Green hut cafe is perhaps a cafe where most of my friends will wish to own. It's a cafe full of toys on display, simple yet cozy cafe that serves good coffee as well as Thai iced tea. Nice place to chill n thanks to the free wifi too!
Catching a 1.45pm bus to Chiang Mai later. Think it will takes 3hrs. Cost us 169bht per pax for a first class seat.
Btw, I survived the night up the mountain with no air con. It wasn't as cold as expected but it was real peaceful. Quiet and peaceful.

Add-on
We decided to be thrifty and went to the old bus interchange to catch their public bus to the white temple. It was quite easy if you know the Thai name for it and only cost 20bht one way. And the driver will still call out to us when we are there. The journey only took about 30mins.
It was slightly after 9am when we arrived and 10mins later, busful of tourists started pouring in. The place was swamped with ppl, mostly Thais as it was their public holiday. After 2hrs of snapping photos, we found a nearby cafe ato cool down den took the bus back to the city, collect our bags frm The North Hotel and make our way to the new interchange in a song-tiew which cost 20bht.
On the way to Chiang Mai, we stop by the highest hot spring in thailand. I kinda remember this place as id been to CM before, when I was around 10. It felt like this place just that it has become more developed and more commercialise. But one thing still remains unchanged, HOT SPRING EGGS! I love eggs and I like to eat eggs cooked in different ways. So we bought a basket of quail eggs and a basket of brown eggs and soak them in the hot spring for 5 mins. It only cost 20bht per basket that is like 5bht per egg.
We finally reached CM at around 5-6pm, took a tuk-tuk to The Green Tulip (2040bht for 4 nights for 2 of us). Checked in then make our way to the night bazaar via a song-tiew that cost 20bht each. We had a simple dinner of tom tum kung, guay tiew soup and pad Thai which was so so only. The food in CM doesn't taste as yummy as in bkk it seems or maybe I'd lost my appetite lately.
Walk around after dinner, did some shopping not forgetting lots of bargaining which wasn't tt bad as its still the non peak period yet until next week. Then I believe it will be much harder to ask for 'better price'.
Had a Thai massage somewhere as we couldn't remember the location of Fah Lana which was the highly rated massage place in not only CM but in the whole of Thai. Den make our way back after buying some CJ sausages from 7-11.
The second day in CM, we decided to go for the ATV tour which is a 3hrs journey around villages and to a mountain view lookout. It's my first ATV experience and a not too bad one despite being stuck in the mud 4 times and have to wait for help from the guide and his helper. But the highlight of the day is seeing someone lost control of her bike due to speeding and head straight for the bushes. Till now, its still a lovely sight to look back on. This trip cost around 1400bht each. Pricey? Yes. But well, nothing is free.
That night, we went to the night bazaar again but stopped somewhere else along the road for some dinner first. We finally found Fah Lanna (http://fahlanna.com/). The massage, is addictive. After a couple of female massues, I was appointed to a male tis time round and he is damn good. I think, I need a man!
Maybe its due to the fact that he's a lady boy hence he's more gentle and sensitive. And his hands, its so warm it felt like placing a heat pack on my aching muscles. His hands are also fleshy, strong yet gentle. Just what I need! I'd honestly never felt such warm hands before, I think he must have heated them up before starting. The massage cost 200bht for an hour. And its worth every cents. I wonder if he will come to SG one day...
