Are you ready to travel to Bangkok? This detailed pre-trip guide will save you a lot of research time. Do you know Suvarnabhumi Airport, which has cheap food and good exchange rates? How to call a taxi safely and what to pay attention to after entering the city. I went to the headquarters of SupeRich to exchange for the best exchange rate. Finally, I delivered the souvenir directly to the hotel at Big C Shopping Center for free . This thoughtful guide will add unlimited fun and convenience to your trip. The entire airport is a bit like a small Mall , you are not here just for departure or entry. I heard that the food street is very, very good , so you can come here to experience a different flight experience. In this video, I will share with you what food and drink there is in the entire airport. The fun part and its transportation guide include how to take a taxi and the Airport Express, which can save money. You can quickly get to the city within an hour. As soon as you come out, you can see that you can apply for a 5G telecommunications card . As you can see, there are quite a few foreign currency exchange shops like K Bank next to them. The exchange rate at most of the exchange offices is not very good. You can see that the Taiwan dollar is 0.89 , so I would not recommend that you go there as soon as you leave customs. To change money , as long as you have Visa Master, JCB and UnionPay credit cards, you can come here to withdraw foreign currency. It is very special because it is next to the baggage claim area and there are all the foreign currency cash machines. When you come to this airport, you will go out of customs. It won't be very slow . Visually, there are about thirty counters. It took me about 20 to 30 minutes to wait in line. The airport is divided into five floors. The most important ones are the fourth floor, which is the tax refund location you have to go to when leaving the country, and the first floor. On the first floor, you can take a taxi and the Grab connection point newly added in 2024 is here . There is also a food court in the corner and the price is relatively cheap. The B floor is mainly the light rail line of the airport. During the peak season, it is very convenient to take a taxi to the city. Therefore , this is an affordable and convenient choice. In addition, the best place for currency exchange is also on the B floor. The escalator is quite amazing because there are escalators on both sides of it. It feels quite empty even though people look like it. There are quite a few , but at least there is some space for you to go to the third floor. You can actually see quite a lot of international chain catering brands, even local Thai catering brands or drugstores. This airport is quite special. In addition to the many restaurants at entry, there are also many restaurants after exit security check. Basically, you can pay with cash or credit card. Don’t worry about this. In addition, there are massage parlors. If you are entering and exiting today, it is very convenient. If you are tired, you can come here and enjoy this service. If you have booked a tour group or shuttle bus today, the one on the right is the shuttle group. I just saw that there is actually 115 on the first floor, which is the tourist policeman who is traveling. Ah, if you encounter some related problems, you can come here to find the police for assistance. They are available 24 hours a day and provide services in Chinese and English. In addition , Lawson and Seven can be found at the airport. If you want to take a flight today, drink Thai. If you are interested, there is a hand sign on the first floor. Also, if the restaurant you thought was too expensive on the third floor today, there is also a food court here. Before I entered, I noticed that it was packed with people. I found that the food here is really super cheap, pasta, or something. The average price of rice is about NT$50 to NT$60. I ordered a large portion of grilled chicken rice with two different methods for about NT$120. The portion is enough. There is a way to store value here . Take the Thai baht to their counter. After you store the value , they will give you a card and store the money in it . You can take this card to their counter and tell them what you want to eat. After a little communication in English, I found that their front desk staff can still speak English. After I finished eating, I The stipulated time for this card is to return it at 11:30 pm, and he will get the money back. Then you can eat in Thailand. Their sauce is super enjoyable , so I just poured a lot of sauce on it, it must be super good. The sauce is a bit salty and the chicken is actually just average. I don’t think it’s OK , but I think it’s very convenient because it’s just on the first floor, so you don’t have to go to the restaurant on the third floor. You can come here. I think it’s a good choice to eat here on the first floor and feel the local atmosphere. The taxi location is right between Gate 4 and Gate 7 on the first floor. The process of taking a taxi is to first enter the self-service taxi area and press the car type. Take a number , then get on and off at the designated location to pay. First of all, you have to confirm the car type you want to take. Press the sign above the entrance to the number-taking area to enter the corresponding lane. Large taxis, similar to SUVs, start at 40. Taxis are suitable for those with a lot of luggage . The starting