This is a real vacation, this is the meaning of life. Starting at three o'clock, the tour groups left the island one after another. The island gradually returned to tranquility. At about 4:30, the bear rabbits who were taking shelter from the summer heat came out of the cave to touch the soft sand of Emperor Island and watch the sunset at the seaside. Just like this, Yunluo wants to hold your hand and grow old together in the sunset.
When taking photos, a lady who looked like the editor of a fashion magazine enthusiastically taught Yunluo photography skills and shouted to Yunluo from a distance to tell her where to go. The lady took her camera and took photos of the sunset for more than an hour! If the lady can see this travel note, I wish you a happy day. The beach of Emperor Island is just like milk tea.
It makes people want to eat. Foodies seem to describe beauty in this way, haha. Then Yunluo and An Chuyu walked slowly on the waves towards the cliff restaurant for dinner. They ordered a Thai fried noodle, a fried rice and two beers, and slowly indulged in the intoxicating night of Racha. After dinner, it was almost 7:30, and they returned to Yunluo and An Chuyu's Raya hut, listening to the sea breeze.
Looking at the night, continue watching TV series. In this situation, what else can you ask for? In the night of Emperor Island, the two of them slept soundly, with smiles on their lips in their dreams. In the morning, wake up your ears. Open the window, face the sea, and the spring flowers are blooming. If you have lost the motivation to live, please come here, where you will regain your beauty for everything, and then, and then.
Everything else becomes less important. Friends who like taking photos must get up early. Get up at 6 o'clock and go out before 7 o'clock. The sun will come up at 8:30, and the photos will not look good. So you must seize this precious time. The beach in the morning belongs to the tourists on the island. When Yunluo and An Chuyu went out, there were only 4 people on the beach.
This moment on Emperor Island belongs to you. Morning photo, above. Various cats on the island can chat. People and nature are really harmonious in foreign countries. This is in China. Such a big crab. Coconut Island scenery. The big lizards can be seen everywhere. What a charming cat star. The sculpture of the cliff restaurant, the sun father-in-law, will soon be exposed to the sun. The light for taking pictures is not so good.
The first group of tourists on the island also began to land, and the quiet Emperor Island became lively again. Yunluo and An Chuyu slowly walked back to the hotel. After packing their luggage, they continued to enjoy the chairs until checkout at 11 o'clock. Looking at the sea view, they couldn't help but feel jealous of nature. After storing their luggage at 11 o'clock, they continued to eat at the cliff restaurant.
I ordered Thai seafood soup and rice, the taste is really not good. The price is not cheap. I miss the instant noodles in Phuket. I was lazy until 2:30, and took the boat ticket back to Phuket. I emphasize again, stay overnight to appreciate her goodness! myheartwillgoon---rachaisland.
Love in Racha, hard to leave. The speedboat returned to the dock in an hour, still flying in the wind, feeling great. The tour guide will ask you for a tip, 20b is enough, rich people can do whatever they want. After arriving at the dock, we were taken directly to the hotel by minibus. We continued to have Yunluo and Anchuyu's favorite dinner. It seems that only instant noodles can fill you up in Thailand, haha.
I didn't rent a motorbike tonight because I had to go to PP Island tomorrow morning, so I didn't have time. I just walked to Jiangxi Leng, which only took 10 minutes. You can also encounter food stalls along the way, and they all use Chinese to trick you into eating. There are a lot of food inside, but not many people eat there, so the taste may be just average.
The one-day tour was booked at Lazy Cat's for 399 yuan insee. This is really cost-effective. There are reasons why it is expensive. First, PP Island is far away. The yacht takes more than an hour; second, there are two snorkeling trips, which is super cool; third, there are fruit drinks throughout the trip. The cheaper Emperor Island before didn't have all kinds of them.
Fourth, the lunch buffet was at the best restaurant on the Big PP Island, with a wide variety of food. So I highly recommend it. I still had a hearty hotel breakfast, and a car came to pick me up, very punctual. Today we went to another pier. When we arrived at the pier, there were snacks, drinks and fruits. The fruits were mainly watermelon and pineapple, all of which were iced and super refreshing.
