Chiang Mai Trip

Chiang Mai Trip
YOZ, sawatika everyone...juz got back from chiang mai last week...hardly have any time to blog and do stuff...with the PSP madness going on and the looking for jobs and prom night and all...so hardly got much time to sit down and recollect lor...lol...

Anyway, 1st time took a Tiger Airways flight lor in other words a BUDGET AIRLINE...haha also went to the BUDGET terminal...kinda empty compared to the 2 terminals at the airport...BUT...it is not bad as compared to other terminals in other countries...so kinda not bad lor...oh ya and the A320...is so small and cramped lor....super boring lah..was in the end listening to iPod and reading the in-flight magazine lor..sounds boring right??...haha...lol...it was...

When landed at Chiang Mai, it wasnt as cooling as I expected even at night...i would classified it as cooling...though my sis beg to differ....think that even Genting is much colder lor...ahaha...the hotel that we had was rather..erm....B&B...if u want to put it, it is rather small with no security and all but they make up for it with their very personalised service and stuff. The host was very nice lor and btw the hotel is run by a couple..an Ang Moh and a thai wife..and the thai wife,pepe, is very good at cooking lor...super zai sia...everything on the Menu is she prepare de lor...lol..ok coz the menu is not much to begin with but her food is great!!!


Also, went to Chiang Mai always eat japanese food lor...lol...but although its way in the northern region of thailand but boy is their sashimi great sia!! Oishii nei!!...Haha...thats like so weird lor...LOL...Also there was the Royal Flora at Chiang Mai where all the different flowers and the world's best horticulturlist are gathered together to put on a flower display for the King's 60th anniversary on the throne . Pity that they will tear it all down after the whole exhibition have ended...so the above photo shows one of the exhibit at the exhibition...and boy I tell u the place is freaking BIG sia....took us almost the whole day to walk around lor...

Another interesting thing was that we were all stateless for about an hour too...we were on the mekong river and that river separates myanmar,laos and thailand. We even cross over to the Laos side, wah kao I was mighty afraid that some communist soldiers will jump out and detain us...then we will all become communist....wad an abominable thought sia!!!

Also, the driver that drove us around that day was.....damn ZAI sia.....one hand driving at 120 km/h and that it was in a moutain pass in pitch darkness....wah kao....cool lor...even better than those ppl driving along the NS highway in Malaysia at night...

Other than that was mostly shopping and my sis and dad learning how to cook thai food...wont go into that detailed...but the food turned out great!...haha..then we also saw a thai love story while shopping...haha and my sis took the couple down lor...haha actually it was a boy holding a banquet of flowers waiting for the gal outside her school...if i not wrong he waited for abput 30 minutes lor...wah...patience sia!!!...eventually pass the flowers to the gal and she even has a 3 man...ok gals...escort her somemore...haha and she was rather shy lor...reminds me a bit like joyce..haha and my sis record the entire thing down...bet they realised that they were being filmed...now u know we can never be PI lor...

We also visit the tribes in the hills and that the people there were living as if that modernisation has no effect on them and that they still uses primitive methods such as drawing water using bamboo pipelines...and they government gave them the land so that we as tourists will be able to visit them in their own 'natural' habitat....machiam as if we go see some animals in the zoo or smthg lor...feel extremely weird....and my sis went absolutely gaga over a young cute girl...and the unusual thing is that the girl never smile..its juz smthg with her eyes...as if her eyes are able to tell a story like that....

Well...overall, thats what we did in chiang mai lor...a bit the rush if u ask me...but not bad lor...haha at least able to get away from singapore and be somewhere else to relax and think lor...haha...wah i think i next time every year muz go on a holiday with my frenz or family if i can managed lor...i think its really good for the health..haha
