No logo is a mobile phone shooting, logo is a camera shooting. The names of hotels, resorts and hotels will also be clearly written in the tourism summary below, which you can see when browsing. All right, no nonsense. Let's start this summary-
preface:
Thailand is a country with relatively mature tourism development. The maturity here does not mean how powerful the scenic spots and shopping are, but for tourists, many details they have not noticed, they have done it for you, one by one. The first is the enthusiasm of Thai people. The smile and courtesy given to you by staff, shop owners, restaurant staff and passers-by can make you deeply feel the true faith, not superstition. Many times, this kind of kindness and enthusiasm will stimulate your desire for consumption, instead of the phenomenon of tourist attractions pitching people. Then there are local goods, and more DIY handmade goods. The price is not expensive, and you will find that every piece is really handmade, and there are 30 differences in 30 pieces. For the same type of pants, in different towns and different stores, the price difference is only 50 baht. Finally, ATM, as long as it's UnionPay, you don't need visa. You can see one at 2300 meters. When you feel that you don't have enough cash, and when you are motivated to consume, these ATMs will make you increase your budget again. Irresponsible test, I charge 50 baht for each withdrawal, because I haven't tried to get too much money, 3000 baht at a time and 2000 baht at a time, They all charge 50 baht. Finally, Thailand is a very common place for women. You can not communicate with them. Please respect them in your behavior. But I believe that the enthusiasm of Thai people will gradually take off your guard in daily urban life.
Preparation before departure:
Every literary youth's travel has a lot of literary reasons, but it happens that I am not a literary youth, just a pure loser. This trip is a once-a-year basic friend trip for my friend (Chang) and me. The last time was 12 years in Xiamen. Please refer to the summary in the previous article for the summary. At the same time, it's also my job to prepare for the wedding dress shooting in Thailand. Although some clients have consulted me, I don't dare to charge for the things I'm not sure about, so I decided to travel first. It happened that the trip of my friends at the end of the year was so happy. But because Chang doesn't have much annual leave, I can only travel for 6 days. From December 19 to December 24, 2013, we flew from Guangzhou to Bangkok on the morning of the 19th, took a train from Bangkok on the evening of the 19th to watch the sunrise for 9 hours, arrived in the old city of Chiang Mai on the morning of the 20th, rented a motorcycle to leave Pai on the afternoon of the 21st, returned to Chiang Mai from Pai motorcycle on the noon of the 23rd, returned to Bangkok on the 24th, and then flew back to Guangzhou. Such is the itinerary, which means that the preparation I have to do is visa, air ticket, train ticket and hotel.
Visa: ID card, household register and photo (blue background is one inch big, remember to find the photo on the street, it's super expensive in the application hall, generally 5 or 6, 2 passports, 2 visa). Make an appointment to apply for an overseas passport in the application hall, and those who have a passport will skip this point directly. As for the visa, because Chang's sister is in the travel agency, we gave her the photo, passport and 230 yuan to sign for us. If we don't understand, we can search many tutorials on the Internet directly.
Air ticket: at the beginning, I inquired about Air Asia. Many people know that there are many special tickets for Air Asia. But after comparison, I found that the price of Air Asia is not much different from the round-trip ticket of China Southern Airlines bought by Ctrip, so I, a lazy person, chose the round-trip ticket of China Southern Airlines directly, The air ticket of Chiang Mai back to Bangkok is also reserved by Ctrip for Bangkok airlines. PS: to remind the first time to go abroad, the time on the ticket is local time. For example, Thailand is one hour slower than China. The plane from Chiang Mai to Bangkok takes off at 12 o'clock, so you only need to arrive at the airport around 10 o'clock local time in Thailand to get ready. You don't need to calculate the time difference of that hour.
Train tickets: when I inquired online, I said it was difficult to get tickets on that day. However, because the online booking had been cancelled at the beginning of 2013, I had to take a chance on the spot just in case I also found a bus to the passenger station in Chiang Mai. You can find a lot of information by bus / train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. I only put a few screenshots when I prepared the information here.
Hotel: I'm used to booking domestic hotels with Ctrip. Because the consumption in Thailand is relatively low, we plan to be forthright in hotels this time. In fact, there are many cheap hotels with good environment. You can make plans according to your own budget. You only need to check your passport information to complete the check in.
