Chiangmai >>> Chiangrai // Day 2

Sawadeeka, back to blog about my travel diary ;)
The second day we would travel from Chiangmai to Chiangrai, the names are very close I know lol. It took three hours to reach by road, and before that Pi Yang brought us to visit some souvenir shops like, honey and paper-made products. Paper-made products were the best shop to go cause it showed us how a paper umbrella was created. Its truly hot in the factory but it's very fun to know how the process goes.

SA tree is used to make the paper for those products and this picture below is the wet version of the SA tree hhaha, I forgot they use its leaves or the wood to make the paper.. I think is wood :/ Was busying taking photos haha !

And then this lump of SA tree extracts will be mixed into water, and stir and stir and stir. After that they will use the net as shown below to filter up the SA tree extracts and let it dry under the sun. The dried layer on the net is the SA paper :) Amazing ? 

These are some products of SA paper :

Fan

Tanglung

Umbrella

 After spending a lot of money lol, cause we went a few shops and Mum spent quite a lot too hahaha, we started our journey to Chiangrai.

I was sleeping like a pig on the car until we reached the first stop, Thaweesin Natural Hot Spring.
It was drizzling there while we reach, and the weather was foggy, windy. The best time to soak your foot in hot water !

Due to the weather I feel like I was in a Europe country haha, super comfy and relax, that's why I love autumn and spring more than winter hehe. 

 Yeah and the best thing is you can drink a cup of coffee while soaking your foot hahahaha, LIKE A BOSS ! This is what life is all about, work hard and play hard.

Hahahaha and here is one idiot picture of mine ! A girl holding an umbrella and being showered by the fountain behind lmao. I found I look super short in this photo but I like it very much, I like being short sometimes :b

Oh ya and these two are my new friends haha

So after that we continued our journey to Chiangrai and I continued my journey of sleeping :b

And I woke up again while we reached Wat Rong Khun, or also called as White Temple. 

Very unlucky the weather was still raining, I was quite upset cause I cannot take good pictures since it's raining. And how could you look good in a photo if you were holding an umbrella ? No choice I have to accept it still. White temple is a place like heaven, you will say "wow" you first see it, and you will say "wtf" while you enter its washrooms hahaha. 

The designer himself called this place as heaven, the whole idea is about a good person will go to heaven and bad person will go to hell. So I could see the main part of the temple is the heaven and around the staircase to heaven ( It's actually the staircase to go into the temple ), there are some issues of hell, like ghosts, evils etc. I didnt take photos of the staircase cause we were not able to enter the temple, saddest thing ever ! We could only see those evil thingy at far far away. If I were to describe the design of the whole temple I will say it's perfect, and the designer is truly insane. He must be a mad person cause I dont know how would he come up with all these ideas.

Pictures above show the some evillll parts of the temple, I personally feel these are very cool, but my mum described them as very geli hhaha !

Okay, the first time you see this golden building, what will you think it is ? Guess please ! Haha.

The answer is TOILET !!!

As I mentioned earlier, you will say "wtf" when you see its toilet. And this golden building is the toilet. I think the designer must be thinking, hmmm toilet in heaven must be very grand ahaha, so he used gold to build a toilet beside the white temple.

I didnt know its a toilet until Pi Yang told us it is. Non stop saying wow and laughing while I enter the toilet because it is way too exaggerate lol. 

And you even have to change a pair of slippers that they prepared before you enter the toilet, so that you wouldnt dirty it haha, cool huh ? 

So how can you not take photo with such awesome toilet ?

A very very very lucky day, the designer of the temple was there lol, my dad will never let this kind of best luck wasted, so he grab me to take photo with this man. This man is really a great person, he designed this White Temple all by himself, paid all the costs to build this temple, and never ask for any returns. One thousand likes for you man !

Breathtaking view of White Temple, the best part of Chiangrai, yes it's all saved in my brain now. Say cheese, chichak ! The cute family of mine smiled to the fullest @ Wat Rong Khun, Chiangrai Thailand // 12 September 2014. 

After visiting White Temple, we headed to our hotel and checked in and rested for awhile... and then had our dinner.. and then Pi Yang brought us to a night market, the only one night market in Chiangrai haha ! He recommended us a very famous dumpling in Chiangrai.

Yes this is it ! The aunty is the owner of the tangyuan stall, I feel this aunty's face very cool and looks like a cartoon so I secretly took her photo hahaah. The photo on the right is ice cream tangyuan. First time I see this kind of flavour haha, ice cream tangyuan lol. very special actually, but I prefer the original taste of tangyuan. The whole night we ended up shopping eating drinking and then back to hotel to ooi ooi. 

