Love Letter to Thailand: Heart and Stomach Connected

This article is especially dedicated to Xiao Huang, who praised Doudou’s travel notes to Thailand and repeatedly mentioned his favorite.

May this student adhere to the basic principle that both food and slimming should be grasped and both hands should be hard. On the basis of eating all over China, he will expand the food map to Cambodia, Russia, etc. this year and to more corners of the world in the next few five-year plans…….

I don’t know why. I ate a lot in Thailand, but I lost weight when I came back. In the wake of the busy work and family affairs, Doudou succeeded in stabilizing the achenes. Now it is three Jin thinner than before it went to Thailand. It is only three Jin from the goal of 100 points!

In the past, whenever friends suggested eating Thai food, Doug’s reaction was nothing more than: Can I change it for something else? ? ? Ah, then I won’t go…

It can only be said that with limited experience, I feel that Thai food tastes strange and is really not my dish……..

Thailand is rich in fruits, as everyone knows. Before going, Cici said, eat fruit and drink fruit juice.

As a result, Doudou set off for Thailand with a solemn and stirring feeling that he was not used to eating fruit.

I didn’t expect that the serious first experience of Thai food was in a small restaurant opposite Chiang Mai University.

On the afternoon of the first day, we came down from the cloudy Sutie Mountain and were placed directly at the gate of Chiang Mai University by two cars.

Eat what?

The small hall opposite the school gate is quite popular, so it is it!

Of course, I’d like Dongyingong Soup. Whether you like it or not is one thing. It is very important to do as the Romans do.

Who knows a few mouth down, incredibly impression reversal, quite like.

Doug thought, maybe the green lemon, curry and spices here are more authentic, maybe the shrimps and squid here are fresh.

We ordered three plates of green papaya salad back and forth…….

Thai cuisine is quite imaginative. Sour, sweet, spicy and spicy are mixed together. With cola with enough ice, Doudou is satisfied.

Prices in Thailand are really cheap, with less than 200rmb for five people at a meal……

The night market is Doudou’s battlefield, and the biggest gain is: all kinds of fruit shake are really delicious! Fresh and cheap!

Therefore, from one end of the ancient city to the other, Doudou finished drinking cup after cup. At the moment, what’s good tea and all kinds of coffee are floating clouds, and fresh fruit juice is the favorite!

Why not in Beijing? Why, if there is, does it not feel that way? .

Doug is a guy who doesn’t like snacks very much, but when there is no fruit, he will feel very sad.

Pass over 40 Thai baht and you can harvest a large cup of pure fruit juice full of mangoes, strawberries, avocados, warm fruits, bananas, oranges or lotus plums. Even though your stomach hurts, Doudou still refuses to add a lot of ice to it. Biting the straw and walking aimlessly, I feel that the whole person and the world are as cool and refreshing as this cup of shake!

It’s time to eat again. Where to eat?

Article 1 of the Food and Goods Treasure Book: Restaurants with high local popularity will never make mistakes! This is not, there is one opposite the night market!

The waiter handed over the menu, pure Thai and wooden pictures, and stayed away directly.

Then he handed over the English version and made do with it. He was half blind.

点完了,才知道还有中文版。不带这样欺负人的…..

Article 2 of the Food and Goods Treasure Book: I really don’t know what to order. I probably can browse what other tables have ordered and sift out the ones with the highest frequency of being ordered. I probably won’t make mistakes!

I don’t remember whether five people wiped out eight dishes and one soup or seven dishes and one soup, but they didn’t have any image to eat anyway:

Look, the plates can only be piled up… In this way of eating, five people have not spent 200rmb.

Article 3 of the Law of Food and Goods: Food is a battlefield regardless of its source, whether it is a vegetable market or a five-star hotel!

Doug practiced this rule for breakfast on the second and third days:

The next morning Doudou followed everyone into the bustling local market and happily killed a bowl of pig soup with the most authentic local dishes and grilled fish. Five people did not spend 200 Thai baht.

Craft and business are so good… Every time I pass the market, I see the wife of shop-owner’s packing hand never stops.

In fact, Doudou always likes to visit this market because the fruit shake next door is so delicious!

Wife of shop-owner’s attitude and English are excellent! See, besides fruits, tomatoes, carrots, celery and even ginger are available. How healthy are you? If Beijing has them, I will definitely drink one cup every morning!

The finished product is like this:

What a big cup, how heroic! I like this magnificent way to drink fruit juice! Premise: Be natural and fresh without adding!

I told you one thing: I heard that the afternoon tea at the Four Seasons Hotel in Chiang Mai is good…… (the voice-over is that I can’t afford to stay, and it’s not wrong to drink 100 yuan of afternoon tea occasionally). However, people ignore Doudou. The Chiang Mai Hotel is not in the city and cannot go alone, but can only give up sadly. Take a look at the picture:

It is also a great pleasure in life to have tea and chat with three or two good friends. Let’s say that the next time we catch people who are more close friends, we will come with them!

In order to make up for this regret, Doug ran to U Chiangmai alone on the morning of the third day in Chiang Mai and enjoyed a buffet breakfast of 300 Thai baht. Although it was considered to be burnt, it was very important to eat breakfast well!

In fact, sometimes food and art are indistinguishable, requiring heart and imagination.

U Chiangmai is a four-star hotel in the downtown of Chiang Mai’s old city. It is quiet and full of Zen.

At noon, I went to visit the Meiping Hotel where Teresa Teng stayed before her death. After that, some people said that I wanted to find Teresa Teng’s favorite Coke Chicken Soup Noodles Restaurant. I rode one street after another and couldn’t find it everywhere. Even times have changed.

Article 4 of the Law of Food and Goods: Persistence on the road to food is necessary, but it is also necessary to have pioneering spirit!

I can’t ride any more. Look at a restaurant nearby. Go in. Looking through the menu, this one is also strongly recommended by netizens and books.

As a result, we enjoyed the meal that everyone thought was the most burnt in the whole process (in fact, it was more than 1,000 Thai baht, less than 300 RMB). Look at the content and you will know how valuable it is:

See also Winter Yin Gong……

Curry crab…..

Shrimp cake and Thai fried rice noodles… Pure natural colorful, index finger moving, very healthy wow.

Doudou was also obsessed with the extremely popular hot pot for thousands of people, which is also very popular with the local people, It is the kind of fresh and large seafood, fruit juice, all kinds of meat and vegetables that can be baked and rinsed. Listen, it is only 195 Thai baht and 40 RMB. The key is that the local people like to eat it. It is also very interesting to participate in and experience the life of the local general public during the trip.

Article 5 of the Law of Food and Goods: You should not dream about food, but also take actions. It is very important to make preparations, such as knowing the specific name and location……

Because we didn’t do the preparatory work well, we didn’t find it. It was windy at night, so we randomly found a small shop on the roadside that could bake and rinse it.

The English menu is also maddening. The kind-hearted Thai mm from the next table came to help us recommend the order…….

Each dish has a small quantity (of course, it is also very cheap). It is a good design to stack small plates one by one…….

Through this topic, I would also like to talk about a person’s feeling of eating in a big city.

Thailand’s meal quantity is quite small, which is probably the appearance that a set meal is enough to eat seven cents full. Look, people are healthier. No wonder Thailand has fewer fat people (of course, it is also because of the heat).