DAY . 1
Originally, the ticket started on the evening of the 18th, but Ctrip announced that the flight had been cancelled and changed to the morning of the 19th. It was just that one morning's journey to watch the sunrise at the airport was missing, which had little impact. So it was decided. The 8:30 a.m. plane, get up more than 5 o'clock to prepare, the day is not yet completely bright on the departure. Because of my work, I've had three flights this month because of shooting, and there are still three flights in the next journey. I used to envy others, and it was really tiring to take so many flights... Chang's first flight was dedicated to me, and it's still going abroad, and the annual oil journey starts!!
Guangzhou airport boarding process is not said, more than I have experience. Because we wanted to have a romantic encounter, I chose the front and back window seats for the plane. For the first experience of Achang, the seat next to me was empty, ha ha ha, while a couple who had not been married for a long time sat next to me. The first stop of this trip was Bangkok, so we must take a picture for them.
When I get to Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, my first feeling is warm!! Many of the signs are in English, Thai and Chinese, so even those who don't understand English can basically understand them. Fortunately, I still keep some English in my high school, and I can cope with them everyday. Here is an episode. The flight attendants will distribute the entry and exit forms. You can choose to fill in the forms on the plane or after getting off the plane before entering the country. If you don't understand English, you can ask the flight attendants or read the Chinese instructions in the sample area of the forms after getting off the plane. When the customs officers collect your entry form, they will tear off the exit form and seal it to you. This form must be kept and submitted when you go back to China to check in.
After passing the customs, I took my luggage and bought a phone card at the gate of the airport. In fact, there was a free phone card at the airport, but we couldn't find it, so we bought one directly at the gate. We forgot its name. The signal showed that it was dtac, 399 baht, 7-day unlimited 3G traffic, 100 yuan local phone charges, a little more than one yuan a minute after calling back. I think it's super cheap. I bought one for one person, My iPhone 4S can be used directly. The 5 card is relatively small. I don't know if it can be used. Then I immediately made a phone call to my family, opened the dating software, and finally experienced the prosperity of Thailand's industry. Let's not mention it here. If you are interested, you can go to my microblog to see... You can get the free map of Bangkok at the airport. Basically, you can see that the airport takes the subway connecting line, and then you can get to huananpeng railway station by bus or taxi. Because we were afraid that there was no ticket for the train, we left the station immediately after getting off the plane. While waiting for the subway, we saw the pirate king's green tea on 7-11 and decided to buy it~
There is an episode here. After the subway connecting line, we directly chose taxis. Because it's not far away, it won't be very expensive, but we were cheated. Many of our predecessors have said that taxis must tell him to dial the meter or ask the price directly. This method is also applicable to Tutu. Although the taxi meter is calculated, the last 80 yuan, but asked the driver, but said 200, plus luggage can not be so much, right? But because we are in a hurry to buy train tickets, we have no time to fight with him. When I went to the railway station, I saw the timetable of the train. The latest time for the express train was 19:30. I had to choose this one. I communicated with the conductor in the simplest English and bought the upper and lower beds of the sleeper. The two people were more than 1300 baht in total.
After buying the ticket, I felt relaxed. I had more than four hours to set out and strolled around the railway station. There are mainly hardware and pawn shops nearby. There is nothing to eat. I asked the owner of a laundry and said that he would eat more when he went to the northwest. I started immediately and met this interesting car in front of the store.
When we came to an unknown local restaurant, we encountered our first problem. The restaurant's menu is not in Chinese and English, only in Thai, and there are no pictures. We can't understand it at all. But at this time, our first benefactor appeared. An aunt who came to the restaurant to eat probably guessed that we were foreign tourists, so she used her short English to communicate with us, such as "noodles", "spicy", "big bowl" and other words to help us order this bowl of food, which I irresponsibly named "qingtangzahefen". The price is only 25 baht, but the taste is absolutely super value. My aunt really didn't recommend it wrong! As for why I didn't consult the waiter directly, it was because I said "one more" later that none of the waiters understood it. Only a boy who came to work late knew what it meant. When we were hungry, I really appreciate this aunt's coming forward, However, it is the same reason that I occasionally see foreign friends helping to communicate with waiters when ordering meals at McDonald's. on the contrary, I feel satisfied. The people who are helped will also be willing to help others in the past days and take photos with their benefactor.
