It's not easy to meet fellow Chinese in a big city with few Chinese tourists. There are so many things to talk about. Yunluo and An Chuyu had the same itinerary, and later met again in Sukhothai and Chiang Mai. Life is full of encounters. Haha, I also met a foreign girl at that time. In the next few days, including Yunluo and An Chuyu went to Chiang Mai.

We met in different occasions for several consecutive days. Is this fate? This is the hotel where Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed in Sukhothai. It is really big. Yunluo and An Chuyu lived in the new city. To go to the old city, you need to take a two-wheeled car. I remember it was 30b per person. The historical sites of Sukhothai are divided into three directions: central, northern and western.

The central part is large enough to be explored, and the northern and western parts are outside the city, so it's also nice to ride a bicycle around. Riding on the country roads, you'll occasionally come across one or two ruins, and it feels like Jay Chou's song "Floating in the blue sky with the wind, a cloud falls in front of you, and is molded into..."

Sukhothai has the longest history in Thailand. Thailand's history can be divided into three stages according to the capital of its dynasty, the Sukhothai Dynasty, the Ayutthaya Dynasty, and the Bangkok Dynasty. The Bangkok Dynasty is now the Rama Dynasty. The buildings of each era have their own architectural styles. Careful students can slowly compare them by continuing to take the bus from Sukhothai to Chiang Mai.

We arrived in Chiang Mai in the evening and had some snacks at Chiang Mai Gate near the hotel. There is a small night market here, full of food. Foodies should not miss it. Grilled squid is 100b, worth a try. I rented a bicycle at the Saturday night market and went to the literary and fresh gathering place - Nimman Road. I heard that it is similar to Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, but with fewer people.

I encountered a flower exhibition on the way to iberry. Don't ask Yunluo why there are so many encounters along the way. I am so willful. Haha, Chiang Mai University. The school emblem of Chiang Mai University is like this. Tasting authentic Thai fried noodles again, the owner of the milk tea shop next to it is very nice. When Yunluo asked him how to get to Doi Suthep, he immediately stopped his work and asked others to help look after the shop.

I personally took Yunluo to walk a distance to wait for the bus. It is said that the Shuangtiao bus station to Doi Suthep is next to Chiang Mai University, but Chiang Mai University is so big. Where is it? Brother Yunluo asked many people for directions and finally found it! 50b per person, but we have to wait for 10 people to gather before setting off.

While waiting for the bus, I met a handsome Italian guy. I heard that he had been waiting for more than half an hour, but Yunluo was the only one there. Damn, what the hell is going on! Yunluo had to go back to return the bike before 7 o'clock! Later, I was lucky. Two groups of people came at once, and one of them was my peers from China. The journey will not be lonely anymore.

gogogo night falls on Saturday night market, isn't it quite lively? It feels like this is no longer just a night market, but more like the weekly festive rockyou candlelight dinner. In Thailand, Yunluo has always followed the principle of eating small and frequent meals, because you never know what delicious food you will encounter in the next second, and if you are full, you can only stare and worry.

Walk and eat. Walk and eat, the market once again came to Nimman Road to find a coffee shop. Slowly write postcards and enjoy the afternoon time mangotango Do you think this black warrior has an inexplicable sense of humor. "Hey, I'm calling you, wait for Yunluo" Sawadee Ka is the campus of Chiang Mai University again.

Yunluo thinks that the campus of the Faculty of Medicine of Chiang Mai University is the most beautiful Sunday night market, which runs through the entire ancient city and has more people than the Saturday night market. The legendary Feng Feifei pork trotter rice. Next to the North Gate of Chiang Mai. Meet you again. In the evening, I booked a one-day tour of Chiang Rai in Han Chiang Mai, 800b per person, and I will pick you up from the hotel in the morning. Hot spring boiled eggs. White temple. Yunluo is a little confused here.

It is obviously a Buddhist holy place, why is there the Yin Yang fish Tai Chi diagram of Yunluo Greater China? Yunluo has not read much. Don't bully Yunluo for not knowing anything. The houses at the entrance of the long-necked tribe village show that they are somewhat unable to accept their aesthetics. The Black Temple is a private museum of a local tycoon artist, full of animal corpses. It's no wonder that the Thai government has blacklisted him before.

