culture, Buddhist culture and social life. There are many cultural experience places in the park (elephant show, Thai shadow play, elephant show, Muay Thai, Taishi pastoral).

There is a performance every day. Guests enter the park 17:30- 18: 30 dinner-19: 30 elephant performance, bamboo dance, music fountain -20: 30 performance -20: 50 performance.

The buffet in the park is very rich, and the restaurant is very large, which can accommodate thousands of people, and drinks need to be paid extra.

You can't use your cell phone or take photos during the whole performance. Security before admission is very strict. Cameras are not allowed to enter. You can leave your bags at the entrance.

Shopping ① It's really cheap to buy L 'Oré al, Levi's and Lee in Thailand, which is about 7-8 fold at home (it is recommended to buy them directly at kingpower, tax-free).

② Several skin care products that are very popular in Thailand: beautybuffet milk series, boots cucumber series, RAY mask, snail snail snail cream.