However, in Doudou’s dictionary, it is really very difficult to get seven points full. Of course, it is slightly better than some people who can’t stop eating as long as chopsticks and vegetables are in front of them……

Thailand’s fine powder is Doudou’s great love, whether it is soup or fried. However, there is really too little fine powder. There are more dishes and meat than fine powder. After a bowl went down, I was still not satisfied with it. I rightfully ordered a fried rice from my boss. How can this Chinese girl eat?

This fried rice is full of squid, shrimp, small corn, green vegetables, green peppers and red peppers, which is much more conscientious than what fried rice in China.

Perhaps you will say that a picky and edible posture like Doug will go bankrupt.

To tell you, a bowl of soup powder, a bowl of seafood covered rice, a large bottle (about 300ml) with iced Coke, and finally, 60 Thai baht!

The purse will not collapse because of this, but the stomach will definitely collapse because of this. No matter what, I will cycle around the World Heritage in the big city in the afternoon anyway. I eat more and consume more.

It’s really a blessing that I haven’t been a fat man so far in my life…….

Compared with Chiang Mai, the night market in Dacheng is more local and life-oriented. There are basically no backpackers like me who catch a SLR wandering around in it. They are more like local canteens and food snacks:

When the food is colored, when the eggs are pink…….

You can only admire the Thai people’s imagination and bold application of color, which is really unusual. We also have them, but many of them are used in other places, such as to make strawberries redder and agaric whiter…….

Thais like to eat grilled fish very much. Such a large fish is stuffed with Thai geranium spices… How much do you ask? 50 Thai baht, clearly marked, fresh out of the oven!

For Thai food, Doudou will occasionally read it from the first time he did not catch a cold to the moment he received it and loved it. Just like looking at people, of course, one must cultivate one’s insight at a glance. However, no matter what, when life pushes some people to your eyes, one must learn to understand and understand. Perhaps the final feeling will differ greatly from the original impression. Who can see everything at a glance and who has remained unchanged in the long river of time?

Hum, this week I was bitten back by someone who has an excellent attitude towards you at ordinary times. I am not afraid, I am not depressed, I just recognize some truth!

For fruit shake, Doug is deeply attached to it. If he goes to Thailand again, one of the important reasons must be this!

Before going again, make a better juicer and make a living on your own.

All McDonald’s in the world may have the same taste, but only Thailand’s uncle, like everyone here, said: Savadhika ~

The Diary of Taixing: The First Dream & The Final Faith

If the final belief…

It is the thought that makes everything troublesome, as simple as the opening of a flower…….

So, I know, one day, standing in front of you, I just smiled……

Why Thailand?

The first stop of the overseas tour was handed over to Thailand. At the beginning, there was no intention of longing for it for a long time and stirring it.

Just a friend asked in July last year: Doudou, the air ticket to Thailand and Guangzhou next March is very cheap, will you go?

Doug gritted his teeth, well, buy it, in case he can’t go, the air ticket will be cancelled……

It is crazy to overdraw in July and take a holiday in March of the following year. It is a reality to ask for leave with the boss at the end of February. I still remember vividly the fact that I took a four-day leave on National Day and got cold face from the boss. However, when Doudou said about the leave plan in fear and trembling, the boss replied with a word “yes”. It was really a personality explosion. In return, the souvenirs selected for everyone in Bangkok were given extra care…….

由此可见,看似豆豆去了”很多地方很有闲,其实假厚着脸皮冒着风险请出来的……

After booking tickets, I actually wanted to give up, because the annual leave was really limited, but I wanted to go to too many places and preferred them, and Thailand was not even within the scope of my understanding and liking.

My best friends usually propose to eat Thai food, but I usually oppose it (except to eat curry crab in banana leaves). I really can’t love the taste of Thai food.

I don’t like to pray for God and Buddha, but Thailand is a strong Buddhist country, afraid of aesthetic fatigue after a day or two.

Grandma once said: My little cousin is already in high school, and my uncle especially wants to have another daughter, but he has not been able to do so. Later, he went to Thailand and made a wish in front of the Buddha on all sides-give me a daughter… Before long, my little cousin arrived… It was just… there was a little problem with the neurological function of my right hand and right leg when I was born, so my uncle has been rushing about in various therapeutic and physical therapies for many years. Grandma said that her daughter came for help and was really a daughter……

Fortunately, with the love and care of all, my little cousin is now healthy, smart, sensible and lovely.

At that time Doudou thought: Maybe Thailand’s wish is very clever?

At that time Doudou also liked singer Fang Jiwei, who is now half converted to Buddhism. A song “Complaining about Heaven Changing Heart” was filmed in Thailand. The cold lyrics and ethereal tunes fluttered in thousands of pagodas. This is my deepest impression of Thailand.

How much helplessness does it take to complain that heaven has changed its heart?……

If I meet you and you are young, exchange your deepest feelings with your truest heart.

如果让我遇见你 而我依然年轻 也相信 永恒是不变的曾经如果让我离开你 而你已能平静 只愿你放心 也不要你担心如果让你离开我 假装我也平静 就算是伤心 也当作是无心时空阻隔岂止长路迢迢 情丝缠绕岂是长发飘飘…..

Taixing Diary (1)

Thailand’s eight-day trip, too many accidents.

The noise and sightseeing in Chiang Mai surprised me, but the ancient capital called Dacheng near Bangkok smelled of a small city.

After careful taste, Chiang Mai also has too many memorable places. On the last day, I was staring blankly at Paxin Temple and meditated. I actually remembered Jiang Xun’s “Love Book” (12 love letters to……). While waiting for Phuket’s plane, Fenbi also wrote 12 love letters to Chiang Mai, but this love letter was lost on the bus from Phuket to Bankok together with my ID card, domestic phone card and notes. Fortunately, the passport still does not affect me to go home. Fortunately, the memory is still clear and does not affect me to go back and rewrite it.

In the past, I always wanted to finish writing a city or scenic spot at a time, so I often had a show and there was no following. What did I do when I read the words that annoyed me? This time, I will break the writing.

Friends who travel with them will also take notes, probably where they went, what they ate and how much they spent……

The places that touched my heart and the delicious food that my stomach remembered did not need notes, but I could remember them. As for how much money it cost, I did not care at all afterwards.

I only care for the new experiences and new ideas brought to me by the trip. I want to record these things, because it is easy to drown in the trivial things of returning to Beijing day after day.

At the market in Chiang Mai, I had a 10-bath (equivalent to 2rmb) local breakfast like the local people. The next day, I went to U Chiang Mai recommended by Gan Gan and had a 300bath breakfast that others said was burnt. Anyway, as long as I like, what is not allowed.

As if walking in the luxurious Chiang Mai Oriental Mandarin was still in front of me, I immediately enjoyed the rural cabin of the big city alone, while the smile and gaze of the classical Buddha were less than 50 meters away from me. From the big city to Bangkok, I gave up the comfortable and fast minibus and took the train for 80 kilometers, 1.5 hours, 4RMB, natural air conditioning and all kinds of people. From the railway station to the mountain road, 6 kilometers, 1 hour, the fare is more than 20 rmb, taxi air conditioning.

To me, travel is relaxation, challenge, experience and gain a little insights.

In the next two days, slow down the trip (because the return is followed by another full five days of work), do only two things, pray devoutly in front of the four Buddhas, and then shop! However, the shopping list seems to have been lost along with the ID card, so lose it casually!

Take the slow train to Chiang Mai 12.01. 20 Chiang Mai

At the beginning of the new day, we will march towards today’s largest destination, Chiang Mai Flower Fair ROYAL FLORA.

