Chiangmai (i)

Sawadee ka!

I'm back from Chiangmai after 7 days with a huger appetite than EVER. I'm actually surprised i enjoyed myself in Chiangmai, because prior to the trip i labelled Chiangmai as a 'place with no food no shopping just historical buildings'. I love history, i do, but 7 days of building-exploring will perhaps induce an architecture-phobia.

Supper at the airport before my midnight flight! My virgin taste of gogo franks and yep, definitely upped my love for hotdogs to a whole new level. I'm loving the satay flavoured franks!

I'll start with day 2 of Chiangmai since day 1 was just checking in the hotel after a tiring midnight flight...

We visited Doi Suthep, an ancient temple which portrayed immense beauty. Apparently every statue there is either gold-plated or made of solid gold. But i'm not about to bore you with ancient history so..

Shopping at the temple.

Fresh food! Can never get fresh street food in singapore. What's so 'unhygienic' about it?!

Giant waffle sticks and giant waffles. Good for giant stomach.

Gotta love dogs. The strays there are literally harmless.

After that we had an international buffet lunch at another hotel where i ate sushi like no tomorrow. Thais make awesome sushi.

Hands down the best coconut cake ever. I ate like 7 slices or something!? It's damn nice!!!! Yknow the fluffy kinds that melts in your mouth omg *swoons*

After lunch it was a pretty dry afternoon, just visiting silk factories and stuff so fast forward to dinner at some cultural place!

Ripped my topshop jeans :( Well actually it suffered an acid burn during one of my lab sessions in school....

Some lantern thing that every family did for only 20฿ (about 80cents sgd?) Here's my uncle looking likeaboss.

It was too dark for pictures of the food but i'll probably upload it some other time!

Day 3

I (HEARTHEARTHEARTHEART) THE PANCAKES AT SIRIPANNA (the resort i lived like a princess in for 3 nights). They're made-to-order and god they're so soft and fluffy i could eat them all day. 

After breakfast we went to try out the ATV!!!!!!! Best part of the trip, i daresay.

Here i'm wearing my zara waffle knit top, forever 21 shorts and dr martens mary janes.

My aunt behind me owning the road.

Allegra and Alethea! For those who don't know, Allegra's my little cousin who shares the same birthday as i do :)

Thai massage after a tiring drive! My grandma, aunt and uncle getting prepped for the massage!

We had fast food that night because the seafood restaurant we intended to visit was closed :( But all was good when the burgers and subway sandwiches touched our lips.

TRIPLE cheeseburger. You've got that right, TRIPLE. WHY DON'T THEY HAVE THIS IN SINGAPORE, WHY!??!?!?!

Teriyaki chicken rice set from Macdonalds! Fi would LOVE this. SGP Y U NO HAVE SUCH DELICIOUS FOOD, IS RICE SO HARD TO COOK. 

Mummy and my obese-looking face hahahaha 

Cuz 

Day 4 - Tiger Kingdom

Some serious shit. It's actually quite scary.

Look at how frickin' huge the tiger is, I swear i couldn't even smile naturally.

(Very asian) buffet lunch - chicken meatball noodles, sweet and sour fried fish, stir-fried greens.

Well part one of Chiangmai ends here, i've to go pack for my next trip to KL! 

Till then :)
