Business hours are 06:00-18:00. Transportation: You can choose to ride your own bike or rent a car from Chiang Mai University. Remind everyone, if you are prone to motion sickness or are sensitive to the smell of gasoline, try to sit in the front row. Some people sit in the back, and the winding mountain road plus the pungent smell of gasoline make people feel uncomfortable and want to vomit from time to time.
If you rent a car yourself, you must bargain to get the lowest price. Yunluo and Miss Xiaoxiong chose to ride by themselves. Yunluo is very confident in his driving skills due to years of driving experience. However, I have seen travel notes where some hikers were injured, so if you are not good at driving, it is recommended to rent a tutu car, otherwise it is really dangerous, a 10-kilometer mountain road.
There are all kinds of sharp turns, which are still very difficult. Especially there are drainage ditches beside the road, and a wrong turn can easily cause damage to both the driver and the vehicle. The most important thing when going out is safety, so please make sure it is up to you. Yunluo and Anchuyu rode for about an hour, not very fast. Because there are many bends on the mountain road, they found the feeling in Taiwanese movies and arrived at their destination very comfortably.
After parking the car, we set off for Shuanglong Temple. This section of the road is like the Stone Stele Mountain in Yunlu's hometown, haha. It is said to have 306 steps, but it is actually very quick to climb up. For children like Yunlu and An Chuyu who grew up on Sanlu milk powder, climbing several steps in one breath is not difficult! When you climb to the top, you will reach the entrance of Shuanglong Temple. You need to buy a ticket, take off your shoes and enter the main hall.
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is really beautiful, representing the highest level of temples in Chiang Mai. The Buddha inside is basically not photographed, showing respect and custom. Please see the pictures for other scenery. Sitting comfortably with Miss Bear in Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, I calmed down and felt the purity and tranquility deep in my heart.
After a good rest, Yunluo and An Chuyu left the hall and had lunch on the rest seats outside. The sandwiches from 711 were delicious. They went down the 306 steps and bought delicious freshly squeezed passion fruit juice for 15b each. It was super delicious. After they were full, they set off and headed straight to Chiang Mai University.
In fact, Chiang Mai University is on the way back to the old city of Chiang Mai, right after you get off Suthep Mountain. Many people say that Chiang Mai University is closed now and you have to pay an entrance fee. They will have their own sightseeing bus to take you around. Yunluo and An Chuyu did see the sightseeing bus carrying tourists. The experience is: if you are riding a scooter, people may think you are an international student.
Don't mind him, he won't stop you, just step on the gas and rush in, haha. No one will care, and no one will let you out after you get in, just take pictures and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Chiang Mai University is very big, maybe it's summer vacation, I didn't see any student girls, it was very quiet. The scenery is beautiful. Worth a visit.
After leaving Chiang Mai University, I went straight to the legendary Nimman Road. I used Google Maps and arrived there in no time. I went straight to Mangotango, a mango-themed beverage shop. Many guides recommend it, and I tried it myself. It was really awesome. The mango sticky rice tasted just right, and the freshly squeezed mango juice was especially delicious. Some people even ordered fresh mangoes.
They all seem to enjoy the food. Nimman Road is actually an area, which includes many streets. But it is not as fresh and developed as Nanluoguxiang and Houhai in Beijing, so after eating, I just walked around and took a few photos and left. Because I booked a massage in the evening. I need to go back and take a shower.
There are two most famous massage parlors in Chiang Mai. Let me share some basic information about them. Chiang Mai Women's Prison Massage and Lila. The former was founded by Ms. Naowaratthanasrisutharat, the former warden of Chiang Mai Women's Prison, to provide employment opportunities and support for reintegration into society for newly released female prisoners. During her 40-year career, Ms. Thanasrisutharat
Having witnessed the unfortunate situation of many female prisoners who were not accepted by society after being released, she has been thinking and exploring how to help them quickly integrate into the new community and become self-reliant. The initial idea was to strictly select minor offenders who met the requirements and provide them with massage-related vocational training during their sentences. However, these female prisoners often suffered discrimination from employers after they were released from prison.