Although it is a flower fair, the information that can be found on the Internet is pitifully small, and the official website is still too bad to open at all. The only strategy is to see bus No 11 at Chiang Mai Gate, and just sit directly to the terminal at 15B. So I set off towards the Chiang Mai Gate. When I arrived, I was dumbfounded. The Chiang Mai Gate in the morning was an morning market, full of roadside stalls, and I could not see the bus station at all. There was a bus No.11 in the middle, but I was thinking that I was going to take No.15, so I didn’t wave it to stop, and I didn’t see it stop at all. The only gain was to take this picture. Thais knew it was a flower fair when they looked at it, otherwise no one would understand ROYAL FLORA.

Later, when I found out the strategy and looked at it again, I found out that I had missed the No.11 bus. According to the strategy, I had to wait another 30 minutes before the next bus was available, so I found a toast seller to sit down and eat while asking for the news. The Chiang Mai people sitting around me are very friendly. Knowing that I was looking for the No.11 bus, I kept discussing (in Thai, so I couldn’t understand it at all) and finally came to the conclusion that I didn’t know there was this bus (faint, I clearly saw it passing by just now). After that, two old foreign men came to sit opposite me and drink coffee. I talked to them for a while. One of them lived in Thailand for a period of time and told me clearly that he had never seen any bus stop in Chiang Mai. Even if he had, he would not come every half hour as I said to persuade me to die. The other one, like me, has just come to travel. He said that he had just been to ROYAL FLORA yesterday and took a free bus from the railway station. He also took out the map and helped me find it for half a day. Because I saw bus No 11, I wanted to wait for another bus before giving up, so after thanking them, I waited for nearly half an hour. Some of them asked me to take his motorcycle, but I refused. I didn’t see any of the two cars. TUTU asked for 300. Die.

Finally, when my heart became angry, I decided not to go to the what Flower Fair and went directly to Tapeimen. The first harvest of walking on the main road was to find that there was a post office here, which was not marked on the N maps I got before, and the sign was not obvious, but it was definitely the easiest one to find recently. It took 5B to buy a postcard and 15B to send it back to Shanghai. It was only received a month ago.

Then I went to a small Thai restaurant recommended by many strategies nearby, which was full of foreigners… see, all foreigners represented expensive and disgusting, although I ate it three times in a row because I couldn’t find anything else to eat in the morning. 40B a bowl of KOH SOI (that is, yellow curry chicken noodles) has only one mouthful of noodles and a few chicken shreds, alas……

There is a LILA THAI MASSAGE nearby. Anyway, I didn’t figure out how to arrange it today and went in to make a 1H FOOT MASSAGE, 200B. The PACKAGE price of this house is actually similar to LET ‘S RELAX, but the environment inside is much worse, so I didn’t take a photo. It was very common. Although people were very NICE and laughed all the time, it was later discovered that she could speak Chinese (non-overseas Chinese, self-taught) and English was very bad. So I asked her about ROYAL FLORA. She finally wrote me a small note, all in Thai, saying that it was enough to find the TUTU car. So I took this note and went on my way. The driver of the TUTU car offered 50B, I think it’s cheap, He went to the ground happily, As a result, after driving for more than ten minutes, the driver drove to a small parking lot. Only then did I know that I was pulled to the transfer station, where there was a two-car parked and 150B drove directly to ROYAL FLORA. Otherwise, I would have to wait for six people and each 25B. I waited for about 20 minutes and no one came at all. So I tried to bargain with my little brother, who looked like a dispatcher, and said that I could not walk alone in 100B. As a result, his English was extremely poor and he could only say “150B, go now, 25B, wait”. Let me think about it, 150B is 30 RMB. Don’t care so much, just go straight. However, to be honest, my heart is still very angry, and I always feel that I have been badly hurt (of course, this has nothing to do with the massage aunt who wrote me the note. She kindly thought that she could find someone to carpool here, or thank her)

ROYAL FLORA is next to the airport, so it is quite fast to pass from the transfer station. All the way is this spacious avenue.

Outside the garden, in fact, the scenery here is still very good. I originally wanted to take more photos, but Uncle Security was too enthusiastic. Seeing me, a foreigner probably thought I couldn’t find a ticket to buy, so he rushed me all the way to the ticket gate T-T

Tickets are 200B, but there is no difference between foreigners and nationals.

After that, I entered the garden. In fact, the garden was not small and there were not few people. However, as a person who stayed from 9: 00 a.m. to 9: 00 p.m. at the Shanghai World Expo, the garden was not enough to visit and was completed in 3 hours. Basically, it is flowers and plants and buildings in various countries. In the middle, I once ate a pig’s foot meal plus a half-cooked egg and a string of grilled fish plates. This should be the most delicious roadside stall I have eaten so far. Until now, I still want to drool when I think of the taste of the egg. The fish plate has its own flavor stained with the sour, sweet, spicy sauce. Moreover, even if people open in the flower fair, they do not sit on the floor to raise the price, totaling 45B……

Many buses can be seen at the exit. I asked the drivers to return to the railway station free of charge. Although it was a detour because the railway station and ROYAL FLORA were on the east and west sides of Chiang Mai City, in order to save money, I got on it. I drove to the railway station for about 40 minutes and got on the two buses 30B to return to Chiang Mai Gate at 5: 30 p.m. The Chiang Mai Gate at night is still worth visiting. There are many vendors all the way, much more than in the morning.

It is also a super delicious beef ball noodle that exceeds the standard of roadside stalls. As soon as the beef ball is eaten, it is known that it is made of beef instead of flour. The soup head is very fresh but it is not dry after eating. 35B is the inner cow.

Do you have any impression of this? In the past, I bought a box for 20B on Kaoshan Road in Bangkok. It was delicious. It was only 10B here. As a result, when I ate it, ORZ Bangkok, which tasted completely different, contained coconut meat. I don’t know what it was, and I also put onions in it. Mistakes. Mistakes.

So I went to make up a legendary 25B banana ROTTI, which is actually an Indian flying cake. I ate it in Shanghai about 8 years ago. The difference is that Thais put condensed milk as if they didn’t want money. Therefore, my advice is not to add any ingredients, just ask for a 15B ROTTI to eat very well, because the roasted banana tastes really strange…….

Finally, I went to the fruit stall and bought two slices of cut watermelon 20B. Facts have proved that none of the fruits I bought in Thailand alone can be eaten. I can still order fruit salad in the restaurant obediently in the future. When I returned to the inn, I met an enthusiastic boss. Although I was chatting with others, I still said hello to me and asked me if I remembered how to open the door. I quickly told him that there was no problem. I could handle it. Later, I thought for half a day before opening it. Therefore, the only shortcoming of the inn should be this door.

Travels to Phuket Island 1

The charter plane belonged to Qin. The two men disguised as men on the brochure on the plane later learned from the tour guide that they were heroes who fought against foreign invaders and saved Phuket Island in history. We have seen these two sculptures located in the middle of the street on Phuket Island.


We have also visited the temples on the right.


Because the plane took off late from Xi’an, it was already dark when we arrived on Phuket Island, which was one hour later than Beijing time.


This is Phuket International Airport.


It may be a delay. There are not many people at the airport.


However, when crossing the border, the domestic tour guide confessed that everyone should have a tip of 10 yuan in his passport. It seems that the police in Qin are black enough.


