In the early morning of the 10th, the plane landed at Langman International Airport, slowing down the time by one hour and officially entering the Thai mode.

At first glance, tourists entering the airport can be divided into two categories: Chinese tourists carrying luggage case to call friends and follow the tour guide’s buttocks, and European and American tourists carrying heavy backpacks in small groups.

Just like when I crossed the customs in Vietnam, I saw Chinese tourists spontaneously squeezing money into their passports in order to please Thai staff to pass the customs smoothly. Angry. To be honest, I am not angry with Thais, but with some Chinese! Fellow countrymen, why are your bones so soft!

The exit from Langman Airport is Langman Railway Station, from which you have to take a train to Dacheng. At first glance, I was taken aback at the sight of this railway station. Cultural shock came on my face.

Where does this look like a railway station? There are only canopies on both sides of the railway tracks, which are not closed. They can enter and leave at will. There are no ticket inspectors, and there is no magnificent waiting hall. When the train arrives, just buy your own tickets. How can the railway station be so simple? This is the airport and railway station where tourists from all over the world come and go. According to some people’s plausible words, this is the “image” of a country. It took a long time for people to react: If the waiting hall is not built, taxpayers’ hard-earned money will naturally be saved and spent in useful places. People’s freedom to travel will be guaranteed. You may worry that some people will not get on the bus without tickets. However, the probability of such a thing happening is extremely low. There is only one reason: a Buddhist nation does not grow grass in its heart and cannot learn to cheat.

The color of Thailand’s railway station is purple, and the train is also purple, which is very distinctive. Why do you want to paint it purple? I have always wanted to know, but I didn’t get the answer because of the language barrier.

从曼谷到大城距离不下100公里，票价只有20泰铢，合人民币4元，便宜得让人不敢相信！

On the simple train, I met a kind old Thai man, who earnestly taught me the Thai greeting in how. Thailand’s trains are not closed and the wind is blowing straight inside. On the steps of getting off the bus at the junction of the two carriages, I found a Chinese sister sitting there, which startled me: the train was speeding, and this sister was extremely bold! She was wearing sunglasses, and the wind had messed up her hair, showing a bold and unrestrained wild beauty.

Many people describe the big city beautifully in their travel notes, but it has given me many disappointments and melancholy.

First of all, I came mainly to the floating market here, and three British girls followed me to look for it. However, on a hot day, I looked around and even asked the local people. As a result, there was no such place!

In desperation, go to the ruins of the pagoda in Dacheng, which is a long way from the railway station. First, take a ferry to cross a river in the city. The river is turbid and piles of water hyacinths are floating on the river.

It took a long time to get to the ruins park. The park is not closed, but tickets are charged at 300 baht.

Like the holy land of Meishan in central Vietnam, the heyday of religious incense in the past was destroyed by war and politics. Broken walls shows that “wind and rain always blow away the wind”. I did see an old tree accompanying it beside a dilapidated pagoda. The pagoda is already dim, but the old trees are flourishing. Seeing this, my heart moved and I stared at the scene for a long time, seemingly realizing something.

这世上有些自诩高贵的东西，随着时光的流逝而渐渐湮没，而某些貌似普通的东西却经历风雨青春不老。

These days, I have been understanding Thailand and paying close attention to Thailand. For this reason, I did some consulting and reading.

First thing: Know the national anthem and flag of this country.

Thailand’s national flag is red, white and blue. They represent the nation, Buddhism and the royal family respectively.

I found Thailand’s national anthem on the Internet and listened to this solemn national anthem. The lyrics are as follows:

The people of Thailand are all linked by flesh and blood. The inch of land in Thailand is protected by the whole people. It has always been the same. They are of the same mind. They are lazy and peaceful. They are loved by the Chinese. If there is war, we will be fearless. Independence and sovereignty, to defend to the death, to fight for our country, to shed all blood, to do whatever it takes, to dedicate pride and victory to our motherland,

The second thing: I found several videos of former Thai female Prime Minister Yingluck, saw the videos of her inauguration, her visit to Beijing for talks with Premier Wen Jiabao, her English speech at the banquet welcoming US President Obama, and even saw the videos of her dancing lightly.

Http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNjc3MDg3MTI0.html? From=y1.2-1-91.4. 5-1.1-1-2-4-0

Solemn, elegant and charming, there are so few such goddess figures, one is Teresa Teng and the other is Prime Minister Yingluck.

The third thing: start learning a little Thai.

Fourth, I borrowed a “Explorer Travel Series” from the library and read it. The authors are Tim Locke and Martin Cratback, two senior travelers. Publishing House: Zhonghua Book Company.

