This time I traveled to Phuket, I regretted not doing some planning in advance! A lot of wasted money was spent!

This time I went to Phuket for a free trip, and I regretted not making a guide in advance! A lot of wasted money was spent!
.
✈️【Prepare in advance】
1. Air tickets: It is cheaper to book air tickets from Shanghai to Phuket one month in advance to avoid popular holidays. The minimum one-way is about 750
2 . Hotel: Book 1 month in advance, use booking or Ctrip, compare prices back and forth with 2 apps
3. Visa: Now visa-free, you only need to prepare 1W baht in cash + passport + hotel reservation form to enter the country
4. Cash: Make an appointment in advance with ICBC or China Merchants APP, exchange for 1W Thai Baht/person
5. One-day island tour: It is recommended to book one week in advance, temporary reservation may not be available
6. Recommendations for outlying islands: Similan＞Lipe Island＞Emperor Island＞Phi Phi Island＞Other islands
7. If you can go to Similan, you must go. It is only open for 5 months every year. The sea water is really amazing
8. Must-have luggage : Telephone card (AIS signal is good), electric mosquito repellent (there are mosquitoes in the hotel), slippers (foot massager bought locally), antidiarrheal medicine (easy to have diarrhea)
