Thailand Bangkok, Pattaya Group Tour Overview
Thailand has summer all year round, November to March of the following year is considered the cool season, which for us is the difference between really hot and deadly hot, try not to go during the rainy season. Sunglasses, sun hats, SPF50 are essential, the cool season rarely rains, bringing them is almost useless, you decide. Many things can be bought at 7-11 in Bangkok. Mosquito repellent, sunscreen are even cheaper. Remember in Thailand only drink bottled water 7B per bottle, remember to replenish at any time, don't count on hotel WiFi, if you have China Unicom 4G mode you can buy a happy card) available at 7-11, otherwise you can only rent portable WiFi for multiple people. Some can be picked up at the airport. Thailand border inspection requires carrying no less than 4000 RMB in cash per person, if checked and found insufficient you will be sent back to the country. Exchange 2000B per person at Bank of China domestically is enough for expenses, for small purchases. Everything else use credit cards for the best exchange rate. Group tour food and accommodation definitely can't compare with independent travel, but it's convenient with optional paid activities, you decide.
Reportedly it will not be open to the public from April and will be used for state guests
Chao Phraya River
Bangkok Grand Palace
Bangkok Grand PalaceAfter the old king passed away last year, there are dress requirements for entering the Grand Palace, otherwise you have to rent clothes which is troublesome. Tops must have sleeves, no exposed back, pants must be full length, skirts must be below the knees, no sandals, preferably all black, but I also saw a few other colors.
Bangkok Grand PalaceWhen you get to Wat Phra Kaew, it's best to enter the main hall to worship, here it should be mentioned that Thailand is over 95% Buddhist with over 30,000 temples nationwide, many tourist attractions require removing shoes, don't wear too expensive ones, if they get damaged it's heartbreaking, but I haven't encountered lost shoes.

Another so-called luxury buffet really speechless, don't mind the taste, at least you can get full