Elephant sculpture with Qin characteristics was seen outside the exit of the airport.


800000, which is the number of visitors to Phuket every year.


We stayed at a seaside hotel that night.


When I got up in the morning, I found that the swimming pool in the hotel was very good, and the same was true in later hotels. Unfortunately, those who left early and returned late did not have much time to use it.


In the morning, some people who watch the sea by the sea walk in 3322.


Small shops by the sea do not open until after 10 o’clock. People on Phuket Island live a leisurely life.

Le Jie’s Honeymoon Tour Romantic Phuket Island

On December 3, 2011, It was the day my husband and I got married, We’ve been planning to go to Phuket since summer, I wanted to go to Maldives, However, the end of December is the peak season, and the cost of traveling is twice as much as usual, which is too uneconomical. Therefore, we resolutely chose Phuket Island and spent our pleasant honeymoon holiday. The following is my own experience. Of course, I also refer to the strategies of many predecessors for the reference of netizens visiting Phuket or small couples on honeymoon in the future!

Phuket Island in Thailand covers 543 square kilometers, 48 kilometers long from north to south, 21 kilometers long from east to west, and 39 outlying islands. Location: Located on the Malay Peninsula, 862 kilometers away from the capital Bangkok. Phuket borders the Andaman Sea to the west and south, and a bridge to the north connects Phuket with the mainland of Panya Prefecture.

Mihai Bay faces Jiami. Topography: Phuket Island is separated by a series of mountains and valleys extending from north to south to the west coast, accounting for about 70% of Phuket Island’s area. The highest peak is Mai Tao Sip Song, which is high.

The degree is 529 meters. The central and eastern parts are mainly land. Division: The administrative district of Phuket Prefecture is divided into three parts. Phuket Town is the most prosperous. Population: About 170,000 Residents: Mainly Thais, Chinese and Malaysians Time Difference: Bangkok Time (GMT+7) is one hour later than Beijing Time (GMT+8) Climate: May to October is the rainy season in Thailand, and when it rains, the sea water becomes turbid and loses the allure of clarity and transparency. There was much rain in the typhoon from April to May.

Personally, I think that as long as I can speak simple and basic English, I can travel freely, have fun and be at ease.

If English is too poor or even not at all, of course, it is still suggested that it is safer and more worry-free to follow the group.

Travel preparation (including air tickets and hotel reservations) ① Passport to handle the passport when you should carry your ID card and account book, you can go to the local public security organ to handle it from Monday to Saturday, and you can take photos there if you are afraid of trouble.

I took it. Generally, passport processing can be processed within 10 working days after acceptance, that is, 2-week photos can also be taken in the photo studio first, which is cheaper. As long as the passport photos are explained, the general photo studio knows how to take them.

(2) Visa this if free travel friend must do a good job in advance, with the group can landing visa! I handle it myself, generally 5 days is desirable, or I can give it to the travel agency * *, the cost will be more expensive, I and

Le Ge is like this, because he is afraid that he will not be able to catch up with the 500 people who are in urgent need. It is so expensive! ! But * * is very worry, because Chongqing has no embassy, only to send to Chengdu, passport and 1

Just take a 2-inch color photo to the travel agency. Travel agencies * * have two points to pay attention to: 1. Ask about the allowed stay period of the visa in Thailand, so don’t do it too long in advance. 2. Explain that the visa is not a group visa, because you are not with a group and enter and leave the country by yourself. In case you encounter serious officials at the gate, there will be some trouble!

The air ticket we chose Ctrip is very convenient, but because the time is late, only red-eye flights are available. If there is enough time, you can book it in advance. The time can be chosen not to say that the price is also much cheaper. Of course, ONE-TWO-GO and nokair Airlines can all choose. The websites are: www.fly12go.com and www.nokair.com respectively.

(4) When the insurance goes out, I think it is still necessary to buy one, and it is very convenient. Can be * * Chinese hotline at any time, I ordered in Hui Ze net music leisurely tour two talents 130, protect 5 days model

It is very wide. Please measure which one you want from Buy Buy or not.

(5) Accommodation I and Le Ge are still the hotels on Ctrip. You can also book hotels on the website. You can also look for them when you arrive at the place like foreign backpackers. You can stay after you are satisfied with the rooms. There may be good and cheap ones, but you should also consider the shortage of rooms during the peak tourist season. Moreover, if there are hotels on the website, they are definitely cheap to book online. Most hotels have completely different prices during the off-season and peak season, even 1-2 times the difference. The division of peak season and off season is based on the comprehensive consideration of seasonal factors and the holiday shape of foreigners.

In general, the number of tourists will increase from around Christmas to around spring break and around summer vacation, entering the peak season of tourism. During the peak season, not only will all aspects of tourism expenses increase, but also to

It is also very annoying to have people everywhere and to queue up everywhere.

Factors to be considered in planning travel time: ① Seasons with beautiful scenery and few rainy days; (2) Avoid the peak tourist season; (3) the period when accommodation prices are cheap; (4) the season of favorite seasonal fruits and specialties on the market; (5) can take a vacation time. Recommend several hotel reservation websites: 1. Www.asiarooms.com, which is highly recommended by many people. Indeed, the price of rooms is relatively cheap. There are many hotels. 2. Www.hoteltravel.com, which has a rare Chinese interface and Chinese online service. You can also see users’ Chinese comments. Moreover, hotels are classified by region and marked in the same region.

On the same map, it is clear at a glance which hotel is close to the beach, which is close to the shopping mall and which is close to the subway. The advantages of 3. Www.agoda.com.cn are obvious. There is also a Chinese interface and a Chinese online service. 4. Www.laststay.com, which offers the remaining room prices for the last 14 days. Some quotations will be more favorable. If you decide to go temporarily, you can look at it, perhaps there will be surprises.

But I have never been on this website. 5. Www.puket.com, which provides the latest and most complete picture information, is newer and more than other websites, so you can look at pictures on this one. Many hotels are directly on this network.

The above page is registered, so you can look at some hotel discount information on this. In the off season, many hotels in Phuket have similar activities such as “3-for-1”, “4-for-1” and “7-for-2”. They also

There are some information about henoymoon and package that can also be seen on this. The best thing is that this website has a clear classification of hotel types and recommended hotels according to needs.

Ranking, so it can be more convenient to choose. (When you click on the hotel page, you may be connected to www.puket-hotels.com, and then the reservation website will be different, but don’t worry about it.

6. Http://www.krabi-hotels.com and [url] www.phi-phi-hotel.com [/url] There are many PP Island hotels for reference. Previously, visitors’ comments were very important, from which you can learn the real information that many hotels and websites will not tell you, such as Tropica Bungalow, which is close to bar street and will be noisy at night.

Many people in Deevana said that hot water is not good and so on. Although everyone’s different feelings or experiences will affect his comments, it may not be accurate, but at least he can know. If it is decide

Take a fancy to which hotel and check the price on each website. The prices of the same hotel are different on each website. Attention should be paid to comparing the prices after tax and service fee are increased. You should not only look at the initial room price, but also pay attention to whether there is free breakfast, but generally there is. Our hotel: Douste Tainilaguna Hotel At pp island is the casta hotel

Le and I both like Laguna Hotel very much. Our sea view room is a great value. It is suggested that honeymooners must book at least one night. It is really romantic. It is sunny when we open our eyes in the morning. Light the beach and the people you love, that is the best honeymoon experience!

