Goodbye SG!


Well, my last trip of the yr. Thou i hope tt this will not be true.

I'll see u in a wk time. Unless i can locate WIFI.

I wonder what will they be serving later.. I know i will be watching Grown Up!


A quick add-on:

The flight was a good one w scrambled eggs. The movie Grown-Up is funny thou i didnt get to finish the whole show. We reached Bkk at 9plus Thai time. Check out, check in for our Air Asia flight to Chiang Rai then went to their food mkt for Thai ice milk tea, mango sticky rice as well as a green milk tea which is surprisingly good. Sit, nua waited for our 11plus flight and finally reach CR at 1pm.

We went to the information center and asked for a map of CR, went to a cafe, ordered a cuppa ice blended coffee, studied the map, called our accommodation guy who came and pick us up and brought us to Akha river house to wait for our transfer up Akha Hill house. There we nua w a beer and french toast then took a short walk around tt area. It was drizzling from time to time hence i was feeling slightly under the weather but all is good after a night sleep. Back to our journey, we took a 4 wheel drive into the mountain and some of those slopes can competes with those we had in kenting. Excellent! Haha.. CHeap thrill. We reach Akha hill at around 6pm and it started pouring.

We checked in, had dinner, went back to shower and went to bed at 9plus. Real healthy living. Woke up at 6am for sunrise but sadly, my travelling luck is not back yet. But well, the yun hai makes up for it. We changed, packed, went for breakfast, checked out and took the 1hr ride back to the city where our guide of the day was waiting for us.

She brought us to the golden triangle, opium museum, monkey caves, Mai Zai which is the border to Burma, we paid 500bht (or USD10) to get our Mymmar stamp and back to Thai again. We ended the tour with a trip to the hilltribes village were we need to pay an entrance fees to into meet the Karens (long neck)and some others which i cant remembr. Like what i'd read from somewhere efoe and here i will quote 'it feels like waking in a human zoo'

The tour starts at 10am and ended at 6pm at a cost of 2000bht each. The whole journey was in a song-tiew, those mini vans with parallel seats which are surprisingly easy to fall asleep in.

Our driver drop us at The North Hotel which cost 900bht per night. A nice and clean guesthouse. We checked in and went to the night market for dinner. It is just a 5mins walk away. Had som tum, bbq salted fish and a fried mamak. With beer as the finishing touch.

The night bazaar is similar to those i frequent in Bkk but their products are.. i guess slightly lagging behind Bkk fashion. But still, nice to end the day with.
