It looks a bit like the green-skinned trains in China, but it is fully equipped. Because the train ride is about 11 hours, Yunluo and An Chuyu chose a double sleeper compartment. During the day, there is a double sofa in the compartment. At night, the crew will make it into upper and lower bunks for you. The compartment is equipped with a charging port, a washbasin (with hot water), a mirror, a toothbrush holder, and a mine.
There are spring water blankets and bath towels. There are table lamps and curtains at the head of the bed. The door of the compartment can be locked, so there is no need to worry about being disturbed by idle people. There is a public restroom in the compartment and one specifically for bathing. When Yunluo and An Chuyu saw the bath towels, they asked, "Why are you giving me bath towels?" It turns out that you can take a bath on the train. If you want to use hot water to make instant noodles, you will be charged three yuan for hot water.
The train provides meal ordering service. Yunluo took a rough look at the meal plates. The price is about 40 RMB and it is a set meal with rice, soup and fruit. Yunluo is not interested. However, Yunluo saw other carriages selling fruit. The real thing is the same as the photo. Yunluo bought one for 80 baht. Yunluo remembered taking the train in China.
I bought a small portion of cherry tomatoes for 10 RMB. Chiang Mai refreshed Yunluo's general concept of small freshness. In Chiang Mai, you can't see high-rise buildings, buses, or anything in a fast-paced city. Here, relaxation is really interpreted to the extreme. If you want to go on vacation, Chiang Mai must not be missed.
Shulai still feels a little scared when he recalls the rugged mountain road to Pai, but I believe that everyone who arrives there is like Yunluo. Even if they spit out green mountains and green waters, it is still worth it. The dried mangoes in Thailand are a compliment. The bus to Pai by gotopai was booked through a travel agency. It is ok to find a reliable travel agency to make a reservation.
In addition, those who are prone to motion sickness can choose to take a helicopter. Of course, the price is higher, but it is also quite exciting to feel the winding mountain road. The bus ticket booked by Yunluo is 750 baht. On the way to Pai, you will pass through many such winding roads. Even though the mountain road is rugged, it still attracts people to go there and pass many bends along the way.
Yunluo didn't remember anything. She only remembered that she felt dizzy and nauseous and was about to die. Later, she told the tour guide of the Chiang Rai one-day tour that there were 1,800 turns to Pai. Yunluo also looked up other netizens' answers, but they were so varied and she didn't know which one was right. Next time she goes to Pai, she plans to ride a motorcycle there to experience how small the strawberry plantation is.
The best time to visit is during the strawberry season from June to August. Located between coffeeinlove and paicanyon in the canyon. There are large strawberry sculptures, floats, heart-shaped doors, message cards, etc. outside. There is an open area at the top of the slope where you can overlook the entire strawberry garden and the mountain scenery behind it. There are large and small strawberry models scattered among them, plus "strawberry.
Lovepai" background makes this the most popular photography place. Walking into the strawberry garden is like walking into a fairy tale world. Looking around, you can see strawberry shapes and various small commodities related to strawberries. Couples can lock their love with strawberry locks. Strawberry smoothie is 65 baht per cup.
It is said that it was built by the Japanese during World War II. The bridge is on the way from Chiang Mai to Pai County. It takes about half an hour to ride a motorcycle from the center of Pai County. The tree swing is located inside the Maripairesort in Pai County. It is a swing hanging on a tree several stories high. Its unique shape attracts more and more tourists to visit.
People waiting to take photos of the tree swing. This yellow hut was built for the Thai movie "Pai in Love" and has now become a landmark attraction in Pai. Regardless of gender, age or status, when visiting Pai County, everyone will definitely come to this hut to take photos and leave behind a young and petty bourgeoisie heart. One side of the hut faces the road, and walking down the other side are farmlands and pastures.
In the evening, smoke rises, and a thick scene of life appears before people. In addition to the flowers and plants carefully taken care of by flower farmers, the cottage is also dotted with many artistic decorations. For example, retro bicycles, mailboxes, dwarf pottery, etc. Not knowing English is really embarrassing everywhere. This uncle asked Yunluo to be his model.
