Holiday in Chiang Mai Pt 2



outside our hotel room...on my left
on my right...the building with the white roof is the stadium where DH watched muay Thai the night before. on Friday morning there is a morning market here.
today we took a tuktuk to go to the elephant camp...
sampai2 beli tiket..., we took the whole package -  but my mom just took the elephant show and lunch.
gajah dah start main2 with visitors

part of the show...tendang bola

 lukis
close-up...the paintings were later sold to interested buyers

 then naik keta lembu
to go for the elephant ride

 elephant ride...kalau turun bukit rasa macam boleh terkeluar bawah besi tu je...pegang kuat2
 the ride along the river
 excited betul..
last skali dgn gajah before we say goodbye. We had a good lunch...halal buffet in Maetaeng  park..not sure about other elephant park though.
next activity...rafting..pakai topi yang disediakan, panas woo

journey starts...


tourists from other camp

 along the way the guide showed us a school for baby elephants...ooohh sini rupanya dia ajar gajah lukis..
 the guide amik gambar..but we are not ready at this time..there's a nicer photo taken and they sell to us later
irfan posing..finally just before we ended those two guides siap mintak tips lagi...hahaha
 next stop temple Doi Suthep....tengok tangga bukan main tinggi...dengan panas...hmmm I'd rather order and iced mocha and rest here...
 DH and irfan went up and took some photos up there, while My mom, alia & I stayed at the foot of the hill and browse the kedai. Bought some souvenirs here and wished I could buy the strawberries here to bring home... a kilo for 100 baht...murahnye...
Last photo... weather is not good..otherwise you would see chiang mai from here. Balik hotel rest malam keluar makan then my mom and I went for Thai massage. Esok pagi2 dah pegi airport. enjoyable trip!

Hi Ezlin, I enjoyed looking thru all the pics here. And I have never been to Cheng Mai, maybe one day.
But can see its fun, and very exciting....and really exciting duduk elephants.
Can see your kids having a great time.

Were you and family on a group tour? I guess must be quite cheap going there now with group tours. And the hotel looks beautiful.
Sawatdee.

Hi Lee,
Thanks for dropping by. Glad that you enjoyed looking at the photos. We didn't take a group tour for this, just get the tuktuk driver to take us there.The driver then will show you around. With your Canadian dollars Lee, the package will be very cheap. If I'm not mistaken it cost us RM100 per adult for all activities, tips and transport excluded.

Have a nice day, Lee.

Have a nice day.
