Chapter 1273 Starry Sky



But in short, it is rich enough to make a 90kg man burp. I only eat this bowl of chicken soup with rice here. I never see it in other restaurants. Even if I order chicken soup, it doesn't taste like this. I wonder if anyone who has learned Thai cooking knows this dish?

It would be even better if you could tell Yunluo how to make it (Yunluo will definitely trade your recipe for the baking she made herself!) Even though they don't know much about history or Buddhism, it doesn't affect Yunluo and An Chuyu's fascination with this small town. After breakfast, they rented the hotel's scooter, booked a minibus to Pai, and set out to visit the ancient city.

The following picture shows the route of Yunluo and An Chuyu's activities in Chiang Mai that day. The names of each place, temple or restaurant, are marked in Chinese and English on the left, correcting some wrong places in the guide. These are the addresses that Yunluo and An Chuyu actually walked down. You can take it with you on the road.

Yunluo and Anchuyu basically followed the chronological order from a. Of course, some places were particularly favorite and they may have been there multiple times. Anyway, with this map, you can go anywhere. Please click to see the large map! It shows the entire itinerary of Yunluo and Anchuyu on the first day in Chiang Mai. It can be clearly seen that Yunluo and Anchuyu's activities were all in the old city.

All the locations marked in the above map will be explained below. The light brown areas on the map are slightly larger temples, so even friends who are not good at English can quickly find these temples according to the map. If you can't ride a motorcycle, a bicycle is also a good choice, because the old town is really small, and you can walk to where you want to go.

There are many one-way streets in Chiang Mai, so it is recommended to use Google Navigation when riding a motorcycle. It will plan the itinerary according to the one-way streets, which is very convenient. In Chiang Mai, you can often see Chinese couples riding motorcycles. The one in front drives, and the one behind looks at the navigation on the phone. Yunluo and Anchuyu are such a pair. If you stay in Chiang Mai for many days.

You can spend a day like Yunluo and An Chuyu, visiting temples and walking in alleys, and enjoy a massage indoors at noon when the sun is strongest. It is a fulfilling day without being too tiring. In the ancient city, there is no need for a set route. There is no need for a guide. It doesn't matter if you don't understand history or Buddhism.

With a pure heart, walk slowly, slowly touch the traces of this ancient city for thousands of years, you will slowly experience the real northern Thai culture with your warm perception during the trip. The most mixed temple - [Wat Bubparam] Wat Bubparam is not large in scale, and it is a building that combines the styles of Burma and Lanna.

As soon as you enter the gate, you can see a cute Donald Duck. There are various cartoon sculptures in the temple. It is the most mixed temple. I always feel that this white house with golden edges is very familiar. It turned out to be the filming location of Lost in Thailand. watbubparamwatbubparamwatbubparamwatbubparamThe mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

Please forgive the inconsistency between the color tone of the photos taken by Yunluo Sony and the photographer. I am a clumsy little pig with a clumsy hand, I can't take pictures, I can only smile foolishly. So please ignore the composition, the color is not good enough, etc. White Pagoda Wind Chime - [watsaenfang Shengfang Temple] There are not many tourists going to Shengfang Temple, and the entrance is quite inconspicuous, just a small iron door.

Behind the main hall of Shengfang Temple stands a tall white tower, with a white body and a golden spire. The copper bell and golden umbrella swing in the wind, making a clear and beautiful sound. There are few tourists around, so you can enjoy it alone. After leaving Shengfang Temple, I rode my motorcycle into the ancient city quickly, parked the car near [lilamassage], and made an appointment for a massage at 2pm.

(Because Lila required a deposit to make an appointment, they booked Lila as soon as they entered the ancient city.) Originally they wanted to go straight to the two nearby temples, but the roadside, the doorsteps of their homes, and the designer's creative shops made it difficult for Yunluo and An Chuyu to walk. They could only sit here, look there, and wander around according to their interests.

So, Chiang Mai does not need to plan a route, just a heart of discovery. There are views everywhere. This is what I am talking about. This is a small designer shop near Lila, which is easy to see. There is an urge to pack up everything in the store and take it home. Lanna Teak Ancient Temple - [Wat Phantao Pan Tao Temple] Pan Tao Temple is the only all-wooden temple in the ancient city.

