The surface of the beach
It's like plain white paper
Once written on it
Poetry gushes out like water
The ocean is like a world of fish
I was naked and went down into the water to swim around
Lived in two worlds at the same time
--This is a poem by a Thai poet
Meitu preview
Thailand, there are two seasons a year – dry and rainy.
Fortunately, during the rainy season in May, I walked into Phuket and did not encounter heavy rain in five days.
So, start with a wave of meitu to catch your eye.

First, the itinerary: This is the second time this year to step out of the country, with a new passport, in view of the fact that I will not have a third language in addition to Chinese and local dialects, I decisively chose to travel with the group - theme: Heart Joy Sea Tour Six Days and Five Nights Tour (As a travel expert, self-help is happy, and the group is also happy. Self-aggrandizement, strong adaptability).
Depart from Fuzhou, 4 hours direct flight to Krabi. Staying in a local five star hotel by the sea, in short, I was impressed.
D1: Fuzhou-Krabi Reference flight: E3 8654 (13:20/17:45) Departure and arrival are all Beijing time (friendly reminder: Phuket local time is one hour later than Beijing time)
D2: Magic Four Islands - Snorkeling - First Line Sky Beach - Speedboat Big PP Island - Little PP Island + Lover's Beach - Paradise Bay - Bird's Nest Cave (Exterior)

The order of the travel notes is not exactly according to the itinerary, so I am free to play.
2. Prepare before travel
I'm not a good pre-trip guide, and even if I did, I basically didn't use it. There are too many plans in life, so why should travel fix yourself in the frame of the strategy?
It just happens to be a group tour, there is difficulty in finding a tour leader, and I am witty and lazy.
General precautions for traveling abroad with a group:
Visa Information:
● Original passport valid for more than half a year and more than three pages of visa blank pages; visa policy, visa on arrival
●Two high-definition color photos on a white background within two inches for half a year.
Departure: Please be sure to bring your passport. It is allowed to carry 5,000 US dollars or the equivalent foreign currency, and the maximum amount of RMB is 20,000 yuan; if you are punished for carrying too much currency, it is not related to the travel agency. Advanced cameras and cameras must be declared to customs before they can be taken out of the country; fruits, plants, and animals must be quarantined.
Customs clearance: collectively through the immigration bureau, border guards, customs, remember not to help strangers with luggage, in order to prevent being used.
Transportation: Mobile phones and game consoles are prohibited on the aircraft, and please do not make loud noises on board. Thai vehicles drive on the left (opposite to domestic vehicles)
Check-in: 15 kg of free checked baggage is allowed per person; please keep valuable and fragile items or items that need to be retrieved at any time in your carry-on baggage, in case of loss, theft, robbery, the travel agency is not responsible. Liquids of more than 100 ml (such as body lotion, shampoo and other liquids, containers exceeding 100 ml) need to be checked in, and after arriving at the destination, they must first pass through the immigration office and then pick up their luggage.
Safety: Thailand is a country that prohibits gambling and drugs, please do not gamble in the car and in public places (any card game is not suitable) or carry or eat items that involve illegal activities. The Thai people are still quite friendly, Phuket is less political than Bangkok, and it is okay to occasionally go to a crowded place. Thailand Tourism Police Hotline 1155.
Languages: The lingua franca is thai, while English is only spoken in hotels and visitor areas.
Time difference: 1 hour slower than In China.
Weather: Thailand has a year-round temperature of about 27 °C-32 °C, and the highest temperature in April-July, about 37 °C.
Essential items: Personal items: thin coat, sunscreen, sunglasses, umbrellas, toiletries (towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste), slippers, switch sockets, etc. (The hotels we stayed in all have Chinese standard sockets, so there is no socket conversion.) ）
Foreign exchange: The exchange of local currency can be exchanged at the local airport, bank, and tourist guide. The local ATM machine can also withdraw baht directly, some require a handling fee, a sum of 100 baht (about 19 yuan)
In terms of communications: Thailand has opened China Mobile Communications, which can be used by mobile phones that roam internationally. Of course, roaming is too expensive, and local tycoons can do it. In order to keep the communication smooth during my stay in Thailand, I can buy a 7-day calling card on the plane or at the airport, unlimited traffic, and the call time can be Baidu by myself, because I chose another communication method: Roaming Treasure. Rented a Thai wifi at The Universal Roaming Wifi next to the Fuzhou Airport Duty Free Shop. After all, the need to go online now far exceeds the call function.
About tipping: Thailand is a country where services need to be tipped, for example: 20 yuan / time for Thailand visa on arrival, 10 yuan / person for customs clearance, hotel waiter with luggage, room cleaning 20 baht / time, SPA technician tip 50 baht / person, boatman tip 50 baht / person, or change the thai baht to carry it, after all, want to take a photo with the demon also need a tip.
My photography gear and most importantly passport, a backpack to get it. In addition, bring a small suitcase and decorate the Thai souvenirs to go home.
Main shooting equipment Canon 6d plus Sigma 12 24 + Tamron 35 1.8 responsible for wide angle
Olympus ocd-em5 plus 40150pro is responsible for telephoto
Legend has it that there are three treasures abroad, roaming treasure, Alipay and charging treasure.
Then change the thai baht pocket money, the exchange rate of about 1:5.4, suddenly feel wide.
About domestic customs clearance
Departure Place: Fuzhou Changle International Airport Fuzhou South Bus Station, North Bus Station, Sanfang Qixiang and other places have an airport shuttle bus that takes about 50 minutes to the airport.
Boarding time: 1:40pm flight directly to Krabi, Thailand, because of the need for customs clearance, baggage drop-off and other procedures, we will meet at the airport at 11:20.
All kinds of declaration materials are directly handed over to our team leader to get it done, and it is easy to follow the group. Ha ha
The other security measures are basically the same as domestic flights, I pulled out my suitcase, and there were 5 camera batteries, fortunately, when I was a battery dealer, it was also quite drunk.