Then the tour guide explained the itinerary for today. We rented a pair of fins for a bear. Today we took the bear, who can't swim, snorkeling. The fins cost 150b. The underwater camera cost 300b. It's cheaper to rent it online in advance for 200b. We boarded the boat and set off. A beautiful day began. Enjoying the sea breeze and looking at the sea view.
It took more than an hour to reach the most beautiful snorkeling area near PP Island. I started my first snorkeling today. Because I had experience yesterday, I started to act as Miss Bear's coach and guide a certain bear to go into the sea. Haha. The pixels of the underwater camera are average, so you can just make do with it. The real scenery is far more beautiful than the photos.
This is a snorkeling paradise, much more reliable than Yuzhizhou Island in Sanya, China. It is so beautiful. The fish are right next to you, eating the bread you feed them. Now I sometimes see the infinite beauty of the seabed in my dreams. After the first snorkeling, the yacht took Yunluo and An Chuyu to Dapp Island for lunch. The buffet was really great.
The food was delicious. Then we boarded the boat to the super beautiful Bamboo Island. We had 2 hours to play, take photos and snorkel. For Miss Bear who loves taking photos, two hours is obviously not enough to take photos. Here are the photos of Bamboo Island. The tour guide and the coach were playing beach football there, and the Thai little black fat boy had a lot of fun.
There are iced fruits and drinks throughout the trip. When you are tired, you can come here to have a good meal. I have to sigh again that life is so beautiful. It's time to gather and continue to go to Mosquito Island. Mosquito Island got its name because there is a mosquito hole on the island, which is full of countless mosquitoes. Because this island is a reef island, the ship cannot dock and there is no beach on the island.
So we went snorkeling around it for the second time. It was really great to do it twice a day. The sea water was also very beautiful. Various tropical fish swam around and we had a lot of fun. There was a small episode in the middle. Miss Bear got water in her nose, so she was lost in the sea and hugged the rabbit An Chuyu. It was like she had grabbed a life-saving straw. Haha.
But the goggles were accidentally lost. Yunluo was thinking about his wife and didn't go to pick it up. He was fined 500b. But as long as people are safe, everything else is a surprise of the trip. Such a trip is more colorful, isn't it? Generally, snorkeling takes half an hour to an hour, depending on the time of each group.
After snorkeling, we will return to Phuket. Looking at the beautiful scenery, I really want to stay in the sea forever and dance with the little fishes. Time flies. We returned to the pier. We returned the rented camera and got our passports back. At this time, the tour guide started selling the videos and photos they took with the team. The video was 1800b per set, which was for everyone on the boat. It was about 40 minutes long, and everyone had a lot of shots.
The photos are in pairs. They were taken before boarding the ship. 150b per photo, with a unique Phuket photo frame, worth collecting. I would like to thank the manager of Lazy Cat Thailand in this travel note. Since Yunluo forgot to take the photos that he had paid for, he contacted the customer service. They all speak Chinese and helped to solve the problem quickly.
The manager sent someone to deliver the photos directly to Yunluo's hotel. This kind of service is really considerate. I will choose Lazy Cat's when I go to Thailand next time. I returned to the hotel around 5 o'clock. I still chose 711. Yunluo and An Chuyu established a deep friendship with the 711 children in Thailand. Then after a full meal, they still took a drive to see the night view.
Preparing for the last day of Phuket Island tour tomorrow. Reply to larrydongdong12th floorlarrydongdong OP posted: 2015-03-2900:186. Twilight City --- Chiang Mai. Originally planned to stay in Chiang Mai for four days, and go to Pai for two days in the middle. Later, because Pai was so beautiful, I decided to give up Chiang Mai for one day.
Following the footsteps of Lost in Thailand, we headed to Chiang Mai. When the plane landed, we felt a bit of coolness. The temperature was lower than Phuket, not particularly hot. But the air was filled with the smell of burning mountains. The staff at the airport will write down the address for you, and according to your standard price of 150b, you will arrive at Yunluo Hotel.
Actually, Chiang Mai Airport is very close to the ancient city, and there is no traffic jam in Chiang Mai. It only takes 20 minutes to get there. On the way back, I booked a shuttle service from the hotel. It cost 200b and it only took 15 minutes to get to the airport. The cozytel hotel is very fresh and clean. There are edible fruits on the tree at the door. The enthusiastic old Thai even let Yunluo and Miss Xiaoxiong taste them, and asked Yunluo and An Chuyu to keep it a secret, haha.
