Travel through China without a visa with an arrival in Guangzhou and then a trip by high-speed train to Shenzhen and to Hong Kong across the border on foot, and from there a flight to Phuket. My journey with a transit visa at the airport upon arrival for 144 hours.
Flying on a China Southern flight. Arrive in Guangzhou, fill out documents and receive a 144-hour transit visa to China. A transit visa for 24 hours was not suitable for me because... planned to stay in China longer.
I ran into a rogue taxi driver who didn’t turn on the meter and tried to deceive me for a considerable sum, although in the end I paid him twice as much as a regular trip costs.
In Guangzhou I stayed at the Ocean Hotel, which I bought for rubles. It is conveniently located near two metro lines and you can quickly reach all the attractions and all the markets.
After that I had a trip on a high-speed train, crossing the border with Hong Kong on foot.
In Hong Kong, I visited all the main places and climbed Victoria Peak. Aeroflot now flies direct flights to Hong Kong on the A330. I flew to Thailand on the low-cost airline HongKong Express. Celebrated the New Year in Phuket.
In Phuket, in Laguna, I went to a concert of the band Spleen (Alexander Vasiliev). Further in the video, I flew with Thai LionAir to Bangkok, where I went to DonDonki, and also received tax free in Thailand.
I showed the cost of the ticket in the video and through which application I bought it. I used both payment in rubles through a Russian card, for example: MTS Travel or OneTwoTrip, and foreign services: trip.com, booking.
