Bangkok
Bangkok
Homestay | 4 days
Booking platform: Airbnb
B&B: Glabma hotel Fee ¥664
The homestay is close to Huai Kwang MRT station. A taxi to Siam shopping district is about ¥20. It is one MRT station away from Ratchada Train Night Market and a 30-minute drive to Suvarnabhumi Airport.
The location is as shown in the picture
Siam business district is in the center of Bangkok. It is convenient to eat, drink and shop nearby. The only drawback may be that the price is slightly expensive.
Lazy Sunday is a B&B recommended by Pan Pan. It is near the Siam business district. The environment and transportation are good. For your reference.
>>>Grand Palace
Time: 8:30-16:30 (ticket sales stop at 15:20)
Ticket: 500THB
Ticket promissory note
TIPS
1. Passports must be checked when entering the Grand Palace. Use your passport to purchase tickets.
2. There is no online ticket sales. Tickets can only be purchased in cash in Thai baht.
3. You must wear long pants. Nine-point pants are not allowed.
4. It is strictly prohibited to wear slippers, tight pants and waistcoat tops
5. Free map provided at the entrance
If you don't dress appropriately, you will really be stopped and not allowed in. There are many tourists queuing up to buy cloth. When they checked us, the guard gave us a thumbs up and told us that we can pass.
It is sincerely recommended to travel lightly and bring a hat. Most of the Grand Palace is visited outdoors. It is really hot and sunny, and it is easy to get heatstroke. It is best to bring your own water. Water is only sold at specific points in the Grand Palace for 20 baht a bottle.
transportation
1. Grab direct taxi service
2. Take the BTS and get off at Siam Station. Go downstairs but do not exit the station. Take the S6 bound for the south and get off at Saphan Taksin Station. Exit from Exit 1 and turn left and take a speedboat that costs 100 baht per person.
There is a street behind the Grand Palace, about a 10-minute walk, with many local delicacies and a specialty souvenir shop Siam Exotique The price is not cheap, but the postcards and refrigerator magnets here are the best among the stores I have visited. watch
Just around the corner is Home Café Tha Tien which is a traditional Thai restaurant. The fried pork rice with basil is so delicious that I fainted. The green papaya salad tastes very good. The Thai green curry soup is delicious but not spicy. Hunanese and half Hunan people cry so loudly
Fee 230THB
>>>Khao San Road
It is recommended to go to Khao San Road at night because there is nothing during the day and most shops only open in the evening.
do not miss it
Patonggo Cafe
Fee310THB
The coconut cream sticks are probably the best you've ever tasted. Besides coconut milk, there are many different flavors. The prawns in the prawn noodles are super tasty. The Thai milk tea is really delicious.
There is no Chinese menu in the store, but there is an English menu. Payment can only be made in cash. The store is at a street intersection. There are two fried dough stick dolls at the door. It is easy to find it by following the navigation.
After eating and drinking, we walked along the street for about 25 minutes and arrived here.
Chinatown
Chinatown without Chinese people is not very walkable. At best, it is just a check-in landmark. I have been to the filming location of Chinatown Detective (Ahhhh-)
If you want to come, come during late night snack time. I heard that there are many famous late night snack stalls nearby. You can try them.
The Grand Palace-Chinatown-Khao San Road are not far apart and belong to the same route. You can go shopping together.
>>>Shopping and eating
Siam Square
Siam Square includes several large shopping malls. To be honest, I don’t know where the main entrance of each shopping mall is. We usually get off at Siam station and wander around without direction.
In a certain shopping mall, half of the floor is dedicated to perfume counters. There are many brands, both local and foreign. It is really a paradise for fragrance lovers.
Here is a must-eat restaurant in Bangkok Inter Tom Yum Goong soup and pork neck are invincible. Pan Pan said that the fried mimosa was super delicious (he ate it at a very local night market near the National Stadium), but Inter’s I sincerely recommend you eat fried mimosa elsewhere.
Fee 420THB
Central World
Central World Commercial Center is a super large shopping mall. Regular brands are available. With the exchange rate, it is very cost-effective to buy clothes. There is Sephora on the second floor. You can basically find Thai local beauty brands here for 200 yuan. A bunch of them
If you want to buy big-name lipsticks, luxury goods, or Thai medicines, please don’t hesitate and go directly to King Power Duty Free Shop to get tax refunds and full discounts.
The most worth visiting is Foodworld on the 7th floor. Almost all traditional Thai food and snacks are available here. They are delicious and not expensive. Just try them all.
