RA Goes To Thailand - Random pictures

Actually aside of the shopping, ada jugak my team mates yang pergi tour. A day tour at  Thailand’s Highest Spot- Doi Inthanon National Park (a.k.a. “The roof of Thailand”)

Overview : Visit Doi Inthanon National Park, at 2,565 meters above sea level the highest peak of Thailand. This range is a part of Himalaya in Nepal. The weather is cool all year-round. On top of Doi Inthanon land with ancient rainforest, vast completely covered. That very few will experience the real nature of the country’s highest mountain. Doi Inthanon National Park is a Mecca for birdwatchers and offers evergreen forests, impressive waterfalls, interesting flora and fauna and marvelous natural scenery. The tour continues with a visit Phra Mahathat Napha Methanidon and Phra Mahathat Naphaphon Phumisiri, twin pagodas which were built to commemorate the fifth cycle birthdays of King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit. Both pagodas share similar bases as well as a two-level walking path that surrounds them. The pagodas enshrine Lord Buddha’s ashes and Buddha images, and overlook the magnificent scenery of Doi Inthanon. The tour continues with a visit to the Karen Hill Tribe Village and the Royal Project, followed by lunch at a local restaurant. Upon descending, guests will stop at the beautiful Vachiratharn waterfalls and Mae Klang waterfalls on the way down the mountain before making our way back to Chiang Mai.

tapi Akak tak pergilah sebab memikirkan turun-turun kapal terbang terus nak pergi. Penat wehhh lagipun kan malam sebelum tu tak cukup tidur. Anyway I am not a nature lover....I'm a shopoholic yang dah semi insaf. Sekarang ni bila nak beli barang fikir dulu guna atau tidak...unlike dulukala. Dah tua ni kurang sikit impulse purchases.

Since my team mates banyak whatsapps gambar marilah kita tepek kat sini buat kenang-kenangan. 

view from hotel room

hotel swimming pool....tak ada plak mat salleh bersidai

massage...massage....tempat massage pun ada free wifi hokay. So jangan malu bertanya password.

the only few food that I can eat cause the halal breakfast section of the hotel is so limited.

tuan belog dah ready nak berangkat balik on day 3. I envy those people yang boleh pakai baju lawa-lawa....skirt and gowns. I pi travel mesti selebet. I am more comfortable in my jeans and sport shoes. Sling bag and bag pack are always my choice. Nak kena tukar style ni...baru boleh lawan Che Ta (masalahnya Che Ta tu kurus tinggi, pakai apa pun gorgeous).

airport Chiang Mai ada free wifi.....free wifi is like gold to travellers like us.

semua tunggu nak boarding balik flight pukul 4.55pm. Sampai KL dah almost pukul 9 malam.Flight balik dalam 2 hours and 45 minutes. Ada steward Thai hensem dalam flight balik tu. Semua menggedik menengok mamat tu hahaha...ada yang siap curi tangkap gambar. Akak tak ler....ala muda lagipun dak steward tu.

duty free shop in Chiang Mai airport

ni Akak dan kawan Akak pi lepak McD. Kami nak tumpang aircond dan free wifi. Sekali punyalah complicated nak connect the wifi.....lupakan jerlah. McD dia ada jual pork so Akak tak adalah berani nak beli even fish burger pun. Akak makan croissant and OJ saja.

flight balik nasi lemak habis. Nasib baiklah masa pergi dapat makan. Sedap nasi lemak Air Asia walaupun RM14. Chicken rice dia pun not bad.

Akak belikan bag pack ni untuk Kakak dan Adik. Comelkan.....yang ni THB100 sahaja. Akak beli bag for myself jugak tapi lupa pulak nak tangkap gambar. 

punyalah berselirat wire letrik kat Chiang Mai ni. Kalau orang TNB tengok ni mau muntah darah derang

mineral water Siam

kat lobby hotel kami. Lawa minah Siam ni kan. 

siapa lagi lawa...Akak ke minah Siam ni. Kalau korang kata minah Siam tu...Akak sentap hahaha

kap...kap....

gambar sayur pun nak ambik. Dah lawa ambiklah. Kawan Akak kata kat pasar chow kit pun banyaklah hahaha

fresh sea food

bag ni lah yang Akak beli tapi Akak ambik warna biru. Comel tak?

So that conclude my Thailand travelogue...harap-harap tahun depan company dapatlah menaja kami pi Korea atau Paris. Amboi Paris kau kata....zaman stock market blooming 10 tahun lepas boleh ler...sekarang ....hmm....