After checking in successfully, we went to the night market near Changkang Road (nightbrazza) for dinner. Since I didn't know where to get a tuk-tuk or songthaew, I walked directly, and it took about half an hour to get there. I found lemongrass, which seemed good according to the reviews, and ordered pineapple fried rice, green papaya salad, tom yum goong and big coconut, a total of 385b.

The pineapple fried rice and green papaya salad were average, but the Tom Yum Goong was the best I had in Thailand. The service staff was very nice, but they could hardly speak Chinese.

After finishing lemongrass, I went to the night market nearby. There were mostly clothes and souvenirs. There was a square-like area inside nightbrazza, with snack stalls next to it and performances on the stage in the middle. It felt good.

After a quick stroll, I went back. When I passed Thapae Gate, I wanted to go to Boots to buy banana boat sunscreen, but was told that it would be available tomorrow. I bought breakfast for tomorrow at the nearby 711, and then took a tuk-tuk back. I was afraid that I would not have enough time to book a day trip the next day, so I booked it directly on Taobao, 133rmb/person.

However, according to Lotte, it was still in time to book after arriving. At around 7:20 in the morning, the driver and tour guide came to the hotel to pick up Yunluo and An Chuyu. It was a 14-seat minivan. Yunluo and An Chuyu were the first to get on the bus. After the bus was full, it went straight to Chiang Rai. The first stop: hot spring foot bath.

Although it was very hot, it was very comfortable! When I first entered the water, it was so hot that I couldn't stay down. I felt incredible when I saw the people next to me, but after I got used to it, it was really comfortable. Second stop: White Temple (Lingguang Temple) "The White Temple does not represent heaven, but hell." I feel that the White Temple is quite popular now, and many people go there, both Chinese and foreigners.

When Yunluo and An Chuyu went there, the interior of the White Temple was being renovated, but it didn't affect the visit much, because the visit time was only about an hour, and all the time was used up just by taking photos, and there was no time to visit the museum next to it. The White Temple is really beautiful, dazzlingly white in the sun, and with the blue sky and green trees, you can easily take beautiful photos.

The legendary golden toilet, but Yunluo didn't go in... After visiting the White Temple, the tour guide took Yunluo and Anchu to the restaurant opposite for lunch. Each person had a meal card with a limit of 80b. It was usually enough to order a staple food and a drink. If there was 10b left, you could buy a bottle of mineral water. The food was average, and Coconut was the most reliable.

The third stop: Black Temple "The Black Temple is not a temple, but a private exhibition hall." The owner is really rich and willful. Just looking at this door, I feel very awesome. Inside, all kinds of crocodile skins, snake skins, sheep bones, etc. are exhibited. There are many exhibition halls, mainly in dark colors, and the shapes are very beautiful. After visiting the Black Temple, I took a car back. After more than two hours of driving, I returned to the ancient city of Chiang Mai at five or six o'clock.

Although the entire journey is longer than the tour time, it is still recommended for those who are not prone to motion sickness. After tidying up at the hotel, Yunluo and An Chuyu set off again. Today's dinner was arranged at a self-service hot pot near Ximen. When the driver sent Yunluo and An Chuyu to Chiang Mai, someone chose to go to Qianren Hot Pot.

But it is said that Qianren Hotpot has been occupied by Chinese people, so I chose a less popular recommendation - ppbuffet. I took Googlemap and slowly walked to Ximen. ppbuffet is on the side of the road nearby, not difficult to find. It seems that most people who go there are Thais. I rarely see Chinese people. 190b/person, a piece of iron plate for barbecue, and a small clay pot.

There are quite a few varieties of things, including ice cream, fruit, and you can make your own shaved ice. Drinks are charged, 35b for a large bottle of Coke, 15b for a bucket of ice. A total of 340b for two people. Very satisfying. After dinner, we walked along the river and slowly walked back to the hotel. It was a one-day tour booked on Taobao. 255rmb/person, Meicheng Scenic Area.

The driver came to pick us up around 9:00 in the morning. Since we forgot to buy breakfast last night, we ate it directly at the hotel. It cost 30b/person, two slices of toast + jam. The journey to the elephant camp was much closer than the black and white temples. We soon arrived at the first stop, the orchid garden. The first stop: the orchid garden and the butterfly valley. There were not many orchids.

