  • Day 1 : Night Bazaar

    We arrived at Chiang Mai around 7pm. We were actually plan to visit Doi Suthep Temple on the first day, but too late already. So the tour company’s van drive us to the hotel.

    We stayed at Suriwongse Hotel, a hotel that locate in the middle of a tourist spot – the Night Bazaar. We see a lot of people there, tourist especially, ang mo a lot. Great we were staying at that hotel, but the room sucks, never mind, we changed to a better room the next day.

    After dinner, we walk down the street for shopping at the Night Bazaar or better known by us Pasar Malam/Night Market. I see those Chiang Mai people, wearing traditionals cloth (some) and carrying their baby on their bags, surprisingly their baby so guai, doesn’t scream and cry for milk, haha. People like my mom pity them sometimes will just buy some stuff from them.

    105_5960

    See she look so happy when we bought something from her. My mom bought the silver bracelets for 100baht.

    105_5970

    We walk down the street, a lot of stores there selling imitation shirts, shoes, shorts, believe to be handmade products, souvenirs, pirated cd/dvds and many many more things.

    105_5961

    There sell a lot of this lamps. I also don’t know why, maybe the material there is cheap. Some looks nice.

    105_5975

    Hmm, there is like our Batu Ferringhi where you can find a lot of cheap DVDs and CDs. No point for me to get it there as I can always get it here. Good for ang mos.

    105_5974

    This is kinda cute, there is actually teddy bear in it. As decoration purpose, will look nice if put in a girl’s room. No girl in my family. So no buy. Mom also don’t want. Hehe.

    105_5978

    This is one of the stalls set up by the roadside. The tour guide told us that the pasar malam/night market will be on every night, not like Chatuchak at Bangkok which only have on weekends. Shop till you drops.

    105_5962

    This is a place where the seller set up stores, like a market like that. Got a lot of ladies’ shirt, handmade flower soap, massage and more. I and mom went to shopping while my dad went to Foot Massage, only 60baht/half hour. Cheap hor?

    105_5981

    I came to this place, also call night bazaar, but the things there not interesting. You can find some scary things there for sale, like this :

    105_5986

    I wonder who will ever buy this doll.

    105_5984

    But they do have pro artist that draw very nice drawings, just almost same as the photos, background, everything. Look almost the same 90% same as the original photo. Envy, respect.

    105_5982

    See?

    Stay tune for Day 2 of my Chiang Mai trip.

  • Day 1 : Suvarnabhumi Bangkok Airport

    I am going to spread my 3 days travel experience into several post for more easy reading pleasure and faster loading time. Back to school, and busy sharing my travel things with classmates and friends.

    I took budget airline Air Asia to Chiang Mai, but it was not a direct flight. Dad bought tickets online for Penang to Bangkok, then another tickets from Bangkok to Chiang Mai.

    105_5859

    Now I am getting a little phobia on taking flight, I do enjoy it journey but National Geographic Channel’s Air Crash Investigation causes the flight phobia on me. Haha. My favorite part on a plane is when the plane take off. Scariest part is when it lands.

    105_5864

    It was raining when we landed at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport. It did not bother us as we stay in the airport until the next flight.

    105_5869

    So, most probably is because that we took the budget airline, so we don’t get to go to the arriving terminal on those bridges that stick to the plane. Instead, we have to walk down the stairs from the plane and take a short bus ride to the arriving terminal.

    105_5919

    It was about 5 hours free time until our next flight and we can’t check in so early also. Have lunch there at the airport and my dad drink a couple of beer, he said beer in Thailand is cheap. I walk around and look for Wifi access for Twittering, but no luck, all need to pay.

    105_5910

    Dad drink beer, I eat ice cream. I loves the ice cream (100baht) from Cafe Nero by Black Canyon Coffee (Claim to be largest coffee chain store in Thailand).

    105_5917

    I found a lot of little machine at the airport, actually they are for International phone calls and Internet access. I paid 50baht and wrote something for my blog.

    105_5914

    Air Asia check in counter is always at row E, last time I went to Bangkok also at row E. So I went to Row E.