Phantao means "1000 furnaces" in Thai, because it was once a casting site for other temples. The exquisite teak temple preserved from the Lanna era is still intact. Although it is adjacent to the famous Chedi Luang Temple, it is just as popular. Perhaps it is because the ancient wood passed down from generation to generation is telling something.

Among the many temples in Chiang Mai, Wat Phra That Tao may not be the most beautiful one you see at first sight, but it will be the one you will remember for a long time. Wat Phra That Tao Wat is the commanding height of the ancient city - [Wat Phra That Tao] Wat Phra That Tao is located in the center of the ancient city. It is one of the two most prestigious temples in the ancient city, along with Wat Phra Singh.

Although the brick pagoda behind the main hall was destroyed in the earthquake, it is still the highest point of the ancient city. There are towering old trees beside the temple, and auspicious symbols are hung inside the temple. If other temples in Chiang Mai are good at small freshness, then this one is definitely a different style. Standing next to the pagoda, touching the century-old bricks, and closing your eyes, you feel as if you are back to the Palatine Hill.

Chedi Luang Temple Chedi Luang Temple Chedi Luang Temple Chedi Luang Temple Chedi Luang Temple Chedi Luang Temple After leaving Chedi Luang Temple, it is almost noon. At this time, it is best to walk through the alleys of the ancient city. Drink a watermelon shake from an old lady on the roadside, visit small shops with few tourists, and change into a pair of cool elephant pants. This is the taste of the ancient city.

I have passed by this primary school many times, but I can never forget the excitement I felt when I first saw it: that day, the children all wore school uniforms in the color of bougainvillea, and they were standing under the beautiful bougainvillea and in the pink school gate. The contrast of all these colors made people linger. So much so that Yunluo and An Chuyu would come here almost every day in Chiang Mai.

Look at this patch of fiery red bougainvillea and those innocent children. The courtyard in front of the house is not big, but it is meticulously maintained. The combination of running water and porcelain ornaments, flowers and floor tile patterns are just right. I walked and talked with Mr. Fat, thinking. If a child can be born and grow up in this small town, then he must be very, very happy.

The people here, both men and women, smile with such kindness in their eyes and eyebrows; the flowers and plants here, no matter where they are, are so leisurely with blooming flowers and inclusive green. ——Thanks to the great gods echo and stefanieee for their advice, the one in the picture below is called firecracker flower/firecracker flower.

This flower is really as its name suggests. Who can tell Yunluo what it is called? It is so beautiful that Yunluo wants to drool and eat lobsters (Yunluo must have thought too much) - Thanks to the knowledgeable children from Jiuxi to Manjuelong for providing the answer: Crane banana is the brother of banana. Walking through the alleys, I accidentally walked into a temple. Maybe it is not very famous in Chiang Mai.

But because of a warm-hearted Chiang Mai local, Yunluo and An Chuyu remembered this place and this jackfruit tree. After entering the slightly worn-out doorway of the temple, an aunt in her 50s greeted Yunluo and An Chuyu and said, "Remember to take off your shoes before entering the temple." Yunluo and An Chuyu smiled and said that they were just walking around casually, and she smiled in response.

After walking to the back of the temple, Yunluo and An Chuyu met again under a huge jackfruit tree that blocked out the sun. She greeted Yunluo and An Chuyu again: There is a free toilet here. She also took the initiative to ask if Mr. Fatty was from China and if Yunluo was Thai. Yunluo and An Chuyu laughed. It turned out that Yunluo was already wheat-colored and looked like a Thai girl.

After a few words, the conversation started. She talked about the story of her visit to Phuket 7 years ago, how delicious, cheap and fresh the seafood market in Phuket Town was, and the low prices and rich weekend markets in Chiang Mai. Yunluo said that Yunluo liked Thai silver, and she even drew a map. She told Yunluo that there was a street on the east side of the ancient city.

They are all factories that produce Thai silver and wood products. You can watch the workers make their own products there and buy authentic Thai handicrafts at low prices. She also repeatedly told Yunluo that if you take a tuktuk, it will cost 150b for two people. Remember, it is for two people. She also asked Yunluo and An Chuyu if they had experienced Thai massage. Yunluo and An Chuyu said that Yunluo and An Chuyu had booked a lila. They will go there later.