Taking a few photos near the spa, Yunluo understood that he wanted Yunluo to go for a spa. Yunluo directly answered that he had no money. Later, his Thai assistant spoke in English. Yunluo understood and took the uncle's car to the hotel. I met him again when I was walking in the night market. The night market in the center of Pai County. There are some shops. There are also snacks.
It takes about three hours to get to Chiang Rai. Because the journey is long and I am too lazy to find a car, I chose to take a day tour. I booked it at a travel agency in Chiang Mai. The group fee for two people was 1,500 baht. There were no shopping spots along the way. The road to Chiang Rai was also winding. I was traveling with a group of friends from Beijing.
Yunluo and one of the girls were both vomiting. She seemed to be even worse than Yunluo. She was still vomiting in the bathroom during the break. She was still taking selfies after she came out. I was impressed by how strong this girl was. Before getting on the bus, the tour guide gave Yunluo and An Chuyu a motion sickness pill each. Yunluo saw the tour guide buy it at the pharmacy.
(Let Yunluo be moved for a while) If it was a Chinese tour guide, the tour guide was a native Thai. Her Chinese was pretty good. She said that the designer of the White Temple was inspired by the Black Temple and designed a pure white (world). The Black Temple was actually designed and built by a local artist, Thawanduchanee, as a black house museum.
Located at the border of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos, it houses many of his precious antiques, as well as many specimens such as horns, skulls, and python skins. The atmosphere is depressing. People often mention it together with the White Temple. The White Temple is "heaven" and the Black Temple is "hell". People often say that hell comes before heaven. Naturally, I visited the Black Temple first and then heaven. The day I went there happened to be the third day after the elder of the Black Temple passed away. After reading Yunluo's travel notes.
You will know that Yunluo will not take photos in places with temples or dark buildings. Yunluo believes in Buddhism and has always believed that people cannot be with Buddha. I asked my mother to help screen all the photos before uploading them safely. The place where they met. Wat Rong Khun in Chiang Rai, Thailand was built in 1998.
It was designed and built by the famous Thai architect (originally a painter) Chalermchaikositpipat. The funds for the temple construction came from his savings over the past 20 years and donations from caring people. He had to modify the drawings several times during the construction, and the project was completed very slowly. But it was precisely because of his loyalty to the Buddha and his persistence in architectural design that he created such a delicate and perfect temple.
Why is the temple white? He said: White represents purity, and the glittering glass is a symbol of wisdom. The exterior of this modern Buddhist temple is decorated with mirror fragments, and the gabled windows are decorated with nagas (multi-headed snakes and gods of the underworld) and shapes such as elephants and umbrellas.
Inside, there are huge murals of Buddha statues hand-painted by Khositphiphat. These buildings and sculptures interpret the meaning, essence and wisdom of Buddhism. In addition to Buddhism, shadows and figures of other religions can also be seen. It shows the tolerance and breadth of Buddhism. The White Temple does not charge admission. You can enter freely during the opening hours.
But taking photos is not allowed in the temple. When Yunluo visited, part of the temple was under renovation. It was the part of the road to hell. The owner of the White Temple, Chalermchaikositpipat, this magnificent place is the toilet. The group meal included in the one-day tour of the wishing card is as follows: It is still very delicious. The fruit after the meal is also wrong from purgatory to heaven. Goodbye Chiang Rai.
Close to the Chao Phraya River, it is a large-scale ancient building complex (28 buildings) in the center of Bangkok, with a total area of 218,400 square meters. The Grand Palace was built in imitation of the old palace in the ancient capital of Ayutthaya. After continuous expansion by successive kings, it was finally built into the current grand Grand Palace complex.
The Grand Palace is one of the many royal palaces in Thailand. It is the most perfectly preserved, largest and most ethnically distinctive royal palace of all dynasties. From Rama I to Rama VIII of the Bangkok Dynasty, they all lived in the Grand Palace. After Rama VIII was assassinated in the palace in 1946, Rama IX moved to the newly built Chitralada Palace east of the Grand Palace.
Nowadays, the Grand Palace is used for coronation ceremonies, palace celebrations and other ceremonies and activities. It is open to the public and has become a famous tourist attraction in Thailand. Opening hours: 8:30-15:30 Ticket price: 500 baht, including tickets to the Emerald Buddha Temple and Wimaman Palace and a guide map. No revealing clothes are allowed when entering the temple.