It is difficult to find a job, and it is easy to fall into a vicious cycle of reoffending and imprisonment. In addition to the public welfare sentiment, the massage skills of this shop are really good. In fact, these technicians received 180 hours of massage training jointly provided by Chiang Mai Women's Prison and Skill Development Institute while serving their sentences, and then successfully passed the assessment of Chiang Mai Public Health Bureau.
The basic skills are quite solid. In addition, it has a clear market positioning and is close to the people, with a high cost performance. What is the difference between Chiang Mai Women's Prison Massage and Lilathaimassage? Chiang Mai Women's Prison Massage and Lilamassage, which has 5 branches, are not the same as everyone says.
The difference between the two is that the technicians of the former are female prisoners who are still serving their sentences, while the technicians of lilamassage are released from prison. Tourists who come to Chiang Mai all come to these two places. Some people even mistook the hotel where Yunluo and Anchu met as a women's prison. Yunluo and Miss Xiaoxiong decisively chose lila.
Because it is very close to Yunluo and An Chuyu and is the most famous. Make an appointment! These shops all require an appointment. Yunluo and An Chuyu made an appointment one day in advance and paid a deposit of 200b. It starts at 7pm and closes at 10pm. Yunluo and An Chuyu ordered Miss Bear: Aloe Vera Full Body Care Package, which is almost the most expensive.
1200b, 2 hours and 15 minutes, good for sunburn repair. Mr. Rabbit: Full body massage package, 550b, 2 hours, strongly recommended, because it covers all parts of the body, Yunluo thinks this is the only way to experience the essence of Thai massage. Since Yunluo and An Chuyu booked almost 2000b.
I gave Yunluo and An Chuyu a single room, because An Chuyu was almost naked. The massage was still a little painful, but the foot massage was definitely itchy, a little tormenting. Finally, I gave a good review, very authentic, and the service was very good. Remember to tip, 50b for two hours.
They really worked hard. Due to the change of the itinerary, I only stayed in Chiang Mai for the last day. It was already afternoon when I returned to Chiang Mai. The car stopped at Thapae Gate and walked back for 20 minutes. The weather was still quite hot. I bought lemon ice cream for Miss Little Bear. Finally got my dear Yunluo's passport back. I took a short rest in the hotel.
We set off at 4 o'clock to go to Wat Chiang Man first and then to the night market. This time we rented a very cool motorcycle, 150c displacement, I recommend everyone to rent it once, it is very fun to ride, very powerful, and comfortable to sit. There is a lot of space under it. It is only 50b more expensive, but it is very suitable. Wat Chiang Man + Wat Phra Singh + Wat Chedi Luang are known as the three major temples in the ancient city, you must go.
Xiongtu went straight to Wat Chiang Man. Although Yunluo and Miss Bear were not interested in visiting temples, they could still feel the power of faith and respect in their hearts. After leaving Wat Chiang Man, they went straight to the weekend night market. The weekend night market is really big. If you visit every street, it will take more than 3 hours.
Yunluo and Anchuyu didn't walk all the way and walked for more than 2 hours. There are all kinds of small things in it. There are also food and drinks, which is very cool. You can buy whatever you want, but remember to bargain. The wallet and vase I brought back for Miss Xiaoxiong's girlfriend, and the elephant toys and pants I bought for my family were all found here. The price is very cheap and the quality is very good.
Come quickly, dear. There are all kinds of elderly people doing charity sales to donate to children who have no money to go to school. There is also a blind band and a little girl singing solo. Although the per capita income in Thailand is very low, there are no beggars everywhere like in China. I was exhausted after visiting the night market. I went to 711 and bought 10 instant noodles and a bunch of Thai delicacies, haha.
The waiter was crying. Is he here to resell instant noodles? Haha. I have a flight at noon tomorrow. I want to go to see the other two of the three most famous temples in the ancient city early in the morning. Good night, sweet dreams. I got up very early in the morning and prepared to go to the famous temples in the ancient city. I went straight to Wat Phra Singh and Wat Pandao. Wat Phra Singh is one of the three most famous temples in the ancient city, it is a must-see.