6, On the plane: Remember to slow down the time by one hour. For example, Beijing time is 9 o’clock and Thailand is 8 o’clock. Then the strategy I read said that the stewardess would issue Thailand entry cards to everyone. However, the Sichuan Airlines we took did not have or did not have entry cards. It took us a lot of time to find local staff at the airport.

so everyone asked on the plane, if there is, fill in in advance! Take out your passport and fill in the relevant information carefully (the entry form and the exit form are shared). It should be noted that:

Check (√) to distinguish Chinese habits. Thais usually cross (X) in the grid. First look at the front: 1. Name: Fill in in Pinyin, and be careful to be consistent with the passport. 2. Nationality: China, of course. 3. Gender: Just make a cross in the small square in front. Male is male and female is female. 4. Passport number: Just fill in the front page of your passport according to the number at the beginning of the letter G. Generally, it should be the number 5. Visa number: Turn the passport to the page with Thai visa, visa No. The following number is the visa number 6, date of birth: Pay attention to the order, Day/Month/Year, It should be the same as the one on the passport. Oh 7, the address of your stay in Thailand: Just fill in the name of the hotel in Phuket. To write English oh 8, inbound flight number: Everyone flew to Phuket’s flight number, Just look at the air ticket. For example, Shanghai Airlines is FM8319, signed: Write down your name in Chinese and look at the back: Most of the back questions are multiple choice questions, Just cross the right option, The rightmost ones need to be filled in: 1. Occupation: You can write whatever you want, It is good to use English. 2. Living cities and regions: chongqing 3, Country: China4, last stop city: chongqing5, next stop city: Puket, we don’t count as charter flights, Not counting the type of accommodation for group tours: The purpose of the hotel’s visit to Thailand is: There is also a departure card on the travel entry card. Write it down together. The contents to be filled in above are basically filled in on the outbound card. As long as the inbound flight number is replaced by the outbound flight number, the staff will book the outbound card on the passport after completing the formalities. This is very important. Don’t get rid of the trouble of reissuing it. If he book it online, he will borrow the stapler to book it! We have nothing

The language was that he asked us for tips and said in fluent Chinese: “Tip, 10 yuan”… so I don’t need to say please prepare 10 yuan change or 50 yuan Thai baht!

As for the exchange of money, we changed it in the Bank of China (a major branch) in Chongqing. We exchanged 20,000 Thai baht and spent 4,100. It was still very cost-effective. Only after we passed there did we find that currency exchange was very common.

There are ATM machines and exange points, but the exchange rate at airports that need to find a little exchange rate is especially low. Don’t change it at the airport unless it is necessary. The blackest one is not afraid to tell you that it is as low as 3.5…

It’s too non-conversion. Generally, 4.6-4.9 can be changed! To prepare some small banknotes of 20 and 50 Thai baht, sometimes you need to tip what! Do as the Romans do

As for sunscreen, you can buy it locally, but remember to check it in. In fact, it is more cost-effective to go to the local supermarket to buy it. The local sunscreen has a high sun protection index. It is generally 50 and 65 and 130. I bought two bottles and one.

A bottle of Nivea SF50 and a bottle of Mansureidon SF65 with a total of 500 Thai baht are completely enough for the skin and there is no sunburn. It is a little bit more inevitable unless Tiantianwo Hotel hides in the shade of trees (it is too boring, isn’t it)

All right, after I have explained these things, I will start to keep a daily account.

In the evening of 20111221, Le Ge and I took the late flight of Sichuan Airlines to Phuket directly. It took 3.5 hours. It was 1: 35 when we arrived there. We filled in the entry and exit card (mentioned earlier) and went there.

Li, then go out of the gate and directly find Ctrip’s pick-up agent. Just report your name smoothly and arrive at our reservation Laguna Hotel in about half an hour. A credit card number should be provided when checking in at the front desk, so it is better to bring one.

Then the hotel waiter took us to the room. He had a good attitude and spoke fluent English, which was much more standard than those cashiers in the 7-11 supermarket. He could basically communicate. When he arrived at the door of the room, his

One move moved me very much. He took off his shoes at the door before opening the door and motioned that we didn’t need them. Then he introduced the infrastructure and precautions and gave away red wine and cakes (because it was honeymoon) and carefully arranged the bed.

But the cake already has ants, and he asked us if we could replace it and make it up tomorrow (of course I don’t mind that no one wants to eat ant cake)

In a word

The service is very good and the attitude is very good. Let’s have a good first impression of the Thai hotel! Then we were too tired to take a bath and sleep!

The next morning we didn’t set the alarm clock and wanted to sleep until we woke up naturally, but I don’t know if we were too excited. We got up very early and pulled open the curtains, green trees and beaches.

That’s a great mood. Let’s start enjoying our honeymoon! When we changed our clothes, we opened the balcony door and quietly enjoyed the sea view and garden view and such a pleasant morning. About the same time

We took the room card and went to the restaurant for breakfast. I took photos with my camera all the way, because the scenery in the hotel was also very good. When we arrived at the restaurant, we could report the room number and show the room card.

When eating, there are many kinds of self-help products, and they will certainly be able to eat well. On the first day we were too full to eat at noon.

After breakfast, we went around again and found that the hotel has its own beach, gym, cafe, swimming pool facilities, complete facilities and beautiful scenery. This time the sea view room is really worth it!

Go back to the room and pack up some things, and we will set off for Patong! It is the most prosperous place in Phuket. I booked a special bus for the hotel.

It was a little expensive, and later I knew that I could find a private car outside and bargain, but it doesn’t matter! When we came to Patong, we first went to Jiangxi Leng (the most prosperous place in Patong’s business circle) where there was a sailing square, which was very famous. Good

Many foreigners, There’s a big supermarket on the first floor, big c, We went shopping for sunscreen and some fruit drinks to go to the beach. Patong Beach is very close to Jiangxi Leng and is 10 minutes away, so if you come next time, you can also live here. It is very prosperous and convenient. Patong Beach is very commercial. Generally, we didn’t stay long and left. It takes 30 minutes to get to Karen Beach. The tutu we called and the local taxis are 300 Thai baht all over the street.

The sand on Karen Beach was very fine, but the weather was not very good, and it rained later. At that time, for us, we were still very excited and excited, because we were still wearing down jackets yesterday and swimming in bathing suits today.

After playing on the beach, we went back to Patong and ate a lot of snacks. Pancake on the street was very delicious, as well as fish balls and noodles. KFC’s local set meal was also very delicious. What a big cup of Coke! There are also two kinds of sauces that are too cool to eat casually. Unlike in China, you have to find a counter to find more ketchup. You are not happy!

After visiting the night market in Patong, the unusually lively seafood stalls have a street that looks good (we came to have a big meal on the last day) and is facing the street selling all kinds of miscellaneous goods.

It was almost 11 o’clock when we took a taxi back to the hotel! Jie Jie took a hot bath and lay comfortably on the bed to enjoy the night scene. Le Ge was even higher. He washed the bathtub and took a beautiful bath. The next morning we went to the beach of the hotel to take photos and play after breakfast. Laguna belonged to Bantao Beach. It was very quiet and few people. We had a great time taking photos and playing with water! At noon, I booked a ticket to PP Island. I have to say that Thailand’s tourism industry is convenient (maybe just Phuket Island). We only booked the ticket, and then someone came to the hotel to pick us up to the dock. After getting off the ship, someone also sent us to the booked hotel luggage. Someone helped us to take the luggage all the way. Finally, I felt that the family was very hard and voluntarily gave a tip of 20 Thai baht!