The fifth thing is to start logging on English websites related to Thailand’s tourism. First, check Wikipedia’s detailed introduction of Thailand. Then I logged into Thailand’s blog network http://www.thai-blogs.com to learn more about the water market. There is also the Jiami Island Resort Network: http://www.krabi-holiday.com/

The sixth thing is to understand the living conditions of sex sellers and transsexuals in Pattaya, Thailand.

Video link: http://www.56.com/w45/play_album-aid-14395428_vid-MTQwODA0NDYw.html

维基百科文字：Prostitution in Thailandand sex tourism also form ade factopart of the economy. Cultural milieu combined with poverty and the lure of money have caused prostitution and sex tourism in particular to flourish in Thailand. One estimate published in 2003 placed the trade at US$4.3 billion per year or about 3% of the Thai economy.^[116]According to research byChulalongkorn Universityon the Thai illegal economy, prostitution in Thailand in the period between 1993 and 1995, made up around 2.7% of the GDP.^[117]It is believed that at least 10% of tourist dollars are spent on the sex trade.^[118]

Thailand’s spring sales industry also forms a part of the economic income. The cultural background mixed with the temptation of poverty and money led to the prosperity of this industry. A 2013 survey report estimated annual income at 4.3 billion US dollars, accounting for 3% of economic income. Chulalongkorn University released a survey report. From 1993 to 1995, the income from selling spring accounted for 2.7% of GDP. It is believed that about 10% of the expenses of foreign tourists are spent on seeking flowers and willows in Thailand.

Still a little don’t understand: Why is there so much selling spring in such a Buddha country? On the Pattaya Oriental Princess cruise ship, why are transsexuals so casually accepting the intimacy of some vulgar Chinese tourists? There are also online posts telling tourists to Thailand that thieves and swindlers are always found in public places in Bangkok, Thailand, especially on public transport.

There is also a famous Tiger Temple: At the time of writing this article, the Tiger Temple had just been exposed to kill tigers and buy tiger bones and skins. Let’s look at the comments on Weibo on the Internet:

1

Baby Lu Feifei: These people will freeze the tiger cubs. I think there is an explanation-they can no longer afford these tigers but they are not willing to tell the public the real situation. I believe they must have had a good original intention when saving the first tiger cub, but things went bad when they developed, because human greed and shameless can easily surpass everything!

Jimiyangguang2: It turns out that you made dirty money in the name of Buddha, which is disgusting. Are you not afraid of Buddha’s punishment?

Kookie, Fat Egg: The first time I went to Thailand, I met a swindler. I saw that we came from other places to have a meal and took advantage of it. I vowed never to go to Thailand again. I have no good impression on what, Thailand!

4 走在套路的世界：他们信佛只是想洗净自己的罪恶，我奶奶说佛只是心里的一种信念，引导你心境宽容美好。有些人天天吃斋念佛还不如干点好事儿

A shark-: I have seen more of this introduction on TV before. Monks really get along very well with tigers. I felt kind at that time. But in the end, why does it always begin with good and end with evil?

Li Er is very fat: when I was in Thailand, I talked to a restaurant owner who was Dutch. I was particularly impressed by a remark he made. This country can be extremely tolerant or completely opposite. Ah

7 Zhe Zhemei Drags Sleepy: Thailand really doesn’t know what’s going on. The whole people believe in Buddhism, but look at Pattaya, transvestites, etc.

8 lapland explains seclusion: Thailand is really a wonderful country. All the people believe in Buddhism, but… don’t say everyone knows!

9 PollySail: So it doesn’t matter whether you have faith or not. It’s human nature that drives good and evil!

The Devil King Bo Xun said to Buddha: At the end of the Dharma robbery, my son and grandson became monks, wearing your cassock, destroying your Dharma, and practicing the Dharma in the name of monks.

11 karrysomething：说好的善良国度呢

12 傻瓜lalal：伪善比真坏还要可怕

GUANMANO: I used to like this country very much and think goodness is very important. Now I really think of heaven and hell.

14 稀土部队b：去泰国旅游，导游嘉文说泰国人信佛，不会做坏事，做坏事的都是别的国家来的。我想爆粗，纯属放屁。

Buddha, does it play the role of how in the life and mind of the Thai people? An incidental question arises: Do you want to take a walk in Pattaya, a place called amorous feelings and romance but actually full of lights?

The seventh thing: Learn about Thailand’s airlines, landed on the official website of Thai Lion Airlines, and learned about the flights from Bangkok to various parts of Thailand.

The eighth thing: Browse the microblog of Bangkok University and the microblog of “Thailand Zero Distance” on Sina Weibo to learn about life in Thailand.

