What should I pay attention to when I go to Phuket?

How much do you know about Phuket? Today, Bian Xiao will talk to you about some misunderstandings about Phuket. You can see if these are what people think. Now let's go and have a look.

1. There is no counter-offer or the counter-offer is too high.

Go to Ban Zan to buy seafood, and you will be killed if you don't bargain ~

But many people also misunderstand that Phuket is a pit, and everything has to be bargained. People often ask me if supermarkets and restaurants have to bargain hard and sweat! ! Besides, the traffic in Phuket is really expensive. In other places, the traffic of 20 baht, the starting point of Puji Tugboat Bus is 200 baht (about 40 RMB), which is a bit far. The counter-offer driver may be cheaper, but there is not much room. The safe way is to download the taxi software Grab, input the starting point and ending point, and display the price, which can be used as a reference price;

2. Don't tip or give too little.

Thailand is a tipping country, and many grass-roots personnel, such as waiters, drivers and flight attendants, have low wages and rely entirely on tipping; If you go to the main restaurant or the tour guide's service is good at the end of the day, you can give 100 baht instead of 10-20 baht every time ~ to enjoy good service, and tipping more can be regarded as respect for service;

3. Underestimated the ultraviolet rays in Thailand

Although Thailand is only hot and hotter, it is cool in the morning and evening. When you go out in the morning, don't forget to apply sunscreen when you feel cold for a long time. Maybe when I come back from the sea one day, the whole person will be red, and the skin will peel off the next day ~ ~ Sunscreen is sold by the whole family on the roadside 7/1~

There are more Thai dishes than Dongyin Court.

There are many kinds of Thai food. Although the choice is not as rich as that in China, it is enough for a few days' trip. Besides Dongyin Gongtang, Thai baht fried rice noodles, mango glutinous rice and green papaya salad, I can try more and recommend several dishes I like very much, such as fried soft-shell crab, curry pink crab, Phuket stew, Thai baht raw shrimp sashimi and salt-baked Thailand.

5. Book a hotel one week before traveling in peak season.

Peak season 12, 1, February; China Spring Festival+Western Christmas, you know, the house is conservatively estimated at least three months in advance; The later, the fewer choices, the lower the cost performance. Many foreigners booked it 1 year in advance. Does that sound a little scary? But the Christmas and Spring Festival fever is a fact ~ ~ rare good weather. The sea water is from blue to dark blue to green, and it looks good from any angle ~

6. Live in Badong, a villa with sea view, and walk to the seaside.

If Phuket wants to meet the invincible seascape at the same time, there is no slope, and it is surrounded by supermarkets and restaurants. It can be said that there are only a handful of them. Badong belongs to the earliest development zone, so the houses will be relatively old, and good locations are generally taken away by hotels. Choosing Badong means that there is not much fate with high-end and seascape holiday villas, but choosing Badong is indeed the most lively and convenient;

7. Traveling in the peak season, the beach controller chose to live in Phuket Town.

Don't get me wrong here, it's not that Phuket is bad. There are many delicious foods in the town, and the price is very high. However, living on the beach in the town, the traffic jam is terrible ~ ~ We live in Katu, which is usually 10 minutes' drive. Now in the peak season, we usually reserve 40 minutes to travel ~

8. Travel in the off-season and choose a hotel without a swimming pool.

May, June, September and June, 10 are the lightest four months of the year. Luxury villas and high-end hotels are the time for big sales promotion, and they are the lowest in a year ~ ~ At this time, the choice can be very capricious.

9. Rent an uninsured motorcycle

Seriously, if you are not particularly sure about your skills, you'd better not rent a motorcycle. There are many detours in the mountain roads in Phuket, and local drivers regard these roads as expressways. Imagine the speed! So the opportunity is to see car accidents every day;

In addition, many tourists who rent motorcycles here should have been cheated, and it will be fine if there is no accident. I accidentally scratched it and lost only a few Wan Tai dollars ~ ~ I really don't recommend it, but leaving my passport with others won't help them.

10. Phuket is not just Patong Beach;

36 beaches in Phuket; Almost every beach has a unique flavor; Badong is the most lively, Sutan is the most exquisite, and Freedom Beach is the most hidden. In addition, Karen, Kata and Naihan beaches are all very good.

There are also many excellent restaurants and beach bars (such as Cafedelmar and Catchbeachclub, Palmseasiderestaurant) on the beaches in the northeast of Pakistan. It's a pity that few people in China go to such a good place every time. It may not be well-known in China, but it's really worth a visit, with a different taste ~
