Klong Lat Mayom Floating market
2020年1月19日, タイ ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
We had a wonderful morning of relaxing with a late pick up at 10:30 for the floating market. Our driver was named kittichat but he asked we call him Boat, which was a good chuckle because he was going to be out boat tour guide. After 30 minute drive we arrived at the market and boarded our paddle boat. Quite happy to be on this type of boat because as we were waiting, a long boat steamed by at high speed into the market for another tour company. Not sure how you get a good tour at high speed 😳. Another advantage of the slower boat was that were got to go through a lotus field which was truly just breath taking!
We were taken through narrow water ways, seen how some of the locals lived and even were fortunate enough to see a water lizard!
Once our tour was complete on the water we entered the market by foot to see all the food sold and created there. Of course, once done touring we all chose different items to try and share. The heat was so stifling that we shared a few beers to cool off.もっと詳しく

Goodbye Bangkok
2020年1月20日, タイ ⋅ 🌙 20 °C
We had a nice relaxing morning with our spectacular break fast yet again. This has been a an amazing hotel for a number of reasons. We were upgraded up on our arrival, not only on level but many, right to the top! Top floor, great service, good area with access to metro and the breakfasts were amazing. I will miss the food.
We arrived at the airport early since we were picked up early because they were s a afraid the traffic would interfere with our timing. A bit of relaxing then our plane arrived with a beak on the front. Yep our plane was painted like a bird but to me it looked like a chicken! Then to really top it off, the insignia on the tail looked like an egg with a beak for the yolk... too funny. There was an inflight magazine that had the logo “Let’s NOK serve you”. Good for a giggle. Flight was good and short, landing safely ChIng Mai.もっと詳しく

Hello Chang Mai
2020年1月20日, タイ ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C
Flying into Chaing Mai I noticed that the landscape was quite different. There was more farming communities and they were mixed with residential areas. Rice fields and farms with rows of trees 🌳 🌳🌳. I have to find out what kind of trees, just curious. What kinds of nuts or fruits are they harvesting on these farms? We arrived to our hotel located in a back alley, not the best location it seemed at the time. After settling in, out for a walk we went. The feel of this city is quite different. After a bit of walking we were both trying to figure out what the attraction was to our second city. We both felt like we were in a Mexican city with an Asian feel to it. A bit confusing it was as we began exploring because it felt like we may just be in the wrong area. We headed straight for a tourist stall only to be told there were no maps and she was only selling tours plus her English was spotty at best. I opted for a tuk tuk to get us to the old city because I was getting frustrated. We were charged 100 baht, which seemed reasonable to take us to a gate of the old city which we later discovered that we were located only 1/2 a block outside of another gate to the old city! Not my smartest move. We walked quite a ways and at times felt a bit uncomfortable as it felt like we were in a bad area of town. We bought a tour for the day after tomorrow to see the highest mountain in Thailand, Karen mountain tribe and more. Heading back to the hotel to rest and eat. Well guess what? Pretty much across the road from where we are staying was a entire grouping of different street food stalls! First super was pad Thai and skewered vegetables with 🥓 bacon. They really love their pork. Teresa says that Thai food at home will be spoiled forever since the Thai food here is so excellent!もっと詳しく

Muay Thai boxing
2020年1月20日, タイ ⋅ 🌙 21 °C
I was unsure if I would go or not but after a short relax at the hotel and a beer 🍺 I figured out and remembered that I could sleep at home. Get up Sharon! Ticket bought and the bus to pick me up was on its way. So surprisingly, out of the 10 guests on the red bus only 3 were men! Here I thought I would be the only female, too funny 😂.
We arrived at the arena and I had purchased ring side seats and could choose, my car mates headed up to the higher seats...lol To my disappointment the boxers were quite young, teens at best I believe. Don’t get me wrong, the fights were still quite violent but there skill was of high quality. So there was never more than 5 minutes between fights of 5 rounds, if they made it that far. Out of the six fights, there were two knockout’s! Very happy I was able to enjoy the experience.もっと詳しく

Just a great day
2020年1月21日, タイ ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
After a lovely breakfast of fruits and an omelet that they make quite rare if you will. Not sure everyone would eat them but they are delicious 😋. We both did our own routes today so I can only tell you what I did.
I had a great day but there was a lot of walking involved. Wandering through the streets of any country has always been one of my most favourite things to do. Stop and go. After a quick snack I headed straight for the three kings statue which is attached to the national museum. I had planned on a massage but I just was having too much fun wandering. The museum was great! Very informative with well set up rooms decorated like the information they were trying to convey.
A stop at a super cute cafe proved quite entertaining since I sat beside a fountain and pond with koi. I enjoyed my beverage while enjoying their curious company. As I walked about the foundation they followed. They literally jump over top of each other, was fun to watch and feed them.
Lunch was exceptional at the Bam Boo Cafe trying something different. Then went wandering again to the street market out of the old city. I find the markets the same except I found Thai sausage and I was waiting in line when the biggest cockroach, the size of a small mouse, ran from under the table that was serving the meats! Appetite was suddenly gone. Heading home to meet up with Teresa for supper and rest before my next event... Thai boxing 🥊.もっと詳しく

Karen tribe
2020年1月22日, タイ ⋅ 🌙 18 °C
We were told that this tribe came from Mayamar and Burma and that the Karen tribe we visited had 5000 occupants. With a number of different tribes living on this one mountain, we were shocked to learn that there were 14 different religions. They were quite friendly and mostly harvest coffee, rice and when the rice harvest is over they switch to vegetables 🍅 🌽 🌶. They create their own arabica coffee for Starbucks, which we had the opportunity to sample and buy if we wished ☕️. The ladies were making textiles and we were told a small scarf would take about three days to complete. A blanket for a gift about 3 months to complete. A very close knit community...to much, lol!
Their homes were all built on stilts, some with windows and some without and the views were beautiful.もっと詳しく

A quick stop after the drive at a scenic water fall. A short walk down 100 meters and we came upon a lovely waterfall.

Wachirathan waterfall
2020年1月22日, タイ ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
This waterfall is beautiful and quite large. The mist being created by the falls were giving us rainbows 🌈🌈 from different view points. We were also going to be eating lunch here as well. Lunch consisted of a number of different dishes, most of which were not hot at all. I think they are catering to the tourists so after the exceptional food we have been having it was almost a little bland but still lovely. The company was good too with our tour mates since we were eating family style.もっと詳しく
