As a honeymoon, I don't want to travel with a group. With limited English and limited funds, Thailand is undoubtedly a good choice. Because of work reasons, I didn't go out until July, and the specific travel date was determined in May, so the air ticket was not very cost-effective. Plus, I didn't want to take AirAsia's red-eye flight.
The hotel was set after comparing the reservation with the price on the hornet's nest, and then compared it, which was more cost-effective than the local one.
In addition, it is troublesome for domestic China banks to make an appointment in advance to exchange money. In fact, the local exchange rate is still higher. It is convenient to buy a happy card from Taobao in advance.
The first is the cost. The total cost is about 20,000 yuan.
Ticket: 8K (Wuhan to Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai to Phuket)
Accommodation: 1.5K (Accommodation is ordinary, there is no honeymoon at all).
Shopping: 4K (L 'Oreal, cigarettes, dried mangoes, soap, etc.)
Then, as the rainy season, there is really not much rain, and one day it rains, and there are not many people. The one-hour time difference between China and China is basically negligible.
7- 14—7-25

Wuhan-Chiang Mai, Air China white flight 3K round trip/person, in fact, it would be much cheaper if you could book it earlier.
You can fill in the entry application form on the plane, and the airport staff can't speak Chinese very well. You can download the template in advance and fill it out online. The review was quick without asking for any hints.
The pick-up is from Taobao at Q, which seems to be the cheapest and has a good attitude. Only 19 RMB, no need to tip, because there is no change, but the attitude is still very good.
It takes more than 20 minutes to drive from Chiang Mai Airport to the ancient city, and then check in after arriving at the ancient city. There is no Chinese service in the hotel, so you can communicate English without barriers in a few words. Don't worry about English idiots.
Thailand has reached 7 1 1. It is convenient to spend money on water. Meiji milk, red bull and all kinds of drinks can be tried, which is cheap and affordable.
Street shops eat casually, especially those who can't speak Thai or English. As long as you are used to Thai food, there is basically nothing particularly bad.
The first day was basically nothing, so I arranged to visit the ancient city. The ancient city is small and square, and I won't get lost if I have a little sense of direction. Inns usually have maps, and the innkeeper is very good. On the map, I will mark the addresses of various scenic spots and inns, as well as small cards asking for directions when I get lost.
Among the temples in the ancient city, only Chidilong Temple needs tickets, only 40 B.
The temples in Thailand are exquisite and magnificent, and there are monks singing scriptures in Chidilong Temple.
It is recommended to wear shoes when coming to Thailand. After all, temple toilets basically need slippers or shoes.
There is a night market every day, but the scale is different. Some are like food stalls.
Sushi is basically delicious, one is 5B. After all, rice is delicious.
I don't like green papaya salad, which is different from China's. In particular, I chose to add crabs, and it turned out that they were added after raw crabs were crushed.
All kinds of rice, it's all spicy anyway, 50B.
Red peony is so cheap, 30B a catty, equivalent to more than 3 yuan a catty.
7- 15
Book a one-day tour of Black and White Blue Temple in Taobao in advance, 169 RMB for one person, and the travel agency will pick you up at the inn. It's a long way, but it doesn't matter 3-4 hours' drive, I'm really tired. Pass by Sanheng Hot Springs on the way and soak your feet for free. The quality of the group meal in Thailand is good, so you can't say that you can't eat it. It also comes with drinks. I sent a small pineapple on the way and have been addicted since then. I bought it when I saw it on the street, and it was not astringent at all.