Understand, produce yearning; Not knowing, causing accidents or surprises.

It was just 2: 30 p.m. When the hotel was fully settled, much earlier than expected. I took a quick shower and went out. According to the prior plan, our arrangements in Bangkok are mainly the Grand Palace, the Jade Buddha Temple, the Sleeping Buddha Temple and the Zheng Wang Temple. In the evening, we will take a cruise to the Chao Phraya River and take a day to the big city more than 80 kilometers away from Bangkok. Time is limited in the afternoon, so we must hurry to the Zheng Wang Temple on the other side of the Chao Phraya River and then go to the legendary Kaoshan Road in the evening.

Taking the map provided by the hotel and asking about the southeast and northwest directions, we couldn’t wait to walk towards Zheng Wang Temple. According to the Thai travel brochure published in China, the opening time of Zheng Wang Temple is from 9: 00 a.m. to 4: 00 p.m., If we can’t make it to the opening time, we may not be able to go to Zheng Wang Temple, because although we have three days in Bangkok, one of them will go to the site of the World Cultural Heritage City. If Bangkok’s Grand Palace scenic spot needs to be visited seriously, it will take at least half a day, and we also want to go to Thailand’s National Museum, so the time is not rich at all.

After turning right from the hotel gate and walking about 100 meters, you can see the canal. The canals in Bangkok criss-cross, adding color to Bangkok. Crossing the small bridge on the canal, the scenery on both sides of the canal is already very Thai.

沿着运河边的墙根拐进一条小道，穿出小道，大皇宫赫然在目，这么近，真没想到。我们真的很幸运，据说在封锁曼谷行动刚开始的一周，这里都被黄衫军占领了，后来反对党怕封锁道路影响旅游业激起民愤就从这里撤了，转战到了别的地方。这是曼谷地区的国柱神庙，类似中国的城隍庙。

这是泰国国防部大楼，周围布满了铁丝网，估计也是为了对付黄衫军临时拉的。围墙里面就是大名鼎鼎的大皇宫，但她不是我们今天要去的地方。

大皇宫外的这个街心雕塑太泰国了，幸好曼谷没什么雾霾，如果是在北京，早就面目全非了。站在这个路口，我们正在对照地图辨别方向的时候，一个本地人主动与我们搭讪，问我们要去哪里。我告诉他要去码头乘船到郑王庙。他接过我手中的地图，用笔在郑王庙的图标处画了一个圈。我告诉他，我知道那是郑王庙，但是我不知道去郑王庙的渡口在哪里，天气太热，不想走冤枉路。他非常熟练的在地图上一连画了5个圈，然后用一条线连成一个圆环后告诉我，他可以叫一辆tu-tu车送我到码头，在码头上可以买到游览这几个景点的通票。他很诚恳地说，你是外国人，要买这样的通票需要2000泰铢，让开tu-tu车的当地人帮忙买票，只需要1200泰铢。因为我们的地图只是个简图，也看不出来大皇宫附近湄南河上到底有几个码头，也就上了他帮忙招呼的tu-tu车。等到了码头一看才弄明白，这个码头有到对岸的轮渡，但不到郑王庙，是到离郑王庙虽然不远但隔着一条运河，还要绕道很远的一个寺庙。刚才那个”热心人”推荐的这5个景点包括郑王庙和其他三个寺庙，是用曼谷湄南河对岸的运河作为纽带，沿着运河顺序游览。我们只想踏踏实实、深入了解郑王庙，不想瞎逛，当然也是觉得那个票价太贵了。不得已，我们只好买了轮渡票，每人5个泰铢到对岸，然后步行到郑王庙。远处看好像不远，可真走起来还是挺远的，因为运河上的桥不多，要过桥必须走很远。

等船的时候远拍郑王庙，因为逆光，效果不好。

对岸码头边的一个寺庙。

After getting off the boat, I passed through the narrow alley. Suddenly, my eyes brightened. A tower appeared in the middle of the street. The buildings around the intersection were very beautiful. There are several taxis at this intersection. After asking several, they are not willing to play their watches. They cost 300 Thai baht to go to Zheng Wang Temple. Looking at the map in his hand, he really didn’t want to spend 300 Thai baht and crustily skin of head to ask the man in uniform next to him. He asked me the taxi driver’s asking price before telling me the way. From the “enthusiastic” guide just now to the taxi driver and security guard in front of me, why do Thais feel so unkind? After knowing that we were Chinese, the security guard was very friendly and wished us a happy Spring Festival. Then he agreed that we would pass through the temple that was being repaired and was not open to the outside world, so that we could get closer. I really should thank him very much. By the way, we took some photos of the temple outside.