It will be a bit boring to take a big boat for about 2 hours. I slept on the boat and ate a box of instant noodles (delicious and fresh). Le Ge went to the top of the boat to take photos and blow the sea breeze. He found that the deck was completely covered by foreigners.

Occupy, one by one with olive oil to enjoy sunbathing! (I know too much about life) The people who meet us on PP Island will gather us to go to their respective hotels according to the notes posted on each of us! The journey was smooth and easy (that is, finding luggage and trouble when getting off the ship) and don’t get rid of the notes on your clothes.

About 20 minutes to Casta, In our room, the kind of air-conditioned cabin is very green and the hardware is definitely not as good as Laguna’s. Because there are already a lot fewer good hotels on PP and they are still at another dock (we disembarked at the horse racing head), it is quite cost-effective to find a general hotel that is not 5 stars and also reduces our travel cost! Later, it was worth it, because PP Island was so beautiful that no one wanted to stay in the hotel, so they basically only slept! Ha ha

The night market on PP Island is also very lively, with good atmosphere and bars everywhere. Foreigners are extremely high, men and women are of all kinds! There is also a Massage store on the street. I went to experience it with Brother Le.

Let’s take a look at the Thai style he tried. The oil pushing technique I tried is good and pure! Easy Ha Ha (Horse Kills Chicken) We Do First and Second

The light in the room is too dim.

Pure Thai style

The streets are full of freshly squeezed juice and pancake coconuts and pineapple flavors that are the best to eat (personal opinion, mainly durian is not available and mangoes are not very fond of). The beaches and performances are very large! When we went shopping, we saw a Chinese diving coach in a shop talking about a one-day tour (in fact, if English is very good, we don’t need to find a Chinese coach, because ordinary movies will be more expensive, but Le Ge and I dare not joke about our lives and would rather spend more money). The one-day tour and half-day tour at sea are all over the street. The price is almost transparent, and it can also be compared with three goods. It is basically divided into three types. Large ships are chartered (long tail ships) speedboats. Large ships are cartels. The time is not free, but the price is 400-800 Thai baht per person. Generally, 2500b of charter time is free, but it is still time-consuming and expensive. Speedboats are expensive and fast (they are usually outsourced, and they can certainly be “extravagant” if they use one dollar as 30 Thai baht)

The thing we chose was the long tail boat (with local characteristics) and the mother of the local Chinese coach (Zhang Feifei) Le Ge. Ha ha! People are still very good. We are very patient and chat with us all the way. We also went to the company and took an underwater camera to help us take photos. We took us to places that local talents could find to watch turtles. In short, after sailing to sea, the lump sum of 4,000 Thai baht a day is worth a lot! ! The most unforgettable day in Hapi! Jie Jie’s vital capacity is too poor. After diving, she gets seasick and vomits wildly… It’s not until she sees her lover’s beach. The sand there is really fine and fine like flour. Maya Bay is too beautiful and beautiful! There is also Bamboo Island, Heaven on Earth, Paradise, and the sea is as blue and clear as the sky! Mosquito Island is the best snorkeling point. Many small fish! It’s a pity that I didn’t bring enough bread without experience. I thought I had enough bread. Who knew that there were many and hungry people there and they soon narrowed down! Pinch the bread into a lump and hold it in your hand. A large group of fish came! It’s spectacular and it still hurts a little! The accompany drawings

A lot of fish

The beach bears witness to our love.

The happy and tiring day is over! Goodbye, Mosquito Island, Maya Bay, Bamboo Island… I will not give up to leave! !

Back at the dock, we went to take an examination of the video (diving part) and then went to a seafood restaurant by the sea. The aunt who ordered the dish could speak Chinese. It was too convenient to order a big table to treat herself! Delicious @ @

Pineapple rice curry crab… saliva is going to flow again. On the last morning, we went to see the scenic spots and saw the beautiful double C beach. Although the mountain road was rugged and there were many mosquitoes in the hot weather, it was worth it to climb up and look down at the whole island. What was worth it.

Pack up your luggage in the afternoon and prepare for the return trip (there was a little incident, but it was solved) (Casta checked out at 11 o’clock and our ship was in the middle of 2: 30. What about the luggage? ? Fortunately, Jie Jie had a brainwave and found a small shop to deposit the 50 Thai baht storage fee for the boss to go shopping and have lunch hand in hand with Le Ge.) The return boat was very empty. Before boarding the ship, someone will ask you where you are going (usually nothing more than Patong Airport Hotel)-it must be said that she will write it on different notes, and when she arrives at the dock over there, someone will come back to pick you up and take you to your destination, which is very convenient!

Of course we are back to Patong! The plane is at 2: 30 p.m. And can be eaten slowly. The yoyo seafood we chose ordered a big lobster and a 1000 Thai baht meal, the most luxurious and expensive meal, but it tastes good and pineapple rice tastes great! Excellent Lobster Ball with Garlic

In the end, we took a bus to the airport, changed our boarding passes early, went to duty-free shops, and went to L ‘Or é al, which is said to be very cheap. It is really cheap. There are other big brands whose prices are cheaper than those in the shopping malls. Jie Jie also bought a complete set of products. However, I want to say that those aunts and aunts are exaggerating. Although they are cheap, they still need money. Everyone should raise a big one. Baskets were piled up with people in line to surround the cashier on the third floor inside and the third floor outside.

We used all the other money to buy gifts and souvenirs, so we did not list them one by one. The main reason was that there were too many things to fit in the suitcase. We also bought a large suitcase and returned 4000 Thai baht (heartache). The above contents are for reference only. In short, Le Ge and I deeply like this small Thai island in this line! I will go again in the future!

PS shopping experience I generally don’t know if it’s expensive. It’s just for your reference. Salon 200 Thai baht, a coin wallet (5 packs), 80 Thai baht incense, a set of 80 Thai baht headdress (hair band), 30 Thai baht handmade bag, 69 Thai baht T-shirt, 100 Thai baht handicrafts… I can’t find the price at all. I don’t know how to bargain. I don’t buy tutu cars. I must bargain for meals and also bargain for seaside tours. Music items also need to cut prices for snacks and snacks. You can buy a seaside beach chair at the supermarket at 100 Thai baht. Street snacks can’t be bargained for at least 100 baht (it depends on your skill)

OK Honeymoon Journey Successfully Ends December 2011 My husband and I have a pleasant and unforgettable journey on PP Island, Phuket Island, Thailand. Thank you, Brother Le, for your care and care for I love U throughout the process.

Lotus, and smile… Xiaoyao Koh Samet Island

He got up early and walked barefoot to the terrace. The grass leaves were stained with dew. A big red Fusanghua leaned out to say good morning. Waves were high Lin Tao and low waves. The wind was blowing. . .

The hut I live in is located on the west side of the island, far from the hubbub. Looking around, except for a few wooden houses and tall coconut trees, the sea water was shining with little white light in the sun, and there was not even a figure walking along the path. However, I guess the little squirrel with the gray tail came to visit. The welcome fruit on the Xiao Mu table on the terrace was empty. The peel left over yesterday was missing and the kernel was still there. . . . . .