price is 35 baht. After operating the self-service taxi area, follow the parking channel number on the ticket and go to the corresponding channel of the parking area in front of you to find your taxi. Make sure the license plate number is correct and get in . Tell the driver where you want to go. It is best to make your hotel order in English or Thai. When you get off the bus, you will be charged the skip meter amount and the following additional fees will apply. Short-distance taxis are for areas near the airport with a journey of less than 10 kilometers. For short distances, you don’t need to pick up a number. You can just connect in the small room in the pick-up area. As for the Grab pick-up location, just go out through Gate 4 on the first floor. Then I recommend going to the currency exchange on the B floor. You can go down from the elevator next to Exit 7 or the escalator next to it. When you come down, you will see that it says that the place where you can exchange exchange rates is to turn backwards. If you turn backwards, you will see the airport. Express line, now you turn to the left. Turn to the left and you will see a small downhill. Let's just keep going forward . Then let's go forward. After we go forward, we turn to the right. He is hiding in a little small slope. The alley , so I must tell you how to get there. What we see is orange, green, and yellow. Everyone sees orange, green, and yellow, which means that the three houses over there are connected together , and the exchange rate is relatively good. So we can probably see that we don’t necessarily have to There are crowds of people on the third or first floor to exchange money . Also, here is a little reminder. When exchanging currency, you can tell the person at the counter that you want to change some change, because the most important thing is that you have to take the Airport Express later. Most of the time you pay with change and banknotes , so I might as well remind you that there is actually a capsule hotel next to the currency exchange. Wow, I thought that when I came to Akihabara , it was like a space capsule. It had a sense of technology. I thought it would be nice to spend some money to make myself comfortable and enjoy the next trip. Isn’t it great? There are also those available here. It's good to check in your large luggage. Let's go to the Airport Express now to teach you how to buy tickets. You can see in the upper right corner. You can switch to English. Click here to switch to English. Click on the station you want to go to and select you. The number of people to take . For example, I am traveling alone today and I am alone. The price for one person is displayed here. The airport light rail route has a total of 8 stations and the fare is up to 45 baht. The terminal station is a light rail station that connects to the city. N2 can also be transferred to other public transportation . It is an affordable and convenient choice during the peak season. Next, there is the tax refund process that everyone is most concerned about before leaving the country. There are two situations. One situation is when the total personal consumption exceeds 20,000. The other situation is above 10,000 baht . The other situation is below 20,000 baht. Regarding the conditions for tax refund, the most important point is that the tax refund actually has a time limit, so try to buy your souvenirs or luxury goods before you leave the country . Especially Remind you that if you spend more than 2,000 baht in one store today, you will get one tax refund form. If you spend in two different stores, you will get two tax refund forms each. When you come to the airport for tax refund, please sort them all together and settle the total of your personal consumption . In the first case, if the amount exceeds 20,000 yuan , you need to bring the tax refund form for your purchase. Before checking in, we first go to the U counter and you can see a queue at the window waiting for the staff to check and stamp. After the stamp, we You can check in your luggage normally and check in for departure. Remember not to check the tax refund form. If the tax refund goods contain these items and your personal belongings exceed 100,000 baht, the staff will ask you to take it out for inspection , so do not check it. Please use it in your hand. How to get on the plane because after passing the security check, there is a high probability that a second inspection will be carried out. After leaving the country, bring your tax form and the relevant information required by the staff when stamping. You will see it at the intersection to board the plane. The sign suggests that if it’s still a long time before boarding, you can go to the left because there are fewer people . You can see the VAT instructions on the sign. Go to the counter. Just give the order to the counter staff as required and you can wait for the refund. The second option is Ah, if it does not exceed 20,000 baht, no stamp is required. After checking in, you can go directly through the security check and go directly to the tax refund counter. Once again , after security check, the size of the shopping area is like a small mall, with restaurants and shopping places. There are many duty-free shops along the road. You can find Wang Quan high-end boutique LV or New York handmade slow perfume here . Even if you want to taste mango sticky rice, you can also eat it here. You can also see it if you stroll along