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
The Hmong tribe exhibition area

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]

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...

Singapore Trip: A lion-city escapade

Watch out! It is a zika-free :P trip to the city of light that we had on the 2nd mid-term school holiday, apart from the 'balik kampung' to Ipoh and JB on both week end. My wife managed to secure a stay for 2 nights at the 'Rumah Peranginan Persekutuan' where it supposed to be a big family trip with my siblings.  It was a big vacation house, which I believe can cater at least 15-20 people. For some reasons, they had to turn it down. Note: Pictures taken are not in the best quality as I'm still get my hands on the new DSLR camera.. wink.. wink..