This is Koh Samet Island, a small island about three or four hours’ drive from Bangkok. Its name is easily confused with Sumi Island. At first, I wanted to go to Sumi Island. I didn’t have enough time. Sumi Island was too far away from Bangkok. The second option is Elephant Island, which is closer to Sumi Island. Elephant Island can ride elephants, hike and go to sea in fishing villages. The content is too rich. I only have three days, and it takes two and a half days to go back and forth. I still want to choose a closer and simpler place. I don’t take part in what activities. I just stare blankly at the sea and live a lazy life for two days. Koh Samet Island, I heard, is very small and suitable.

It takes less than half an hour to take a speedboat from the dock to Sumer Island. There are only two resorts on the west beach, and only seven or eight guests on the speedboat disappeared into wooden houses in the jungle. If it weren’t for the waiter, I really doubted that I had arrived in a primitive village. The waiter left and looked inside the cabin. The windows were all made of wood and covered with green. The dark brown wood floor creaked and walked out of the house. On the edge of the wooden steps, there was a jar filled with water, allowing guests to wash their feet when they came back from the seaside. So here, the shoes can be put aside completely, returning to simplicity and truth, starting with one step.

However, after all, it is a resort. No jungle primitive invited you to fish and cut rubber. Every day, in addition to enjoying the sea view and delicious food, playing with water, sitting on the terrace in front of the door, drinking a cup of green tea, reading books, listening to birds singing, surrounded by the woods, leaning against the green hills, I feel as if I have returned to the summer vacation when I was a student, the days when I was freely playing in the mountains, and the days when I was as transparent as spring water.

If you feel too quiet, you can also go to the eastern end of Koh Samet Island. Koh Samet Island is a long and narrow island. From the west to the east, it crosses the mountain forest and takes less than 20 minutes to walk to the bustling east coast. This is still a paradise for Westerners. They like to lie on the beach in a glance and bask in it without fear of the burning sun. From a distance, there is no difference. The peddlers hung several colorful silk scarves on their shoulders and peddled them along the beach.

I sat in the shade of a tree, holding the green coconut I just bought, enjoying the coolness far away from the hot and spicy. A local girl set up a handicraft booth nearby. After a while, we chatted. She said that the bracelets and necklaces on the booth were all made by herself. I envied her skillfulness and asked her, “Can you braid your hair? My editor-in-chief is not good. “

She said, “I’ll weave one for you” and picked up a comb to comb my hair. It took only two minutes to braid the hair. She took a close-up with my camera and told me her name: “This is called fishbone plait”.

This is really interesting. People at the seaside weave braids all related to the sea. Walking around with fishbone braids is a bit like a fisherman’s girl.

The east side of the island is rich in activities, including various water recreations. Cafes and restaurants are close to each other and serve well. In one of the Chinese meals, it happened to be a ladyboy who came to order for me. Her hair was tied into a ponytail, her blush was painted, her manner was natural, and her voice was soft. As soon as she spoke, I immediately felt that my voice was too high. When she walked away with the menu, someone greeted her and stopped to stand there. She was already slim, wearing shorts, revealing strong and long legs, and her slight side posture was a bit like a mermaid. She was indeed more female than a woman. . .

Although the east coast is lively, it will return to the west at four or five o’clock in the afternoon. The reason why I chose to live in the west is not only quiet, but also suitable for watching the sunset.

The sunset on Koh Samet Island is far less spectacular than that on Kimbalan, Bali. It is more homely, just like sitting in front of one’s own house and looking at it leisurely. The clouds in the west are also beautiful, but it is not shocking. It was not a Shakespeare-style stage play, but a fresh sketch. The former is breathless, while the latter just makes you at peace.

Not only the sunset, but also the island’s dog Xiao Mao is very common. When you eat, they crouch at your feet and watch you quietly. A Xiao Mao jumped to the seat beside me while I was having dinner and watched silently. He was not in a hurry. I put a shrimp head beside the plate. It stretches its feet lightly and hooks them into its mouth. It moves skillfully, but it won’t move the food on your plate.

It was cloudy when I left Koh Samet Island on the third day. When the sea is cloudy, it is not blue, but jasper and jadeite. The waves send small stones ashore and polish them round and smooth. Peach blossom powder, ivory white and light yellow are available in all colors. The sand beauty of the sand beauty is not like these small stones.

In addition to memory, what can’t take it away either. I only take a few beautiful small stones.

Leisurely Visit Cities in Northern Thailand

Leisurely Visit Cities in Northern Thailand

In March 2000, I took my parents to Bangkok and Phuket in Thailand. I will never forget the noise and luxury of Thailand’s traditional tourist attractions. After listening to a friend’s introduction, several cities in northern Thailand are of primitive simplicity and serene with beautiful scenery. At the beginning of October this year, our group of 10 people packed up and set off in 2 cars.

We left the country at Mohan Port in Mengla County and stayed in Nanta Province in Laos to bask in the sun. In the evening, we had dinner by the Mekong River and looked across the river at Qingkong, a small Thai city. The charming scenery was somewhat mysterious.

The next day, we took a ferry across the Mekong River with people and cars and arrived at Qingkong to go through the relevant formalities for entering Thailand. It is more convenient to travel to Laos and Thailand by car, both of which are landing visas. Thailand also has visa-free fees.

We went through Qingsheng to Mi Sai, where we felt the style and features of one city and two countries. Mi Sai and Myanmar’s Taqili depend on each other. The country stands in the center of the city and is the boundary between the two countries. The border residents live in harmony, communicate with each other and do border trade.

On the way from Misai to Chiang Rai, we visited the Queen Mother Garden. In the garden, we met a group of young girls from the Arab world. The addition of beautiful girls added some beauty to the Queen Mother Garden.

Chiang Mai, the ancient capital of Thailand, is the largest government and the second largest city in Thailand. It is known as “Beauty and Rose” and is a political, economic, cultural and educational center in northern Thailand. It is also a famous summer resort in Southeast Asia.

Chiang Mai gives me a better impression than Bangkok. Chiang Mai is quiet and the folk customs are relatively simple. According to a survey by Asia Weekly, Chiang Mai ranks 13th among the most livable cities in Asia, ahead of Bangkok.

When you arrive in Chiang Mai, you must visit the night market. Chiang Mai is famous for its handicrafts, with the largest variety in the country. There I bought 20 scarves and brought them back to my colleagues. My colleagues couldn’t put it down. Yesterday, another colleague called me and asked for another one. Unfortunately, I have no more.

In Chiang Mai, I had an adventure with Elder Sister Jian Fang. I haven’t seen her for nearly 10 years. In my early years, I heard that she was doing business in Canada and didn’t expect to meet at the hotel we stayed in. Elder sister warmly received us and took us to the Maisa Elephant Camp located in the northwest of Chiang Mai City. Elephant Camp is one of the earliest elephant performance venues in Thailand, with a relatively large scale and hundreds of elephants. The most wonderful elephant performance was painting. The elephant painter shook his head and drew a realistic elephant in a short time. It really made people sigh. We rode elephants to play in the nearby mountain forests and streams and had a wonderful day.

Personally, I think that if you have not been to Chiang Mai, you cannot really appreciate Thai customs. I will go again when I have the chance.

What impressed me most during the 8-day trip to Thailand was Mesla. The vast mountainous areas in northern Thailand are steep, shrouded in mist and fresh in air. There are a special group of “Chinese” living there. In December 1949, Yunnan was peacefully liberated. The People’s Liberation Army defeated the last two armed forces of the Kuomintang. They fled to Myanmar and Vietnam and joined the scattered troops of the Chinese Expeditionary Force one after another to form the “Yunnan XX National Salvation Army”.