She kept sighing that it was not the best. The best was the massage parlor in the women's prison slightly north of the ancient city. It was authentic and cheap. Blablabla. This auntie was so funny. Yunluo and An Chuyu stood under the tree and chatted for about half an hour. It was not until Yunluo and An Chuyu realized that it was getting late and they had to eat lunch and go for a massage that they said goodbye in a hurry.

I thought this auntie was in charge of the temple, but later I found out that she was just an ordinary pilgrim. Mr. Fatty had been nagging for a long time about wanting to eat Faqing Hainanese Chicken Rice, but the location recommended by the app on his phone was wrong, so the two of them frantically searched for Hainanese Chicken Rice under the scorching sun, and finally Mr. Fatty got what he wanted.

In terms of taste, it is a very rare salty and fresh taste in Thailand. After eating sour and sweet food for many days, eating Hainanese chicken rice is like a dead tree coming back to life. The tender chicken is poured with salty sauce, which is really delicious. The owner of Faqing is of Chinese descent, can speak Chinese, and has a Chinese menu.

Unfortunately, when Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived, it was already past lunch time, and the chicken gizzards, chicken intestines and other internal organs were sold out. So everyone should eat early! In fact, when Yunluo and An Chuyu found Faqing Hainanese Chicken Rice, it was almost 2 o'clock. They were afraid that the Lila reservation would be cancelled, so they called the Lila front desk first.

We made an appointment to arrive at 2:15, and the other party said to reserve 15 minutes for Yunluo and An Chuyu. It takes less than 5 minutes to walk from Faqing to Lila. Yunluo had a 2-hour Thai massage package for 550b, and Mr. Fat had a 1.5-hour foot massage and trimming for 500b. After entering the door, they changed clothes and washed their feet. The following photo was taken by the masseur after Yunluo and An Chuyu changed their clothes. The light was weak so it was blurry.

Lila actually smells very nice as soon as you enter the door. They have all kinds of massage creams and massage oils that they make themselves. I chatted with the masseuse during the massage (Yunluo loves to chat). She said that their massage creams are made from many local plants in northern Thailand, a large part of which are made from lemon leaves.

Lemon leaves are really good stuff, from Tom Yum Goong soup to massage cream, they are everywhere. I wanted to continue chatting, but the masseuse shook her head and said that she didn't know much English, and smiled shyly. Yunluo's masseuse was small, but her strength was just right, and she was very good at using leverage, so many of her techniques were natural and just right, without any force.

The masseur Mr. Fatty met was quite awkward because Mr. Fatty was too big. Even though the strongest masseur in the shop was giving him a massage (a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, why are all the masseurs women?), he was still pushed down by Mr. Fatty when doing the bending movements (poor masseur, Yunluo and An Chuyu's Fatty is really too fat, Yunluo will teach him a lesson when he gets home).

It was almost five o'clock when Lila came out of the massage parlor. The sun was not so hot. Mr. Fat said he wanted to take Yunluo to a place on his motorcycle. When I looked up, I saw bamboos blocking the sun and a pure and secluded path. No matter who came here, they would not be able to resist walking in. At the end of the bamboo forest was the Luowang Country Hotel.

This is a treasure place that Mr. Fat discovered while reading travel notes. If he comes to Chiang Mai next time, he must stay here. The exterior of the hotel is already like this, not to mention the towering ancient tree in his yard. Hmm. Yun Luo wanted to sleep peacefully in her arms [The Funeral of Tha Phae Gate] and Tha Phae Gate are not destined. When I came out early this morning, I saw a performance stage next to Tha Phae Gate. I thought it was the stage left last night and was not dismantled.

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

But in the afternoon, it was still the same, and there were more performers. The whole area around Tha Phae Gate was filled with colorful tents and stages. I had no choice but to find a small piece of the remaining empty wall to take a photo, and bought a bag of pigeon food to feed the pigeons. I thought that maybe in the next few days, Tha Phae Gate would be quiet again. It would not be too late to come again.

But every day after that, Yunluo and An Chuyu came here to report. One group left and another group took over, and various small tents gathered tightly around Tha Phae Gate. Even on the day they stayed in VC, Yunluo and An Chuyu got up early to take pictures of Tha Phae Gate, but the situation was even worse that day. The Tha Phae Gate was full of tents left by the weekend market, and there was almost no city wall to be found.