    105_5926

    Queue up for bags check in and getting our boarding pass. We just need to show our passports and they will give us the boarding pass. So, the paper that I’ve printed out about the AirAsia one was useless.

    105_5933

    It’s time for some camwhoring. Getting myself to the waiting hall.

    105_5936

    The airport is so big and we have to take these moving walkways a few time until we reach the terminal. It’s time to fly to Chiang Mai with Air Asia, again.

  • Hard to Find Free WiFi at Chiang Mai

    Stupid Starbucks Coffee here, because they don’t offer free Wifi, instead you have to pay 90baht/rm9 for 1 hour usage. So that sucks. It’s not exactly no free wifi here, I do found one just now on the Internet, near my hotel, later go check it out.

    Currently blogging from Central Airport Plaza, paid 10baht/rm1 for 15 minutes usage, which is better than at the airport there. Will be back home tomorrow, took LOTS of photos lo. My 1GB SD Card now can take 50 more photos then full already, took about 600 photos, incude some video clips. =)

    Lalala, got to go, stay tune to my blog for photos from Chiang Mai.

  • Not Enough Feeling

    The image “http://ourworld.cs.com/complex2d/ep5b.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors. Haha, today, 777, I went to audition for our very own in school singing competition. Not thinking of winning, just for the sake of fun, joyness of singing and to gain my dareness. I believe, some of you, ask you go sing also not dare to. Hehe.

    Gain 1% of dareness. LOL. I am the last to go in to the audition room because they had made a mistake, they didn’t put my name into the list and I am the last one. This is the first time school having such competition and gets good response too! My form, Form 3 have 71 register but 61 student present.

    Nervous? Of course la, but fun also la. I sang the song, 淘汰 Tao Tai by Eason Chen. They want me sing only the chorus part then after singing, the judge say I need to put MORE feeling into the song. HAHA. No chance getting into next level. I admit my singing is bad, but it’s fun singing. All judges are student, those Form 5s Form 6s people from the Choir.

    They say 8.30 start, but afterall, 10.30 finish. Then follow up with Form 2, Form 1, Form 4 and Form 5. Every one was training to sing at almost every corner in school. So you go toilet, you will get to hear free songs as someone is singing.

  • Random Photos Taken In Chung Ling

    Do you have special toilet for VIP? Very Important (insert youself, something start with P). This toilet is old one, we do have new VIP toilet at the other side, and I went in before. It’s lock always.

    The new pay phone in school. Some more got SMS feature, 20cent per SMS.

    My school layout plan. I remember Han Chiang’s school layout plan is bigger than ours, but ours is more colourful then theirs.

    Afternoon session recess time, 3.50pm.

    Play badminton, anyone?

    My class notice board, I am in charge. LOL

  • I Play Drama

    Talk about today in school.

    When arrived in school, don’t know why today so late already my friend still haven’t get the Star paper. I got 3 classmates buy The Stars in school because it is cheaper than outside, the subscription fee is RM0.70(per paper) x how many schooling days in the month. Outside sell for RM1.20.

    I everyday also borrow from them to read. Spent like half an hour to read everything. Now I am following the Mongolian Lady Murder trial, so interesting, it’s like watching drama nia. HAHA.

    Today I went to somewhere call the Bilik Gerakan (Action Room), never been there before, it was beside Principle’s office. Don’t know why teacher choose me and Geoffery go do a Malay drama play. She say it was for the oral test. Ok lo, I can’t memorize the lines well, so I have the script on hand, haha, see talk see act.

    Few minutes come out already. Relief. Since the permission for us to go out the class is from 8.30-10.10, we were done at 9. So there is actually a waiting area out principle’s room. So we just sat there and read newspaper. Don’t want to go back class because it will be boring. HAHAHA.

    Handed our Star NIE project. Teacher said our design were number 3 nice than the rest. I want number 1, but I can’t do great designs. Ate Wan Tan Mee and French Fries in school. Yummy! Then in class, curi makan (secretly eat) the Wasabi Peanut i bought. Muahaha.