After being alone, it was used by the Thai government to exterminate the Miao Communist Party active in its northern territory. After years of war, the Miao Communist Party was finally eliminated by the alone army, and his life and blood were exchanged for the approval of the Thai Dynasty and a valuable ID card was obtained. They camped in the valleys of the Longpa Mountains in northern Thailand and became self-reliant, planting tea, coffee, fruits, flowers, litchi, soybeans, corn and other agricultural alternative crops to earn their own living. They named this place “Mesla”, which means “Peace Village”.

Later, they set up the “Museum of Literature and History of the Righteous People in Northern Thailand”, for which Mr. Bai Yang of Taiwan wrote an inscription.

Yes, after counting many battles, large and small, they are still not allowed to win in foreign countries, because they have embarked on a road of no return, unable to go to the mainland, unable to turn to Taiwan, and even unable to be accommodated by the local government. They were defeated in a foreign country and only died. Apart from seemingly more heroic death, can they choose a more glorious life? They died in a foreign country and decayed with the vegetation. They are already a group of forgotten Chinese who have no name or surname and are not remembered. They have been reduced to ashes in a foreign country.

Re-visit to “Canjun” (3)-Today’s Messile

Messile Today

In 1980, after Duan Xiwen’s death, Chief of Staff Thunderstorm Tian became the commander of the Fifth Army and concurrently served as the commander of the “People’s Self-Defense Forces in Northern Thailand”. Thunderstorm Field, formerly known as Zhang Bingshou, was born in 1918 in Quxi, Yunnan (now Jianshui Qujiang) and graduated from Nanjing Central Military Police School in 1937. After eight years of Anti-Japanese War, he successively served as Kunming Military Police Captain, Army Chief of Staff, Army Commander and Commander in Chief.

In 1981, in cooperation with the Thai government, the Thai Communist guerrilla forces occupying the Kokao mountain area were encircled and suppressed, which also became the last battle in the history of the “remnant army”. It was also during Thunderstorm’s more than ten years in office that the “disabled army” completed the transition from soldiers to civilians and from armed drug trafficking to diversified businesses.

Since 1992, Mesler has gradually opened up to the outside world. Accurately speaking, it is to enliven the tourism economy and make money by using the reputation of the “Golden Triangle”. There are many stalls on both sides of the street, mainly selling some tea and dried fruits that are used as real estate. The rest of the goods are mostly mainland goods. There are medicines, snacks, department stores, etc. The folkway here is simple and honest. When you see tourists, whether you buy it or not, you will first offer a cup of “Kung Fu Tea”. And can taste all kinds of food at will. Most of the vendors are descendants of the “national army” and claim to be from Yunnan, but most of them do not know which county their ancestral home is.

The former battlefield is now changing. No matter they have done what in the past, fought as soldiers, fought against Japan and killed the enemy, fought outside the civil war, counterattacked the mainland, fought for supremacy with dragons and snakes, trafficked * *… but their last spiritual home, the final destination of their souls is only one: that is, the land of China!

In writing this article, I would like to thank a Taiwanese friend in particular for driving a motorcycle and taking me all the way to Mesla on the dangerous Panshan Highway. Mesler is more than 90 kilometers away from Chiang Rai, and public transportation is inconvenient. I was able to arrive smoothly, thanks to him! Interestingly, he is from Taiwan and I am from the mainland. We represent both sides in this struggle. What we are visiting together is a group of military people who have been beaten away by the mainland and led by Taiwan. However, it is precisely a Taiwanese who helped me realize this wish smoothly! This relationship is too subtle, then use the common conscience of all Chinese and Chinese to explain what happened! What is more interesting is that with the communication, I found that he was from green camp, that is, the Taiwan independence faction, and was anti-Kuomintang. However, he had to go through hardships to visit places where Kuomintang soldiers had fought. When he went to Meisle and entered Duan Xiwen Cemetery, he did not worship the mausoleum (I not only worshipped the mausoleum but also donated money. Later he asked me if I had donated money? When I said I donated, there was obviously a trace of approval in his eyes)? When I arrived at the loyal mourning hall, I did not enter the room? All of them just looked at it from a distance. Why? It has always been inconvenient to ask him, and it has always been a mystery!

The smoke finally cleared away, the smoke faded away, the war turned into peace, and hatred was being forgotten. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party have once again joined hands to accomplish the great cause of the reunification of the motherland, although the road is quite long…….

Another Visit to “Canjun” (2)-Father of Mesler

Father of Mesler

The two armies left Myanmar and entered northern Thailand. Duan Xiwen led the 5th army into Mi Thoreau on the northern Thai border and arrived in a small village inhabited by more than 20 Lisu families. They saw that the place was steep, remote and isolated, and close to the Thai-Myanmar and Thai-Lao borders. They could attack in advance and defend in retreat. Duan Xiwen decided to set up a military headquarters here and renamed it Mesler, which has been carried on to this day.

Duan Xiwen (1900-1980), a native of Yiliang, Yunnan, graduated from Yunnan Jiangwu Hall and was an alumnus of Marshal Zhu De and Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh.

He took over the full control of the Golden Triangle from Li Guohui, who founded the Golden Triangle in l950, and became the “Xigong Era” of the Golden Triangle. He said, “Without Xigong, there would be no Messile (Golden Triangle)”.

In the 1970s, feeling that there was no hope of counterattacking the mainland, he announced that he would “give up counterattacking the mainland and not make enemies with the mainland”. He surrendered to Thailand, severed ties with Taiwan and became a minister to the Thai king. It was also reorganized into the “People’s Self-Defense Forces in Northern Thailand.”

The Thai Emperor received the photo (the photo was taken at the Yimin Loyalty Memorial Hall in the northern part of Mesla)

He made great contributions to the battle in Mount Padang. Thai King Rama IX met him at the Imperial Palace. The “royal gift” was a Thai national. All his troops and their families joined Thai nationality on the spot and enjoyed the same treatment as the Thai army and their families (this is not the case, and quite a few of them did not get Thai nationality). In 1980, Duan Xiwen died of illness in Thailand at the age of 80. The King of Thailand personally sent a message of condolence. The body was covered with the Thai flag. Prime Minister Chachai attended the funeral. A luxurious mausoleum was built on the high ground one kilometer from Mesla.

The mausoleum faces the north and is deeply attached to the motherland.

Chinese Secondary School Founded by Duan Xiwen

When you are in Mesla, you have a feeling of being in China. What you hear is Chinese Putonghua. You see that the shops are written in Chinese, the street signs are written in Chinese, and the restaurant menu is written in Chinese. In short, it is no different from a small Chinese town. Since the Chinese army has actually controlled northern Thailand for more than 20 years, The control area is as large as 150,000 square kilometers. As a result, there are many places where Chinese is spoken and used. In the three provinces of Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai and Mifengsong, you can meet people who speak fluent or stiff Chinese. They greet you warmly and talk to you about the dribs and drabs of China and the Chinese soldiers at that time here. This shows the great influence of this “disabled army” in Thailand.

After the Kuomintang withdrew from Myanmar, Duan Xiwen brought the Fifth Army to Mesler, set up education, set up Chinese schools, set up planting and planting tea trees, and announced that he would not be an enemy to the mainland. This initially brought the Fifth Army to a stable stage and laid the foundation for long-term development. People in Mesler call him “the father of Mesler”.