the way. There are a lot of international chain fast food restaurants , but the prices are really affordable. They are almost twice as expensive. There is a small sales department here. If you want to replenish water or snacks, this is a good choice. Oh , come on. There are two exchange rates in the city. I highly recommend it to everyone . One is the ASOK station close to the BTS, and the other is close to the Central World headquarters. The exchange rate is also the best. The first one is from Exit 1 of the ASOK station. You can see a lot of them. There are people queuing up , and it is very close to major department stores, so there are many people exchanging currency there. It is only one minute away from Terminal 21, but I found that its exchange rate, which I just exchanged, is 1.095. I found that It may be a little bit worse than the exchange rate at the Airport Express on Level B, which is the most secretive part of the airport , but the advantage here is that it is very close to the ASOK station, so you can change it as soon as you get out of BTS. So it's very convenient , but I think the exchange rate is a little bit worse. There's actually no air-conditioning on BTS, unlike on the Airport Express where it's very cool, so I just waited for about 10 minutes. Although it will be my turn soon , you may feel that it is a bit hot , but if you are going to do shopping in Siam shopping district today, it is the fastest way to exchange currency. And it has the advantage that it is on the overpass, so you After exchanging currency , you can quickly go to the department stores you want to go shopping. After exchanging currency , you might as well go to Terminal 21 next to you to take a rest. You can also eat and shop in the food court because these days I exchange currency in different places. I feel that there is not much difference in the exchange rate. Today I want to share with you whether the exchange rate will be better if you go to the Super Rich headquarters today. The headquarters is just after getting off the BTS Chit Lom station. It takes about 10 minutes to walk and you will pass by a large shopping mall in the middle. Central World, a department store, and Big C, the top choice for souvenirs. After passing Big C, walk about 100 meters forward, and you will see the red signboard of Li Haiquan. At this time, you have to turn right and walk about 200 meters , you will see Super The sign at Rich's headquarters is great . Come to Super Rich's headquarters to exchange money. You brought a very large amount of cash today. If you want to come here, how do you exchange money? The first step is to go to their counter No. 1 and register first. That is to say, take your original passport to the counter and he will help you register and he will ask you a little about how much money you need to exchange because they have some exchange controls. In addition, you need to provide a local mobile phone number in Thailand, so He will ask you to fill in your mobile phone number. If you are getting the original passport today, he will print a photocopy for you . Then take this photocopy and the second step is to exchange currency and prepare your cash. Then I I just visually checked that there are about a dozen currency exchange counters, so there are actually a lot of them. The best exchange rate here is 1.12. For example, when I exchange currency at the airport, it is about 1.1 next to the ASOK station. It is about 1.09. In order to save time before exchanging currency, you can also download the Super Rich APP to check the exchange rate. You can click on a nearby branch according to the geographical location of your hotel or tourist destination and display the exchange rate of this branch. You can also quickly obtain it through navigation. Know your current distance and location from the branch Good final summary. If you are very sure today how much money you will exchange for this trip, I think you can exchange it all directly on the B floor of the airport and then go to Asok Station or your hotel or tourist destination nearby. The nearby branches are regarded as flexible currency exchanges. For example, if you are temporarily short of several thousand yuan, you can exchange it for the last Super Rich headquarters . If you really have a very large demand, it may exceed 100,000 or 20 at a time. If you come to Bangkok, the most common sight you will see is traffic jams. Therefore, public transportation is also one of the ways for tourists to visit Bangkok . Taking the BTS is a very convenient way for many people to visit Bangkok , but there are a few things to pay attention to. If you may come to Bangkok for many days today and take BTS many times, I would suggest you buy a stored-value card. There are several conditions for buying a stored-value card. First, you need to prepare your passport. Second, you need to prepare 200. 100 baht is the card fee. The 100 baht fee is non-refundable. The other 100 baht is stored value and can be used for boarding. There are also some things to note. The first one is that the BTS card cannot be used with the BTS card. The MRT subway card shares the ticket window at each BTS station. You can apply for a stored-value card. It is also recommended not to store too much at one time . The balance will be displayed every time you swipe the card. In addition, the Rabbit Card can also be used in these stores like Taiwan's Easy Card. Use it. I also