There weren't many butterflies, but there was a big butterfly that was very shy. Yunluo, An Chuyu and a bunch of people took turns taking pictures with it... The second stop: the elephant show. It is recommended not to sit in the first two rows, because the elephants will spray you with water... Before the show starts, the elephants will be taken to the river to take a bath. You can follow them to watch.

Yunluo and An Chuyu went to watch it alone, while the other person was responsible for occupying the seat. The elephant performances included dancing, playing football, massage, riding bicycles, painting, etc. It was quite interesting, but some people think that elephant training is cruel. This is a painting by an elephant... Lunch is a buffet, the food is very ordinary, but since we will have to jump through the jungle later, there is no need to eat too much...

The third stop: Jungle Jump. There are about a dozen platforms, Yunluo couldn't count them all. Some have variable speeds, some are vertical, and some have river crossings. Overall, it's quite exciting, especially the vertical one, which feels more exciting than a bungee jumping machine... Friends who are afraid can ask the instructor to slow down a bit, and those who are brave can do whatever they want.

Children who are not afraid can also go, but it is not recommended for the elderly. Unfortunately, you cannot bring a camera during the leap, so you can't take photos. The scenic spot will take photos for you, 30 RMB per photo after you get off, and there is also a small photo frame. However, there is no electronic version, and the photo quality is average, so you need to laminate it as soon as possible after returning.

During the leap, the instructor will keep reminding you to tip 100b. Of course, it is up to you to decide whether to tip or not, and there is no hard requirement. The fourth stop: riding an elephant. Finally, you can get super close to this huge cute creature! In fact, you sit on a stool on it, and there is a master driving in front.

There are also bananas for sale on the road, 40b a bunch, and the master will stop on the way to let you feed the elephant slowly. The road is quite rugged, and there is a section of the road where you have to wade through water, but it is relatively stable to ride on it. The selfie stick is not enough, you can ask a friend on another elephant to take a photo of you. The elephant will ask you for bananas. The fifth stop: riding a bull cart.

Compared to riding an elephant, this is just average, nothing special, just sitting in a bullock cart for a circle, it feels like less than ten minutes. The sixth stop: bamboo raft. It's also average, the time is quite long, you can look at the scenery and relax, it's quite pleasant. Then the whole trip is over. The guide's attitude is quite good.

It's just that the staff will ask you for tips after each project, which is a bit annoying. Because the journey is short, I returned to the ancient city earlier than yesterday. After a little tidying up at the hotel, I walked to Lila Massage (I originally preferred to go to the Women's Prison for a massage, but it is said that it closes very early). There were not many people, and I waited for 20 minutes before I arrived at Yunluo and Anchuyu.

The environment is good, the set meal is 550b, two hours, full body massage with heat compress, the master is very good. Yunluo's old bones are crackling... After lila, I walked to Huenphen (I don't know how to pronounce it at all...) for dinner. I also found it on the reviews. The environment is good and it seems to be popular. I have to wait for a table after 8 o'clock.

I ordered a 380b set meal for two people. I really don't know what I ate. There were a lot of plates, each small. The problem is that I can't get used to it. Is this the taste of northern Thai food? I really don't like it. I regret it in many ways. On the way back, I came across Wat Phra Singh. I was almost back to the hotel and found that I couldn't eat anymore. I was still not full. It is said that there are many stalls outside the north gate.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

So they went directly to the North Gate to look for food. As a result, they didn't see anything when they went out. They only saw bars when they walked to the left for a while. There were no so-called snack stands, so they could only take a taxi to Tha Phae Gate to find food. As expected, Tha Phae Gate did not disappoint Yunluo and An Chuyu. There were many shops with lights on on the road on the right, and there were also some vendors. Yunluo and An Chuyu ordered some banana pancakes and barbecue.

Add a small pineapple and smoothie, and finally I can go back satisfied. I hailed a tuk-tuk for a long time, but no one was willing to go for 40b. Fortunately, Yunluo and An Chuyu finally stopped a tuk-tuk. 40b was the deal. p.s. The tour guides booked on Taobao are usually Chinese, but the tour guides only take you to various attractions. The explanations are relatively few.

