Really? Very close.
According to the introduction of the local travel agency in Thailand, China passports are exempt from visa fees on arrival from 201810/.
Not only did Thailand's local travel agencies reveal Facebook, but Thai Deputy Prime Minister Sonchi also said in an interview that he would strengthen maritime safety management and strive to promote the implementation of visa-free fees for China tourists in the second half of the year. It seems that the news is near.
More than a month has passed since the shipwreck in Phuket, and the Thai government has finally stopped making excuses and started to take practical actions to improve the treatment of China tourists.
In this way, going to Thailand in 1 1 and1February can not only save a visa fee, but also catch up with the comfortable and cool season in Thailand, which can be described as the right time and the right place!
Where to Play Bian Xiao Recommend a small town in northern Thailand-Chiang Rai. Although not as famous as Bangkok and Chiang Mai, it is an addictive holiday paradise that combines unpopularity, art and freshness.
In Chiang Rai, the carefree and low-key pace makes people want to stay and live. It's also rare to catch a glimpse of China tour group here, which perfectly satisfies my niche travel addiction.
Chiang Rai 1① Merdingus "Nordic Restaurant on the River"
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived in Chiang Rai. I was so hungry that I put down my luggage and punched in an "online celebrity shop" recommended by local youth-Meltinyoumouth.
. It's embarrassing to just listen to the name.
I turned 780 from the alley to see my real body. It's amazing at first sight. A glass house is hidden among the flowers, as if it had strayed into the secret land of northern Europe.
The food in the store is not disappointing, with high value and good taste, and all of them are made by the proprietress.
I got up the courage to taste a special dish in northern Thailand-cold ant eggs. That's right! Ants' eggs don't sound heavy! However, mixed with special sauce, it is sour and spicy, tastes like Explosicum, and is unexpectedly delicious. Moreover, ant eggs are rich in lecithin, and the nutritional index is max! Might as well try.
The backyard of the restaurant is next to a river. After dinner, the sky is getting dark, the evening breeze is blowing here, and the sunset glow is hanging in the horizon. All this seems to explain the comfort of the small town of Chiang Rai.
Address: 268moo 2 1 Kholoi | Robwai, Chiang Rai 57000, Thailand.
Per capita: ￥70 yuan
② Night tour in Chiang Rai Night Market "There are songs and dances, and everything is free".
Although Chiang Rai's night market is smaller than Chiang Mai's, it is still lively.
There are two stages in the night market. On the stage, some people are talking about guitars and humming a little tune, and some people are dancing to the music, much like scenes in movies.
There are tables and chairs on both sides, and many foreign tourists sit drinking beer, eating snacks and enjoying live music, which is very leisurely ~
There are also many vendors selling clothes, fabrics, handicrafts and local snacks and fruits. Walk around and listen to authentic Thai music that reverberates throughout the night market, and you may even find many novel items.
Address: King Mueangchiangraidistrict, Chiang Rai, Thailand.
(3) ③ Rairuen MorganicFarm "Healthy and organic, experience the rich rural customs of Thailand"
RaiRuenRom is a complex of restaurants and organic farms.
It takes about 40 minutes to drive from downtown. Although it is a little far away, it is also very good to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and feel the rural customs in northern Thailand!
RaiRuenRom has 80 lai farms (one lai equals 65,438+0,600 square meters, equivalent to 2.4 mu), which grow vegetables and rice and raise many Mianyang and goats.
Here, all the food you eat at the table comes from your own farm, which is healthy and organic, and even has a hint of earthy fragrance.
The restaurant also offers cooking classes, where you can pick fresh vegetables in the field and cook a delicious dish yourself.
You can even slide in the fields, swing and feel childlike. Even sitting quietly in the room, looking at the beautiful new green, is also a kind of satisfaction.
RaiRuenRom also opened camping tents and tree houses. It is not a pleasure to come here and live in the countryside in three or two days.
Address: ... ChiangRai57 160, Thailand.
4 feel different Thai Spa "exquisite Spaor wild Spa, which one do you like?"
This time in Chiang Rai, I did two spas.
One time was in-Natural Thailand, a special health SPA in the city.
Spa, seeing the bright hall, exquisite home and fruit platter prepared in advance, I immediately labeled this store as "exquisite" in my mind.
You can choose full-body, shoulder or facial massage spa. The staff will help you wash your feet first, put on slippers and then go to the rooms on the second and third floors for Spa.
This time, I experienced the exfoliating Spa of coffee grounds, because the coffee grounds themselves are a little rough, and it hurts a little when applied to my body, but it is completely acceptable. After exfoliation, the skin becomes particularly slippery and I feel like a giant coffee bean.
The essential oil used later will not be sticky and has no artificial fragrance. It's a natural smell. I like it very much. The whole process takes about 90 minutes, which is very enjoyable ~
Store name: NaturalThaiSpaandcafe
Per capita: about RMB 150.
