I want to go to Thailand for a self-help tour. How to deal with the whole process and past precautions? Please reply if there are experts. Thank you.

1. Individuals who want to travel by themselves in Thailand need to provide the following materials to apply for a visa at the Embassy of the Kingdom of Thailand in China. After the visa is approved, they can travel:

1. Please submit a passport valid for more than 6 months, fill in a complete visa application form and passport size photos (2-inch white background or blue background).

2. Confirm the round-trip air ticket to the travel itinerary. ?

3. Proof of deposit of not less than RMB 10000.

4. Letter of guarantee (in English or Thai) issued by the applicant's unit or employer, stamped with the official seal of the unit and attached with the guarantor's business card; The letter of guarantee indicates the applicant's name, position, detailed contact information, and the purpose and duration of his stay in Thailand. ?

5. If parents accompany their children, please show relevant proof of relationship, such as household registration book, original and photocopy of children's birth certificate or marriage certificate. ?

6. Retirees are required to show the original and photocopy of retirement certificate, and attach the confirmed hotel order details (the applicant's name is required)?

7. Freelancers should show the original residence certificate issued by the sub-district office or neighborhood committee and its English translation, and attach the confirmed hotel order details (the applicant's name is required). Note: If the applicant has changed his passport within one year, please provide the original passport.

Second, Thailand tourism matters needing attention:

1, wading safety. Many tourist attractions in Thailand are by the sea. During the monsoon season, the surrounding waters are stormy, the sea conditions change rapidly, and safety accidents such as snorkeling and swimming occur frequently. For example, the monsoon season in Phuket is from May to 65438+1October every year, and in Koh Samui it is from165438+1October to April the following year.

Don't think of yourself as a showman, don't go into the water where there are storms or undercurrents, don't go into the water in dangerous places (such as beaches with warning signs such as red flags), and don't go into the water after drinking. Snorkeling requires simple and necessary training and mastering the use of snorkeling equipment. Old people, patients with hypertension and heart disease should not snorkel. In addition, local hotel swimming pools are generally not equipped with lifeguards, so it is best to go together. ?

2. Traffic safety. Thailand's right rudder turns to the left. When crossing the road, look to the right first, then to the left, and pay attention to avoid "motorcycles". Choose a taxi that is willing to use the meter, and write down the license plate and driver's license information at the left front windshield. Buy tickets and insurance from a regular coach company, and don't take the night bus.

It is illegal and driving without a license to rent and drive a motorcycle in Thailand if you don't hold a local driver's license or an international driver's license. If you are not familiar with the local traffic regulations and road conditions, the probability of traffic accidents is high, and it is difficult to safeguard rights afterwards. In case of traffic accident, call the police immediately (191); In case of casualties, call an ambulance (1669, 169 1, 1554). ?

3. Property safety. Pay attention to take good care of property, certificates, etc. In Bangkok, Pataia, Phuket, Koh Samui and other places, there are frequent cases of carjacking, swiping bank cards, and theft of hotel luggage and property. ?

4. Safety by boat. Please choose a regular travel company and shipping company, and know whether there is travel accident insurance and the scope of claims before registration; Understand the weather and sea conditions of the day. If the weather is bad and the wind and waves are strong, the trip should be cancelled. Please understand and abide by the relevant safety requirements when riding a speedboat, wear a life jacket at all times and sit firmly to prevent bumping and injury. ?

It is safe to rent a boat. Economic disputes caused by renting motorboats at the seaside are more common. The performance and driving skills of motorboats are different from driving. In addition, emergencies at sea can't be controlled, and casualties occur from time to time. Leasing companies often make high claims to tourists on the grounds that ships are scratched or damaged. Therefore, before chartering a boat, you must know the lease contract in detail, especially the contents of the insurance claim clauses.

In case of a claim for motorboat collision, you should call the police (tourist police: 1 155) for assistance. The black market of passports in Thailand is rampant. Don't mortgage your passport when renting a boat to prevent it from being stolen. ?

6. Food safety. The weather in Thailand is hot, people like to drink ice water, and there are many delicious seafood stalls on the roadside. Tourists should not be greedy when eating. Prepare common medicines such as diarrhea before going out. ?

Extended data

Matters needing attention when entering Thailand:

1. Tourists who bring plants, live animals, pets and animal products into Thailand must apply to the Ministry of Agriculture of Thailand in advance, and after approval, they will go through customs clearance procedures with the Thai Customs on the basis of passing the animal and plant inspection and quarantine.

2. There is no limit to the amount of Thai currency that passengers can bring into Thailand; Exit shall not exceed 50000 baht.

You can bring any foreign currency into or out of Thailand, but the total amount must not exceed 20,000 US dollars, otherwise you must declare it to the customs. ?