The White Temple is really beautiful and worth visiting. The Black Temple is a museum with all kinds of corpses, bones and fur. The Blue Temple has not been completely restored. The temples in Thailand are completely different from those in China. In Baimiao, I met the most people on this trip, and it rained for half a day on the only day. Fortunately, I stopped at night and could visit the night market.
Hot spring inn
I don't know why someone threw money on it.
The main hall at the entrance of the White Temple, the bridge is said not to go back.
Where is the wishing sign, 20B or 30B?
Jinbaisi toilet
The night is Saturday night market. As a baby in Wuhan, I don't feel so big, but the temple fair has become a branch of the night market, mainly eating, and the main road is selling things.
The steak is ok.
The big spring rolls are too oily to eat.
There are also 25-35B cups of all kinds of freshly squeezed fruit juice and 25-30 bags of fruit, which is so cool.
When you are tired from walking, you can have a massage in the street. The price is also cheap, and it is particularly comfortable to press.
7- 16 chartered car, Lishi Queen Botanical Garden-Cliff Restaurant-Meng Zhanshan
Taobao booked a chartered car, the driver can speak Chinese, and the most amazing thing is that he can understand a little Wuhan dialect. The price feels the cheapest. 450RMB 10 hour. I am very happy not to get up early.
Queen Lishi Botanical Garden is very big, so it will be very tiring to drive in, or take a tour bus, which is not a popular attraction. The driver helped to buy the ticket, a car for three people 300B b. There are not many people, and I feel that there are many locals. There is a glass plank road inside, but it is not open yet. The scenery is good, suitable for taking pictures.
Just be sure to bring mosquito repellent. Tel: 7 1 1. The red bottle works well. I haven't been bitten for 12 days in Thailand. It took more than two hours to play and take photos.
Then I went to the cliff restaurant for dinner. It is said that they are all royal raw materials, but I don't know if they are true or false. Business is really good.
Meng Zhanshan, the reason for going is that vervain is said to be in bloom. I thought I was looking for a place to stare blankly anyway. Facts have proved that it's cool to see flowers in China, but it's even better to be in a daze in Thailand.
Meng Zhanshan is not big, the car can drive up, there is a shed on it, free to sit, and there is a canteen, which is not suitable for people who catch scenic spots.
In fact, there is also Meisha Elephant Camp on the chartered bus line, which is recommended by local people, saying that the scenery is very good and the tickets are separated from riding elephants.
Continue to visit the night market at night and look at the things you are going to buy. Plus eating.
7- 17
AYA's ticket to Baixian was not booked. At this time, the omnipotent innkeeper was useful and helped us book tickets for the afternoon.
In the morning, Taobao booked an elephant camp in Wang Mei, one person 105 RMB. Later, I thought it was a wrong trip and there was no need to go. After feeding bananas, arrange to ride elephants. Elephants in Wang Mei are wild and have not been specially domesticated, so they are prone to problems. I don't want to mention it. Anyway, this trip is really unnecessary. As for those who jump in the jungle, after seeing many injured people on the road, they are always worried about their injuries, so there is no arrangement.
At noon, the public found a high evaluation shop. Pineapple rice is especially fond of eating. It's sweet, and fried bread is the best in Thailand.
On the way to Baixian, I thought of shit, online celebrity town, the legendary shooting holy land, and then I vomited in a mess, approaching the three-dimensional S route for four hours. I really admire those who travel for a day.
After arriving in Baixian, I found a car dealership to rent a car. 1200B has been a long time. The mistake is that I didn't say anything about the car. As a result, I got a double car the next day, which was really depressing.
In the evening, the citizens continued to look for food, silently saying that the citizens were really convenient.
It's all light after vomiting.
The central hotel is an upside-down cabin. From the outside, it looks like a small villa, and the inside is seven days high.

