Our trip to Chengmai Thailand starts as early as 1.00AM in the morning. Reach LCCT airport by about 5.00 o'clock.We immediately had our breakfast and proceed for check in.Since LCCT is a busy terminal, we met a very old friends who are going to other destination. A pleasant meeting for both of us since we have not met for over easily 10-15 years.My friends are from JB. The flight was on time and everything went well throughout the journey.
THE STAY.
The CT airport was clean and nice.Technology wise this airport is more advance than our local airport( in term of security).We took the airport taxi which is a toyota harrier to our hotel.We also make arrangement with the driver to take us for our next sight seeing in CT.Since we arived by about 11.00 am, we have to think of a place for lunch.We came well prepared with name of places for muslim food.The best thing about this place is, tourist are given a small map of the entire city.We were able to make our way to some muslim restaurant near a mosque.It is a chinese muslim mosque.Actually, the mosque is the landmark for us to find muslim foods.Later we find out that there are a few muslim foods are available at Changklon Road.We were told that our hotel is quite near to night market and it starts to open by about 5.00pm till about 12.00 midnite.Of course we will not want to miss this part of our vacation.As it is the first day, we do not know any shortcut way, so we really walk all the way and manage to survey the whole nite market. Quite interesting but of course very tiring.
Second day was the arrange trip. The taxi pick us up and we go straight to the places of interst in CT.We enjoy the trip.We went to the elephant training centre which offer a package of elephant show, elephant riding,bullock cart riding and river rafting.We past by some ranch like area where horses are being kept. Quite a few of them too.
Next we went to the tiger kingdom,where visitor are allow into the tiger pen to play or snap photo with the tiger.You get to choose your tiger..young ones or bigger tigers. I like to play safe so i choose the younger ones..only five months old..young cubs..and active too. Bigger ones are already asleep after their meal by the time we reach there.
Our next stop is at the Queen Sirikit Botanical Garden.This is a big area where a lot of flower of different varities are planted. This is a goverment own sort of garden.They have glass houses here and the weather(at this time) is rather cooling, something like cameron highland in our country.I took a few photos in this garden.
Today is our third day in CT. From the small map, we feel like adventuring more about CT. We rented a motocycle and run throughout the town.With a transport, we can see more places and of course find new place to eat.We covered the entire town, get something to bring back home.The last nite was spent at the nite market again.This is the time when we really pick up thing to buy with real bargin prices.It was fund and enjoyable plus memorable too.These are some of the photos taken while in CT
I also experience the fish spa, where littles fishes sort of chew away dead tissue from our feet. It is suppose to offer some health benefit to us. A nice experience too.