After eating the clear soup powder, we continued to stroll around for more than half an hour. We found a golden pointed thing, which was the first temple we photographed in Thailand. When we went to the neighborhood, ah Chang and I discussed that if the ticket was no more than 50B, we would buy tickets to go in and take photos. Unexpectedly, we found that all the people around the temple entered for free and took photos at will. Only the people inside the temple needed tickets. So we wandered around and took a few pictures.
When I was about to leave, I heard a familiar voice nearby, similar to the cry of the school sports meeting in middle school. Sure enough, close to the temple is a primary school. Looking at the clothes, it looks like a sports meeting jointly held by several schools. I don't know whether it's limited by the venue or different customs. There are few sports events here, but everyone enjoys them. Even if it's a successful height lifting, the noise is very high. This kind of scene is not available to a photographer. He doesn't want to be stingy with the cheap shutter. Maybe it's because there are only some parents and teachers taking pictures on the spot, and they all use mobile phones or advanced points to take pictures with iPad. Only we use SLR cameras, so we attracted a lady from the organizer to talk with us. Her name is OnOn. It turns out that this is a joint sports meeting of several schools organized by the government. She hopes that we can help to record the children's smiles and details of the activities, and update the photos on the summary of the activities on the official website. I readily agreed and left contact information for each other. It's more convenient to shoot after getting the pass, because I don't like that my shooting will affect the things that others are enjoying, just as I don't like the way some photographers take pictures of local residents in Tibet and add lyrical words to the photos. OnOn said hello to everyone. At the beginning, when the children saw me, they would subconsciously smile or avoid the camera. As time went by, they were used to my camera, and OnOn would adjust the atmosphere appropriately to show the most natural side of the children. This is also the scene that most people in my trip to Thailand put their hands together to say "sawadika" to me at the same time. This action and voice make me have a deep feeling. How high is the level of a nation's belief to make this simple salute have such deep enthusiasm? Different people have different tones, but the same action and the same look, A look that makes you feel sincere.
After the sports meeting, OnOn continued to chat with us and asked about our future itinerary. Then he told her that a friend had opened a coffee shop in Chiang Mai. If we were interested, we could contact her and ask her for her detailed address. But later, because of our itinerary, we didn't go, but I believe we will have a chance in the future. After parting, it happened to be sunset, and the temple felt different with the last sunshine, so I continued to make up some photos and went to find dinner. On the way, I met a super good car. It seems that I haven't seen the color yet.
Dinner is near the clear soup powder shop. There is a Japanese newspaper advertisement pasted on the door. There is a plate explaining the meal in Chinese. I can't remember the name clearly. It seems that I ordered something? Then I put on a bowl of very thick stuff, that is, a fried noodle with powdery syrup like thing, and then there was an egg. Because it didn't suit my taste, I had lost this memory. I just played with the dating software in a strange way... Later, he Chang also said that this stuff really didn't suit our taste.
Arriving at the railway station, I went to the convenience store to buy some drinks and food to satisfy my hunger on the train. After waiting for a few minutes, our train will arrive at the station. We can get on the train. The radio will tell us which train the train arriving at Chiang Mai stops at. After finding it, we can find our own lane number to get on the train. If you don't understand, you can ask the staff next to the train, because there is no one to check the ticket. Even if you don't have a ticket, you can get on the train directly. Only when the train leaves can the staff check the ticket. When I walk into the place where the train stops, my first feeling is like going to the station of "Harry Potter" to the magic school. It's Retro! However, as we were all carrying a lot of luggage and were ready to drive, we did not dare to spend time taking out the camera for shooting, because I thought that there should be such a scene when I arrived at the station, and it was in the daytime, so I just took a random picture with my mobile phone, and I still regret it.
After getting on the bus and finding a bed, we can really relax. The opposite bed in the upper berth is empty, while the friend in the lower berth arrives earlier than us. This is another friend of ours, ferrao. During the conversation, I learned that he came from New York, USA, and traveled here alone. For our clumsy English ability, he tried to choose simple English words to communicate with us. In the evening, I feel a little sleepy, so I turn on the weather software to check the local sunrise time, adjust the alarm clock, and then go to sleep. The train is more stable than the car, but there is still vibration when it stops at the station, so every time it sleeps soundly on the road and wakes up after arriving at the station. After 4 or 5 repetitions, it ushers in the alarm bell. After a simple wash, we wait for the sunrise that we have been looking forward to for a long time. Unfortunately, matching the sunrise scene is not the best choice, so we can only barely record it. PS: the air conditioning of the train is not stingy. The upper berth is relatively cold. It is recommended to wear one more long sleeve. It's best to have a coat.