And that's all for the second day in Chiangrai, Thailand :)

Chiangmai, Thailand // Day 1

hello there! Sawadeeka ;) I just came back from a vacation, a trip to Chiangmai and Chiangrai, Northern Thailand. It was a fun trip haha, it's a group of 8 persons including me, I found it is better that you join a small group instead of a group of 30+ people. A small group of people will be easier to communicate with haha, and I enjoyed this very much cause six out of eight of us are my friends lol. So I feel more comfortable and relax, since I know everybody hehe. Alright.. let's talk something about Day 1 >>>

Day 1 , 11 Sept 2014

The flight was at 2.45 p.m. in the afternoon, for the first time I took a flight in afternoon. Normally would be midnight, or early in the morning and this kind of timing makes me cant sleep well. So this afternoon flight was damn good cause I woke only at 9 a.m. :b A well slept day is a good day.
Reached KLIA 2 at 12 p.m., and after checking in luggage and stuffs, we went on board on 3p.m., p/s the flight was slightly delayed. Touched down Chiangmai at 5.30 p.m. ( Malaysia time), ya and it's 4.30 p.m. at Thailand. And then... a guy welcomed us haha, his name is Pi Yang, our tourguide. "Pi" in Thailand means Mr. / Mrs. / Ms. hhahha so my dad got a new name called as Pi Lim lol. After that we checked in our first hotel and left our luggage in our room and went for dinner.

This the place we have our first meal in Thailand. It's a traditional Thailand meal actually, only kings will eat it in the past lol, behave like a king or queen while having it hhaha.

The left hand side one is the dish, six dishes in a dish ! The fried chicken was finger lickin' good ahhh, and the right one is fried banana, heavenly tasty !!! Will never forgot the taste :)

After dinner we went back to our hotel, of course not to sleep haha, there is a night market in front of our hotel so its the time for shopping ngek ngek ngek. How can you not behave like a shopaholic when you are in the shopping heaven Thailand ? I think I inherited my mum's talent in shopping cause two of us were totally shopping mode on the whole night. Girls were shopping so what was my dad doing ? No worries, he will always find his own entertainment while he was waiting for Mum and I hehe.

He was so happy with his huge coconut and grab me to help him to take photo lol, dad why you're so cute ! And before that he actually bought the smoothie ( right ) but he only sipped a lil then gave it to me and went to buy the huge coconut hahaha. btw the smoothie on the right, apple mixed with kiwi, thumb up for it. It tasted so good, not too sweet and very smooth, yichiban !

That's all for the first day in Chiangmai, Thailand.

Have a nice day !

concert x food

Time flies, it's thursday. Throwback to last saturday leehom's concert, an awesome night ! Indelible memorable unforgettable ! Leehom's voice is way too charming, you will definitely melt while you hear his singing live. The only imperfectness was the drizzle, but it didnt wash away my excitement. Really hate to wear the raincoat, and it cost me rm10 :/ and yet I still got wet. But its okay, it's still a wonderful night. 

Tadaaa, I know the stage is so far away lol, but .. It's okay, I am satisfied hehe, at least I could hear his voice clear. There were moments that I nearly tear, especially while "Kiss Goodye" was performed, *melting*. Leehom, thank you for the enjoyable night :) 

 

Before the concert, wanting T brought MW and I to have lunch at Sunway Pyramid. We had hard time on choosing which reataurant to go haha ! And at last we ended up having lunch at Johnny Rockets, burrrrp ! The burger is *thumb up* *thumb up* *thumb up* ! 

Huge burger hehe, I could see the juices flow out while I slice the chicken patty, hahaha no bluffing ! 

Vanilla milkshake. 

Quite nice, but a lil too sweet. 

And then.. After concert Ong Ong drove us to Sg Long to send Queen Michy home :b 

Supper : Roti Canai 

I know, fatness overloads. After supper we headed back to Ong's house and we went through a long and funny night haha ! On bed time : 5 a.m. #yolo

The second day we went to try Boat Noodle. I like its creativity but I will never go back to the shop again lol. Why ? Cause I will need ten bowls of noodle to feel full :b 

The quantity is this small, thats why I need ten hahaha. But its worth a try lah. 

See ? Cant even see Eugene's face after we stacked all the bowls. Hehe. And I think the shop will need 100000 bowls to stand by lol. 

Went to watch a movie afterwards, 'The Gathering'. What a funny movie hahaha, it reminds me of those sweet memories in my sec school. Those people that you will never forget. 

New favourite song, 還是會想你。