Let me introduce Wat Phan Tao, and then the pictures. Wat Phan Tao, also known as the Teak Temple, is just around the corner from the Big Pagoda. There is an ancient and exquisite wooden hall in the temple, which is built entirely of teak. It is designed in the pure northern Thai Lanna style and has a history of more than 280 years. It is indeed a treasure-level hall in Chiang Mai.
It is also one of the few wooden buildings. The Thai word phantao means "1000 furnaces". It was named because it was once a casting site for Buddha statues, the main temple for casting Buddha statues. Compared with other magnificent temples, Pandao Temple is particularly simple and elegant. The main hall of Pandao Temple is composed of teak boards that have been removed from the mold.
There are 28 huge teak pillars supporting the temple, and the temple has a mountain-shaped roof with a snake pattern, inlaid in colorful mosaic lenses. Inside the temple are ancient temple bells, some ceramics, several Lanna-style gilded wooden Buddha statues, and several antique cabinets, which are filled with ancient Buddhist scriptures copied on palm leaves.
You must go to Pai when you come to Thailand. If you like fresh and simple things, if you want to really feel the vacation, you must go to Pai. For Pai, Yunluo spent more than 1,000 yuan, which is enough to show that Yunluo fell in love with him at first sight. First, in order to increase the time to Pai by two days, I changed the AirAsia ticket, and the change fee was 450 yuan.
Then, in order to stay here for one more day, I gave up one night's accommodation in Chiang Mai, gave up the tickets I had bought, and stayed here for one more night, which cost 600 yuan. But in the end, when I recalled it with Miss Xiaoxiong, I often said that this money was worth it! You must stay in Pai for at least three days to basically have a good time. If you want to take a vacation, bask in the sun, read books and listen to music.
Then you can stay for a week. The price in Pai is very low, the scenery is super good, especially suitable for couples to travel. Tickets: This is more important. When I came, I booked it at the hotel one day in advance. It was 200b from Chiang Mai to Pai. There will be a car to pick you up directly at the hotel. I recommend you do the same. Otherwise, it is cheaper to buy your own ticket.
But it is not cost-effective to take a taxi to Aya Station. You also need to buy the return ticket in advance. Yunluo and An Chuyu bought it one day in advance, but they changed it once. As a result, Yunluo and An Chuyu changed it once, and then they wanted to stay one more night, so the ticket was invalidated. Everyone should plan their time well, otherwise it will be a waste.
You can buy it when you get off at Aya Station, 150b per ticket, and you can also get on the bus here. Vomit, vomit, vomit! The mountain road in Pai County is famous. Everyone has heard about its horror in the guide. It is said that 8 out of 10 people vomit. However, no one vomited during the journey of Yunluo and An Chuyu. Yunluo and Miss Xiaoxiong enjoyed the scenery all the way.
On the way back, only one Korean girl was vomiting all over the place. Yunluo felt a little uncomfortable, but she felt better after sniffing the Eight Immortals Nose for a while. We took a 15-minute break and everyone bought ice cream or something. Overall, it was okay. I didn't worry too much. I gave it my all for the beautiful scenery, haha.
After going around the legendary 700 bends, we finally arrived at Pai around 12 o'clock. The whole journey took about 3 and a half hours. After getting off the bus, you must go to Aya to rent a motorcycle immediately, otherwise all the good things will be gone. Rent a car. Buy a return ticket and go to the hotel. Most hotels have free pick-up services. Just call them and they will come to pick you up.
Yunluo and Anchuyu's hotel was actually very close, but they still drove over to pick us up. The service was great. I was really shocked when I saw the hotel. It was much more beautiful than the pictures on the Internet. It felt very close to nature, as if you were in a forest resort. The cost-effectiveness of this hotel was so high that you couldn't find another one in Pai County.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Highly recommend. Later, Yunluo and An Chuyu went to almost every famous scenic spot and hotel, but they still thought this one was the best! Pictures speak louder than words! They still took the free map, which was a great map, and went to find food. The Tom Yum Goong and Thai rice noodles they had at the small shop opposite the bus station were super delicious.
