How to travel freely in Chiang Mai, Thailand without speaking English?

People who can't speak English are most afraid of the environment. The airport was crowded with people who all spoke Thai. Now it's not a question of whether you can speak English or not. It is a problem to completely enter a strange n-dimensional space. What should we do?

First of all, you must change money, because you can't do anything without Thai baht. You don't need to know English where you change money. There are currency signs everywhere, so you just have to wait in line to exchange it. If you care about the exchange rate, change it to 100 or 200 RMB, because the airport loses money. (Note: RMB 100 yuan can be converted into about 500 baht)

By the way, since you can't speak a word of English, I suggest you buy a happy card (for surfing the Internet and making phone calls) on a treasure before going abroad. This is not an advertisement from a merchant. The sellers in China are not more expensive than those in Thailand, because you can change your card when you get off the plane. For people with poor English, online translation software is very important, because I use Google Translate to translate Thai directly to others, so I have a deep understanding ~

Ok, now you have money, telephone and internet, and the rest is to take a taxi to where you want to live.

Scene 1: You are too bold to book accommodation, so you just need to write down one word: PHAE Gate is the only place you must pass in the ancient city. There are many accommodation conditions, all grades, within walking distance.

If you happen not to write down this unfamiliar English, there is something simpler: imm hotel or m hotel are two landmark hotels near Tapemen.

(Please pay attention! In Chiang Mai, please don't use 7 1 1 convenience store as a landmark, because there are too many, all over the street ~)

From the airport to the ancient city, the fare is 50 baht per person, or maybe 30 baht. However, since you are a haggler who can't speak English, this price is for reference only. If you really can't buy a cheap car, then accept your fate. Who told you not to learn English well ~

By the way, remember to use your mobile phone to confirm the price with the driver when you get on the bus. Because you can't speak English and the pace of the tenth five-year plan is stupid, this method is the safest before consumption: dial Arabic numerals with your mobile phone!

The exchange rate between Thai baht and RMB is almost 5: 1, so it doesn't matter even if it is dozens of Thai baht. Very cheap. Therefore, I personally think that people who can't talk should not care too much, because caring needs a language foundation.

When you arrive at Tapemen, you can also see many places to stay. People in Chiang Mai are very caring. Except for tall hotels, they will write down on the signboard that they are hotels. Almost all small hotels will have room photos on the street, and there will be several beds and so on. Just point to the photo and say you need it. You are the god of wealth, and the other person wants to make money, so you won't mind why your language is not good (if you mind, don't be there.

Situation 2: You have booked a hotel in advance.

Please prepare the hotel address, telephone number, map and photos of the facade or shop, because most drivers in Chiang Mai are really road-blind, and they only know very famous places for one second. Even if there are maps elsewhere, they can only find a general idea.

So, first show them the screenshot of the address and map, and then give him the phone number of the hotel if he reaches the general direction and starts beating around the bush. It is very convenient for them to communicate in Thai. They feel that they are all slang, and they can understand a sentence in a few seconds. Many corners are looking for it this way. However, here is a reminder: to be honest, I don't think if you don't give your mobile phone to the Thai, don't give it to him. Very risky. What should I do if I meet someone who is blocked? After living in Thailand for a month, I found that it seems free to make phone calls between Thais (maybe once a month). You can ask the other party to call him on his own phone. If you feel bad, you can give him a proper tip (mainly because I have read too many reports about motorcycle gangs robbing things in Chiang Mai, and I am a little nervous.

Anyway, even Pig Bajie and his second aunt can find the hotel you booked (unless you booked a hotel in Bangkok but went to Chiang Mai because you mistakenly thought that Thailand was not as big as the Second Ring Road). Report as soon as you arrive. It's just, it's just paid. It may have been paid online, so it's easier. There is no need for language communication at all, just nod and smile, how harmonious it is ~

Here, I want to explain that many innkeepers in Chiang Mai Inn will not be in the store after what time in the evening. When making a reservation, please check whether other guests have written comments. If you really encounter a similar situation, call the innkeeper and tell her your reservation website and order number (please do your homework in advance or translate this app with Google, the pronunciation will be very convenient). My personal experience is that when using software to translate, please try to input words instead of complete sentences, so it is not easy to translate ambiguity.

