Thailand trip Day 3

5th December 2005

Woke up abit late and almost missed the prayers time.Its so cold when i woke up.The aircon was put a little low.haha.After prayers and bathing we headed down to the familiar hotel restaurant for a familiar meal.Yup same thing.Crossaint, danish, egg cake and cocopop/crunch.Hmm..But after eating all the food, some have to make way.Meaning after breakfast i went back to my room toilet to..err...let go.Yup.We then get ready our cold outfit as we're gonna go up the highest mountain in Thailand and its gonna be VERY cold.Probably about 16 degrees.
The trip was long and boring that i slept almost throughout the whole journey.We stopped at a checkpoint for toilet break where some people sold tamarind and flowers.Not in the toilet of course.Hahaha...Anyway the trip to the peak of the mountain from the hotel is about 3 hours.

Finally.Oh yeah its so cold that i was shivering.The sun is shining but its so cold.Wanna noe why?Well obviously cuz its high up and that the clouds is practically passing through me.Its so gd to have the passing clouds to touch your face.It doesn't feel anything but u noe its good.haha.

Thanks to our tour guide,Miao I think thats how u spelt it.yes Miao Hua, she's your friend.haha

Anyway we went down to the sounvenir shop.Thats how they spelt it (American style) though the 'i' dropped,naming the shop 'souven r shop'.heheeIt didn't really sell a lot of interesting stuff except this fridge magnet which has a thermometer on it.I read it.16degrees.Mum bought it

Lets take the van.We went down a few metres and visited 2 Pagodas dedicated to the King and Queen.You know why there is a lot of people?Cuz its Father's Day today.Notice the position of the apostrophe.Confused?Surely.In Thailand, today is Father's Day.Not a day to celebrate all fathers but to celebrate the King's birthday.Since he is deemed the 'father' of Thailand and that today is his birthday, today is Father's Day!YAY

The pagoda contain a statue of Buddha each; the King's Pagoda has a sleeping Buddha while the Queen has a standing Buddha.I noticed too that the King's pagoda is higher than the Queen's.Well, thats not surprising.

Lets go down.Here its no longer cold.We visited a local tribe market where a lot of vegetables and fruits can be found.I saw this girl carrying her brother/sister by her back.Darn its cute.haha.

I thought of buying somthing and so bought some red cherries and white atapchi(whoever u spell it).You noe, those white thing u put in ice kacang?Yup.The atapchi wasn't hard, surprisingly.It was a little harder than a normal jelly.And for the cherry, its not really cherry.It is quite hard and has a seed in it.Then we went to have our packed lunch at a nearby seat.Unfortunately it started raining as soon as we sat down.Thankfully the hawker across the street allowed us to eat our food in their area.

Guess what?The chicken tasted like KFC's.Im serious though KFC's is still better.Its finger licking good!haha

Then we moved on and visited a natural water fall.It so big and its splashing water all over.But so fun...haha

Back to the hotel and left again for dinner.Since today is the last night in Chiangmai, we decided to take a picture with the restaurant people and the driver(since he won't meet us tomorrow).The mum of the Yunnan restaurant owner took a picture with my mom.As though 2 long lost sisters reunited.haha.Awww...

I wanted to buy this traditional shirt that looks nice.Unfortunately i have to reserve my money for buying my prom stuff.darn.Anyway I'm quite choosy.Some of the designs aren't really nice while most of them are quite translucent.haiz...
My mum bought this cushion with someone who looks like a ladyboy.You noe, ladyboy.Guys who dress up like women.Yup IronLadies. I have met a few already.Its quite obvious they look a little like men.Well for all you noe half of the women i saw were previously men.MUAHAHAHAhaha...lets not be so bad here.