DAY . 2
Finally I arrived at Pai's station. The vast and sunny outdoor scene made me happy and regretted that I missed the shooting of the retro station, but the journey continued.
After a few simple shots, we consulted the front desk about the location of our hotel. It seems that we are well-known and basically know how to get there. The boy at the railway station information told us that Tutu used to be about 150. Then we learned to be good. Instead of taking the bus at the gate of the station, we took the bus outside after walking for a minute or two. Unexpectedly, the female driver of Tutu didn't know the location and drove to the Tutu head, who was soliciting guests at the gate of the railway station for consultation. We were so stupid that we didn't confirm the price with her again. We thought it should be 150. After arriving, the driver just put us nearby, Because she didn't know the exact location. After asking about the price, she only heard one hundred, but she couldn't hear the following dozens. After giving her 200, she didn't want to change money at all. After we took the luggage and got off the car, she drove away
Wandering around looking for hotels, after walking for a while, a couple surnamed Liu accosted us in Mandarin. It turned out that they were Chinese tourists and asked us if we could help. Unexpectedly, they were in the same hotel with us. What a fate it was. It turns out that we just missed the hotel. We don't know. I just think the appearance of that hotel is beautiful. It turns out that it is. They just came back from Pai and shared their experience with us. Then they went to the hotel to check out and flew back to Bangkok in the evening. Originally, they had an appointment to have dinner together, but they couldn't catch up with the time, so they cancelled it, so they didn't plan to take the group photo for dinner. It's a pity.
This "jiangmeng Boutique Hotel" is my favorite hotel that I found out at the beginning. We were received by a girl who thought she was a girl in the blink of an eye. After carefully watching, she turned out to be a lady with a gentle and kind voice. Strictly speaking, she was a lady who had not completely transformed into a successful one, but her voice was really too gentle. The service attitude of other employees in the store is also excellent. As for the environment, let's not say much. Let's feel it. The only thing to say is that there is no toothbrush in the room. You should bring it or go to 7-11 to buy it

After putting down the luggage, according to the map given to me by the hotel staff, we went out for a stroll to find lunch. We compared many restaurants, but we still want to try a local restaurant with Chinese translation and good price. Finally, I came to this terrace. It tasted great and had many styles. The English of the waiter was also very good. Although there were only three shrimps in the Thai style fried noodles, the size of the shrimps and the refreshing degree made me eat it again afterwards. Then I found a TripAdvisor certification, which turned out to be the certification of a large-scale website Organization (in the future, I also found that all stores with this certification, whether hotels or restaurants, have excellent quality and cost performance). I forgot to take a picture of the map. It's in the center of the old town (the center of the straight street between east gate and West Gate).
After dinner, I found that this is really a suitable place for vacation. A good environment and delicious lunch only cost 50-60 per capita. In Guangzhou, more than half of a drink will be removed. Not to mention the foreign tourists who use US dollars or euro, they are reading books after meals, because a staple food may only cost US $4 or US $5
After the break, I continued to stroll and came to an architectural history museum across the road to the east of the restaurant. But I didn't watch the museum well, because I saw two girls taking pictures crazily. One of the girls' long hair and figure brightened my eyes. The long black hair was amazing!! And this grass, this sunshine, can't be missed by a person who has 12% occupational diseases in taking portraits. So I summoned up the courage to praise each other. The invitation was simple, and the girl agreed cheerfully. Although I was not used to being photographed by others, I was nervous, but I just like this picture with a slightly nervous expression. Then I took a few pictures of their mother and daughter. It turned out that they were traveling and brought their daughter's clothes from Taobao clothing store for simple shooting. After simple communication, we didn't disturb their work. Chang and I took a few pictures of each other and continued to stroll. When she shared the photos after returning home, a friend recognized her as a goddess teacher of New Oriental IELTS.