The next most terrible thing is how to live in Chiang Mai if you can't speak English.

I want to say here that if you only go for a few days and don't want to do your homework, you are willing to spend more money. In fact, Chinese services are provided in all fields, including restaurants, cafes, accommodation, day trips and gifts.

When you are wandering in the street, you only need to see the friendly people in China, and just go in and ask. We just met the tape worker, right? Opposite this door, on the street of the ancient city, go straight ahead. There is a village run by China people in Chili Town. Just go in and ask. Usually, he knows who to look for in shops and other tourism supporting services run by China people. We China people have circles, so we can know almost everything just by looking for one.

By the way, I want to make a record here. Imm Hotel is outside the ancient city. The m hotel is in the ancient city. We must distinguish between what is inside the ancient city and what is outside. Don't make mistakes. There is a McDonald's in front of imm Hotel, but try not to take the local standard McDonald's because there is more than one McDonald's in Chiang Mai.

Of course, although some businesses in China are not necessarily more expensive than foreigners (please compare the price differences yourself), some people come out to play just to challenge exotic customs, so let's talk about how to deal with Thais who can't speak English.

First of all, Thais don't necessarily speak English, so it's very convenient to stay online at any time and install software that can translate Thai into Chinese (for example, Google Translation application that can pronounce) on your mobile phone. (charging treasure should also be brought. If there is no electricity on the internet, it is teasing monkeys. )

Secondly, many restaurants have pictures of their own meals, and the price is usually next to the picture, and the price comes from Thai baht. Just point to the picture when ordering.

What if there is a famous restaurant at www. nn CBA. com 1 snail travel 1www.wntrip.cn and you find it is a local Thai restaurant, not to mention pictures, and there is no English version?

Because that restaurant is very famous, and you saw it on the Internet (usually in Weibo), most people will show pictures during publicity, right? Download the picture directly to the mobile phone, and then show it to the waiter, and that's it!

Here, you need to use a word: one (weight, fingers can exceed 1). If you are still a little particular about life, you can say one word to the drink you ordered: little ice, because there is too much ice in Thai drinks, and often you stand there after drinking a glass of water. Of course, you can drink like that if you like, and it's up to you to be rich and frugal ~

I already know how to eat, so I have to pull when I eat. Let's learn the word toilet. I really can't bear to take the time to teach you, because I personally think that the public toilets here are still not easy to find. Remember this word: toilet, and then don't worry that what you meet is just a restaurant, just an inn, which has nothing to do with you. If you are really in a hurry, just say the word directly to the store. With a constipated expression and a smile, 90% of shops will be willing to let you use their toilets. Of course, remember to wash them! (Toilet pronunciation, please practice several times more, and check how to write Thai words if necessary, because some locals really don't understand this word, so they have to take off their pants to understand and cry.)

Here is another word that must be learned: wifi (if you have a happy card, you don't need to learn this word. Anyway, you are a local tyrant and you carry a net with you). Usually, you can't get a wifi password without spending money, but there are exceptions, such as extreme situations such as really anxious to find friends. Anyway, you look anxious. Maybe the store will give you a password, but this method is not recommended. If you hire more people, people will think you China people are good thieves.

So no matter you are a local tyrant or a naughty one, as long as you need to surf the Internet or buy a happy card, it is the most "Dont Ask For Help". This card has an expiration date, and you need to recharge it after it expires. You can call 7 1 1, just say it's a happy card and give them money. They still got the message, but I found 7 1 1.