Walking around the county town for half a day in the morning is really boring. It's really a waste of time to queue up for photos in artificially built scenes. On the contrary, some resorts around the county are actually very good, with natural scenery on the roadside. To sum up, you don't have to be free to drive in Baixian, live for ten days and a half, or live slowly. I might as well come back and visit more cafes in Wuhan.

Here comes the tea.

But in Thailand for so many days, it was this chartered driver who took us to eat the best food too early.
It's really not easy to take us too early without knowing English and Thai.
20B. It's so conscience.
Eggs, pig blood, tofu, meat and so on.
I ate an online celebrity shop at noon. Mango ice is so delicious that I can't forget it. I wonder where it is in Wuhan? I can pay with Alipay. The exchange rate is the highest and there is a discount.
Return to Chiang Mai from Baixian in the afternoon and go to Phuket in the evening.
7-/kloc-arrived in phuket at midnight on 0/9, and snail state picked up 69 RMB, which should be the lowest price.
Of the three beaches, Badong, Karen and Kata chose Karen. Badong is mature and commercialized, while the latter two are quiet. Kata is suitable for surfing and the like.
Turntable, landmark building
Go to sleep when you arrive at the hotel, go out to eat at noon, and follow the omnipotent public to find a store to eat. Basically decorated shops can speak Chinese. This is domineering. I'll give you every flavor of ice cream. Which one do you like?
After dinner, take a walk along the beach. There are few people, and the sand by the sea is fine. Hotel bath towels can be taken to the beach.
It's a pity that I haven't seen the beautiful sunset for several days.
7-20
I decided to take a photo at home in the morning. After all, it is inconvenient to take selfies by the sea, and I am worried that the tripod will fall.
In the afternoon, Taobao booked a sunset tour of the catamaran on Honeymoon Island. It is said that the number of people landing on the island is limited and they have the opportunity to see dolphins.
The pier to honeymoon island is not bad, beautiful and a little European.
Honeymoon Island is sparsely populated, and most of them are our boats. Because it is the off-season, there are only 16 people and two tour guides on the boat with a passenger capacity of 35.
Buffet on the island
The fish caught in the sea is sashimi now, which is super delicious. You can't forget it without eating sashimi.
Fruit on the boat
You can take a bath after snorkeling on honeymoon island.
A boat full of children who can't swim, the tour guide took the swimming ring and pulled us snorkeling together, which was super responsible. Snorkeling must not step on the sea urchin in the water, it will be very painful. The idiot at home can swim by himself, standing on the reef in the water and stepping on it.
However, the beach sand on Honeymoon Island is not good. It is best to wear snorkeling socks and spray mosquito repellent. A bitten child has a red spot on his back.
Unfortunately, I didn't see any dolphins. Later, the coach of the deep dive said that the chances were not great and exaggerated the propaganda.

The brain-damaged man went to the kingship and found that he had not left Phuket. He couldn't buy anything he wanted, and then he came back bored in the afternoon.
Relatively speaking, I think seafood is a little more expensive than Badong, but I'm too lazy to run. I must pay attention to the heavy boxes of seafood. You can go in without saying anything and make a counter-offer. You can also ask for a cheap shell after the counter-offer. On the first day, only five lobsters were pitted by others 1 kg, and the meat broke out the next day. I feel that cheese is more likely to go wrong.
7-22
For the second time, I continued to go to sea with the group, and the big and small emperor islands did not go deep diving. This pier is much worse than the one to honeymoon island. Coach 1-2 it doesn't matter if you can't swim in the water. Just relax。 After all, my sports disability has succeeded.
Deep diving groups are left unattended. If you want to have service and don't plan to dive, it's better to find a group newspaper without deep diving.
It's best to snorkel first, then dive deeply, so that people who can't swim are less afraid and breathe more skillfully.
7-23 Phuket flies back to Chiang Mai.
Continue to stay in the first inn, after all, the geographical location is convenient.
After a short rest, I went to Vallolo Market. L 'Oré al is cheaper than duty-free shops at the airport, but there is no gift box, so it is suitable for your own use or to send to your mother.
Time is tight. I haven't been shopping for a long time. I bought dried mango, weighing 26 kg for 5 years, the same as Taobao 50 yuan. Mosquito repellent night market is cheaper than Vallolo. I don't know if it's not bargaining or the night market is not authentic, although it is said that there are no fakes in Thailand.
In the evening, I bought soap in the Sunday night market and visited BOOTS.
7-24
Originally, I planned to go to Sutieshan and Shuanglong Temple, but I didn't find a kiosk for changing money outside the ancient city, and I couldn't use ATM, so I had to wander around casually. Ning Man Road feels no better. Not as good as Tan Hualin, but there is an online celebrity store with delicious curry beef noodles. Just find another store to do SPA, 300B b.
Here it is. Super delicious.
This feels tasteless.
7-25
I overslept and went to the airport I went back to Wuhan. I bought a set of L 'Oreal, double-bead cigarettes and Zhonghua at the airport. It's so hot to go back to Wuhan. It's said that I avoided the hottest time.
Final summary
Thailand in the rainy season is really good, there are not many people, and any one-day tour group can basically book 2-3 days in advance. The so-called rain does not affect travel most of the time. It rained for half a day and it rained 1 hour. There is not much rain at other times, and the temperature is lower than that in Wuhan. At least I'm super afraid of heat and can wear sleeves. As long as I don't stand in the sun, I'm not hot.
This trip didn't bring a SLR, a micro-single and a tripod. It's quite comfortable, unlike before, when I went out to travel alone, I spent a lot of time pretending and watching the scenery.
It's a pity that I didn't go to Angry Mountain and Su Tieshan. But because his thick mountains are suitable for going now, there will be cherry blossoms.