The room was also very nice, with new facilities. Everything looked so clean and comfortable. There were glass bottles of mineral water in the refrigerator, which was the first time I saw it, and it tasted great. We set off after resting. Everyone must remember to ask for free maps in your hotel, which are all in Chinese and very practical!
Especially Chiang Mai. The ancient city is like the capital, square, with clear divisions of east, west, south and north. With a map in hand, it is easy and pleasant to travel around Chiang Mai. The hotel also provides motorcycle rental services. I decisively bought one. It is a very beautiful lamb. The price is a little cheaper than Phuket, and the oil is also cheaper.
Soon the motorcycle guy delivered the motorcycle, a new and beautiful green lamb. At the same time, I felt that the staff in Chiang Mai were more serious and rigorous. They actively asked you to take various photos of the motorcycle! Other places did not require it, but Yunluo and An Chuyu had to take photos themselves to avoid being wronged.
After completing the formalities, we rode off to refuel. It was almost 1 o'clock, and Yunluo and Miss Xiaoxiong were both hungry. However, there was no gas in the car, so we resolutely went to find a gas station and asked several people along the way. Finally, we saw a friendly gas station. Then we went to 711 to buy lunch and prepared to eat it when we returned.
Results. We searched for a hotel for a long time. We were not familiar with the road for the first time and arrived at nearly 2 o'clock. There was a small episode in the middle, which was also the only personal injury accident in this trip. Miss Bear's feet were burned, and Mr. Rabbit was very distressed. Because the exhaust pipe of the motorcycle was too hot, Miss Bear's feet were pressed against it and a big blister appeared instantly.
I rushed to the pharmacy and bought some burn cream. It was hot in Chiang Mai at noon, so I was definitely not happy with the burn. I went to the pharmacy again in the afternoon and bought some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs. I used two together. The waiter said: two together, two days is ok! It turned out that the pain was gone after two days, although the blisters were still there. Google Maps!
This is a magic tool. When I was abroad, Baidu Maps and the like were all out of service. Only the awesome Google Maps was super useful! Yun Luo had forgotten about this magic tool at first, so he didn't find the Chedilong Temple and made a certain bear unhappy. So, all male comrades, in order to keep An Chuyu from getting angry, Google Maps is necessary!
After a hearty meal, we set out to see the ancient temples. Since there are too many temples in the ancient city, we decided to go to the most famous Wat Chedi Luang first. Google Maps navigation was quite accurate and we went straight to our destination. There are many monks in the temples in Chiang Mai, and they are absolutely not allowed to have physical contact with women. Remember.
The heads of Thai children are very sacred and cannot be touched casually. Wat Chedi Luang (watchediluang), also known as the Great Pagoda Temple. Founded in 1411, it is the most famous of the six major temples in Chiang Mai. Together with Wat Phra Singh, it is the most prestigious temple in Chiang Mai. The tall Lanna-style pagoda in the temple was built in 1441 and destroyed in an earthquake in the 16th century.
But it is still the most magnificent building in the city. There are 6 elephant head statues on the south side of the tower. Five of them are fakes that were later repaired with cement. Only the one on the far right, which is made of bricks, is the real one. Unfortunately, the nose and ears have been damaged by years of wind and sun. Located in the northeast of the ancient city, it was built at the same time as the ancient city. It is the first temple in the city and also the oldest temple.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
There are two precious Buddha statues in the temple, and the crystal Buddha statue is taken out every April 1st to go around the city. It was almost 5 o'clock after visiting Chedi Luang Temple, so I was ready to eat the legendary authentic Thai food heuanphen. Don't ask for directions. Just use Google Maps.
This restaurant has a dual personality. It sells food by the water during the day and serves romantic dinners at night. It is very popular with tourists. The decoration and layout are quite traditional Thai. The food looks good. A Taiwanese magazine even introduced its imperial set menu. When Yunluo and An Chuyu came, there were not as many people as rumored, and they had to queue up. Yunluo and An Chuyu were the only ones at a table upstairs.
