As i mentioned in my previous post(did i?), we'll come back to chiang mai again because of the weekly night bazaar. My partner wants it desperately. So, after counting the time that night bazaar, we took d early van to go down! When on our way back, the van stopped half way, here came out a guy & a lady. They look like they're not locals, i was thinking maybe they're 'illegal labour'.. i don't know.. i tried to sleep but i heard 'sound' like people puke... arghhhhhhh.... the lady did!!! AND!!! what worse was i saw the bag.. ewwww!!!!
We reached our GH at 1pm and amazingly they were waiting for us. Before we departed to Pai, we reserved the room; the host is so caring even it might be on business purpose. I just felt comfortable.. LOL!!
After settle down and everything, we started with our lunch before night bazaar! A plate of glass noodles.. nice!! continue with mee kin(not really know how to taste it :P)... here we go... SHOPPING!!!
"not really shop alots of stuff there" just overspent!!! LOL!! I LOVE CHIANG MAI... love their snacks, clothes, people... EVERYTHING :)
Ohh.. one thing very funny, when it was almost 10pm, we crossed a stall selling CDs.. my partner was attracted by songs.. she approached that guy, he said this CD is nice; he next to a song name 'Rhythm of the Rain'.. that's nice.. within few seconds, IT'S RAIN!!! OMG!!! this song has spelled on it.. LOL!! we ran to another corner, and talked with all the locals there, it's a great night!! :)

Leaving Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. seriously, totally know nothing about there, but i know there's a super awesome white temple which i wish i'll be there and i made it.. but it was on last day! wahahaha.. i call it as Satisfied.. LOL!!
Check-in to a well-known GH, have forgotten what the name is! but rate for one night is 350B exclude wifi, u need to pay for another 50B for the passkey! stupid man!! but don't care because its still consider.. CHEAP! LOL!! When we reached its already evening. Have some sleep then headed to TAT (Tourism Authority of Thailand) go grab some information about how suitable route to go all the tourist attraction and also way to Loas... shocking duration by slow boat, 24hrs plus!! omg!! speed boat is not recommended even though it can shorten the journey to 12hrs.. mostly!! we will go back after go back to bangkok!!

We came out late today; don't know why prefer to online in GH instead of walking around! hahaha.. We rent a bike with rate of 150B. 1st station of the day was Emerald Buddha, i never heard of this, but my partner told me they have another one in Bangkok. In that temple, besides the emerald buddha, they have one museum which has alots of collections, i used hours to explore that place, quite impressive..

Next will be our curiosity. OK!! it was mine.. hahaha.. i want to go akha village, i'm not going to give up after the one in Mea Hong Son!! By following the road sign, i've gone through a super hard muddy road.. i got scratches on my leg, everywhere.. i think we are lost... but this is not a reason for me to give up, suddenly we saw a hut not far away from our sight! Opss, its a hill tribe which contains several tribe to live together in the village.. i was very happy and both of u decided to go in! at 1st, the entrance is 350B which is too much for us. after negotiation, we got 250B.. i've to salute to my skills.. improving.. woots!!
there was few groups of foreigner entering with their own tour guide.. amazingly, there was a Brazilian is running tour alone with his tour guide, so we joined him. He was so generous!! everyone in tribe promote things to him, he never negotiates but just buy the things.. within few tribes, he got so many things already!! LOL!! even the tribe is kinda touristy, but i feel great as i get to see how they live, study, work and etc!! nice!!

After that, we continue to Black Temple, its a place with awesome artistic work but abit creepy due to their materials used! they used real skeleton, fur, horn from cow; skin from snake; skin from crocodile.. omg!! once we entered, we separated. i tried to walk around, inside has alots of house? room? hut? but actually this place is used to serve the artist's guest! If i would be his guest, i think i got no guts to stay at this place.. LOL!! It started to drizzle, and i walked out, i saw my partner sitting in the souvenir shop waiting.. she said she couldn't stand with creepy ambiance.. me either! Wait!!! i saw something in the shop.. OMG!! crocodile head handbag, snake bone bracelet!! crazeeeeeeeee!!! **RUN**

Then, Night bazaar again, this turn, we explored alots of food stalls AFTER our dinner!! so we decided to come back for supper after Clock Tower performance! wahaha.. when almost 10, we get ourselves to the Clock Tower... Tong! Tong!! Tong!!! the clock tower started to have fancy colours & music plays.. nice!! maybe our clock tower could have such effect too, it can be another tourist attraction like Chiang Rai does!! After finishing that performance, we back to the night bazaar again and ordered Hot Pot, wasai.. worth for the price & its cheap!! While eating, i saw a pretty lady sitting next to our tables eating cricket! woots!!! i want to try!!! and my partner said yes! i respect her!! hahahaha... ordered my very 1st time fried insects.. it just crunchy & crispy!! =)

14 June
Due to overspent, i need to withdraw $$$. Here i went to 1st bank, FAILED... 2nd FAILED.. even the 3rd one!!! Arghhh... PMS!!! i forgot to change its limit!!! ishhhhh!!! how stupid am i!!! the day started with this PMS thinggy will not end for whole day...
Today is the last day in Chiang Rai, so we set to go White Temple which is not near to the town! We used map to go, but my stupid partner!! i super ki chuan with her that day!! i've already went crazy with my banking thinggy d!! Then, i was the one riding, do you expect me to read the map for myself??? Are u crazy???(that's how i felt on that instant!!) i'm super angry because of her day-dreaming, we've missed the turn and rode the wrong road for almost 20mins!!! it's not fun to ride with her!! ishhhh....
Finally, we reached White Temple... it really AWESOME especially the-still-under-construction hall.. they have one waxed monk inside the hall, 'HE' looks so real!!! too bad, photography is prohibited... not to forgotten, the painting on the wall is COOL!!
Walked into the temple, they have entrance & exit for that, i didn't ask for the purpose, but they said do not walk back! maybe its to leave the bad things behind and welcome the good things!!(how clever am i? :P ) As u walked out from the temple, u will reach another exhibition hall, they have draft and final draft exhibited which i would like to go through thoroughly because it just superb!!! but after 5mins, i couldn't find my partner! I knew her!! must be waiting outside!! LOL!! As she told, everything in the hall is almost the same.. what the!!!! i'm just speechless...
Even though the White Temple is themed with creepy(i think?!), but it feels better than Black Temple, maybe with its white colour...? but it just great! :)
 |
Unique!!!

After this, we have nothing to do as we returned that bike. So, waited at GH's lobby from 12pm till 6pm for the bus to Bangkok!! its so... tiring & boring!!
Ohhhhh!!! i want to praise their long journey bus!!! their service is just thumb up!!! From Chiang Rai to Bangkok, the journey is about 12hours with the rate of 581B. they served pillow, blanket, food & drinks!! COOL!!