There are also such beautiful buildings in this alley.

The road pointed by the security guard is very close, and the canal bridge is at the end of the alley. This canal is also one of Bangkok’s tourist attractions. Many tourists visit the canal by boat. We mainly don’t have enough time and want to swim the Chao Phraya River, so we don’t want to take two boats.

The houses on both sides of the streets of the small town are very low but clean.

这个大门里面好像是一个军事机构，进出的都是军人。

看看别人这胡同多干净，这可不是富人区。郑王庙的正门面向湄南河码头，就是我一直想找的那个地方，这个胡同里面的门其实是郑王庙的后门。

通往郑王庙的胡同里挂满了红灯笼，中国影响力可见一斑。

终于到了郑王庙，门票每人20泰铢。可能是因为春节，开门时间延长到5点。其实泰国人挺人性化的，5点以后照样可以进入。泰国这些收门票的地方比中国景点让人舒服，不是因为票价高低，而是工作人员的善意。几乎在泰国我去过的需要买门票的地方通常只是在售票处有一个人卖票，门口并没有人验票。我在门口观察了一会儿，除了几个中国人不想花钱没进去之外，都很自觉买票。这让我想起在澳大利亚的塔斯马尼亚阿瑟港游览监狱遗址时，也是没有人验票，但我还是主动去买了票，进去后，同行的同胞都特别不乐意，觉得我多此一举，白花了30多澳元。去年在英国的时候，游览约克大教堂是要付费的，18英镑，全团20多个人，只有我和同事自觉买了门票，其他人都从出口溜进去了。由于寺庙里面不允许卖东西，如果你想买水，可以和门口的工作人员打声招呼，然后就无限次出入。

郑王庙主塔被誉为泰国的”埃菲尔铁塔”。无论是远观还是近看，它真的很壮观，但好像与埃菲尔铁塔关系不大。这个塔的表面全部是用陶瓷片嵌成的。

这个塔的东南西北四面都有一个楼梯上到上面的平台，楼梯非常陡，一般需要手脚并用。

塔上平台专门挂了一个长条幅供大家留言，我和先生也留下了自己的签名。这可是我的支票签名哦！

Standing on the platform overlooking the Chao Phraya River.

湄南河对岸的卧佛寺。

The magnificent grand palace and the Jade Buddha Temple. This is an organization, not a temple, but the architectural style is very similar to a temple. A square outside Zheng Wang Temple has a strong religious color. Many believers will rest and learn Buddhism here after worshipping Zheng Wang Temple. This is the ferry terminal located on the side of the Grand Palace. There are restaurants and shops on the water surface, but the Chao Phraya River is especially dirty and there is a lot of garbage floating on the water surface.

Perhaps it was because of the sudden arrival from cold Beijing to hot Bangkok that there were two minor problems in the afternoon trip. The first problem is the heart. When I arrived at Zheng Wang Temple, I would climb the tower. As soon as I climbed the first platform, my heart beat very fast and I felt very uncomfortable. At that time, it was estimated that there might be two reasons. One might be hypoglycemia. After we arrived at the hotel from the airport, we came out without lunch in order to catch up with the time. Originally, we thought that we could definitely buy food in tourist attractions. In fact, this is not the case in Bangkok. Food cannot be bought in tourist attractions, which is very different from the excessive commerce in tourist attractions in China. I immediately went out to find food and walked a long way before I bought Coke on the side of the road. After drinking a bottle of Coke, I insisted on climbing to the tower. It would be a pity if I didn’t go up. The second reason may be that I am too tired and suffer from severe insomnia for a long time before I leave due to various reasons. Another problem is caused by shoes, because the shoes don’t fit and the toes are blistered. This is the first day. If the feet are broken, you can’t play at the back. Go to find Band-Aids immediately. Fortunately, when she asked the shoe seller where she could buy Band-Aids, she immediately took me to a small shop, gave me two Band-Aids and paid the fee at the same time. When I wanted to give her money, she resolutely refused. Thais are still really kind. Coming out of Zheng Wang Temple, I originally planned to go straight to the place where the yellow shirts demonstrated to see the excitement. In order to change my shoes, I had to go back to the hotel first. The excitement of the yellow shirts was not seen.

Thailand’s tour to see transvestites is the highlight of Thailand’s trip. “Transvestite” is famous in the world and is Thailand’s characteristic tourism.

One is that not seeing the transvestite performance is tantamount to not being in Thailand. Going to Thailand to see a transvestite show is a bit romantic and exciting.

The scale is appropriate.

