Because this information has been retweeted several times on Weibo, the reporter did not find the first netizen who posted it. In addition, there are different versions of this story, including departures from Hangzhou, etc. By calculation, regarding the effectiveness of 4C diamond breast enhancement, excluding fuel and other taxes, the cost of just the airfare for this trip would be at least over 3600 yuan. On January 20th, the lowest direct flight price from Beijing to Kunming was 1681 yuan.
If one really departs from Beijing to Kunming but fails to purchase a direct flight or train ticket, is detouring through Bangkok reliable?
The reporter learned from the Shanghai media that reported this event that the story came from a Beijing netizen named "Bubu Xu."
By transferring in Bangkok to return to Kunming, the story spread widely online, and the reporter compared the costs and found —— according to reports (by reporter Yuan Wen), during the Spring Festival travel rush, bypassing Bangkok to return home costs less than a direct flight ticket. This story was quickly forwarded online recently. The reporter's investigation found that the story does not have a real "main character," and industry insiders also pointed out that the cost of bypassing Bangkok from Beijing is much higher than the price of a direct flight ticket, and processing a Thai visa requires both cost and time.
The story mentioned two segments, on January 19th and 20th. The reporter found that on January 19th, flights from Beijing to Bangkok had a minimum ticket price of 2210 yuan, requiring a transfer in Hong Kong. On January 20th, flights from Bangkok to Kunming had a minimum ticket price of 1400 yuan.
Subsequently, the reporter discovered this information in "Bubu Xu's" Weibo, but the departure point mentioned in the information was Shenzhen, and it was noted as "retweet."
Yesterday, a Shanghai media reported that due to the difficulty of obtaining tickets during the Spring Festival travel rush, in order to return to Kunming, a white-collar worker in Beijing actually first "detoured" through Bangkok, then transferred back home, with the total cost being equal to a direct flight.
● Cost Calculation
The reporter consulted staff at Capital Airport and learned that Thai visas are divided into various types such as tourism and business, and passengers need to prepare materials in advance. Even if choosing a travel agency to handle it, the waiting time is over a week, and currently, Thailand's visa fee exemption policy has been canceled, so passengers still need to pay more than 200 yuan themselves.
