ADVICE TO TRAVELERS
- Here are some tips for your stay in Thailand:
- ♥ Attention, most payments are made in cash in Thailand: it may be useful to ask your bank to raise the withdrawal limit for the time of your trip.
- ♥ We recommend that you make a minimum of change at the airport (max.50 €) as the commission fees are generally higher than in the city center. Privilege the big Thai national banks: Bangkok Bank, KasiKorn Bank, Siam Commercial Bank. Do not make the change in France.
- ♥ Provide an unlocked phone to buy a local phone chip that costs almost nothing. Savings guaranteed from the first minute of use, even for France and unlimited internet. (Choose preferably networks: True Move, AIS or DTAC).
- ♥ Anti-mosquito product to buy locally (available in all grocery stores - at 7 Eleven for example), much more effective than the products that can be found in France.
- To put in your suitcase:
- ♥ Plan what to cover you in public transport, they are often over-conditioned.
- ♥ For your tours at sea, provide: cap, sunscreen (which respects the environment), UV T-shirt, sunglasses, beach towel, a spare and a rain jacket (just in case!). Masks, snorkels and life jackets are provided.
- ♥ A pair of water resistant shoes.
- ♥ A backpack for your day trips.
- ♥ We recommend traveling light to bring back more memories :)
