You better know these before your trip to Bangkok! Avoid detours!
1. SIM Card
It's recommended to purchase online in advance, or you can buy one after getting off the plane, as you will see SIM card stalls right after customs. I bought mine on Ctrip for 34.9 RMB, which includes unlimited data for 7 days, 50 minutes of talk time, and a phone number to register for taxi apps. If you choose a limited data plan, it's available for just over 20 RMB.
2. Exchanging Thai Baht
Priority: Exchange at domestic banks in advance > Exchange RMB cash for Thai Baht > Withdraw Thai Baht from ATMs
It's advised to exchange Thai Baht in advance domestically, as you'll need cash as soon as you leave the airport. The exchange rate at the airport is worse than in the city. In Bangkok, exchange shops are everywhere, near BTS stations, malls, and on the streets. It's good to compare rates, so don't worry too much if you run out of the Baht you exchanged in China. If you must exchange at the airport, don't do it at the shops right after customs. The ones upstairs near the departure area (3rd or 4th floor) have better rates.
ATMs charge a 220 Baht fee, except for Bank of China machines. I used a card that waives international withdrawal fees, but after the ATM fee, the rate went from 4.8 to 4.2, which is a loss. I highly discourage it! Bank of China has only two branches in Bangkok, one in Ratchada and one in Chong Nonsi. If you're not staying nearby, don't bother coming here specifically to withdraw money.
Mobile payments are accepted at: BTS ticket machines, merchants and restaurants in big malls, stores like 7-11 and Boots
Cash only places: Various night markets, street vendors, restaurants outside malls, airport rail link, taxis, MTR subway ticket purchase, massage parlors
3. Public Transportation
Thailand's BTS and MRT run until midnight. If you're staying close to a BTS or MRT station, even if you leave the airport at 11 pm, there's public transport available. The airport subway costs 45 Baht to the city and only accepts cash. BTS ticket machines accept mobile payments, while MTR subway only accepts cash. To visit the Grand Palace and Wat Arun, just take the public boat, which costs 16 Baht per person (don't end up on a boat that charges thousands per person).
4. Taxis
Downloading just Bolt and Grab is sufficient. Compared to Grab, Bolt is much cheaper, but for the cheaper car models, there are no drivers accepting orders. Only the comfort model gets orders, but it's still a lot cheaper than Grab (160 Baht with Bolt vs. 220 Baht with Grab for the same location). I recommend directly booking Bolt's comfort model and paying in cash at the end.
5. Massage Parlors
I didn't book any fancy massage parlors in advance, just walked into a suitable one near the hotel. Here's a reference for roadside massage parlor prices: 350 Baht for one hour (full body/foot), 250 Baht for half an hour.
6. Food Courts
The food courts in Bangkok's malls are very delicious, with lots of choices. The cheapest is the food court on the top floor of Terminal 21, where a coconut is only 35 Baht (50-70 Baht at other night markets and weekend markets), a coconut ice cream is 28 Baht, and a plate of fried noodles is 40 Baht. Great value for money!
7. Wat Arun
The ticket used to be 100 Baht, but from March it's 200 Baht. Take the boat from Wat Arun Pier Station for 16 Baht per person, and you'll arrive right at the ticket office. I didn't find a place to rent clothes outside, but inside the scenic area, the reference price for renting clothes is 300 Baht, including accessories and hairstyle, no makeup or photography, with a 1000 Baht cash deposit required. Renting clothes outside the scenic area should be cheaper.

Amazing elephant sanctuary in Pattaya
we went to this Elephant sanctuary in Pattaya. It’s a little pricy around 500bhat but they will come and pick you up from your hotel. They will also give you a hot lunch after you have finished #pattaya #thailand #elephant #elephant
First you arrive and have a briefing about what to do and not do. They you go to feed the elephants bananas and have lots of opportunity to take pictures. Then you head back to the main base. From there you get changed ready to get muddy! you give all the elephants a big mud bath and then join them for a swim and a scrub down. Once everything is done, you head back to eat. There is constantly coffee and tea available and also a small gift shop where all the money goes back to the sanctuary, definitely worth a visit.

Lovely Cafe near Pattaya Beach
Before getting back to work, I have tried Pippin, it is a cafe where is really closed to Pattaya Beach and you can enjoy all day eatery. Many tasty kinds of food, sweet and drink are waiting for you.
#Where to go this summer
Today, we will take everyone to visit a beautiful cafe with a sea view on Khao Phra Tamnak, Pattaya. This cafe is in the same group as The Sky Gallery, a very popular restaurant, which is very close by (you can park in the same parking lot). There is only The Chocolate Factory in between.
Today, we chose to sit inside because it was a bit hot outside in the afternoon. We ordered a Thai tea frappe, an espresso shot, and a croissant. Everything tasted great. It is perfect for chilling out, hanging out, enjoying the view, and taking pictures in the afternoon.
📍Shop location
Pattaya City - 400/1089 M.12 Phratamnuk Mount Nongprue, Bang Lamung District, Chon Buri 20150
The shop opens from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM.

The park has created a dessert kingdom with super giant desserts, which are colorful and make many adults and children take crazy photos. The children are particularly happy running around the park.
The parks include:
1. In the giant cone house, you can go up the stairs to the roof and take photos of the entire dessert kingdom from high altitude. It is very beautiful.
2. Giant ice cream ball tree, you can take photos at the bottom of the tree at close range.
3. Giant ice cream cake, with chocolate sauce poured into a cup in the sky, very proud.
4. The super cute Gingerbread Man Kingdom is so cute that my phone overheated when I took the photo. Like everyone else, I need to take a break.
5. It is shaped like a small train and you can sit in the carriage and take pictures.
6. Giant wave candies, donuts, etc... too many to list.
It is recommended to arrive at dusk, because the sun in Pattaya is very strong and it is really hot and sunny in the afternoon😂😂😂.

Pattaya Coral island
Sailing from Pattaya to the stunning Coral Island was an unforgettable adventure. The journey began with a scenic boat ride over the crystal-clear waters, offering breathtaking views of the coastline. Upon arriving at the island, a world of exciting activities awaited.
The first thing that caught my attention was the vibrant marine life, visible even from the shore. I couldn’t resist the chance to go snorkeling and explore the underwater world, filled with colorful corals and schools of tropical fish. For those seeking a bit more thrill, parasailing and jet skiing were available, offering a perfect blend of adrenaline and fun.
Walking along the pristine beaches, I soaked in the serene beauty of the island, with its soft white sand and lush greenery. Local seafood stalls served fresh, delicious meals, making the experience even more enjoyable.
The Coral Island is truly a paradise, offering something for everyone—whether you’re an adventure seeker, a nature lover, or simply looking for a peaceful retreat. It’s a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Pattaya.#pattayatravel #pattayabeach
