A night at Phrae

Dec 29, 2017

Tonight we stopped at Phrae to pick up my brother joining our trip. He is a 3rd-year undergraduate student at Maejo University, Phrae. He told us that the hotel we stayed was the best one in the area and the price was reasonable as 500 baht a night no breakfast. There was a coffee shop in the hotel which I like its interior.

In the next morning, we walked around looking for a place to have breakfast. The hotel location was not bad. There were a local fresh market, a bank, and a local food restaurant by walking to the main road. Look at my video.

I had a funny story to tell. It was funny for us but may not for you. Are you ready?

After we got in the room, Mister turn on TV and something wrong which cause the TV did not work as it should. He was trying to figure it out but he could not. I asked him and fixed his problem as I changed the language from Thai to English for him. However, the TV still did not get to any channel.

I was looking for a WiFi password which it should place in the room somewhere but I could not see anywhere.  I decided to walk back to the check-in counter. I open the big door and get in the area where was dark. It was about 1 am. I could not see anybody and suddenly the boy jumped from somewhere. He scared me!   He looked upset and mad but still asked me if I needed anything.

I asked him for WiFi password and he told me,"It is on the closet's side". I thanked him and ran.

Mister asked me if I told him to fix TV. No, I did not. How did I want to ask him more as his face looked mad. I looked through the closet many times. Mister helped me looked at other places which we thought it might be there but nothing.

I walked back to the boy again with Mister. This time, I knew where he was. I woke him up and told him what we wanted. He asked with cold voice, " What is your room number?".

He walked fast headed to the room before us. OMG! I ran to get to the room before him and open the door.
He fixed the TV without saying words until it worked and told how to control the remote quickly than I could catch. I told him to tell Mister again. He wrote WiFi password for me and left us quietly.

Mister laughed and said ," I think he hived"
Me : What hived?

Mister: drug.

Me : I think so.

Muang Sing Historical Park Kanchanaburi Thailand

Jan 8, 2018

A friend offered to be our driver today could pick up us a bit late. I told her to pick us up at Best Western Plus Grand Hotel, Changwattana at 11am. and we picked up my mom together. It took about half an hour to get to mom and we headed to Kanchanaburi.


Traffic was not bad so we got there in two hours. As we had half day then I looked at places to visit last night and picked two, Wat Tham Sua (Tiger cave temple) and Muang Sing Historic Park. We went to Muang sing Historic Park first because it closed at 4pm. then Wat Tham Sua.

We got there before dark about an hour and there was a bus tour arrived after us 5 minutes. I think the pagoda was open for visitors to go up to the top but by the time we were there it closed. We walked up through the second floor and walked down. I like to see the city view from high level.  I would I have a drone then I could get photos and record video from the Sky same as photos and videos I watched on the internet and Youtube.

I searched the hotel where closed to the road and my mother's house. This hotel was only one pop up on my top list. Everything was nice as this hotel only 2 years old.

Bathing elephants at Elephant Nature Park Chiang mai

Dec 26,2017   

We were booking a day-care at Elephant Nature Park Chiangmai

This was the most fun moment for me which I will remember for my whole life. It was my husband's first time spending a whole day with elephants. I have another whole day video as well.

I did not take photos while bathing them as I was with them in the river. However, I would like to share other photos in the place on the day along this blog. Well, if you interested to see more, please check on my other blog, the one I wrote about the whole day activity. 😜

I was focusing on them and waiting for the right moment before pressing the shutter. 

I could feel their merry.

 The guide led us walked around the sanctuary,
looked at the other animals they recuse beside elephants.

 The vet was checking its injured leg and curing. The vet is a voluntary from other country which I do not know because I had not had a chance to talk to the person.

 The elephant hood walked across the river and played with each other.

Baan Pak Klong Phatumtani

This place in the same area as my mother's old house where I lived when I was 2x years old.

The food was good in every dishes especially fry-fishes, my favorite. There was a live band. On the day we were there, a blind singer was on the stage. Her voice was beautiful. Price was reasonable.

I like how they cooked rice in small pots. One pot was not enough for me so I took half from a niece and half from mister ^_^ .