Yunluo and An Chuyu had been wondering if they had come to the wrong place. However, when the candlelight dinner started and the authentic Thai dishes were served, all doubts disappeared. As time went on, the business became more prosperous. They ordered a set meal. There were eight dishes in total and a bowl of Thai dessert.
I ordered a beer, and the total bill, including the tip for the waiter, was less than 500b! This is simply free. After a good meal and a good drink, I also learned the two languages from the Thai man downstairs. The Thai man kept speaking clumsy Thai Chinese, and I couldn't tell the difference between left and right, flat and retroflex tongue, haha, he was very friendly and cute.
Go straight to the night market. Speaking of Chiang Mai's night market, let's popularize some knowledge. Generally, people go to the Chang Khlan Road Night Market. Because it is open every day. The largest market in Chiang Mai is the weekend night market. If you want to go to the Sunday night market in Chiang Mai, it is recommended to go early. Although it ends very late, many stalls will be removed by the end.
Many street food is cold. The time is from 15:00 to 22:00 every Sunday, and the peak time is after 7 pm. Enter from the east gate of Chiang Mai Ancient City, Tha Pae Gate. With Ratchadamnoen Road as the main axis, you can see the Sunday night market where vendors gather. If you want to see the weekend night market, be sure to arrange your schedule and leave Sunday for Chiang Mai.
The Changkang Road Night Market is also quite large and you can spend a long time there. You can find all kinds of Thai souvenirs there. In fact, if you see something you like, you can bargain hard and buy it if you think it is good enough. Otherwise, you may not be able to buy it in other places. The price is not much more expensive. Yunluo and An Chuyu bought two pairs of Thai trousers at this night market.
It is very comfortable to wear and is a good companion for housewives and men. 100b a pair. After Yunluo's verification in various places, it is basically the cheapest. Later, Yunluo bought 5 pairs at the weekend night market, and they would not be cheaper by 1b. This pair of pants is super popular. Everyone in the family thinks they bought too little.
It's the one below, shot in Pai County. There are food stalls, bars and streetwalkers next to the night market, which is very exciting. Yunluo and An Chuyu walked around for more than an hour, and Xiong Bao's feet were tired, plus the burns on his feet, so he decisively went back to the hotel. Chiang Mai is far less prosperous than Phuket at night, and the streets are bustling with people after 10 o'clock.
Everyone probably closed their doors to rest. Everything was quiet again. Chiang Mai at night made people feel more comfortable. Back at the hotel, Miss Bear screamed before going to bed! It turned out that there was a gecko on the pillow. It seems that people and nature really live in harmony. In the end, the gecko brother who couldn't be driven away was brutally killed by Yunluo.
I confess here, deeply. Brother Hu, please don't look for Yunluo. Then I fell asleep peacefully. In the morning, I got up and made Yunluo and An Chuyu's favorite Thai instant noodles. In the past half month in Thailand, I almost tried all the flavors of instant noodles. Then I went out to Shuanglong Temple.
I went to 711 to buy bread for lunch. Here are some information collected by Yunluo to share with you. Thanks to the original author. "Suthep" means "fairy friend" in Thai. Local Chinese also call this mountain "Meeting Fairy Mountain" or "Meeting Fairy Mountain". Suthep Mountain is 1,667 meters above sea level. It is not particularly tall, but the hillside is full of colorful roses.
The top of the mountain is surrounded by white clouds and has beautiful scenery. Walk up 300 steps to the viewing platform on the top of the mountain to enjoy the panoramic view of Chiang Mai city. It is a natural observation deck in Chiang Mai. On Doi Suthep Mountain, there are famous Doi Suthep Temple, Bhuping Palace and Wat Suan Dok, which is a must-see when going to Doi Suthep Mountain. On Doi Suthep Mountain, there are two long dragons on both sides of the 306-step long steps under the main hall, so it is called Doi Suthep Temple.
The pagodas and Buddha statues in the main hall are magnificent, and the observation deck outside the hall overlooks the city of Chiang Mai. In addition to the whole city going up the mountain on Buddha's Birthday, Chiang Mai University also has a tradition of freshmen walking to Doi Suthep Temple to worship Buddha in mid-July every year. Remember to wear long pants and long sleeves, at this time, you can see the benefits of those Thai pants, haha, cool and practical. Tickets: 30 baht per person. (To be continued...)