The problem of eating and drinking is solved. This is a scenic spot. If you must take a day trip along the tourist route, find a Chinese-speaking supplier. Really, speaking English is too complicated, unless you meet a bilingual from China who can stay with you in the hotel. If you meet him, hug your thighs and go out to play with him. Remember to invite him to dinner ~

If you don't have thighs to hug, go to a place that offers a one-day tour of Chinese. There are some near the Taipei Gate. You can see them along the city wall. You can't see them anyway, and you're not afraid. It means that you took another road and went to Chiang Mai Gate, so you can't see them. Then please keep walking. You must see them around the ancient city. What a waste of feet. Am I cute? ~

The ancient city is square, and what is particularly lovely is that the paths are connected. I think people who can get lost in the ancient city are gods in the road, because the design here is really stupid. Well, if you really get lost, take a taxi and let him go to M Hotel (I won't even say PHAE Gate in case you don't remember), so that you can go back to Chiang Mai, where everyone knows, right? Remember, those who charge more than 20 baht will never sit down.

In fact, for the average person, is this enough? I think it's almost enough for now. To sum up:

Look at the pictures and prices when ordering. Just point to the picture. Some restaurants need to clean their own tableware and chopsticks. Observe whether people around you do this. If they do, learn to do it. Try not to waste, not to make noise, and not to embarrass China people.

Remember what the toilet says, so that you can go in and out at any time. Any store can try to borrow the toilet, so you don't have to feel embarrassed at all. If you put it outside, the Thai people will be even more embarrassed. Please don't urinate anywhere, no matter adults or children, and don't embarrass us in China.

Raise your hand and hit a red double-decker car in the ancient city (pictured above). The basic fare is 20 baht, so you don't have to talk about the price. Just say the address directly, but in fact, if you don't know, give it to him, such as maps and store maps. The more detailed, the better. Moreover, there is a particularly good way to get Thai people to help you, because if you live in a shop run by China people, you will definitely get a taxi from China, and he is definitely one of the people who can open a shop abroad.

If you live in a store in Thailand, you just need to know where you want to go (try to have the phone number of the place you want to go, and they will be happy to call you to help you understand, and there is really no charge. If you charge, you can use your mobile phone to make it work), so the process is much simpler. You can ask the innkeeper for it and take a taxi for you directly. Isn't that all?

However, when I go there and come back, I should remember the famous landmarks next to the inn (for example, the intersection where I live is a famous local restaurant, so I will show it to the driver with the restaurant's logo map, I will know it, and I don't need to talk at all).

One-day tour is suggested to go with people from China, because it involves many links, and it is embarrassing not to communicate at all. It is good for everyone to help. But there is a suggestion. If you want to go out to play with someone, it is suggested to find out whether you two get along well, have dinner and chat together for a day, and feel whether the other person is a wonder in your eyes. If so, you would rather not go than make do with it. Most people only go to the scenic spot once in their lives. If your traveling companion is not good, you may want to curse the San Zi Jing, so you should carefully consider whether to choose a traveling companion. In addition, due to the limited holidays, it is also important to try to control your bad habits and minor problems and make your trip a success.

My English test level in Thai Language School is 8 (out of 30), but I'm not the kind of person who doesn't talk. I try my best to organize a few words I can say to express my meaning, so I live alone in an inn run by Thai people every day, so even though I have said so much, I suggest you try to force yourself to speak English when you go abroad, because the formal state is actually quite embarrassing and unnecessary. You said you weren't ashamed to say it, and the Thais didn't say yes. Besides, who knows who? There is nothing to be ashamed of. To be bold, you may meet unexpected local friends in Thailand. As I was talking, I suddenly remembered one thing, that is, I remember registering a FACEBOOK account abroad, and I met foreigners who talked with me and hoped to have contact in the future, so that we could add each other. The advantages of this are:

1. You can communicate with him in written English or use written English translation software.

2. They are locals. If you need to know something, for example, I need to buy an oil painting canvas, and I hope it is cheap, I will send it directly to my friends, who are Thai tattoo artists. These words are very complicated. I may not understand them in English, but everyone can understand them when I write them.