Transvestite, male or female? They are an alternative beauty, a deformed beauty. These beautiful flowers

Butterflies are born to be women or to earn more money. After watching the transvestite performance, “she” Xu

Many people are indeed more women than women.

Thailand’s “transvestites” are the most concentrated and of the highest standard in Pattaya and Bati, the coastal cities of “Oriental Hawaii”

Yacheng is well built, with tropical features, coconut trees everywhere, light sea breeze and beautiful scenery.

For a “transvestite” performance, the ticket price is 400-500 Thai baht, equivalent to about 150-200 RMB. Big

Some of them were bought by the tour team.

Thai transvestites generally come from poor families and have few rich children. Thailand has a special training of transvestites.

School. From an early age, we began to cultivate women’s clothing, dress, women’s behavior and women’s hobbies. The important thing is to eat women.

Hormones. Inhibit the development of male organs and promote the excessive development of women. More than ten years of medication. Male physiology

Features atrophy, penis shortening, skin becoming fine and moist. In order to maintain a woman’s skin and posture, it is necessary to make her

All the functions of the system are disrupted, so injections, medicine and sex hormones are injected to produce feminine mentality and women’s special features.

Signs, breast bulge, skin tender,–. In this way, the body and mind are severely destroyed, and the life span of transvestites is average.

None of them are long, about 40 years old. Their youth is only about 25 years old.

This is not a transvestite, it is a flower messenger who receives the group!

The following is a video of the transvestite performance,

Charming Transvestite Show (Thai Style)-Beautiful Thai Transvestite! Thai transvestite that even women are jealous! !

In Chiang Mai, we visited not only temples but also Chiang Mai natural history. The museum is located on Inthawarorot Rd.

This is the entrance to the museum

There are two greenhouses in the museum park, and the one on the left is dedicated to several Buddha statues.

The entrance to the museum is a hall

Entering the hall is a two-story exhibition hall, which displays the historical materials of Chiang Mai, the ancient and modern life of Chiang Mai people, Chiang Mai Buddhist culture, agriculture and mountain ethnic materials, etc.

This white elephant is carrying a jade Buddha. I don’t know which period of history it is.

There are many sculptures in the window of the exhibition hall, which reproduce the life scene at that time.

There are also two city sculptures in Chiang Mai that are worth mentioning. One is the famous statue of the Three Kings, which is also the landmark sculpture of the ancient city of Chiang Mai.

The sculpture of the Three Kings stands in front of the Cultural and Art Center. It was built to commemorate the three kings who worked together to build the ancient city of Chiang Mai and made great contributions to Chiang Mai: Emperor Lankanheng, King Meng Lai and King Nan Meng. The three kings have a high position in the hearts of the people of northern Thailand. Under their sculptures, there is an altar filled with yellow flowers and tributes. People come here to worship every day.

There is also a famous police sculpture, which stands in the square in front of Chiang Mai Police Station. The sculpture shows the scene of the police rescuing the people.

Several night markets in Chiang Mai are also must-see places for tourists. We went to the “Valolo Night Market” outside Tape on the evening of the 9th. This night market mainly sells all kinds of snacks, There are all kinds of fried rice with fried powder, All kinds of cooked meat and cooked vegetables, All kinds of fried and roasted seafood, all kinds of freshly squeezed fruit juice, all kinds of fruits and vegetables, the air is filled with smoke and the taste of cooking dishes. A narrow street is full of these snack stalls, and the two passages in the middle are also crowded with people. Almost every stall has diners in front of it. They are either queuing up or sitting in front of a simple dining table. We also walked all the way and ate all the way. We walked down the two passages and our stomachs were already full.

The Chiang Mai Night Market outside Chiang Mai, which was visited on the evening of the 10th, was dominated by various handicrafts and clothing.

This is a beautiful lantern

All kinds of soap flowers

An artist carving soap flowers

The scale of Chiang Mai Gate Night Market is obviously several times larger than that of Walloluo Night Market. A stage was also set up in the open space of the market, on which actors performed Thai folk dances.

There are also many massage shops and fish therapy rooms in the night market, which is where tourists are enjoying fish therapy.

We strolled from 8 o’clock until 11 o’clock at night before returning to our residence.

Chiang Mai is an ancient city. The ancient city still retains some incomplete city walls, but it has been integrated with modern roads.

The gate of Chiang Mai’s ancient city is well preserved. This is the most famous Tapeimen, which is the east gate of the ancient city. From Tapeimen to the ancient city, it is Paxing Temple.

Chiang Mai is also a very artistic city. Her streets, shops and unnoticed corners are often decorated with surprising decorations.