In order to rent motorcycles to Pai tomorrow, we have consulted which company provides this service in advance, because some only provide local rental or return on the same day, so we need to make it clear. We found one and compared the prices. They were almost the same. The ordinary 115cc was 200 baht a day, the small horsepower was 150, and the large horsepower was 250. We chose 200 baht according to the demand. When I found the place of the motorcycle, I began to wander around. Anyway, I haven't got dinner yet. Following the guidance of a big tree, I came to chaidilong temple. It has the largest relic Pagoda in Chiang Mai. This mixed Indian and Ceylon style pagoda was originally 98 meters high and used to be the highest building in northern Thailand. However, due to the great earthquake, Thai Burmese war shelling and lightning strike, there are only 42 meters high tower base and first floor left now. However, for hundreds of years, It is still the tallest building in the ancient city of Chiang Mai. I always feel that gold in Thailand is worthless. Every temple is decorated with so much gold. But what impresses me most is indeed the oldest relic tower in the middle. My first impression is that it reminds me of the ancient pyramid that captured the energy stone in Transformers 2. Suddenly, I was shocked by its solemnity. Although I wanted to go in and have a look at all of it, Wunai has blocked the surrounding area and can only overlook this building.
Because Liu and his wife couldn't keep up with the time, we solved the problem by ourselves. After a long walk, we sat down at the stall about 100 meters northwest of terrace. This restaurant is a little cheaper, but the taste is different. We can only say that the taste is worth the price, but the cost performance is not as good as t's. By the way, I also tried exotic beer. Well, it's just the taste of beer, there's no difference.
After dinner, for convenience, I found the location of the hotel I stayed in on the 23rd. I visited almost 80% of the old city. At the same time, I found a wonderful but not cheap hotel, uchiangmai Hotel, which is about 200 meters northwest of terrace. If you are interested, you can have a look. It was nearly 9:30 in the evening when we thought of Thai massage. After asking, several of them are ready to close down, because the business hours are only 10 p.m., and finally, it's still on that street, about 300 meters west of terrace (so it's called the iron triangle of the old city). One of them has the words "deep massage" written on the front, which is similar to the meaning of deep massage, and its characteristics are very obvious. Only this one is a 300 yuan one hour full body massage. Master's skill is really superb. This is the real pressing and rubbing. When I think back to Guangzhou, although the technique is to learn Thai style, it's just kneading and rubbing. It's too far away. The massage of this family can make me fall asleep completely, while other places are accompanied by a little pain. After pressing it, I feel comfortable. When I think back to Guangzhou, master will say to you, "after a few days of pain, I feel comfortable.", Comfortable, your sister ~ ~ after going back, I can't enjoy the massage of this family, sad!! After massage, every shop will pour you a cup of hot tea to let you have a rest. After the rest, I went back to the hotel to sleep. PS: before the massage, I saw this scene in the backyard of a hotel. It was really beautiful
DAY . 3
Wake up early in the morning, take a bath, and then rush out for breakfast. It's usually 8 to 10 o'clock, and some will arrive at 11 o'clock. When I had breakfast, I heard that a couple at the next table were speaking Mandarin, so Chang went to chat up. It turns out that they are from Guiyang. Just travel and relax. I can't see how old their children are!! They shared their travel with breakfast, and then taught them the basics of taking photos. I enjoy this kind of small talk in tourism. Chang and I never seek to catch up with scenic spots, but just open our hearts to communicate with people around us and take off the guard of the city. Because in daily life, if the people next to you talk about the topics you are interested in, you may not have this kind of mood to chat up, but when traveling, this has become a matter of course, so every time we travel, we will know a large group of friends. After breakfast, they went back to their rooms to pack up and check out. We were ready to leave Pai. They were ready to change hotels. When they checked out, they took a photo with the staff, but they wanted to invite them to eat terrace together.
