Monday 201106
visited the temple of the white elephant: (Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep Rajvoravihara) while waiting for the hotel rooms to be ready. that pretty much took the entire afternoon. we then had dinner at this seafood restaurant called 'NANGNUAL'. really good food. after that was the browsing of the night market- WOW. i even managed to find the time for a foot massage. haha. wth.


ps: the hotel i stayed in 'Imperial Mae Ping' is the one that the famous singer Deng Lijun passed away in.. brrr.

the morning was really cool. had a tour of the Maesa Elephant Camp. they have elephant shows where the elephants play soccer and paint! haha. so cute. i fed the elephant an entire bunch of bananas too. HAH. the rest of the day was REALLY REALLY boring. all the standard boring factories where they try to get you to buy all those expensive goods. i didnt really fancy the leather/ animal skin factory- was really inhumane i feel.



Wednesday 221106
on this day we went to the more moutainous region of chiang rai. en-route, there was this hot spring that we stopped by. you can actually cook eggs in that water! there was this really shiny and bright temple that was supposedly built by a single person over the span of 7years... visited several tribal villages where we saw the different peoples. on the bus ride back- there was this scary moment where the bus swerved to avoid a turning car which almost resulted in an accident



Thursday 231106
since all the activites were over, we had the day off- freeandeasy. so we took a free shuttle bus to the nearby shopping centre- Central Airport Plaza to while the time away. took a nap in the afternoon. at dinner, i was kinda drowsy, and so i misheard the waiter:

waiter: e'cue me
[i heard: kill me]
me: HUH?!? what? OH. sorry.