have a few thoughtful reminders, so before you visit any scenic spots, I suggest you go to a nearby department store or you can use the toilet first at your hotel, so you should check where you want to go today. The left and right directions of a line are different. You have to walk up and down. If you are dragging very heavy luggage today, it is recommended to first check the destination you want to go to , then determine the route, and then walk up slowly, otherwise you will really It will be hot because the average temperature in Bangkok is above 33 degrees, which is very hot. Other young players may ask if there is a cheaper way to save money if they stay for a long time today . MRT offers multi-trip package tickets, such as Like this time, I bought it for 50 trips within a month and the price was 1,250 Thai dollars. There are a few things to note. First, you need an MRT stored value card. If you already have one, you can directly Bring the old card to the counter staff. If you don't have it, you must buy it from the counter . Foreigners must show their passport when purchasing a stored-value card. The counter will also take a photocopy of the passport and keep it. The first purchase amount is 180 baht and inform the counter staff that you It only takes a few purchases. If you are worried about the language barrier, you can just take a screenshot on your phone and show it to him. What I bought this time was mainly the blue line because most of the attractions are on the blue line. Then if it is still If you think stored-value cards are too troublesome, you can also enter the station directly if you have a Visa Master credit card today. If you are traveling with a group of people and are not afraid of traffic jams, it is really cool and convenient to use the APP to take a ride. The city provides a variety of car types to meet your budget or needs. I need experience because I have been in Bangkok for a while and I want to share it with you because I use three APP ride-hailing tools very often. The price of the first Grab means that it will pick you up relatively quickly. The most common name in Bangkok is Bolt , but sometimes I check some information before coming to Bangkok. Bolt may charge extra money or the driver quality is not good , but it doesn’t happen because Sharon, I , and I have taken the ride almost 10 times. Each time, I felt that the quality of the ride was very good. Even once, we took a ride of about 10 times. I took 153 baht and 160 Thai beads to give to the driver. He said keep the change. It’s okay to give you the change as a tip. In the end, he actually returned the 10 Thai dollars to us, mainly because we were originally going to Xinaka. I originally wanted to go in a little further to Lin Train Night Market , but because it was too crowded inside, he stopped outside first. As a result, he was very conscientious in that he refunded us a little bit of the mileage money and did not charge us the full 160 yuan. For money , he told us to drop us off a little outside the night market in advance. We walked in for about five minutes and he dropped us off at the Bolt outside first. It will have some restrictions. It can also use credit cards or cash. But when I came to Bangkok this time, I used cash most of the time. Why is it because in fact, when I am abroad, you bind a credit card to pay , so for the sake of insurance, I always pay in cash. Most of the drivers speak good English, so he picks them up. When refuting you, he will first say something that he may be on the road or where his delay is now. He will report the situation in about two or three minutes. It is super real-time because he may only earn a little taxi money , and it seems to be a bit like the boss. The same report said where I am now. Wait for me a moment. I am almost there. Wait for me at the level crossing. I think it is actually quite considerate. The third one, Muvmi , is a tuk-tuk ride-hailing APP that is relatively rare. It is very convenient. It is , for example, on a street. It has many connecting points. First, you can call a car by yourself. The whole car is all-inclusive and the cost is a little more expensive. In addition, you can also share the ride with others. Of course, tuk-tuks are cheaper by sharing , but they have a blind spot in that they are only limited to a certain area. It’s a bit like saying that I only focus on Taipei’s Xinyi District today. It seems that you ca n’t call Muvmi at all outside Taipei’s Xinyi District. Today we are going to visit Siam Paragon. You may have to go to Terminal 21 now. You can call Muvmi directly and you will have to wait for about 10 to 15 minutes. But the advantage is that it is very cheap and you can share a ride with others. If you drive, there is really a traffic jam. I think motorcycles are relatively more maneuverable. At least they won't get stuck in traffic jams . But actually, my husband has a more serious idea . I know , and his speed is very fast. Besides, he shuttles through the traffic jams. Sometimes I feel like my life is going to disappear at any time Because when I first came here, I found out that Bangkok didn’t seem to force everyone to wear helmets. On the way here, I saw two girls riding motorcycles. They were two people riding motorcycles. Neither of them wore helmets , so I I would advise you not to take a motorcycle to save your life. If an accident suddenly occurs during the journey, I tell you that you won’t be able to compensate you for tens of thousands