Ciang Mai
'It's shop till you drop'...literally speaking
Hehe i stayed in the lotus hotel..and the best thing about it was that it was right beside one of the biggest shopping centre in Chiang Mai..
The Thais are really polite and sweet... I find the way they greet ppl rather flattering..haha
Because i'll never ever be that polite...haha..well maybe to 'ppl' that i like..haha
I thing i've bought up a year supplies of rubber bands and earrings..ahh....haha
I have never actually thought about how an elephant's skin felt like...until i actually set on one. Lets just it is Very rough. It was rather scary at first.. i had to sit on top of the elephant..and i had to step on top of it to get there... Poor elephant i hope i'm not to heavy... But can u imagine the elephant carrying my mum and I.. Seriously poor elephant. I think i almost fell from the elephant twice..one become my mum's whining gave me the urge to jump of board. Two my elephant.. 20 years old still considered young and playful ran down the steep slope while the other elephants took the gentle slope.. It was fun but scary...
I wonder how thick an elephant skull is..cause you wont imagine what those ppl used to get the elephant to obey them..i'm sure glad that i'm not an elephant.
River rafting was a more soothing and gentle ride... but after half an hour i almost died of floating boredrome....
I'll tell you what the major rip off is..
i went to visit the Karen tribe, you know the long neck ppl and there were none. I had to walk for such a long distance to get there and i didn't even see a single one.....fustrating..
We walk through some waterfall thing but i my sis and i took such a long time taking pictures that we didn't have time to swim...So looked forward to swimming in it...