The second spa was even more memorable. It is hidden in the Woods of an ancient village in the Golden Triangle. There are several wooden beds in an open-air cabin. If there were no locals to lead the way, I don't think I would have experienced such an authentic Lana ancient massage in Thailand in my life! It is said that these hydrotherapy technicians are all local villagers. If someone makes an appointment today, he will give up his farm work and do a Spa for the guests.
However, their skilled technology is completely reliable. Holding a wooden stick in their hands, they stepped barefoot on the fire, then stepped on their backs and massaged with the residual heat of their feet. You can feel the transfer of oil and heat in your back. Sitting in the office for a long time can instantly relieve the pain in your shoulders and back.
The point is that this "wild Spa" has no commercial operation mode, and the final charge depends entirely on the wishes of the guests. I experienced the shoulder and neck percussion and gave about 200 baht (about 40 yuan RMB).
Address: Nanglai Village
⑤ Cuifeng Tea Garden "contracted the fragrance and green of the whole mountain"
Cuifeng Tea Garden is about 1 hour's drive from the urban area, and is located in the mountainous area with an altitude of1200m. It is the largest tea garden in Chiang Rai at present. As soon as I got off the bus, I felt the fragrance of tea floating in the air, and my body and mind became much easier ~
There is also a well-designed tea bar in Cuifeng Tea Garden, which won the world-class TheArchitizerA+ award and is a veritable online celebrity shop.
We arrived at noon that day, and the tea bar was still full of people. I found a platform and sat down. Looking around, there are green tea trees everywhere, and the vision is excellent.
Matcha series drinks and cakes are a must, and you won't step on thunder. Especially praised matcha Melaleuca, sweet but not greasy, I couldn't help eating two pieces!
Address: Chouifongteaco ，Ltd. 97 moo8pasang，Maechan。
⑥ Qing Laimantini Boutique Hotel "Resort Hotel Hidden in Riverside Gardens"
During my three nights in Chiang Rai, I stayed in the same hotel-Ching Lai Man Tian Ni Boutique Hotel. The hotel is only 9 kilometers away from Chiang Rai Airport, and it takes about 20 minutes by car.
Although the hotel is not far from the urban area, it is actually hidden in a riverside park covering an area of 5 mu, surrounded by trees on both sides and hidden in the city.
As soon as I arrived at the hotel, the waiter helped me with my luggage and greeted me with an ice towel and an ice drink. It was very thoughtful.
This room is big and clean. Every day before going out, the room is in a mess. After I came back, my aunt had opened the bed for the night, folded her clothes and put them aside, with small cards and chocolates on the bed.
The breakfast room is by the river, western style. Choose a place near the river, drinking black tea and blowing the wind, which is very comfortable.
Hotel staff are all trained in Chinese, so don't worry about language barriers. One night, I called the front desk to ask for the WiFi password. When the staff heard that I was from China, they answered my questions directly in Chinese, which was great.
Chiang Rai → Bangkok ① Thai Smile Airlines "Careful and delicious airplane snacks"
There are not many domestic direct flights to Chiang Rai. For most small partners, it should be the most convenient and affordable way to transfer from Bangkok or Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai.
I changed planes in Bangkok this time and stayed for a day and a half when I came back. Punch in the new marvel comic base in Bangkok, and there will be an introduction later ~
We take Thai Smile Airlines. Although it is a low-cost airline under Thai Airways, it is quite good in all aspects. The stewardess is really smiling all the time!
Aircraft snacks are also full of sincerity. Sandwiches, mineral water and paper towels are all put in a small paper bag. What surprises me most is that this sandwich is really delicious! The bread outside tastes soft and the sauce inside is just right, which is completely out of my expectation.
(2) Marvel Comic Base "Ben Marvel Comic Powder always likes to fall to the ground".
If you change planes in Bangkok like Xiao Feijun, and you are also a Marvel comic fan, I suggest you stay one more day and punch in the newly opened Marvel comic base in Bangkok in June, which is also the first Marvel comic base in Southeast Asia, covering an area of about 20,000 _!
I just walked into the museum and saw the "fully armed" staff, so excited!
After buying the ticket, before entering the venue, a staff member will help you enter your S.H.I.E.L.D. ID card. You can choose the color and type of pupil, which is full of ritual sense.
Even the drinks sold in the museum are buried with eggs! After I took a photo, I found that the back of the cup said letmebeyourhero. I quickly looked at my companion's drink and found that the words written on each cup were different!
There are 4D amusement facilities, 360-degree 4D ball screen cinema, AR augmented reality games and so on in the exhibition hall. You can interact with your favorite superhero until you can't stop playing.
The Marvel Comics Base in Thailand has Chinese time every day, Marvel Comics fans, ducks! The only drawback is too much air conditioning! Friends wearing short sleeves remember to bring a coat ~

The so-called starry sky, you must feel it after nightfall. Wine with charming night, 360 gorgeous street view at a glance.