The point is that this restaurant has the best ice green tea in Pai. Wow, it has become Miss Bear's favorite, at least one cup a day, not sweet and tastes really good! Then we set off for the southern tour. Here is a general overview. Pai itself is a small county. It is about three intersections long, which means you are almost out of the city after passing three traffic lights.
The city is mainly a place for foraging. Outside the city is a large plain. There are many small and fresh hotels, each of which can bring you endless surprises. There are mainly two routes to visit Pai County, the North Loop and the South Loop. The attractions on the South Loop are relatively close, so don't ride too fast on a motorcycle, or you may miss a certain attraction.
The attractions on the northern route are very remote. And it's hard to find. It takes some effort and you need to ask the locals. The tour can be divided into two loops. One is the northern loop. The north has more mountains, temples, and sunrises. The south has small and fresh hotels. Most people go to the south. If you are short on time, you can skip the north.
Pai South Route 1. The inverted yellow house, which is the first attraction on the southern route out of the city. 2. The pink house - a pink house with a girlish style, a pink jeep, and a pink coffee shop. 3. Maripai, which is the big tree swing - it is also a hotel with many people staying there. 4. Coffee in Love - the big yellow house, the filming location of the Thai movie Love in Pai.
5. Goodview---a green house, where many people watch the sunset. 6. Strawberry Garden---a must-visit place for fresh photos, with cute little rabbits and delicious strawberry juice. 8. World War II Bridge---a bit far from Pai County, about 9km away, and it takes a while to drive from the Strawberry Garden. It is inconvenient to go there without a motorcycle. The World War II Bridge is the southernmost attraction.
9. Tree House Resort Hotel-----From the map, after passing the World War II Bridge, there should be a left turn back to Pai County. 10. Main Temple - Watch the sunset. Pai County North Line 1. Sheephouse-----Follow Highway 1095 to a road diagonally opposite a small gas station, then turn right at a small intersection, turn left at a temple, and then turn right again.
You can see it when you go downhill. 2. Montisresort - about 700 meters past Pai Hospital - on the road of Aya, go all the way west. 3. Huaguo Village and Yunlai Since it was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and Rabbit and Bear loved taking pictures, we decisively walked slowly along the south line and filled up 50b of gas when we left the city.
The first stop was coffeeinlove. There were still a lot of people taking photos, so I took a few pictures. Then I continued to move forward. Every hotel was so fresh and beautiful, and I would stop to take a few pictures. Haha. Every hotel would make you want to raise your camera. Continue forward to the strawberry garden, which is a distance away.
It takes about 7-10 minutes to ride a motorcycle. No doubt, just follow this road and you will reach the lovely strawberry farm. There is delicious strawberry juice and various beautiful scenery to see and take pictures. After playing in the strawberry farm, go to Erzhan Bridge. It was almost 5 o'clock and the temperature began to drop.
It takes 10-15 minutes to ride from the strawberry garden to the Erzhan Bridge. Please be careful and follow the road. The two of us walked hand in hand on the Erzhan Bridge in the sunset, feeling the history, the love, and each other's hearts. It was almost 6 o'clock when we finished visiting the Erzhan Bridge. The sun had set and it was time to go back.
If you don't stop, go back from Erzhan Bridge at a speed of 60 mph, and you will reach the county town in about 20 minutes. The temperature difference between morning and night is huge, and it is very cold to ride a motorcycle after 6 o'clock. Be sure to wear a coat or long pants. Pai under the night, the outside of the city is so quiet, the attractions are closed, but the city is bustling.
There are very few motorcycles in the night market, which is the central area. Everyone walks out to find food and visit the night market. Tonight, Yunluo and An Chuyu chose the steak buffet in front of the hotel. It is very cost-effective. After ordering two steaks and beer, other fruits and salads are self-service. There is also a resident band. It is romantic and high-end. (To be continued..)