For them, the taste here may not be very right, because they like spicy food, while we like sweet, salty and ordinary spicy food, so we think this restaurant is very suitable for our taste. All kinds of chatting, Chang reminds me that the time is almost up, otherwise it's a bit dangerous for us to go on the road at night, but I don't care about the time when I talk with my friends. Finally, Bingge and Lena almost have to go to the hotel to check in, so we leave. Thank them for the meal. I'll go to Guiyang to play with you in the new year~~
When I came to the rental shop that I asked for my regards last night, I said that the 115cc had been rented out, but the others were either not powerful enough or didn't need to be that big. The main reason was that the appearance was ugly. We like the appearance of 115cc like a retro lamb. In the end, I had to rent two from another store nearby. Unfortunately, I have no choice. I guess I have to rent them early in the morning. A machine costs 200 baht a day, and 1200 in three days. We can either mortgage our passport or mortgage 3000 baht. If we want to check our passport in, we can only mortgage cash, 7200 baht. Take away the car~
It's about 140-150 km from the old city to Pai. It takes about three hours to drive normally, not counting the time to rest and stop to see the scenery. To tell you the truth, this is the first time I've ever touched a motorcycle in my life. I haven't even ridden a motorcycle before. I don't know where I'm confident, so I think I'm ok... We used our mobile phone to locate and map the route in advance, and finally confirmed it with the owner's wife of the car shop. Therefore, the unlimited 3G mobile phone card is extremely important to us. In fact, the route is very simple. Starting from the old city, a straight road out of the north gate never turns. I know that when I see the PAI sign, turn left, and then there is a straight road. Although the description is so simple, only those who have gone through this road are clear about it
We started when we filled up the gas. At first, we didn't get used to it. It took us 15 minutes to get familiar with it. It's still slow in the city. When we got to the suburbs, we almost ran 60-80. It's great to keep running after the sun( PS: I suggest you choose the helmet with goggles, otherwise the speed is too fast, the eyes will be very painful, unless you buy a sunglasses or short-sighted like me...) stop in this unknown scenic spot, Chang go to 7-11 to buy Sunglasses.
After solving the problem of speed on eyes, we didn't lower than 70 speed, especially when there was no traffic, we began to shout constantly, which was a cry that we couldn't let out in the town. All kinds of broad vision and exotic buildings along the way were not photographed for safety reasons. It's just right that the many beautiful scenery along the way should only be left to the people who ran along the road. Even so, we stopped unconsciously after we came to this section of the road, and we also felt that the sun was about to set. This is the last ten minutes that we can catch the sunset today( Afterwards, when I shared the pictures on my mobile phone, my friend told me that this section of the road was the one where the car broke down in "Thai lost", because I had not seen the movie, and I'm not sure.)
The next road is the night and all black road. Because of the delay of lunch chat and the state of driving while taking pictures, we ushered in the most difficult but unforgettable experience. The distance around the mountain is about 70 kilometers, and it is estimated that there are about five street lights in the 70 kilometers. We tried to turn off the lights when we had a rest to experience the absolute dilemma of not seeing our fingers and the cold wind. The temperature in Thailand will drop about 6 or 7 degrees after night, and the mountain road is colder. This feeling is beyond words. The only thing we can see is our headlights. There are two or three headlights occasionally driving in 10 minutes. At this moment, the only way to cheer us up is to chat with each other side by side.
When Chang told me that his car was about to run out, we began to worry because we really didn't have psychological preparation. We didn't think that the mountain road would be so long. But maybe God bless us. At this time, there is a house with a stove. We decided to have a rest and get warm first. I didn't expect that this B & B has gasoline for sale. Maybe it's a good business based on the road condition and distance. But it's really a timely help for us, even if it's a little more expensive than a regular gas station( PS: when I got out of the car, I saw that they were playing songs of girlhood. Several capitals were Korean songs, ha)
After a simple rest, I continued on the road. After driving for only one minute, I felt that the just warming was meaningless. The only trace of warmth was taken away by the cold wind in an instant. Through positioning, we know that there are still more than 50 kilometers away from the hotel, and this time is already 8:30 in the evening. At this time, we suddenly feel that the problem is a bit serious. In this case, we can't walk on mountain roads at a speed of more than 40. Moreover, due to the problem of cold wind, there are no windproof buildings around. In feeling self abuse, Chang suddenly said to me, "look at the top", and then I was stupid. This picture of stars in the sky, for a person who lives in the city, is absolutely never seen. As anyone who has photographed the stars or knows, this situation must be far away from the city without any light pollution. Although tired, hungry and cold, the picture was worth it, so I decided to find a position with a wide field of vision in front of me and advance my plan to shoot stars now. This is the first time to shoot this kind of subject matter, because it is only this time that it is completely free from light pollution, so I feel that I didn't shoot it well. What I saw with naked eyes is much more than what I saw in the photo. Although it is dangerous, I still want to experience it again.
