The long semester break is here. Like finally, three weeks of holiday only before that and so much of studying. Couldn't imagine the working days in a few more years to come without real long break. Even that working in the office for 8 hours only had kinda made me mad. I wouldn't mind if it is just 3 hours..
Ignoring those work, there are so many to do during this holiday yet procrastination will also pull you back some times. I always have a topic or scene in my head to take those kind of photos but it is hard to really put in effort and time to do so..always have some things that will ruin the mood even in this holiday. It sucks.
But managed to go to 3 more Asean countries in this holiday is quite fun. So as usual showing pictures is much better to express what i saw most.
Ps : The whole trip i had been using manual mode on my 18-55 mm only, due to the gear had spoiled and i'm lazy to change the lens.
So Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai first.
The first meal in Chiang Mai. Not really sure what are they called, all i know is they are for four person in each basket. They had refill of drumsticks too.
This restaurant have some stage for some dancing while we are eating. It is said to be the olden times where there is a performance while the king eats.
Exterior decos
The hotel lobby of Empress Hotel. Too bad the hotel have no free WiFi.
Out to the streets of Chiang Mai Night Bazaar.
To me it is not that big and not that many choices of shirts and food as compared to Taiwan and even Malaysia.
But it is much more safer in Chiang Mai!
The outside view of a red tuk tuk ( Red taxi ) Much more worth it if in a group about 20 baht per person.
DAY 2
Starting off to a orchid farm. There's so many orchid that could never be found in Malaysia! It is said that if got caught plucking one of the orchid will be fined 50000 baht ( if not mistaken ) and jailed at least 1 year.
All of these orchid to bloom needed at least a year.
A small area for butterfly farm.
Next : To the Elephant park!
I took the elephant ride but it was too bumpy.. so no pictures of it but there is ox cart ride when we go back to the entrance
Nearby there was a hill tribe living there.
The picture below is one of the tribes which they believe wearing the rings on the legs will make it slimmer and more pretty.
Making scarfs for some extra income
Around their living area
One of the few existing long neck tribe
The man or husband will work mostly as farmers or as craftsmen
Next : TO the snake show and monkey show
TWO REAL COBRAS
Such balls he got there..
Some venom
One of the restaurant. Most of their restaurant serve more like a Chinese dishes. Not really sure whether it is already been this way or due to the growing Chinese from China visiting.
