Exchange Children's Life in China # T1🇨🇳🇹🇭

This visit to China happened very quickly! Originally, we were going to Taiwan according to the teacher's project, but finally, because there were not enough people, so we had to change the plan to China instead. 🌏

👩🏻, because the project was the last one, there was only a month to submit the documents. Fortunately, we used to request some exchange papers, so it took us about 3-4 weeks to file.

1. Submit an application. 💻

This step takes not long, because most of us have personal information, but some people have to wait for documents from Moo. There are student certificates, grades (but we have requested before) and study plans. Importantly, we have to have the Statement of our parents submitted with us (since we pay 100% ourselves), so we have to have it attached.

2. Polite check, criminal records 🩻.

We check at Nakhon Pink Hospital, Chiang Mai Province (Anyone in Chiang Mai has a plan to go to China, do not have to print the form). We pay a polite check fee of about 1600-1700 baht and a criminal record check (we have the documents). We usually have to ask for the National Police Registry in Bangkok only. If you ask to be a child, you have to take the documents by yourself, you can not send postage or mail. Mail will be issued in Thai only! And urgent cases, but we're good because we only sign the paperwork and file the college (so we don't know the procedure for asking for this part).

3. Visa request 📄

This is the longest waiting step because we have the documents 1-2 days before China Day. And it is known that China Day stops 1-8 and the 9th. We have the exam, so we have the visa. On October 10, which we flew October 28. 🥹 It was the last chance that we said that we were very successful. When we filed, we quickly submitted, but the elder informed us that it was equally documented, so we advised us to be normal because it was cheaper, but it was just in time because we waited only 6-7 days. We lost our visa about 1600 baht.

* * To apply for a visa (in Chiang Mai), you must reserve a queue on the web before you can apply for the paperwork. Our paperwork is recommended to take everything, the acceptance application and every copy will be very fast * *

4. Book the machine and pack your luggage, exchange money 💴

✈️, our plane ticket booked almost a month in advance, was priced at 6,600 baht, including a round-trip bag weight of 20 kg, 7 kg of carryon (even when we came to China, 2300 too much).

💴 to exchange money, we recommend at Superrich, rated better than anywhere else in BMA (in Chiang Mai, we are not sure), but heard from friends that Chiang Mai is much more expensive.

Personally, we don't exchange a lot of money. Just 1,000 yuan. Because China is a 100% money-free society (but if we use cash, it's fine. But when we withdraw money, if he doesn't have to transfer it back in V-chat instead), the cafeteria in Moo will not accept cash at all!! Because a lot of people can't withdraw money in time.

Another thing I would like to recommend is that I would like to tie my Bank Visa card (rated as well) into V-Chat before. There is a way to teach you how to find it!! I would like to live 100% easy to spend on V-Chat and I would like to forbid tying to Truemanny because paying Truemanny requires an OTP to be inserted every time. Because we live for a long time, we may use this SIM and take off the Thai SIM or the SMS contract very slowly to waste time.

🍲 food, we recommend to carry a little garnish each time. Mama only carries Thai stuff, enough to have Korean stuff and much cheaper than our home too. This place is salty and it. Anyone who likes any taste can carry it, but this dessert is delicious in everything (paradise of fat children).

🌨️ weather for anyone who said to check the weather on the web before (like us) can say that it is wrong to check on the web for the same month. 10 months, the weather is 15-20 degrees (which the northern child like us is ok). But when we arrive on the first day, 15 true. But after that day is hell. The next week is the only number. It rains all day and the weather drops to 2-3 degrees. On the day of strong winds, the feeling is -1, so Thai children like us have a cold because they can't adapt. 🤒

💊 for medicine, we recommend who is sick often like we carry it. Basic medicine that when sick must be taken to carry it. Because it is known what Chinese medicine is like (read a lot 🤣). For me, I think it is very sick. When I arrive, the weather changes it often. The medicine is easy to take is not enough. Therefore, anyone who is sick easily recommends to carry it before carrying it. If anything, then there is no medicine, go to this doctor, have to pay for 200-250 yuan to get 50% of the health insurance money that is returned (for our university), so I think it is not better 🤣 💉. Another recommended drug is Counterpain. This is a minimum of 10,000 to 20,000 steps. 🥲

The story may not be all yet, but it's a very important part of being abroad without knowing. There's something to update. 🙏🏻☺️คุนหมิง จีน@
