Travel Notes
1, Banna air tickets are in short supply, need to be booked in advance; 2, in order to prevent mosquitoes and strong sunlight, need to prepare mosquito repellent and sunscreen supplies; 3, visit to respect the living habits of the Dai and other ethnic minorities; 4, Banna area jewelry and jade more, need to be careful when buying and selling; 5, to travel to the border areas of Myanmar and other special attention must be paid to safety and health. 6, must not believe the cab driver, they will take you to a variety of "underground casino", sometimes, you have to call the guide to get out of trouble, before the guide arrives, perhaps you have "consumed" a lot of money. 7, the team meal is a last resort food, tour guides and drivers often do not eat this meal, it is recommended to cancel the travel agency to provide meals, their own to go outside and eat it. If your guide is responsible, then you will eat well and cheap. 8, bad habits do not bring out, go to the supermarket to steal, or just put the supermarket things into the mouth, is a very bad habit. This will make your guide very embarrassed. He will later publicize everywhere in your province are thieves. Don't think that the guide is a lady, it makes you look like a fool and they will think you have nothing but money. Of course, if you don't mind, it's hard for others to change you. 10, in fact, the travel agency route is not the best, just the most economical. In these routes, clothing, food, housing and transportation are all available. If you are a demanding person, do not join a travel agency; if you are an ordinary person, do not leave the travel agency. 11. Most of the time, the city is safe, even at night, and there is nothing to fear. The scary thing is the people, you pay attention to listen to the local language, do not speak the local language is best not to believe. Those who come to Xishuangbanna to survive the pressure of survival of outsiders is very heavy, you can understand why they do whatever it takes to "earn" money? 12, eat barbecue must find the Dai eat, Dai is easy to distinguish, you listen to them talk, or see them wearing clothes can know. Han's barbecue will often make you upset, and then spoil the reputation of the whole Xishuangbanna barbecue industry. 13, sleep honestly at night, unplug the phone line and go to sleep, maybe they will come knocking on your door, you for your own body, for the family's body, but also for your wallet. It is best to refuse. 14, the guide does not explain to replace her (him), politely tell the travel agency, we need a knowledgeable, cheerful and generous guide.