I don't know whether we have a sense of accomplishment in shooting satisfactory works, or because we have been in this environment for a long time, we feel less cold and hungry. After that stage, we slowly enjoy the rest of the journey. At about 10 o'clock, we arrived at the PAI hotel. Fortunately, there was a staff member, otherwise we would even have to call for someone to check in. Because it was dark, I didn't notice what the hotel looked like. After I put down my luggage, I went out for a stroll, had some snacks, and found a "Oh... Full... Restaurant" (this is really its name...) to eat hot pot. Then I went back to my room to sleep.
DAY . 4
After waking up, I'd better take a bath first, and then take a crazy picture of this "bapai Village Hotel" ~ because we get up late, breakfast time has passed, but it's more convenient to take photos if no one, I really love this environment too much!!!

And then you're hungry, and you turn on the foraging mode. After a stroll, I found this restaurant which many local people eat. I felt that I could taste the local characteristics, so I sat down. This spicy fish soup really warms the stomach. It's wonderful. I would also like to praise Thailand's respect for nature. I have seen a lot of this along the way. I will never cut down a big tree for business or residence, but try to focus on architecture or protection.
Then there's shopping. Tourism is to leave the city where you are bored and go to the city where others are bored. Even if you see a lamp post, you feel like you are taking some beautiful pictures. When I saw some beautiful skirts, I planned to buy them and take pictures. Many friends also said that they were interested in them. But when I asked about the price, I put them down. If I heard correctly, I felt that it was 850 baht. The price was enough for me to buy on Taobao, and there were many styles to choose from.
At dinner, I decided my schedule for the afternoon and planned to go to the Memorial Bridge of World War II. So I went back to the hotel, sorted out the equipment and set off. It was about 9 kilometers, and the motorcycle arrived soon. Along the way, I found several shops that seemed to be well-known but couldn't name them. When I was looking for information, I saw that many friends had taken pictures of them. For a layman like me, it must be vulgar. Take some pictures quickly.
When I got to the Memorial Bridge, there were a lot of people, and I felt that a lot of people were shooting. So how can I make it special? I tried my best to keep shooting. At this time, suddenly attracted two girls want to ask us to help take photos, because Chang is using 6D, WiFi can wear to the mobile phone to send wechat to them, so this responsibility is left to him, suddenly I think 6D is really great, so there is wechat!!! It turns out that they are also from Guangdong, in Yunfu.
Then we started shooting crazily until sunset. There was nothing special in this period. Maybe it was because we were too focused on taking pictures. Ha, let's see the pictures.
After the sun went down, I rode a motorcycle back to the hotel to rest and recharge. I gave the girl a wechat answer and readily agreed to have dinner together. After the wechat positioning meeting, it's the rhythm of going to the night market. Here, it seems that the night markets of Chiang Mai and Pai are very busy only on Saturdays. There are not so many mobile stores. We really have no plans. We are always favored by the God of tourism. Chang and I bought a pair of local pants and some things for our family.
After all kinds of snacks and staple food, the girl suddenly said that she wanted to put Kongming lantern, which is called sky lantern in Pai. Different sizes and different prices, but it's about 25 baht. There's no need to buy pens and lighters. Just ask the owner to borrow them. Finally, after eating some snacks, they went back to the hotel by motorcycle. Their hotel is 6 or 7 kilometers away from the night market. We are also a little tired. We go back to the hotel to have a rest. After all, the nightlife here is basically nothing except bars.
DAY . 5
In the morning, at the last moment, I quickly brush my teeth and go out of the hall to have breakfast. It's still very rich and there are many choices. During the conversation, I met a German mother and traveled with her son. Just after the tour from Chengdu, China to Thailand, I didn't think about the next stop. Suddenly, I felt that this was life. Work hard, let me travel with my son as long as I want.
After breakfast, I checked out and drove for a while to the gas station to refuel. By the way, I bought some food for the next few hours. Along the road, we saw several famous buildings.
After a shot, we went back to our most classic mountain road. In day3, we couldn't see how dangerous the mountain road was because it was dark. Now in broad daylight, we finally saw the severity of the journey. I really admire our accomplishment. There may be 150 S-shaped curves in total. It's no exaggeration. Friends who have witnessed this journey will know that because of safety reasons, I only recorded the scenery in the safer section. I dare not stop to take pictures of dangerous curves to harm myself and others. Let's have a look at the pictures. You have to experience the more beautiful scenery yourself.