Is this the salesroom of AirAsia? How did you get these two?

We only stayed in Chiang Mai for two nights and will take the 8 pm bus back to Bangkok on the 11th. We got up late in the morning and cooked the shrimps we bought from the market in an electric cup in the house.

I also made cabbage, mushroom and meatball soup and ate pancakes bought the first day.

I checked out at 11 o’clock, left my luggage in the hotel and continued to visit the temple. He didn’t return to the hotel until nearly 6 o’clock.

The bus back to Bangkok went to Acabas Station in the northeast of the ancient city. Ru asked several taxis and TUTU buses, but they didn’t want to go, so we took two buses. The two cars are modified from pickup trucks. There are two rows of benches in the rear compartment. Each row of benches can sit for four or five people and stop at will. The average fare is 20 baht, and the longer fare is 30 to 80 baht. This kind of car is the main means of transportation in Chiang Mai.

Not far from the hotel, we saw a car parked on the side of the road. Ru showed the driver our bus ticket and asked how much it was to go to Aka bus station. The driver gesticulated that each person was 20 baht and the four of us were 80 baht. After driving for half an hour, we arrived at the bus station, but it took us a while to park and stopped two or three times to find the right place. In order to thank the driver for his hard work and kindness, we gave him 100 baht.

It was more than an hour before the bus arrived to get off the bus and say hello, so I sat on the chair under the pillar to rest.

At nearly 8 o’clock, our car pulled into the station, which was much more spacious than the car when it arrived. The chair was very high and could be laid down 150 degrees.

Each car is equipped with 2 drivers and a waiter, who is responsible for packing and distributing food. Each of us handed out a towel coverlet sealed in a plastic bag and a food box with a bottle of water, a box of fruit juice, a snack, a bag of coffee, a partner and a wet paper towel.

At 8:05, the car started and was not full. Many people had two seats for one person. The car was driving very steadily, not as fast as it was when it came, all of which gave people a sense of security, so it didn’t take long for me to fall asleep.

We arrived at Bangkok Bus Terminal at 5 o’clock in the morning on January 12. It turns out that the bus terminal is near the weekend market. We took bus no. 77 to sima city in the center of the city at a fare of 17 baht. The car stopped beside the light rail to the airport.

There was a McDonald’s in the hotel across the road, so when the door was opened, the four of us dragged our luggage in and found a window seat. The temperature here is cool and there is no one to disturb. We went out for breakfast, shopping, lunch and shopping until 4 pm. Look, it’s almost time. Get up and go to the airport. First asked the taxi, the driver offered 500 baht, so he took the light rail, 40 baht per person, and drove all the way into the airport.

The plane took off at 6: 50 p.m. And landed at Baiyun Airport in Guangzhou at 10: 40 three hours later. This is the end of the 26-day free trip to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand.

Today, I had breakfast by the swimming pool and saw the beautiful scenery in the sky. I was free. When I looked at the breakfast buffet, there were only 60 harbors. Thailand’s collection, his, clear place, and I set the eternal Thailand!

Today is Sunday, and there is a weekend market in the old city at night. As I was tired of shopping during the day, I didn’t go out at night, waiting for my friends to go to the weekend market by themselves. When she came back to find many places to eat, many of them were closed. She accidentally found a hotpot restaurant, which is a little north of the west gate of the old city. It has a small facade and can eat at the gate. It is self-service, 99 +29 (drinks) = 128. It tastes good and some are spicy. I asked them for soy sauce and made it into non-spicy juice. There are beef, pork, chicken, pickled, cuttlefish, fish balls, pork balls, beef balls, ham sausage, raw sausage, blood clots, vermicelli, mustard, Chinese cabbage, spinach noodles. The beverage is a big bottle of cola, a big bottle of mineral water and a bucket of ice. Interestingly, hot pot can be roasted above and rinsed below. This is the best of both worlds and a big meal. This is really cool. I took a picture of this store, but unfortunately I can’t put it here. Strongly recommended!

It was said that I arrived in Bangkok at 7: 00 a.m., but I had already had an experience and knew that I had to postpone it to at least 9: 00 a.m., but watching everyone else get up actively to tidy up my bags, I had to follow. While the conductor was helping me make my bed, a blonde girl on the other side suddenly said to me in Chinese that you could sit next to me while he was making. So I met HELEN, a New Yorker who has studied Chinese for 3 years. He has a very elegant Chinese name named Yahan, who is the same age as me. HELEN also traveled alone like me, but she was much better than me. After leaving Chiang Mai, she would go to Hua Xin and Su Mei, and then take her parents to visit China in February. When it comes to travel, my chatterboxes opened and we exchanged a lot of travel information. We didn’t say goodbye until the train stopped at Bangkok Station 2 hours late. One can always encounter such encounters on one’s travel. And compare heart to heart, Every time I take it for granted, The girls who travel alone are all good girls. XD, considering that there is no place to take a bath to take the plane back to Shanghai at 3 a.m. tomorrow, So I spent 20B washing at the railway station. This was definitely a very thrilling experience. I wouldn’t say it without hot water. The bathroom was full of small flying insects and climbed a wall all over the floor. After washing, my scalp was numb.