(You can rent a scarf at the entrance, the rental fee is generally around 40 baht) ps: Don't think you can sneak in by wearing a scarf. Yunluo was caught at the Emerald Buddha Temple. You are not allowed to take photos, but I still took some sneak shots. Khao San Road in Bangkok is a gathering place for backpackers. Speaking of Khao San Road, everyone in the local area knows it. For typical backpackers from all over the world.
If you haven't been to Khao San Road, it's like you haven't been to Thailand. Many backpackers choose this place as their base for traveling to the "Land of Smiles". Leonardo's movie "The Beach" was filmed here. This short street is the base camp for backpackers and the best office for travelers. There are not only dozens of hotels here.
There are also cheap hotels, restaurants, Internet service stations, pharmacies, photo processing shops, cash machines, etc. that can handle travel to other Southeast Asian countries. It can be said that although it is small, it has all the necessary facilities. Hippies and fake IDs The excitement of Khaosan Road comes from the strong hippie atmosphere. On the bustling streets, some people are wearing braids, while others are avoiding the strong sun and drinking beer in restaurants.
Some people spread out their maps to find their next destination. Others do nothing... Interestingly, Khaosan Road is also a well-known place for selling fake IDs. Whether it is a student ID, a professor ID from a top university, or even a journalist ID, as long as you give the stall owner a photo of yourself, you will have a dream ID in a short while.
It is reported that many tourists use fake certificates made by Khao San Road to get free admission to some museums in Europe. It can be said that "a fake certificate can take you to the end of the world". Yun Luo had no regrets at the time and wanted to apply for an international driver's license. A homeless man made a decoration out of an unused can and liked the hat very much. This Hong Kong-style restaurant has good food.
The moon is full on the 15th and the 16th. This place is more like a small Hong Kong. There are many Hong Kong-style restaurants in the city. I walked to a supermarket selling Chinese food and saw Lao Gan Ma. The moment I saw it, I really jumped. When I checked the bill, I found that the expiration date was three months past the expiration date. I remind you to check the expiration date when buying things. Ha, every meal in Bangkok.
We almost always eat at McDonald's and Yoshinoya. There is a restaurant opened by overseas Chinese near the hotel. They have a spicy dish that is a bit like the Malatang in China and it is quite satisfying. The ingredients are all selected from the cloud and cooked by the proprietress. Bangkok is a replica of Beijing, with crowded vehicles and high-rise buildings lined up in rows. The difference is that it is less indifferent and more lively.
Warmth The shopping malls in Bangkok are very good. I just visited many unique shops. I was not very interested in Bangkok, so I had very little time for Bangkok. I discovered a different Bangkok on the day before returning home. I have to leave it for next time. Bangkok Amphawa Floating Market The Amphawa Floating Market is on both sides of a river, with rows of shops on the banks.
There are all kinds of special products and delicacies for you to choose from. There are also small boats selling all kinds of delicacies in the river. The vendors will put the food in a basket and pass it to the shore with a long bamboo pole. The guests will then put money in the basket, which is very interesting. Of course. Please be careful not to fall into the water when there are many tourists, because there are no railings on both sides of the river.
The path on the shore is also quite narrow, so it is easy to get knocked down or step on empty space if you are not careful. In addition, I would like to share with you a good thing. Every afternoon at 4 or 5 o'clock, there will be more and more small boats selling seafood barbecue in the river. The grilled prawns there look very appetizing. Small ones are 200 baht for five. The most unique thing about the Amphawa floating market is that it is the "home of fireflies" in Thailand.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Amphawa is very beautiful at night. When night falls, take a long-tail boat to leave the bustling floating market and slowly enter the endless darkness of the dense forest of the Mekong River. The cool and fresh air hits you. When your eyes gradually adapt to the dark environment, the boat glides quietly to the shore; suddenly you will find that the trees around you are full of fireflies, shining like Christmas trees.
This is what I saw online. I didn't go to see Yunluo. It was a long journey to Anpawa. I rushed back to Bangkok from Hua Hin at about 10 o'clock in the morning. It was already afternoon when I returned to the hotel and went out again. I took a tuk tuk to go there. Before leaving, I searched on Baidu and found that I had to take a bus from the South Station. It costs 600 baht to take a tuk tuk from Hua Lamphong Railway Station.
