How are you today? The last entry is about cruised down the Ping River.

THe Ping River with Scorpion tailed Boat

The second day of traveling is very nice.I woke up at 8 PM. and has lunch at bamboo restaurant and then I promenade in the Scorpion tailed Boat Village's garden and saw some longan.The owner told me that " You can pick it from the tree. It very sweet" So I pick it and ate a fresh longan. Oh!! It very tasty.

Longan in Scorpion tailed Boat Farm

There have many longan in Chiang Mai. One kilo. is about 15 Bht. but in my country is very expensive. The owner shown me a banana farm and give me some banana.They are very kind and nice owner. AT 9 PM.I take on the boat.It was a clearly day.A blue sky with a green mountain.

The describer cruised with me and they has some customer in the boat.The describer told me that Muang Mai market is a good market to buy a fresh fruit and vegetable but If I buy a goods in morning,It'll better than evening because it's cheaper than the evening.Muang Mai market is located near American Consulate if you travel in Chiang

In the Scorpion tailed Boat
Guide was describing about the history of Ping river.

Mai and you need some fruit,don't miss this market.

The describer told me about the history of the ping river and local people life who live near the river bank.I think it's a great trip that I ever has before.Because the price is suitable for the trip and I can breath the fresh air while listen to the history and saw some old picture of the places which located near the river bank.Some place is more than 50 years but some place is more than 100 years! It still located at the present.

When I finished cruising down the ping river, they served a yellow mango and sticky rice and lychee juice at bamboo restaurant.They put a coconut mike and sugar in the sticky rice.Very sweet and fragrant.

Sticky rice and yellow mango make me rumble with hunger.So I went to the local food restaurant near the Scorpion tailed Boat Village.I ordered Khao Soi for a lunch. Khao soi is a local food.It look like a noodle in the curry . They put a coconut mike and chili in the soup.I think it too spicy for me but it's delicious.

Khao soi,curry noodle.A local food of Chiang mai.

After lunch,I went to The old city.I walk around the old city and call tuk-tuk to went to Suan Dok temple.This temple is very beautiful.The stupa of this temple be marked with the prosperity of the king who builded the stupa.This stupa and temple is very big so it shown that the king who builded this temple is very flourish.

I walk around the temple and saw many little stupa which contain the relic of the king and royal of Chiang Mai.I think this temple is very important for Chiang Mai people.

Now the time's up.I'll write the memorable story next entry.See u

Hi everyone,

This is the first entry of me.I come from China and I have heard that Thailand is very charming.I think so.I went to bangkok for 4 days.I forgot my camara at the hotel so i didn't take any photo at Bangkok.I think Bangkok is very noisy and bad polution but everything is ok.After that I went to Chiang Mai.It was a perfect place to travel.I have to say " Don't miss it" If you have a plan to travel in Thailand, you must go to Chiang Mai.

The prople is very nice.They different from Bangkok people.Bangkok people is a bit aggressive but Chiang Mai people is very gentle.I think the factor of the difference is the enviornment and weather. Bangkok is the business city.Everyone have to work hard and think only about the money so they seem to be a selfish man.The weather is very hot and bad polution.Because of too much building and carbon monoxide. The cost of living is higher than Chiang Mai.

The First day in Chiang Mai, I went to Doi Suthep temple.Doi sothep temple located at the top of Suthep mountain.I can saw the city from the top of the mountain.In the morning I saw a Flog around the mountain and I think that it look like a paradise.A flog cluster around a big mountain and barely to see the mountain.

When I arrived to the mountain,I saw a golden temple which the relic of the Buddha was loaded in the stupa.It very great. I think this temple is very important for Chiang Mai people.

At noon,I find some restaurant to have a lunch and I got a good restaurant to have a break.It's Chiang Mai Vegetarien Society Restaurant.If you are vetgetarian or you love to eat vegetable or you like healthy food,I recommended this restaurant because it very clean,delicious,good for health and cheap.There have many type of food such as thai food,local food,herb salad , menu dishes and bran.But you have to lade the curry from the pot by yourself.The curry is only 1 bath!! What a cheap meal!

Me and Scorpion tailed Boat Room.

The night is coming so this trip i stay at Scorpion tailed Boat Village.It's the quite place and surrounding by the nature.I can see Suthep mountain from this resort.The room was made by a bamboo and furniture made by bamboo too.It's very nice.Over more this resort is close to the Ping River.The owner of Scorpion tailed Boat resort told me that they had local fish hook for the customer.So I decided to fishing.A fish hook made by a wood stick.I dig some worm in the ground for the lure.Before I fishing,there are two customer fishing at the river bank.They didn't get any fish and me too.Because I am an inexperience for fishing.
