We kept it mid-range—meals averaged 15–30 RMB. Add more for ticketed attractions (temples, cabarets, gun shooting, etc.).* 🌟 Highlights & Impressions Vibe: Thailand felt effortlessly chill—no rush, just good energy. Value: Affordable luxuries (hello, 50 RMB massages!). Safety: Zero issues, but always use common sense (avoid sketchy areas). Crowds: Skipped major sights like Grand Palace? No regrets—blissfully uncrowded! Cleanliness: Smoke-free public spaces (!!) and fragrant bathrooms everywhere. People: Locals were warm, hotels/hostels exceeded expectations. P.S. Already planning my next trip—6 days wasn’t enough! 💡 Tips for Solo Travelers First-timers: Consider bringing a buddy if you’re nervous, but Thailand is solo-friendly. Communication: English + Google Translate work fine. Must-Try: 7-Eleven’s kombucha + pomegranate VC juice (pour over ice!). Thai iced tea—equally epic from street stalls or 7/11. Health: We had no stomach issues; just drink bottled water. ⚠️ Critical Notes Customs: No photos at immigration! Insurance: Buy travel insurance (e.g., Alipay’s overseas coverage). Sun Protection: Reef-safe sunscreen is a must (I turned into a lobster at the beach 🦞). Vlog Alert! Watch my trip highlights [link] for visuals. Q&A?