These one-day tours do not provide water, so you need to bring your own water and kettle. You can also buy it at the scenic spot. Meicheng Elephant Camp provides ice water, which you can fill yourself. After entering the elephant camp scenic spot, the order of the itinerary is arranged by the tour guide according to the flow of people on site, and there is no fixed order.

I continued to look for food at the north gate, but still found nothing. However, when I walked to the right, I found a bunch of small carts that had not yet opened. It was probably because Yunluo and An Chuyu got in the wrong direction last night and missed the snacks. Finally, I chose a noodle restaurant nearby. It looked very inconspicuous and should be mainly for locals.

35b for a bowl of meatball noodles, average portion, tasted OK. Although the North Gate is not as famous and lively as the Thapae Gate. But the combination of red flowers, green trees, and ruins has a more ancient city feel. Then there are various temples. Unknown temple 1. Wat Chiang Man next to the hotel Unknown temple 2. Wat Chedi Luang Wat Phra Singh Because I got up late in the morning, the whole trip was slightly delayed.

In addition, I didn't want to drag my luggage, so my plan to stroll around Nimman Road and have lunch was eventually squeezed out. I went to eat Thai roast chicken instead. The person who recommended this SP Thai roast chicken and Ximen Hotpot was the same person. Although it was a little off the beaten track, I could still find it by following Google. It's actually not far from Wat Phra Singh.

I could smell the aroma before I even found the restaurant. The food was quite popular. 150b per head, plus a green papaya salad, two bowls of rice and two bottles of soda, less than 300b for two people. After eating, I picked up my luggage from the hotel and headed to the airport. With the guidance of Lotte, I went to the airport from Beimen Shuangtiao, and arrived smoothly for 40b per person.

Arriving at Krabi Airport two hours later, it was already getting dark. Krabi Airport is very small, and although the shuttle bus ticket office is not particularly conspicuous, you can find it if you walk around and look carefully. It costs 90b per ticket to Krabi Town, and the bus departed not long after I bought it. The sky was getting darker and darker along the way, and it started to rain!

We were so worried that we would get soaked when we got off the bus with our big bags, but it didn't rain when we got to Krabi Town! No! It wasn't raining yet... because as soon as we got off the bus, the rain started to follow us... Yunluo and An Chuyu looked at the bustling street, and suddenly all the stalls were closed. They had thought they would have dinner here, but in the end, there was nothing left!

Fortunately, the hotel where they were staying tonight was very close to the bus station, and it only took a few minutes to get there. Yunluo and An Chuyu could only settle down and solve the problem of food and clothing. The hotel was slightly cleaner than the one in Chiang Mai, 280b a night, very close to the bus station, not far from the Krabi Night Market, and the downstairs was also very lively. As a transit station, it is still worth recommending.

The hotel can directly book the boat ticket to Phi Phi Island the next day, 300b/person. Yunluo saw that it was cheaper than the guide, so he immediately decided to stay. By the way, I want to complain about the hotel's proprietress, who was not at home when Yunluo checked in, and the clerk helped Yunluo check in. As a result, when booking the boat ticket to Phi Phi Island later, she actually asked Yunluo why he stayed in the room without paying!

Yunluo said your clerk didn’t tell her to pay now… She said she was typing on the computer, how could she know to charge you, why didn’t you just go to Yunluo and pay? ! Yunluo was speechless at the time, there was no “boss” written on your head, and you were not at the counter, your clerk didn’t ask Yunluo to pay, and then blamed Yunluo…

After everything was done, the rain stopped, but the vendors were gone. They could only use Google to go to the night market to see if there was any hope. As soon as they reached the river, they encountered many food stalls. Hungry Yunluo and An Chuyu found a stall that smelled good and started eating. A simple seafood fried rice and a curry seafood rice, plus a coconut and mango smoothie.

180b to pay the bill. After dinner, I returned to the hotel and went to 711 to buy breakfast for the next day. I also bought a sunscreen. The result was tragic. I couldn't find a banana boat, so I had to buy a round one that was also pa50+++ to make up for it. I didn't see the banana boat until I paid the bill... This is not embarrassing enough... I went back to the room and opened the package, and found that it was not sunscreen! (To be continued...)
