Introduction to Phuket

Phuket is the largest island in Thailand and the smallest government in Thailand. With charming scenery and rich tourism resources, it is called "a pearl on the Andaman Sea". Phuket is rich in natural resources and has the reputation of "Treasure Island" and "Treasure Island".

Phuket climate

Phuket is a long and narrow island, extending from north to south, with an area similar to that of Singapore. The main terrain of the island is continuous hills, with several basins and 39 peripheral islands. The island is 48 kilometers long from north to south and 2 1 km wide from east to west. The northern part of the island is bounded by the Pan-Asian Bay and connected with the Bapa Canal, which is 490 meters wide. You can cross Chacha Pier, which connects Phuket and Panyatanong Pier, and the 660m Sarrasin Bridge to set foot on Phuket.

Phuket is located in the tropics, with a humid tropical climate, often with summer without winter. From April to September every year, when the sun shines directly on the equator, it is the rainy season in Phuket, especially in May, when it rains almost every day. At this time, there will be a vegetarian festival that advertises asceticism.

10, it will still be rainy for a short time. By the middle of 1 1 month, the weather in Phuket will be slightly cold, and the rainfall will decrease until the following March. 165438+ 10-April of the following year: tourist season in Phuket and its surrounding areas. During this period, the sea was calm, the weather was good and there was little precipitation. May-10: The tourist season in Phuket is low, with more typhoons and more precipitation.

The famous scenic spots in Phuket are: Patong Beach in Phuket, Phang Nga Bay -007 Island in Phuket, pp Island in Phuket, Cutthroat Island in Phuket, Emperor Island in Phuket, Krabi Island in Phuket, Fairy Peninsula in Phuket, Kiangzu Temple in Phuket, and Magic Duoqi Paradise in Phuket.

Phuket scenery

With the continuous development of the island to high-end resorts, the number of residents engaged in tourism on the island has gradually increased. There are pineapple fields and rubber gardens open to tourists in the north; In addition, visitors can also see European-style home buildings in the city.

☆ Time difference ☆.

The time zone in Phuket is UTC/GMT+ 7.00 hours (East Seventh District), which is 1 hour later than Beijing time.

☆ Local calling card ☆

There are three kinds of cards suitable for tourists: truemove card, Happy card and 1-2 calling card.

Happy card is another very common calling card in Thailand, which can be bought from 7- 1 1 supermarkets and street shops. However, passers-by of Apple's 5S mini card still need to buy a cut card in China and install it at the airport. Most of them cost more than 50 yuan in China, which is cheaper than buying them locally in Thailand (299 baht is equivalent to 60 yuan RMB).

No need to send text messages. Plug in the card to restart the phone, then reset the network settings, and then restart the brush road and WeChat.

The other kind needs to send a short message code, but this card doesn't. It's for tourists.

Official website's introduction package includes 100B phone bill and 7 days of unlimited 3G Internet access. The call to China is 1b per minute, and the dialing method is 00400+86+ mobile phone number.

☆ Exchange Thai baht ☆

The exchange rate of RMB against Thai baht is 1: 5.

Most raiders say: don't exchange money at the airport, the exchange rate is poor. In fact, the difference is very small, of course, you change a lot.

You can exchange it with a tour guide in Thailand, which is more cost-effective. You can also exchange it for RMB if you haven't used it up.

Remember to ask for some small notes for tips. Coins are for beggars, not tips.

☆ Take photos at the seaside and choose clothes ☆.

Style aspect

Generally speaking, short, light and elegant dresses are more suitable for shooting at the seaside.

A light or elegant dress can dance with the sea breeze. If angels come to earth, the picture will be more dreamy and moving.

Try a casual dress, navy suit or shorts with a short T, or in the hot Gini.

Color feature

Blue sky and white clouds, endless blue and yellow beaches, the seaside can be said to be the cleanest and purest place.

The color of clothes should be as simple and elegant as possible. Blue, white, light blue, light yellow and mint green are all good choices.

Material aspect

It has been said that lighter fabrics can perfectly match the sea breeze and outline the most touching picture, so chiffon or light silk is more suitable for summer wear.

☆ Long tail ship ☆

It is a traditional wooden boat used by Thai fishermen, all of whom are local fishermen.

The advantages of long-tailed boat travel are: freedom, snorkeling, swimming, going to the seaside at will, and controlling the time and place by yourself; Settle it, you don't need to fight with others.

Disadvantages are: there is no insurance, because they are all boats of local fishermen;

☆ Beach storm sign ☆

In Phuket, a red flag is inserted on the beach, indicating that the wind and waves are too strong to go out to sea.

The small green flag means that the weather is fine and swimming is allowed.

☆SPA Cenvaree Karen cliff seascape spa ☆

Exquisite is definitely the best in Phuket Spa, and there is no one. Even the Banyan Tree spa with a few hundred dollars is not as good as the environment and scenery.

When you step into the spa, you will see the magnificent blue sea view, hear the sound of surf lapping, smell the refreshing natural essential oil, and welcome you with a friendly smile from Thailand.

The precipice Spa is exquisite, which can make you stop at the window.

☆ Watch a shemale show ☆.

There are two shemale theaters in Phuket, one is the Simon shemale show at Patong Beach, and the other is the Aphrodite shemale show at 20 1 1.

☆ One-day trip to Pipi Island ☆

Cruise ships from Phuket to Phi Phi Phi Island all leave from or near Lashada on the east coast of Phuket, and the sailing time is 8:30.

Generally, the time for a hotel to pick up guests is 7:00-7:30. Life jackets, snorkeling gear and drinking water are provided on board. When snorkeling, the boatman will lure tropical fish with bread to surround you.

The large-scale performance starts at 2 1:00 and lasts for 75 minutes. There are two kinds of seats: ordinary seats and gold seats. The audience is fan-shaped, with a golden seat in the middle and ordinary seats on both sides, and the golden seat has a wider perspective.
