Travel
A few days ago, I promised to tell you about our car — how much it cost, why we chose it, and how I felt driving on the left side of the road. Well, now I can finally tell you.
Yesterday I left Chiang Mai and arrived in Bangkok. I rented an apartment here and plan to stay for two weeks. Right now, I don’t have any plans for this week. I don’t want to go for a walk because it’s 30 degrees outside — I’m just sitting inside my apartment under the air conditioner.
Yesterday, the weather wasn’t very good — it kept raining, and the sky was covered with clouds. But sometimes the sun appeared and burned us. Still, I wouldn’t say the weather was bad.
Yesterday I promised to show you my hotel room, and today I want to share it with you and also talk about our plans. Today, we’re going to wait until lunchtime — maybe the weather will improve and we can go for a walk. If the weather stays bad, we plan to go to the next cities: Mae Hong Son and Khun Yuam. We already have a hotel reservation in Khun Yuam.
Today we woke up early at 5 AM and visited Yun Lai Viewpoint. When we arrived, the weather was cloudy and we couldn’t see anything, but as we walked, the clouds cleared, and we were able to enjoy amazing views. We also visited Pai Canyon and the Kho Ku So Bamboo Bridge, surrounded by rice fields. This time the weather was sunny and hot, so we could walk around, enjoy the scenery, and take some photos.
Hello everyone! We arrived in Pai around 3 PM. Our plan was to start early in the morning, but we couldn't make it. Anyway, it doesn’t matter — we're already here, and I’m satisfied.
We have a long weekend for the next five days, and during this time we plan to travel around Chiang Mai city and visit the most popular places: Pai, Baan Rak Thai, Mae Hong Son, Khun Yuam, and Mae Sariang. We’ll visit Doi Inthanon next time. On this trip, we’ll travel by car (Honda City Turbo HB) for 4–5 days, and we’re planning to leave early tomorrow morning. Here you can see our route.
Yesterday my older brother and I took a motorbike and went to the market to buy a durian fruit and some groceries from 7-Eleven. We took a medium-sized durian, and it cost 99 baht per kilogram. The total price was around 500 baht. The market workers also prepared the fruit for us.
Yesterday was a cloudy day. The weather outside was comfortable, and the air temperature was not high. We went for a walk, and I also rode a bike. We walked around a lake near the house — just 10 to 15 minutes away. The lake was really amazing. There were big fish swimming, and we also fed them.
Yesterday I arrived in Chiang Mai, Thailand at 12 AM. I will stay here with my brother and his wife for one month, or maybe longer. My brother and his wife have been living here for more than a year and have a house. They gave me a guest room with a bathroom. The room is very big — it has a comfortable bed for sleeping, a table for working, and also air conditioning. Without air conditioning, you can boil here because it's 30 degrees, very hot!
It was a very bad flight to Barcelona because a group of soccer fans were shouting and talking loudly. On top of that, they brought food and ate it during the whole flight right next to me — it was awful. The man sitting next to me even got my coat dirty with his food. Now my coat has small stains.
