Chiangmai, Thailand // Day 4 : Part 2



Hello everyone, I know it's been a while. My previous post was about Chiangmai Day 4 Part 1 and I stopped halfway. Planned to post about Part 2 two days after the post but then, very unlucky I fall sick on the first week of school haha. Yah and it's the third week of Sem 1, time really flies huh. Fall sick on the third day after school reopened and sick for the whole week afterwards. What happened was I had dengue fever, as I wished lol. long story .. Well, let's get back to the topic, part 2 of Chiangmai Day 4. Hope I still remember the details haha.

Chiangmai, Thailand Day 4, Part 2 


The previous post I stopped at .. Elephant Park right ? 
So now I'll continue with the place we visited right after leaving Elephant Park, that's Orchid Farm.
Hmm.. what I could say about the orchid farm is .. It's very very common and nothing special haha. 
But I had fun on taking photos of orchids btw. 

 
The species of the orchids over there were very normal as I said, and many of them are in purple tone .. that's boring tho. 


Here's a Daddy's masterpiece, haha his first try on DSLR. Trying to act like a pro, my dad being himself haha. But this butterfly looking pretty good, it's undeniable that he's quite pro lah :b 
Oh ya about this butterfly garden inside the orchid farm, I dont like butterflies, and I think I am a bit scare of it .. So nothing attracts me *the butterflies were super terrifying tho, flying everywhere.
I walked into the garden and browse around and ran out through the exit hahhaah, that's me. 



Yes yes, so after that we went to Long Neck Karen Village, a must go place in Chiangmai. You'll see the unique people here exp : long neck girl. 


Spot her teeth.. dont feel confused, the black colour "stone-like" teeth are still usable lol. I have no idea how her teeth will turn out to be like this .. 


This girl represents another minorities in Thailand.. They came from Vietnam ? or other places .. I cant rmb haha, but their job is to wear the special costumes and sit there to sell those handicrafts. Whenever you took photos of them, they will ask you to at least buy something at their stalls, like pay for the photos you taken. Of course I didnt buy something at every stall, sorry for that haha. 


Tadaaaa.. this is the most famous long neck girl haha, dont you feel she looks familiar ? Perhaps you've seen her before on tv. She is quite well known cause she has the longest neck.. omg this sounds weird lmao. Longest neck, but as you see, her neck is really really really LONG. Kinda pity them cause the "necklace" is very heavy, I tried wearing a fake one and I couldnt even bear the weight for more than five minutes. Imagine they have to wear it twenty four seven.. 


Nahh.. I became one of the long necks too haha, the feeling of wearing it was " WTF faster take photo I want to take it out " ! I couldnt see my toes while wearing it loh, cannot turn you head also, one word to describe it - Suffering. 



And Dad found this girl looks very cute and grabbed her to take photos, mehhh that should be me at the centre loh ! Looking so good under the "atap". Then Mummy bought some key chains at this lil girl's stall.. I should have bought all the souvenirs here, so that I could help them out.. But unfortunately I bought everything I wanted the night before, cannot afford to buy more :( 


Hahaha this was the funny part of the day cause Mummy grabbed my Pocky and gave it to them.. My pocky.....



Alright, this was the main point of the day, Royal Flora Ratchaphruek, haha weird name, but it's a very very beautiful place. You'll need one whole day to finish viewing the whole garden. It's like flower expo, each country will design their own garden and also exhibits their country's flowers. 


You can board this lil train*choo choo* to view around the garden, and you can stop at any gardens you like .. and walk around.. take photos. and then board the train again.. wonderful time while you sitting on the train but you must stop somewhere, because you can never see the awesomeness if you only sit on the train and look from the train, narrow view and not worth the visit. 


Gotcha ! exactly the right feeling ! This type of buildings .. argh too adorable ! I dont know which country is it from, I guess should be.. England ? or New Zealand ?


Ahahaa and this is obviously from China, the strongest country lol.


And if I am not mistaken, this is from Rome ? Haha you can actually walk into that flower hole :b 
Then we chose to got down at Thailand's garden, cause it's the most beautiful one among all. 



Very "thai- ish " building hoho.



And what happened next was, the space was too empty and broad, we could bear with the emptiness, jumping shots were a must ! ahahhaha
So we started to jump here jump there haha, no matter you are young or old fat or thin, just jump lol. 

ONE



TWO


THREE

FOUR
Kacak ! YOLO memories - checked. 
Amazing huh, even all the aunties also joined the jumping session teehee. You only live once ma !


Ngek hehe and the photo as shown above : Daddy and I were discussing about how to jump lmao. 
"Your leg must fold upward while you jump. " 


The eight of us, thanks for the companion in these five days !


Does this building looks familiar ? Familiar right..? I am not sure if I'm right.. but I guess it's Malaysia's garden lol. 


It's almost the ending of the trip, sad :( But I had a lot of fun, with family, with friends, with aunties :b Daddy Mummy thanks for paying for all the costs of the trip ahhaa. I know you two purposely planned this trip for me since I'm not following you to Italy, fyi this trip was planned because they were worried that I might feel sad for not going Italy, sweet parents <3 

And Day 5 of course we headed back to Msia, with memories and with joys. 
Looking forward to my next vacation, and hope you enjoyed reading my travel diary :) 



Love,
Betty.
