The first coming to China was the real Culture Shock. 😂🇨🇳🇹🇭

What no one told me before I first came to China. 🇨🇳😳

China is not difficult to travel... but there are many things that Thai people may be confused at first.

Especially pay, queues, language, toilets, food and travel.

When actually came to know that

"Prepare the app = survive."

"Have a name, Chinese address = Life is easier."

"Put on comfortable shoes = save lives."

"There's a tissue on the bag = Very important!" 😂

Who's coming to China for the first time? Save this post.

And if ever, let's share what makes Culture Shock the best?

... Read moreการมาเที่ยวหรือพักอาศัยที่จีนครั้งแรกถือเป็นประสบการณ์ที่น่าตื่นเต้นและท้าทายอย่างมาก โดยหลายคนอาจเจอ Culture Shock กับการใช้ชีวิตประจำวันที่แตกต่างจากไทยไม่น้อย ตั้งแต่การจ่ายเงินที่ส่วนใหญ่ใช้มือถืออย่าง Alipay หรือ WeChat Pay แทนเงินสด ทำให้ถ้าไม่มีแอปฯ เหล่านี้อาจลำบากมากทีเดียว นอกจากนี้ การต่อคิวในจีนอาจดูแปลกตาและมีความเกรงใจที่ต่างออกไป บางครั้งการแทรกคิวก็เกิดขึ้นได้ แต่โดยรวมหลายคนจะรู้สึกว่าการจ่ายเงินและต่อคิวนั้นสะดวกรวดเร็วเพราะระบบและเทคโนโลยีที่รองรับ ในส่วนของภาษา การสื่อสารในจีนโดยเฉพาะในเมืองใหญ่ที่นักท่องเที่ยวเยอะ อย่างปักกิ่งหรือต้าหลี่ อาจมีป้ายเมนูและข้อมูลภาษาอังกฤษช่วยเหลือบ้างแต่ส่วนใหญ่ยังเป็นภาษาจีน การมีแอปแปลภาษาและเตรียมชื่อและที่อยู่เป็นภาษาจีนจะช่วยชีวิตได้จริง ๆ เรื่องอาหารก็มีรสชาติที่แตกต่าง เช่น รสจัด เผ็ดหวาน และบางเมนูอาจไม่คุ้นกับคนไทยมากนัก การลองชิมและเปิดใจรับรสใหม่ ๆ เป็นส่วนหนึ่งของประสบการณ์ที่สนุก และอย่าลืมเตรียมทิชชู่เปียกหรือทิชชู่แห้งไว้ติดตัว เพราะในห้องน้ำสาธารณะบางแห่งอาจไม่มีบริการให้สะดวก การเดินทางในจีนสะดวกสบายแต่ก็ควรเผื่อเวลา รถไฟฟ้าหรือรถไฟความเร็วสูงครอบคลุมหลายพื้นที่ แต่รถติดในบางเมืองก็มีบ่อย รวมถึงควรมีแบตสำรองสำหรับโทรศัพท์และอินเทอร์เน็ตเพื่อใช้งานแอปสำคัญต่าง ๆ ประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวที่แนะนำคือการเตรียมตัวอย่างละเอียด ตั้งแต่โหลดแอปที่จำเป็น ศึกษารายละเอียดสถานที่ หรือแม้กระทั่งนำรองเท้าสบาย ๆ ไปด้วย จะช่วยให้การเดินทางและการใช้ชีวิตในประเทศจีนครั้งแรกนั้นราบรื่นและน่าประทับใจมากขึ้น ท้ายที่สุด ถึงแม้จะมี Culture Shock หลายเรื่องแต่การเปิดใจเรียนรู้ รับมือกับความแตกต่าง จะทำให้ทริปหรือชีวิตในจีนเป็นประสบการณ์ใหม่ที่ยิ่งใหญ่มาก ๆ ที่ไม่อาจลืมได้