Breakfast was settled at the porridge shop at the gate. Although the rice in Thailand is very good, the ingredients used to cook porridge in it are too bad. I miss Guangdong porridge crazily while eating… (saliva)

I made a mistake here, First, I took a large luggage case and a sleeping bag (this was originally intended for use in the air-conditioned sleeper because it was said to be very cold, and as a result…) to the newly opened TERMINAL 21 (also the junction of MRT and BTS, which is very convenient). As a result, I found that there was no luggage storage at all, so after a casual stroll, I returned to the lively SIAM without creativity. In the future, everyone with luggage should check their luggage. Don’t be foolish and store it at the airport (100B) or the railway station (70B). Just store it directly at SIAM PARAGON, next to the supermarket on the ground floor. Because the terrain of PARAGON is very complicated, it is recommended to ask INFO or the security guard. They will know what you want as soon as they see the large luggage you are carrying.

After sending the bag, he rushed to DISCOVERY for lunch. The reason why he chose this place was because the environment was so good that he had nothing to say and there was no one, unlike PARAGON, which was crowded with people.

Because I wanted to eat western food, I finally found one in 7L, which also offered 700B afternoon tea, but I forgot it by myself…….

Ordered a very cost-effective LUNCH SET, only 250B, sour, hot and spicy soup.

Chicken chops are fried with vegetables. They are a little oily and the others are very good.

The bitter chocolate Mu Si has endless aftertaste.

This is a single-point tempura 180B (don’t ask me why I suddenly want to eat tempura…). It is poured with mustard sauce and tastes subtle = =

Although I knew from the beginning that I had to pay a 10% tip, the more cheating thing is that I still need to pay another 7% consumption tax. This is the first time I have seen in Thailand that the consumption tax is not included in the price tag, and I always feel that I have been cheated. In addition, although this family provides FREE WIFI, I have not been connected to a foreigner for a long time. The foreigner still keeps looking at my cell phone, probably thinking that I have used up all his signals. I am wrong, God. The afternoon was spent in ASIA BOOKS in PARAGON. There was a large Chinese book counter in it. No one was rushing anyway. I stood there and read all the books I was interested in. This year’s plan was originally to read 100 books, but the target of 1/10 was completed in one afternoon (hello

Last meal, on the ground floor of PARAGON, the big food generation (?) I bought matcha milk and pudding, which claimed to be Hokkaido. It tasted good, but it was definitely not matcha. I cheated money… I knew the taste of bananas.

The 150B curry udon was not as delicious as Shanghai’s T-T. Later, a large spoon of chili powder was added to it, which was finally enough.

After that, I didn’t have anything to say. I went back to the airport and waited for CHECK-IN from 9 o’clock to 12 o’clock. Because of the Spring Festival, all flights were full at night, so I couldn’t sleep in the waiting hall. Finally, I put in three pieces of soap, a bottle of essential oil and a pair of incense blindfold in a trance state, which cost 800B in total. When I got on the plane, I put on my blindfold and slept. I was woken up halfway and ate a bad machine meal. I continued to sleep. I slept all the way back to Shanghai at 7 o’clock in the morning. I originally wanted to go directly to the company to work overtime to earn 3 times the overtime pay. After getting on the subway, I looked at the face of my hair through the glass window and gave up.

The whole journey lasted for 6 days and 8 nights, including all the expenses. It cost 5100 yuan. I ate and drank well all the way. I bought what I wanted to buy. I didn’t choose a cheap inn to save money. The only thing that was stingy was the transportation expenses. Two red-eye flights and two night trains made me sleep at home for a day and didn’t recover. Generally speaking, I had a good time. However, I can’t run to Japan and Thailand without any trouble, although these two places are always missed as soon as I leave. This year, we must rush out of Asia and go to the world (clench fist)

February 2012 Bangkok Pattaya Elephant Island Self-help Tour Strategy

Thailand has always been a country I want to go to. The reason is actually very simple. I want to realize my dream of traveling abroad, but the economy is not very comfortable, so I chose Thailand. I have always wanted to take my wife on a honeymoon trip abroad. I struggled hard between following the group or helping myself years ago. Finally, I chose Xiangdao Self-help Tour under the strong recommendation of my travel agency friends. Before leaving, I also made some preparations. Thank you very much for the information provided by You Duoduo. Many travelers have given me great help, who seldom travels. Therefore, although I am lazy, I still hope to share my journey with everyone (my wife can hardly believe I can really write it). Overall, I feel that this trip is very worthwhile, especially for young travelers. Self-help tour is always my only choice and I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

Our trip is Bangkok-Elephant Island-Pattaya-Bangkok. First of all, let’s talk about some preparatory work, some of which are already in other strategies. After my verification, I can almost believe it.