I almost burst into tears. I had to leave in dismay. Elephant Pagoda——【watchiangman Wat Chiang Man】Wat Chiang Man is the oldest temple in Chiang Mai. It was formerly a government residence. In 1926, King Mengrai, who founded the Lanna Thai Dynasty, made Chiang Mai his capital and converted the oldest government residence in the city into the current Wat Chiang Man.

There is a square pagoda behind the temple, surrounded by 15 giant elephant sculptures. Although it is also an elephant pagoda, it feels completely different from the Chedi Luang Temple. Perhaps it was because it was dusk when Yunluo and Anchu met, and the golden setting sun was on the roof, which was extremely peaceful and soothing. Everything slowed down with the sunset, slower and slower, sitting alone in a corner of the temple.

Let the sunset cover you with a veil. Wat Chiang Man Wat Chiang Man Wat Chiang Man Wat Chiang Man Wat Chiang Man Wat Chiang Man [Wat Lokmolee Rama Lee] Perhaps among the many temples in Chiang Mai, it is not so outstanding, and perhaps this temple is not mentioned in many introductions, but it is Yunluo’s favorite place along the way today.

Perhaps they came at the right time, not a minute too early or a second too late. The setting sun and bougainvillea set the stage for all the environmental elements. At this moment, Yunluo and Anchuyu fell in love with this place. Wat Phra Singh is a large temple in the ancient city that is as famous as Wat Chedi Luang. Wat Phra Singh is a large temple in the ancient city that is as famous as Wat Chedi Luang.

It is also a school for monks to study. When Yunluo and Anchu met, it was evening class, and the seats were full. In addition to monks, there were also believers from nearby. The stadium and teaching building next to Wat Phra Singh seemed to be the monks' residence and school. Wat Phra Singh Wat Phra Singh Wat Phra Singh Wat The most delicious meal in Thailand!

【thegoodviewbar&restaurant】In fact, before arriving in Chiang Mai, Yunluo and An Chuyu had not carefully read their homework, they just thought it was a casual little town, it was good to walk around and stop as you like. So when it was time for dinner, they were at a loss. Yunluo casually flipped through the QY Tips on his phone and found that Yunluo and An Chuyu were on the road to Baaningping Hotel.

There are many specialty restaurants in the northern section. The good view bar & restaurant is located at 13 Charoen-raird, which is on the east side of the Ping River. Let's take a look at a partial map. The center point A is the restaurant. The picture below is a general map. The square in the middle is the wall of the ancient city. Now you have an idea. It is a very easy to find restaurant.

Because it was a last-minute action, Yunluo and An Chuyu were ignorant and fearless. They arrived at the restaurant at about 7 o'clock. Yunluo and An Chuyu were lucky enough to choose the goodviewseats near the river. If you are dining at the restaurant, it is better to book a seat in advance. The environment and taste of this restaurant are worth spending 2 minutes to book it.

The fish here is a must! The most expensive one on the first row of fish on the menu, fried fish, served with tomato sauce, various seafood and pineapple, is definitely the most delicious food Yunluo and An Chuyu have eaten on this trip! As for the large platter of dipping sauces with a strong northern Thai flavor, it is the specialty of this restaurant, and every Thai table must order it, but it feels so-so to Yunluo and An Chuyu.

It's like a salad with different ingredients and sauce. And the large portion is suitable for four people, two people really can't finish it. Yunluo and An Chuyu ordered a lot of dishes, and the total consumption was only equivalent to 200y. If you want such an environment and such dishes in China, you will probably have to pay twice as much. Most of the people who come here are locals, who want to find a quiet place by the river.

If you want to be lively, look for a seat near the indoor band. As the sky gradually darkened, this place also completed the transformation from a restaurant to a bar. Because it is by the river, there are many mosquitoes, and the waiter can provide mosquito repellent. I originally wanted to go again a few days later, but for various reasons, I was unable to go.

And later, Yunluo and An Chuyu ordered fish cooked in similar ways in different restaurants, but it was a pity that the fish here was not comparable. This taste probably only belongs to this place and can never be found anywhere else. On the way from the ancient city to this restaurant, we passed by a fruit market and bought 300b+ worth of fruit.
