Is free travel in Thailand expensive?

No, Thailand is very convenient to travel, food stalls are very cheap, and many things in Chinatown are delicious. Next month is one of the peak travel seasons, so hotels may be a little expensive to book, so you'd better book online in advance. If you want to play, you can go to the hotel and find a local one-day tour group to follow. Remember to bargain!

Airport

The main building of p>Suvarnabhumi new airport * * * has 7 floors.

The ground floor of the first floor is the bus lobby, which mainly includes taxi stands, private bus stops and tourist bus stops. There are two restaurants at the ends of each side, one is Magic Food Point, and the other is the staff canteen. This floor also includes the medical center and the airport command and control room.

on the second floor is the arrival lobby (including flights from international and domestic routes), as well as transfer service, baggage loss and claim, entry and customs, transportation and hotel reservation, as well as change shops, internet access and convenience stores.

there are VIP rooms, meeting points, security checkpoints, service counters and shops of airlines on the third floor, including Boots, Starbucks and S&; P and other shops, and there is an overpass connecting the parking lot building.

The fourth floor is the departure lobby (including international and domestic flights). The customer service center, ticketing office, tax refund office, immigration office and customs provide corresponding supporting facilities for international and domestic passengers. There are also convenience stores, Boots and some small shops. The elevator can lead to the restaurant on the sixth floor.

Look at the sign on the ceiling and follow the direction indicated by IMMIGRATION. First, check your passport at the Immigration Bureau, stamp your entry stamp, and after passing the Immigration Bureau, take the escalator downstairs to claim your checked baggage.

There are many free travel guides or maps in English and Japanese in the lobby when you are waiting for your luggage to be checked in. Don't forget to take free travel guides and maps of Bangkok, which are very practical! If you know Japanese, it is recommended to take the Japanese version of the tour guide, which is not only rich in content and varied in discount volumes, but also practical. You can get it from the tourist information at the airport, right in the middle of the pick-up lobby, but there is no one on duty at night, but sometimes they will put more maps of different areas in front of the counter in advance for tourists to take away. For the whole trip to Thailand, the free map of Bangkok Airport is enough, and the signs and remarks of the maps are very detailed.

After passing through the customs, there are signs in the arrival hall to go to the bus stop and taxi stand. Taxis here are all priced by meter plus a shift fee of 5 baht. It is more secure to get a ride here. Outside the arrival hall on the ground of the airport, there is a taxi waiting area called TAXI-METER. A staff member will distribute a receipt to passengers. One side of the receipt can be torn off, half for the driver and the other half for himself. This one. The fare starting price is the same as usual, starting at 35b (Thai baht 35 yuan) for two kilometers, and then increasing by 2b every 44m, and an extra surcharge of 5b will be charged. In addition, you can also take a taxi outside the departure hall on the second floor of the airport, which can save the 5b surcharge, but it is less secure. In order to avoid the driver cheating, it is best to say By Meter once before getting on the bus.

Taxi

There are two types of taxis in Bangkok: "taxi" and "Taxi Meter". The former is based on bidding, while the latter is based on table jumping, and 35 yuan takes off. There are also three taxis, called "Tuk Tuk" tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tu

1. TAXI taxis

Choose taxis with "TAXI-METER" light boxes on the roof, and don't take taxis without them. The fee for the first two kilometers is 35b, and then it will jump 2b every 44m. In case of traffic jam, if the speed is less than 6 kilometers per hour, it will be calculated at 1.25b per minute (the meter is 2b).

Make sure you have change on you before you get on the bus, because they usually have no change. In addition, passengers have to pay for the expressway themselves.

Remember to tell the driver when you get on the bus to charge by meter. Don't give him the last chance to bargain. Make sure the driver starts the meter when driving, and fasten the seat belt in the front row to avoid fines.

2. TUKTUK (Tuk Tuk) is more expensive than taxi, and it will be adjusted according to the supply and demand situation, such as rainy days and festivals, so you should know the cost of going to your destination first to avoid the sky-high price. In addition, it is best to avoid calling a car near the palace and in front of the hotel. Apart from being difficult to bargain, it is also easy to encounter some things that deliberately take tourists to gem factories or shops to buy expensive things to earn kickbacks.

buses (buses)

Bangkok buses are divided into public and private buses, and each bus is divided into ordinary buses and air-conditioned buses. The fare of private bus air-conditioned car is about 2 baht, and that of ordinary car is about 5 baht. The fare of public buses is about 3.5 baht, and that of air-conditioned buses is about 6-18 baht. There are several buses operating in Bangkok, which are divided into public ordinary buses (without air conditioning), air-conditioned buses and private mini buses. It's best to buy a traffic map before taking a bus. Because there are many one-way streets in Bangkok, the bus routes to and from Bangkok are often different, so make sure before boarding as much as possible, and some buses will increase their fares after 22: in the evening.

1. Ordinary buses

have no air conditioning, and are divided into two types: red and blue bodies. Red buses collect 4-5b for the whole journey, and 5b from 22: pm to 6: am, and run all night; The blue color is charged 5b in the whole process.

2. Air-conditioned buses

are divided into blue, white and orange bodies, and the fare depends on the distance, from 1b to 2b.

3. Private minibus

This is another kind of bus with the same route as ordinary public buses. It has no air conditioning, runs very fast and is dangerous, and the compartment is extremely crowded. It is called a bus with problems, but the fare is all 5b. After getting on the bus, there will be a ticket agent in blue uniform with a long cylindrical iron box in his hand. Pay attention to take good care of the ticket before getting off the bus, because there will be a ticket inspector on the bus at any time. The advantage of taking the bus is that it can save you a lot of money and experience the general life of local residents by the way; The disadvantage is that you often encounter traffic jams, waiting for the bus to arrive or taking the wrong bus, which will waste considerable time, and because there are only signs in Thai, it is inconvenient for tourists.

4. Minibus

This is another kind of air-conditioned minibus. The fare is 25b, and it has 3 seats. You are not allowed to stand. When you get on the bus, you put in your own coins. There is no flight attendant, so you have to get on and off at the front door. Most of the routes you drive are busy, and most of them are fixed. There are English road maps in general stations, so you can write them down first.

There is a limit on the number of words. If you still need it, I can grasp the sorted self-help strategy and send you a letter in the station ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