He stopped a car and asked for the price. Yunluo and An Chuyu asked for 200 baht. They got in the car and drove for a while and stopped at a massage parlor. He asked Yunluo and An Chuyu to wait for him. After a while, he brought a friend out (a transvestite). They didn't speak English. Yunluo and An Chuyu searched for some relevant pictures on their mobile phones and showed them to him.
After some discussion, they decided on a place. He said it was very far and needed to add 100 baht. Yunluo agreed to 300 baht. On the way, Yunluo stopped at 7-11 and treated him to a Red Bull. Here is what this handsome driver looks like. He has dark skin, is about 180cm tall, is very thin, and has tattoos all over his body, including on his knuckles.
So cool. (Yunluo forgot to take a photo of him) Because Brother Zhong was quite interested, he asked him how much it would cost to get a full body tattoo in Thailand. He said it would cost about 2,000 RMB in total. It was almost 2 o'clock when we arrived at the South Station Bus Station. I asked and found out that there was no bus to Amphawa. It was only available in the morning. I thought I couldn't go. The staff said.
Tell Yunluo and An Chuyu to walk a little further ahead and there is a small van that can get there, but the ticket price is a little more expensive. The tickets in the two pictures below are only available in the morning and the ticket price is unknown. You can buy tickets here and ride the bus all day long. Look at the 303 in the picture and buy it. The ticket price is 70 baht (Yunluo thought it was very expensive). You will pass by the railway market on the way.
Hua Hin is a coastal town in central Thailand. It is more than 200 kilometers away from the Thai capital Bangkok (12°34′N, 99°57′E), and belongs to the Prachuap Khiri Khan Province of Thailand. It is across the river from Pattaya and 281 kilometers southwest of Bangkok, about a 3-hour journey. It is known as the most traditional seaside resort in Thailand. Royal nobles would stay in Hua Hin for a period of time every year.
The current Thai king has lived in the palace here for a long time. Although not as well-known as tourist hotspots such as Pattaya and Phuket, Hua Hin is also one of the earliest seaside resorts in Thailand. It belongs to the Prachuap Khiri Khan Province of Thailand and can be said to be a "veteran" in Thailand's tourism industry. Golf and hot spring treatments here are particularly famous.
It is still loved by Thais and foreign tourists. Hua Hin means "stone" in Thai. The beautiful scenery of Hua Hin's blue sea and white sand is very popular with the Thai royal family, who built a summer palace here. It was the royal summer palace and Thailand's construction of the Southern Railway in the area.
This is how the former fishing village gradually developed into a resort. To date, Hua Hin Railway Station is still considered the oldest and most beautiful railway station in Thailand for its unique architectural structure and design style. Foreign tourists who come to Hua Hin can enjoy the sea and the beach, as well as linger in many tourist attractions such as palaces.
You can also go to Hua Hin's famous night market at night to experience the life of the locals. Transportation: Take a train from Bangkok to Hua Hin. You can buy the train ticket at Bangkok Railway Station one day in advance. There are many trains to Hua Hin. I planned to experience the shabby carriages in Lost in Thailand. I chose a slightly lower-priced ticket and exclaimed that it was so luxurious after getting on the train.
Hua failed to get what he wanted. Train number: 171. Ticket price: 152 Thai baht (about RMB 30). Time: 13:00--17:14, about four hours. I forgot to secretly take a picture of his hair blown by the wind (please imagine it yourself). I packed some KFC before getting on the train. Yunluo particularly disliked KFC, but he didn't expect that the most delicious food in Thailand would be KFC.
But can you imagine what ginger chicken wings taste like? It seems that all Thai dishes have ginger. For children who don't eat ginger, this is simply a nightmare. When the train stops at a station, there will be some businessmen selling ice cream, boxed lunches and snacks. The prices are still very cheap, not much more than double the price when you buy them on the train. Take the pineapple city for example.
Selling for 20 beads, 30 beads on the train. The small bag contains sugar and chili powder. The locals nearby are eating it very fragrantly. Yunluo tastes a bit strange. Because the train was late, it was already 6 o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Hua Hin. I rented a motorcycle first. Turn right at the exit of the train station and there is a store for renting motorcycles and cars at the first exit. (To be continued.
