Northern Thailand Trip. Day 3: Chiang Mai

Before that, Nu'man wanted to swim in the pool even though he felt hesitant due to Covid-19 pandemic. No one can be seen at the pool area so Nu'man and I just laid back by the pool side.

While yesterday we explored the inner city of the Chiang Mai city wall, today we went further to explore a bit to the northwest. Most were museums dedicated to several folklore people other than the Lanna.

At 10.30 am, we went to the Highland People Discovery Museum. Initially, we would like to first visit their village, however it was closed for renovation. So we continued to the museum located just beside the village.

Free entry to the museum but a tip very welcome. We were greeted by a delightful lady once we stepped into the museum. There were only us in that museum, as you expected.. :P

The museum was rather small

Nice steps into the museum

She was very friendly

This floor has several videos explaining tribe's history

List of hill tribe people in the northern Thai

Each tribe has its own video

I guessed it must be Mlabri, not Lmabri :)

The original hill tribe's village

On the second floor exhibits some of the old stuffs

A cassette tape recorder

A super little museum yet entertaining

Next stopped was the Chiang Mai National Museum. We felt a bit disappointed since the exhibitions were mostly on Buddhism, and a bit on Lanna Kingdom on the second floor.

Not so many visitors coming to the national museum

The museum opens Wednesday to Sunday, from 9am to 5pm

We ordered quite a lot for our lunch at Ruammit 1. I guessed portion of each dish was catered for more than 2 people, and we ordered 3 dishes. Oxtail soup was the spotlight and the other two never failed us on the exceptional Thai food taste. After lunch, we backed to hotel.

A very delicious oxtail soup

The provide free shuttle to Anursan night market daily at 6 pm. Then, we reserved our seats as Nu'man is graving for the banana & chocolate pancake that he had yesterday.

While waiting for our pancake, these guys ate their crunchy scorpions

SheMales were preparing for cabaret show started at 9pm

Journey Review

Thinking of the same idea as what Zarin did in his wrapping up post, I'll do the same for the sake of my own record. This post will be updated from time to time. Some of the trip may have a specific write-up and you may click on the travelling month. Here is the world travel map, courtesy of TripAdvisor. A bit of Statistics: Total countries visited = 22/195 [Last updated : September 2023] Our Travel Map. [Courtesy of TripAdvisor. According to them, we only covered 13% of the Earth at the moment :P .... still long way to go and we didn't show USA map as to when we will be there]

Shopping sakan di Langkawi

Kenangan bersama mak... Bulan januari yang lepas, rombongan keluarga Perak buat trip ke Melaka. Sekarang giliran keluarga Johor pulak pegi berjalan.. errr bershopping sakan di Langkawi. Kalau nak diikutkan, gambar tengah syiok bershopping lagi banyak. Tapi takde sapa yang snap gambar . Hujung minggu kali nie serentak dengan Tahun Baru Cina.. ALhamdulillah dapat kumpulkan adik-beradik bersekali ngan mak ayah, buat trip ke Langkawi. Cuma keluarga adik yang bongsu pergi lebih awal. Dapat la die snap gambar kat Langkawi airport. Pagi hari pertama kami ke KLIA dan tinggalkan kereta kat sana. Takut terlebih2 shopping masa balik nanti, payah pulak nak sewa van. Jadi kami bawak kereta memasing. Kadar parking lebih kurang RM150 untuk 4 hari 3 malam. Bila buat kira2, lebih kurang je dengan sewa teksi pergi balik ke KLIA.

Indonesia Island Trip. Day 1: Lombok - Gili Terawangan

Sarapan pagi kat airport We had been rotating to visit the Southeast Asia country each year and this is the fourth time visit to Indonesia after Bali (2010), Bukittinggi (2012) and Bandung (2014). Looks like we made a return every 2 years, that's interesting! We may need to consider other countries like Brunei, Philippines or Cambodia in the near future. Three hours later, we arrived Lombok International Airport at noon. We were welcomed by Pak Ibrahim's staff shortly after clearing immigration and collecting our luggage. The weather that day was slightly overcast. En route to Teluk Kodek Port, we stopped at Sukarara Weaving Village. By the time we reached there, it was raining heavily. It is a traditional craft of weaving center located in Lombok West Nusa Tenggara. Not much seen as it felt, we had ayam taliwang for lunch at Taliwang Alam Nyaman restaurant, known for its famous local dish. Alpukat Jus (Avocado Juice) is also a must try whenever you vi...
