What should I bring to Thailand?
Prepare a visa before departure
Thailand can go to landing visa, but I prefer to get a visa in China. There are many agencies on the Internet. All you need is the original passport and a 2-inch photo, which will be received within 7 working days. The visa is valid for 90 days from the date of issuance and can stay in Thailand for 60 days.
Entry and exit
Passport, customs declaration form and entry-exit card (the original and the duplicate will be collected when entering the country, and the duplicate will be collected when leaving the country). The customs declaration form and entry-exit card must be filled in English, with names in capital letters. No matter which aisle you take, you need to hand in the back-filled customs declaration form, and sometimes you will ask passengers to pass the X-ray detector or open their luggage for inspection.
money
RMB: Thai baht ≈.
1: 5 or so, Thailand has issued a new regulation this year. Everyone who enters Thailand must carry at least 2W (equivalent to 4000 RMB) of Thai baht, which can be exchanged at China Bank in China and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. It seems that China Bank is more cost-effective than Thailand, so it needs to make an appointment one day in advance. You can also use UnionPay card to withdraw money directly from the local ATM. There is a Chinese prompt, and the exchange rate is not bad, about 1:5.3, but you need to charge 50 baht for each withdrawal. Remember to recognize the UnionPay logo, and try not to withdraw money from the ATM at the airport. The handling fee will be more expensive.
Phone card/phone card
Buy a happy card in advance on a treasure, unlimited traffic for 7 days, and make phone calls online. I went to 10 this time, bought two cards, and changed one on the seventh day. You can buy top-ups at local 7- 1 1 convenience stores, telecom business halls and even airports.
attaching plug
The basic difference is not big. Thailand also has a voltage of 220v, so household appliances can be used without additional transformers. But the plug is slightly different. The jack on the wall in Thailand has only two phases, not three. But if it's a three-way plug like a computer, it can't be plugged directly into the wall. You have to bring a converter or a small patch panel. (See "Tai _" for details. Oh, haha)
Shooting equipment
Canon 5Dmark3, iphone6plus
air ticket
Round-trip air tickets from Nanjing to Chiang Mai and Bangkok to Nanjing are all booked on Ctrip. They are not very cheap, but they are more convenient. Chiang Mai-Bangkok was booked at AirAsia official website. If there is more luggage, it is recommended to buy it in advance.
language
Thai and English are mainly popular in Thailand. Because there are more tourists from China coming to Thailand, some places have Chinese service. Basically, as long as you can speak simple English, there is no problem! If it really doesn't work, you can download an app: Travel Translator, which is quite useful.
Due to the influence of tropical monsoon, the weather in Thailand can be clearly divided into three seasons:
The highest temperature is from March to May, with an average of 32℃ ~ 38℃, which is called "hot season" and the air is dry.
June-65438+1late October, which is the "rainy season". 85% of the annual rainfall is concentrated in the rainy season, and the average monthly temperature is around 27 and 8℃. But the rainy season in Thailand has its unique side, that is, the rain will be concentrated in a certain period of time. It will be cool today after the rain.
1 1 By February of the following year, after the rainy season, Thailand ushered in the best season of the year-"cool season", with an average temperature of 19℃ ~ 26℃. Although it is called "cool season", the temperature is not low.
Therefore, the best tourist season in Thailand is not much different. All the year round can be said to be the tourist season, because at different times, Thailand gives us different feelings.
Local transportation 1. Toot-Toot Car (Toot-Toot Car)
TukTuk in Thailand is very common, a bit like a three-wheeled motorcycle. Every driver will decorate the car very interestingly. The price will be relatively expensive and can be negotiated according to the distance.
2. Taxi
Ask the driver "Shit" before getting on the bus.
Meter "(Do you hit the meter? ), if the driver agrees to hit the meter and sees that the driver did not press the meter after getting on the bus, he should decisively choose to get off. It is convenient to take a taxi if there is no traffic jam. But the traffic in Bangkok is really too heavy, too heavy, too heavy!
3. Two cars
Two cars are common means of transportation in Chiang Mai. The red car had no fixed route, so it stopped at once. The starting fee is 20 baht/person, and the fare is increased according to the distance. Sometimes drivers will wait until the passengers are full and can take 10 passengers. Yellow, blue and green cars all have relatively fixed routes. Generally, 40 Thai plants are enough in the ancient city, and 80- 100 baht is generally available in places not too far around. Generally, 20 baht per person in urban areas. For your reference.
Rent a motorcycle
We only rented motorcycles in Baixian. Most of the scenic spots in Baixian County are located in the suburbs, with a certain distance from the city center, and the more famous hotels are also outside the city, so renting motorcycles as a means of transportation is the best choice. In Aya
Services can be rented. This is a relatively large-scale motorcycle rental point. The motorcycle we rented was 140 baht/day. You need to bring a passport. If you don't want to get a passport, you can get a copy of your passport and add 2000 baht.
5. BTS
Rail transit in Bangkok is divided into two types: light rail (BTS) and subway (MRT). Light rail is the most popular and comfortable means of transportation in Bangkok. There are always two lines: the dark green one is Silom.

The light green line is SukhumvitLine, from SaphanTaksin to National.
Stadium, you can transfer at Siam.
Opening hours: 6:00-24:00.
Cost: 15-40 baht (divided into different zones according to distance, the zone between two stations is 1, and the fare is 15 baht. At present, the farthest zone is Zone 6, and the fare is 40 baht).
APP recommendation 1. GoogleMaps (accurate positioning, triangular arrows, even a road idiot like me is very easy to use, very easy to use! )
2. It's convenient to travel freely (all kinds of powerful consultation, many delicious and fun travel notes, and scenic spots inquiry! )
3. Travel translator (although my English level and normal communication are fine, I am justsoso, so I can download it in a safe place, remember to learn Thai and English well in advance)

Air tickets booked in advance, hotel travel itinerary, and printed list of items booked on a treasure.
2. Financial category

3. necessities of life
Sunscreen, after-sun repair, mosquito repellent, all kinds of cosmetics (I won't list them one by one, girls, you know! ), shower gel shampoo conditioner (girls must remember to bring conditioner, which is not provided in many hotels and can also be bought locally), comb, sunglasses, U-shaped pillow, pen, notebook and straw hat.
4. Clothing category
In addition to the beautiful floral skirt, you must remember to bring a thick coat when you go to12-February. There is a big temperature difference between Chiang Mai and Baixian in the morning and evening to avoid catching a cold.