of dollars. The entire journey may be ruined, except for your body, mind and soul. Maybe we were all traumatized. The reason why we took the ride today is because we couldn’t stop the car here, so we had no choice but to take the motorcycle. But we only found out after getting on the motorcycle that there were no safety helmets. We Taiwanese are used to wearing safety helmets. In terms of helmets, you may be a little worried about this matter , so you can consider whether the motorcycle here does not let you wear a helmet. Later in the video, I will explain to you how to register and ride. A good summary is as follows. Grab is It is an extremely efficient way to travel. If you have a very tight schedule today and are traveling with many people, and have no budget considerations, it is of course the first choice . If you want to save money today and have a more flexible schedule, I would recommend waiting patiently with the Bolt. Finally, if Do you really want to experience the local ride-hailing experience Muvmi? I believe it will not disappoint you. Well, let’s teach you how to register for Grab. Before, I entered my mobile phone number in Taiwan and registered first . Then it will be done. Receive your SMS verification code and enter your name to complete the registration process. Then select the country you want to go to. Then we choose Thailand. Then click directly on the APP to select the place you want to go to , or you can open the map to select it. After you click on the detailed transfer address or arrival location , the time of the journey and the vehicle types you can choose will be displayed . At this time, you can select a single or multiple vehicle types , and the journey will also be displayed above. After the price search is completed, it will show how long it will take for the driver to arrive , and its license plate will also be displayed on the map. You can also see how much you have to pay for this trip. But one thing to note is that it can only be used. Credit card payment is not allowed. Cash is not available. When registering Bolt in Taiwan , you can first use FB and Google to register , but you must turn off the positioning first , otherwise your APP will display blank. If you register in China, you must use a local mobile phone in Thailand. You can only register your number . The method of taking a ride is almost the same as Grab. It is recommended to call 10-20 minutes in advance because I took a very, very long time every time. But I think the advantage of Bolt is that it can pay with cash and credit card. In addition, the driver also It is very nice and will often send you messages to inform you that the current car condition is good. In addition, Muvmi must use a local Thai mobile phone number to receive the SMS verification code and then register. Then slide down some rights and obligations to confirm and you can complete the registration. Then the advantage of Muvmi is It doesn’t matter if it says it can be used for shared rides or if you want to cover the whole car today. And of course, you have to top up the value first. You can only pre-load it with a credit card , so please pay special attention to this. You have to pay with cash. After the recharge is completed, you can select the location you want to connect to and the destination of your outbound journey through the map or key in location . Pay special attention here because it is a similar concept to a zone. So you can't connect across regions . For example, you can't connect from Xinyi District to Datong District. The reason is the same. Another thing to pay special attention to is that you have to scan the QR code to confirm before getting on the bus. After you take this bus, you can get on the bus and come to Bangkok. If young players don't want to spend time buying souvenirs, is there any more efficient way? I recommend two ways. The first one is according to Go to Big C near tourist destinations for self-pickup . This time , I went directly to Big C (Ratchadamri store) after shopping at Central World to pick up the goods. I saw the self-pickup counter on the third floor of Ratchadamri store. Show your order screen to the counter staff, and they will guide you to the checkout area to pick up the goods. The second option is free delivery to the hotel on designated dates, making your journey easier and more convenient, eliminating the worry of carrying items. You can also enjoy the products you need immediately after arriving at the hotel, which saves you the time of searching for stores and allows you to devote yourself to the fun of travel faster . Use Big C's self-pickup and advance pre-order procedures first. To enter its official website with a mobile phone, there is no need to download the APP. Then enter the mobile phone number. It must be their local mobile phone number in Thailand. After receiving the verification code, the registration is completed. Then type the item you want to search in English in the search bar. Select the way you want to pick up the goods, like me this time. It is self-pickup , so I can choose the store where I want to pick it up and the payment method. After confirming that the order content is OK, I will make an appointment to determine the appropriate time and I will go and pick it up. The other way is to make an appointment in advance, which is different. You just need to enter the address of your hotel and enter the credit card information to complete the purchase.