RA Goes to Thailand - Night Market in Chiang Mai

Kalau berjalan dengan wanita-wanita apa kemestian? Shoppinglah apa lagi hahaha.

I must warned you that this post a bit lenghty dan banyak gambar.

Hotel kami walking distance dari night market. But I must warned you that kalau datang sini silalah pakai sports shoes cause there's a lot of walking. Kaki I rasa macam nak patah tau tak banyak sangat berjalan. Nasib baiklah foot massage murah kat Chiang Mai ...about THB200 sahaja. So both nite lepas penat jalan shopping, we went for foot massage for an hour. Barulah sedap boleh tidur malam kalau tak sakit sangat.

Let's get back to the night market.

Anusarn Market

First night tu kami ke Anusarn Market untuk cari halal restaurant. Jangan risau kalau di Anusarn market ni banyak kedai makan halal. Disebabkan kitaorang makan di kedai pertama yang kitaorang nampak which is kedai pak Arab, it's a bit expensive. Kalau masuk dalam lagi market ni ada kedai Thai yang halal.

4 of us makan di kedai Arab. Tomyam clear tu sedaplah sangat. Ada fish, clams, daging, ayam....macam-macamlah...hirup kuahlah kami.

 Som Tam ....rasa nak pergi balik ...sedappp

Lepas makan kami explore the night market. Our trainer dah warn us that the night market is actually expensive cause the Thai's has been spoiled by the kwai lo (mat sallehlah tuh). The price here is actually almost twice higher than outside (kedai souveniers tepi kilang leather tu murah banyak dari sini. Patutlah tokey kedai kat leather factory tu tak layan bila kitaorang bargain...kat situ memang dah murah). Kalau nak beli kat night market ni make sure you all beli banyak-banyak and bargain...they might give you cheaper price. 

gila tengok cushion covers yang cantik-cantik tu tapi I tak beli hehehe

Seluar kat patung tu Akak beli. Dapat murah pun sebab beli sama-sama with my friend. Two for THB380 about THB190 each dalam RM23. Murah .....

 Akak belikan anak-anak t-shirt and bags.

Betagen yang sedap. 7 Eleven banyak so jangan risau. In fact my collegues gila membeli Lays kat 7 Eleven cause they say it's cheap and flavor lain dari di Malaysia.

Kalare Night Bazaar

Another night market that you can explore. It's the same street cuma jauh sikit from each other. 

ice-cream dia sedap...kalau nak beli, beli perisa teh. Taste like teh tarik but better and nicer.

toot toot kecik ni lagi mahal dari yang merah besar tu

my collegues gila membeli shawl....as cheap as THB100. Shawl kat atas ni ada adik yang belanja sehelai. Satu THB190...terima kasih ler.....hehehe...

my collegue membeli 3kg dried longan kat sini. They pack terus masuk kotak.

teh bunga. Masuk dalam air panas...wangi baunya

souveniers

Halal Street Halal Town

Lagi satu tempat untuk cari makanan halal adalah di Halal Street. 

Silalah tanya locals or toot toot driver they will show you where it is. Disebabkan I pergi ngan adik-adik yang hebat berjalan...so I just follow them sajalah. Jalan waktu malam tak terasa penat sangat cause tak panas. Waktu siang boleh tahan jugak panas Chiang Mai ni. Tapi jalan pun tak berpeluh macam kat Malaysia.

posing sudah kemestian 

the view during the day

dijalan ni ada masjid, muslim council and restoran halal

adik tudung hitam ni kerja di restoran pertama yang kami pergi...yang pandai cakap melayu tu.

Jumpa lagi di Halal Street =)

malam kedua kami makan di restoran ni. Nama restorannya Sophia.

Harga makanan sangat reasonable. Makanan pun sedap.

tak ingat kawan I makan apa tapi dia kata pedasssss....dia yang kuat makan pedas tu pun tak tahan. Tapi dia kata walaupun pedas tapi sedap.

street food vendors at Halal Street. Tengoklah udangnya punyalah banyak.

There a morning market, Warorot Market. Akak tak pergilah pulak tapi kawan-kawan Akak pergi. Akak pagi Sabtu tu sakit kepala lepas makan pulut mangga. Macam-macamlah yang derang beli.

manis mangganya....beli kat tepi jalan saja. Tak ingat pulak how much.

penat berjalan ....kita pergi foot massagelah. 

Nanti Akak sambung lagi okay. I had fun with this trip. Rasa macam nak repeat balik. Nak kena ajak my girlfrens pergi barulah seronok nak shopping sakan.