Lu Chu30THBMung bean cake with a springy texture
Coconut Shortbread 12THB Very delicious and cheaper at night market
Coconut Milk Tart40THBSalty crust, sweet filling, super rich coconut milk flavor
This pork trotter rice is super delicious
Fee85THB
Central World often has celebrity events. We listened to concerts online and even happened at comic exhibitions. The otaku escorts are really cute and funny.
The Big-C supermarket is opposite and the Erawan Buddha is next to it. When we took a taxi, the driver told us that many people were praying for China there.
"Thailand prays for Wuhan"
King Power
King Power Duty Free Bangkok downtown store is near Victory Monument Station. The staff here can speak some Chinese. There will be dedicated staff to take you to the front desk to register your passport and inform you of the full discount rules and tax refund process for the products.
Thai local products are on the 3rd floor. If you purchase a certain amount, you can go to the airport to get a tax refund. The vanilla aromatherapy and fruit soaps sold in the duty-free shop are particularly delicious.
Disney products are 50% off all year round. As a Disney fanatic, I really can’t get enough of these cute things. Even the little brother at the Disney counter is cute. What’s more memorable is the Disney Thailand limited series.
it's it it's it
It is recommended to visit the duty-free shop early. There are only a few hours to go out. If you get hungry after shopping, there is a free buffet.
You must go to the airport in advance. I queued for 40 minutes when leaving the country without a Chinese tour group. There are usually queues at the pick-up and tax refund counters.
The lady at the pick-up counter will check the duty-free products with you one by one. For the first time, my name appeared on the airport announcement to remind me that the boarding gate was about to close. Rounding off, I took an 800-meter test at the airport and brought it with me. The sprinting kind
Chatuchak
Katuga Weekend Market is a very large market with specific business hours. Be sure to check whether it is open before coming. This is a good place to buy souvenirs.
There are a lot of gadgets and the prices are not particularly expensive. There are several stores that specialize in selling aromatherapy. There are at least hundreds of scents, but be prepared to be dizzy when you enter the store.
If you want to go to the night market at night, you can go to Ratchada Train Night Market. There are a lot of food. If you want to buy snacks to take back home, you can go to 7·11 and Big-C.
7·11
I must go to 7·11 every day to buy breakfast, milk tea, snacks, and instant noodles. No matter how much you take, it will never exceed 30 yuan.
meiji milk is super delicious. You can’t buy it in China. The milk tea at 7·11 is delicious and a big cup. You won’t lose money if you invest in it. MAMA’s tom yum goong instant noodles with braised eggs are one of the best in the world.
When I returned home, I emptied half of the box to pack snacks, which was not enough for me. I suggest you get two more packs if you like it. Don’t ask, it’s just that you can’t buy it in China. Purchasing on behalf of others is too expensive.
Pattaya
Pattaya
grand island
The driver who came to pick me up was very cute and recommended me a seafood buffet. He was very enthusiastic but didn’t speak English very well, so the way we communicated on WeChat was that I texted in English and he responded in Thai, tacitly ignoring that the other party might not be able to understand this. things
When we return to Bangkok from Pattaya, we book a car directly with the driver. The cost is 1200THB which is cheaper than booking on the platform. If you need it, I can give you the driver’s WeChat ID.
The time to go out to sea is fixed. There will be dedicated staff to pick you up from the hotel and go to the port. You can play from 9 am to about 4 pm. The one-day tour package includes fishing on a yacht, snorkeling, banana boat rides, motorboats and parasailing.
There is a free buffet lunch on the yacht. The captain will make sashimi from the fish caught in the sea and share it with everyone. There will also be cookies and drinks. You can eat and drink as you like.
It cost less than 300 yuan to spend most of the time and it was amazing. Snorkeling, motorboating and parasailing were really fun. The tour guide, crew and tourists who went out to sea with us were all very nice. After the trip, we will take everyone back to the hotel, so there is no need to worry.

Thanks to Yun·I just picked up my bag and left without doing any guide·She also said that she was tired even though she didn’t do anything·Thai English communication expert·Metro route recognition and live map·Qi Aifei came to join this trip as promised
We were the most handsome boys on the streets of Thailand together, eating delicious food, spending a lot of money, and having a lot of fun, so I decided unilaterally that she would make the next travel guide, hehe.
Thank you Er for always participating in travel discussions. Later, because of the difficulties of ninety-nine and eighty-one, he let us go before departure. Er, you have always been our travel partner. Remember to keep the postcard I wrote to you in Thailand and don’t do it next time. Let us go
Thank you to the driver who took us to the airport when we were about to return to China. Knowing that we were going back to China, he said very gently in English, "You are going home. Be careful on the road." He also gave me the highway toll bill and said he would keep it as a souvenir.
Thank you to all the people I met during my travels and to you who saw this. Take a bow. See you next time.