1. Exchange of Thai Baht: I checked on the Internet that Thai Baht can be exchanged in China at the Bank of China (this is a foreign exchange bank, the others do not seem to be), but it is almost difficult to exchange Thai Baht when I really exchange it. This is my first trip, and the Thai baht is still not available before I go out. I can imagine my anxious mood. I couldn’t take my family’s only $100 with me and exchanged it for another $300 (I heard that the $100 can be spent directly there). It is said that Chengdu Bank Gold Card can take Thai baht in Thailand and is free of handling fees. It happens that there is a Chengdu Bank Gold Card in my family, so I have deposited more than 10,000 yuan in this card. Just in case, I brought another credit card from China Construction Bank (isn’t it too careful, hey hey). As it turned out, In fact, as long as you bring a gold card, what can handle it, There is no handling fee, The exchange rate is very satisfactory, Most of the exchange rates I checked before were at 1: Within 4.6, some tour guides even reached 1: 4.3. I went back to Chengdu this afternoon to check my withdrawal exchange rate, which was above 1: 4.8, with an average of 1: 4.86. According to friends, sometimes it could even reach 1: 5. The most important thing is that Thailand’s ATMs are just like fly restaurants in China. They are everywhere. No matter which scenic spot you are in, withdrawal is too convenient and can be done within 5 minutes’ walk.

2. Language: At first, I was also worried about the lack of language, because it has been ten years since I graduated from college. Although I passed the English proficiency test, I am afraid there will not be more than 10 words I can remember except numbers. However, people really have potential and believe in themselves. Thailand’s degree of internationalization is quite good. Most people can say a few words. Not really, English plus body language, your meaning can be understood by the other party. In addition, Thais are really hospitable and enthusiastic, so you don’t have to worry about language and traffic.

3. Strategy Preparation: Most people who are going to travel start preparing strategies long in advance and have been hoping to check more information until they leave. But to tell the truth, my feeling is that the strategy does not need to be too detailed, as long as you know your destination and transportation route, and the rest can be adjusted at random. Most public facilities in Thailand have English names, which the Chinese can understand. In fact, they enjoy exploring all the way.

Let’s begin my pleasant journey.

On the afternoon of January and February 3, I took Thai Airlines flight TG619 at 15:00. The Internet said that I would arrive at the airport 3 hours in advance. Because I was still working in the company in the morning, I started from the office almost at 1 o’clock. I quickly asked my friends to take us to the airport and arrived at the airport almost at 2 o’clock. However, the airport formalities were handled smoothly, and there were few people at the border and security checks of the entire customs. They were on demand and arrived at the boarding gate in 10 minutes. My understanding is that the online statement that 3 hours in advance is for peak seasons such as holidays, and 1.5 hours in advance for off-season is enough.

2. Thai Airlines flights may be delayed than domestic flights. We took off at 3 pm, but we didn’t take off until 4 pm. The whole trip went smoothly. After 3 hours at Bangkok Airport, car ferry was sent to the lobby. Don’t delay too much time through the aisle, because Thailand’s customs work efficiency is very low, and there will be a long queue for each flight. It should be noted here that there are border inspection channels for Thais and foreigners respectively through the customs. We are already foreigners to Thais, so we have to be in the queue with foreign control.

3. Accommodation in Bangkok: Since it takes almost 5 hours by car from Bangkok to Elephant Island, unless it is in the morning to Bangkok, if it is in the afternoon to Bangkok, it is recommended to stay in Bangkok for one night. Bangkok’s main scenic spots are the Meilan River. The Grand Palace, Sleeping Buddha Temple, Zheng Wang Temple and other scenic spots are all beside the Meilan River, so it is best to stay on the Meilan River. When I arrived, I stayed in The Royal CityHotel, and when I came back, I stayed in The Royal River Hotel. Both of these are relatively old hotels. The latter has better conditions, especially the river view room, which is worth recommending. The prices of different rooms in this hotel vary greatly, so it should be clear when booking.
