When traveling to Bangkok for the first time, what should you pay attention to in advance?

I know there are a lot of things to note about traveling in Thailand, but this time I plan to focus on writing an article about some things to note about traveling in Bangkok. Because most of them fly to Bangkok first (mainly because it’s cheaper), and then fly from Bangkok to other places. Therefore, there will be a lot of people staying in Bangkok. The purpose of writing this guide is also to help more people who come to Thailand for the first time through detailed description.

I repeatedly told my friends about the issue of visa on arrival many times, but some people still went to apply for a visa on arrival, and then told me that they regretted not applying for a visa in advance. In fact, if the visa on arrival fee is not waived, you will not have to queue for a long time to apply for a visa on arrival. However, Thailand is currently in a period where the visa fee on arrival is waived, and there are too many people traveling there. A friend of mine waited in line for two hours to get out. He was almost questioning his life.

The title of Bangkok's "Congested City" is not just talk. You will never know the helpless feeling of being stuck in traffic jam for more than an hour in a short distance from the airport, and the driver is still there. His face is calm. All in all, it is really not recommended to take a taxi when going out, especially during peak hours. Of course, if you are bringing children or the elderly, you can only take a taxi! In addition, all kinds of reverse-traffic overtaking cars in Bangkok without speed limits are terrifying, especially the tutu cars? So fast? So it’s good for everyone to do MTR or BTS as much as possible. If you really want to experience a Tutu car, remember to bargain. The price they offer is very high, especially if you are a tourist, so be sure to bargain!

Thailand is a tropical country, but the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is really big. Why? Because their air conditioners are turned on very low and are free of charge. If you are not careful, you may find yourself catching a cold after returning from a tropical country! To avoid this, bring one or two light jackets to wear indoors. Alipay and WeChat in Bangkok are not very developed yet. Most stores, especially night market stalls, accept cash. Remember to prepare enough cash.

The floating market has attracted a lot of people in recent years, which has also resulted in an overwhelming number of Chinese tourists choosing to go here. As a tourist who has personally experienced it, I do not recommend that you go to floating markets with many people in China. There is not only one floating market in Bangkok. If you want to go there, you have to go to the floating market where Thai locals go. The prices are extremely low. Looking at it, almost all of them are locals, mixed with a small number of Japanese, Europeans and Americans, and very few Chinese!

When shopping in Thailand, you can search in advance whether the place you are going to is tax refundable. Generally, you can get a refund of about 30 yuan for a purchase of 2,000 baht or more. If you buy less, it’s okay. If you buy a lot, don’t forget to get a tax refund. , add up a little makes a lot! That’s probably all there are to note when traveling to Bangkok! If you like it and find it useful, please share it more!
