Chiang Mai 10 Mar 2010

I can't loiter around chiang mai anymore and decided to sign up a trekking tour for 3days 2 nites to the Karen hilltribe village!
Journey starts tomolo.

A bit nervous coz have not really trek before... the hardcore ones.. i hope i can go through this.

Thereafter.. mebbe i will stay for another 2/3 nites in chiang mai and plan my next destination!

Here's some pic taken around chiang mai for these 2 days!

Mozzie net... feels so princess when u let it down and nite! Oh its with ribbon as well!
GH is of old teak house!

mozzie screen..... tins and tins of biscuit! so old skool!

so tempted to buy a tin!!!

That's all for now! Internet cafe loading slow...

Chiang Mai - 8 March 2010

Arrived Chiang Mai by bus from Sukhothai. Bus ride? A bit sucky!
I think i'm gonna develop a phobia for commuting in bus soon... so bumpy! its like up-down-up-down...
So tired. I slept through the nite and morning.... Woke up only @ 11am!
Weee....

Peeps been telling me i'm going too fast..
So i am taking time slowly in chiang mai now....

I am just done indulging in chocolates..
Chocolate ice cream, chocolate rasberry frappe in a cafe name Chocolate Factory diagonally opposite Wat Chedi Luang.

There are so many activities in Chiang Mai. Of course.. cost of these extreme n not so extreme activities is another concern.

So far.. here's what i have in mind :
1. Thai Cooking Course
2. Bungy Jump
3. Elephant ride

Any other thing you wan to suggest?

There's abundant of Thai massage courses available here but it doesn't seem to be practical since i will not be practicing that.... mebbe i should go for a massage instead..  =)

Interesting thing happened in the bus while on way the to Sukhothai from Ayutthaya.
There is old lady and old man sitting beside me (left and right)... they kept talking to me in Thai throughout the journey even though they have known the fact that i am not Thai.
I told them so...'di chann bu thai'
Its just so amazing!! i like it though.
The lady even helped to point out to me where to get off from the bus! We stopped right in front of our guesthouse! So convenient and sweet of her.
Somehow... at some point i can pick up bits and pieces of what they are telling / asking me.
It was a really nice encounter! Oh i took pic of the old lady! Soon... i'll upload that...

So yeah! What's up in Chiang Mai??!

Backlog - Ayutthaya

Backlog - Hua Hin Sunset @ main street....

ABSOLUT beauty~!

Ayutthaya - 5 March 2010

I have arrived Ayutthaya safely around 2.15pm by bus!
Though its not a very pleasant bus ride (no aircon)... i made it!
Again .. i have to change bus but all within the same bus terminal. :)

Manage to check in to a guesthouse and in time to sign up for a quick tour around the river circulating the ancient city... pictures to be updated soon!!

Decided to skip Bangkok at this moment coz i know i will end up in a shopping frenzy!
Bangkok will be my last stop after i've worn off the same clothes for 6 months!
Hahhahaha

Monetary donation are welcomed for the Foundation of Mich's Odyssey New Wardrobe in 6months! :)

Ciao!

Kanchanaburi, Thailand - 2nd Mar

Arrived around 5pm plus via bus from Hua Hin to Bangkok and from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi. Checked in to Nita Rafthouse @ 90Baht/nite. Its really an interesting & cozy rafthouse though i felt a bit dizzy with all the motion... lols! hey i got free wifi too! Took rest for the evening.... not venturing for the nite...

tHe jOuRnEy...

I know I know..

Everybody been asking me my route..
Where I want to head first...
So here it is..
My options are open though...
The only challenge is to make it to HCM on 10th May!

My departure date is set about a month plus back.
That is TODAY!!!!!!

Will be heading up to Penang first as this will be a weekend  road trip with my dearest - Syamsiah and a college friend - Jesse.

Thereafter.......... the real journey begins... =)