I saved about 2 hours when I went back to the city. I was afraid that the car shop would close, so I rushed to return the motorcycle. Finally, we asked the shopkeeper to take a picture with our comrades in arms.
As we have found the location of the "at Chiang Mai Hotel" before, and we have basically completed 80% of the roads in the old city, we arrived at the hotel in 10 minutes. This is our most expensive hotel, but the environment is the broadest, and there are many facilities. After check in, a plate of fresh fruit will be sent for free. The best thing is that there are two kinds of bathing tools. Changdu and I decided that we had to take three baths.
After a good rest, we went out to look for food. We were all familiar with the main road and decided to take a stroll in the alleys. Sure enough, there will be a special surprise in the alley. We suddenly saw a small shop, familiar with the warm lights, I let Chang smell the fragrance, see his face back, I knew I had to try. This little 20 baht is really delicious!! Thai shopkeepers are happy to chat with you, no matter whether you buy their products or not. I said I wanted to take a picture, and the lady said yes, but just take a picture of the cake, because she didn't make it, just help to have a look.
When I saw the market in the old town on the road, I really felt that I was crazy, and other people's market seemed to be very good-looking, ha ha.
In fact, we have already decided on the restaurant for dinner, because when we were looking for a hotel in the evening of dya2, a young boy helped us. Although he was poor in English, he also enthusiastically found someone who could teach us, so we came to repay our kindness tonight. As soon as we open the menu, the price is not cheap, because we are used to Thailand's cheap consumption level these days. I ordered a few casually. I didn't expect that after serving, I suddenly found that the price is absolutely worth it. The taste is 7 points, and the appearance is 9 points. Finally, of course, I have to take a picture with my benefactor~
Thailand's last night, the mentality is very calm, feel very familiar, also feel very reluctant. After a long stroll in the street, I didn't want to go back to the hotel even though I didn't want to take any pictures. Maybe this is how I feel at the end of every journey.
DAY . 6
In the morning, there is a regular rhythm, bath, breakfast in the hotel, and then we pack up and go to the airport in Chiang Mai. We took Tutu at the gate of the hotel. For the last time, we all learned to be good at it. We negotiated the price of 120 baht before we set out. Our attitude was still very good. We picked up the camera for the last part of the journey to Chiang Mai and were reluctant to give up. Finally, we decided to give THB 140, the 20 yuan as a tip, but the THB 140 was better than the original THB 200.
The plane meal of Bangkok Airlines is very special. The things in the lower right corner are a bit like the dessert like the thousand story tower.
After arriving in Bangkok, I waited for the plane back to Guangzhou and wandered around the airport for several hours. I decided to buy a set of pirate king's green tea on 7-11, but the problem came. My checked luggage has been registered, but drinks can't be taken on the plane, but I forgot that. Two of us bought more than 20 boxes of green tea, and we were told that we could not carry them at the time of security check, so we could go down to check them. So I spent 100 baht on packing and asked about the cost of re shipment. It cost 2250 baht, which is equivalent to 400 RMB. It's enough for me to buy a set in China. But under thought of a way, I asked the security personnel if the box is empty, can you take it on the plane? She understood all of a sudden. When I thought she wanted to empty them all, suddenly she explained it to everyone. I feel that she should be regarded as the little manager of the security inspection department. At the command, all the free people leaned over and drank a box of green tea. In the alternation of working and drinking, almost 10 security inspectors were drinking with us. What a magnificent and warm scene. Unfortunately, no photos were allowed in the security inspection places, Moreover, it is not convenient for them to be photographed during their work. We should respect them. How can I not fall in love with this country that treats tourists warmly, and how can I not indulge here repeatedly?
After boarding the plane, we officially ended our 6-day trip to Thailand( PS: I have a little regret. I always think there should be McDonald's in Suvarnabhumi airport. I didn't expect that... I didn't have a chance to try McDonald's in Thailand. I must try it next time.)
By the way, I make complaints about the first feeling after I returned to Guangzhou airport. When the family members came to pick us up, the airport staff gathered trolley to go back, and I saw him without my back. The uncle of the airport pushed the car and shouted at me, "go away." Chang and I deeply sigh that this is the gap
