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. 

Chiangmai, Thailand // Day 4

Hello there, travel diary again !
Day 4 was the funniest and the most enjoyable day among the five days. I planned to split day 4's diary into two, cause it'll be damn long if I write all in one. I wish to write all detail parts haha.
The first stop of Day 4 was Elephant Park in Chiangmai.

 There were 80+ elephants in there. One thing I must mention is I used half of the memory card to capture elephant hahaha. Cause they are way too cute ;b

hey hey my jumbo haha. Sometimes I feel they are very pity actually, cause they seem lost their freedom.. 

Thank you for entertaining us :) I know you all must be tired. Thank you. 

Daddy bought a lot of bananas to feed them tho. 

This is my man, always being so kind, my forever hero !

Hahaha, dad can you be any cuter than this ? Notice the photo on the left.

I am such a talented photographer, haha joking only kay. 

Dad was frightened by the cutie pie on his left, he suddenly shouted *I mean the elephant* and then Dad's frightened face was captured by me. lol. 

The most epic emotion of the year. 

Oh ya, if you feed the elephant with food he will help you to put on the hat. 

Very polite oh haha. 

Nah, this was me. I could hardly smile loh actually, I was very scare lmao. 

I jinjia scare the elephant behind me would grab my hair or what, expecting as his lunch. 

And here it is my cute family and this cutie pie, the great poser, Mr. Elephant hahaha . 

And then my dad and I went to see elephants showering by the riverside. 

The most terrible moment was the elephant was so near to you and you dare not to run. 

I know they wont hurt me but I just feel scare, they are too huge lol. 

Hello ? Anybody wants a free shower ? 

haha.

Guess what is this ? Hehehehehheehe. 

Apparently this elephant above, was trying to steal the man's bananas. haha. 

I think they feel hungry all the time. Pi Yang said they need three to four tonnes of food per day. 

3000-4000 kg, okay ? okay. 

So I dont think so their big boss will have so many food to feed them, thats why they always seem hungry and always begging for food :/ 

Anyhow I still they are very pity, for not able to get enough food and good treatments from their master. 

I saw some elephants being hit by their master, and that's unbearable. Hello, the elephant work for you, help you to earn money and being so faithful, cant you treat them nicely ?

Urgh. I cant do anything, what I can do is buy them bananas. 

see how clever they are ? He was saying thank you to the man who gave him bananas. 

A big applause for all the elephants, you all are very talented. 

Can see it via your drawings. 

Thumbs up ! 

After the elephant show, we had a ride on oxcart.

Again, I have to say sorry to the cows, cause I could feel how pain they are while pulling the cart. 

But it's a terrifying experience, I thought I was going to fall from the cart while it's moving lol.

Super shaky and dangerous actually.

I just feel pain for them, the stick on their back pulling the whole cart plus five adults.

Imagine how heavy it is the load on their back.

This will be the first and also the last in my life. 

Why I still could look at the camera and smile haha, the cows were non stop moving actually

maybe they were very impatient haha.

After this oxcart ride, we had another ride, elephant ride.

Aih, I have to apologize again, sorry dear elephants.

I didnt mean to hurt you, I promise I wont sit on your back make you suffer anymore. 

I only managed to take photos of this man in front of me lol

It's too shaky while I was on the elephant's back.

This man very bad :/

He used a stick to hit the elephant if they didnt follow his instructions.

argh, it hurts while I saw him hitting the elephant :(

This was the only picture I took while the elephant crossed the river

I dared not to on my camera to take photos, I was afraid that it might commit suicide and jump into the river hahaha.

FYI the sun was super bright and my skin was like burning while I was having this elephant ride.

Haha yah so this was the elephant ride experience I had in Elephant Park Chiangmai. 

And the last activity we had in this elephant park was river ride hahaa. The third ride of the day. 

We ride on a raft and follow the river flow. 

Hhaha yes I am Betty the sailor girl ! just kiddin lol. 

it was fun standing on the raft instead of sitting. 

Feel the breeze crawl off your cheek .. 

:)

And this handsome guy is my Hero and this gorgeous lady is my Queen. 

I asked them to look to the other side instead of looking at the camera. haha

Two epic posers, my parents hahahha. 

Another shot of the epic posers lol.

Mum was holding the latte haha, cafe waiting love meh ?

Alah seriously laugh till my jaw drops ah.

Trying to act cool lmao

That's all for part 1 of Day 4.

To be continued.

Betty.
