Among the many tourist countries in Southeast Asia, Thailand, is undoubtedly the most popular one, whether you go or not, Thailand, all the time filled with a cheerful, warm, colorful atmosphere, so this summer, I packed a simple bag and set off for Thailand!
About visas and tips
You must drag a large suitcase, the simpler the luggage, the better, because when you return, you will find that there are really too many things to bring back!
Change some baht before departure, Thailand is a tipping system, general services such as hotel room service, luggage handling, give 20 baht, do spa to give masseurs 100-200 baht, so it is necessary to exchange some small denomination change.
Visa application is very simple, our unified courtesy visa, you need to print the entire passport page (including blank pages), and a 2-inch photo, although Chongqing also has flights, but the time is not so suitable, so I flew from Chengdu to Bangkok Don Mueang Airport in Thailand, the flight time is 2 hours, and finally it is commendable that customs clearance and entry are extremely simple and convenient, and the staff will basically Chinese.
How to play in Bangkok?
The weather in Bangkok is really hot, and as soon as you set foot on the land, the heat waves roll in, but if you run into the shade, you can feel the coolness again.
Shopping: Icon siam Siam
Bangkok is great shopping, and if you also like shopping, then visit the landmark Siam World, which offers luxury, mid-to-high-end goods, food, handicrafts, and more.
Super like all kinds of handicrafts on the first floor, deaf woven handbags, designer sofas and chairs, colorful handmade soap, all cost-effective, also suitable for souvenirs, I bought a hand-painted woven bag here, the more I carry it, the more I like it!
Probably because Bangkok is an international city, their clothing styles are more chic and sexy.
Horse Killing: Divana Virture Spa
I can't wait to experience a different spa every day, it is an indispensable part of a great trip in Thailand.
In an old street in Bangkok, we find the famous local Divana virture spa, which is a 108-year-old old bungalow with dense greenery in the yard and a small elegant fountain, where the afternoon light and shadow fall on the floor and leaves, like dancing lightly.
The service of the spa is amazing, in our country usually only five-star hotel spa can reach such a level, the masseur's technique is in place, and the whole process pays special attention to your privacy, when I enjoy the spa here, I am full of green plants and sunlight covering the outside of the house!
Tuk tuk check-in food tour
Take a tuk-tuk to visit Bangkok's night market, a more authentic Bangkok style, Chinatown is crowded, although the heat is rolling, but it does not wear down people's enthusiasm for food, every store is crowded with people of all skin colors.
In Bangkok, there are many Michelin Bib Gundam stores that are cheap and delicious.
No.1 Derlo, awarded Michelin Bibendum restaurant for 5 consecutive years, charcoal-grilled pork neck is quite delicious, spread with banana leaves, and made with soft rice flour, the meat quality on the pork neck is mouthwatering.
No.2 Elvissuki & seafood, awarded Michelin Bibendum for 6 consecutive years from 2018 to 2023, you'll be hard-pressed to wait for an empty table here.
You can order with confidence because no dish will disappoint you.
No.3 opium bar
Eat and drink, then go deeper into the alley and find a bar called "Opium", and the medal at the door tells you that this is no ordinary bar. Its house is old enough to taste, a total of 5 floors, you have to take that box-like elevator once, can only accommodate 2 people face to face, it will take you past the kitchen, bartender, bar room, very interesting.
The dining on the top floor is unique, and the balcony looks out to the densely wired old streets of Bangkok and the crowds of people, and the wine, music and lights are fantastic!
Wellness: Payathai 2 Hospital
As a wellness trip, we took the Thai BDMS Phayatai 2 Hospital as an important stop, I never expected the hospital in Thailand to be so easy to visit! The hospital we know is cold, pure white, filled with the smell of disinfectant water, and it is full of people regardless of the registration of medicine.
But when I walk into Phyathai 2 Hospital, a subsidiary of BDMS Thailand, I feel like I'm shopping happily, because there is really a food street where you can eat snacks, desserts, Thai meals, coffee... You can also use it as a shopping mall, where you can buy healthy and green cosmetics, nutritional products, skin care products...
Because of the rush of time, we only did a heavy metal test, 10 minutes, can detect which heavy metal in your body exceeds the standard, what do you need to add?
As a top private hospital in the local area, projects such as nine-valent HPV9, medical beauty, anti-aging, and test tube are very popular.
What hotel is your stay in Bangkok?
Oriental residence
The first two days of our arrival in Bangkok, we stayed at a hotel called Oriental Residence, we arrived at 11 pm, several hours later than expected, but the hotel staff kept waiting at the door and delivered a welcome gift, my room was a very warm and romantic suite, the living room was connected to the bar, and the table was full of tropical fruits and refreshments!
The bed was made of rose petals to make Chinese, because I was too tired, I slept directly in the petal-covered quilt, and found myself full of roses in the morning, don't have a romantic feeling! It is worth noting that their pillows are really super comfortable in terms of texture, height, and size!
I like the breakfast atmosphere of the restaurant, not big, but very relaxing, probably because of their relaxed smiles, the dense greenery outside the house, the design style inside the house, and the taste of food, the wonderful atmosphere of the combination!
Avani Riverside Hotel
Among the many riverside hotels in Bangkok, Avani is quite cost-effective, it also has an Anantara next door, also belongs to the Gha Group, the price per room per night is 800-2000 yuan, its tone is laid-back and relaxed, all rooms are river view rooms, you can see the Chao Phraya River and high-rise buildings.
The biggest Easter egg is the infinity pool and skyline bar on the 26th floor, where you can enjoy afternoon tea during the day with a glass of wine in one hand and a stunning view of the Bangkok skyline in the other. At night, the lights of the bar are lit up, and the brilliant night view of the city can be said to be wonderful!
There is a mall downstairs, a quick glance, there don't seem to be many brands, but fortunately there is Icon siam nearby to let you shop to your heart's content.
In Bangkok, I stayed for 2 days, the strongest impression is half fashionable and modern, generally old and crowded, I like to live and shop in fashionable Bangkok, but also like to look for authentic food in the old Bangkok neighborhood, feel the city atmosphere, next we went to nearby Hua Hin, which is full of resort style, the next guide stay tuned!
