Thailand's Chiang Mai, Pai, Koh Samui, Bangkok (abundant beautiful pictures + motorcycle, car Road trip) ?

Looking forward to the update

The female lead's long legs are so enviable

It's so beautiful, the angle of the photo is quite good!

Due to the Sunday night market in Chiang Mai, we returned the motorcycle in advance. The old city is very small, and we walked to Tha Phae Gate. I drank Red Bull, which is produced in Thailand and is really cheap. But remember to drink less. I drank 3 bottles in one day and couldn't sleep at 2 am. The Sunday night market in Chiang Mai is the largest, starting at 5 pm with various snacks, fruits, clothing, and souvenirs.

Time is almost up, the car to pick up guests to Nanyuan Island is coming~go Yoga enthusiasts~ Quiet and peaceful morning~ 20 minutes to the pier, ready to go snorkeling~ Endless and unknown direction~ We chose the fast boat of L company, the advantage is to save time, the disadvantage is seasickness! My wife is really pitiful, she was seasick all the way, I regret choosing this fast boat~ So friends who are prone to motion sickness are advised to choose a cruise~ The journey takes 2 hours, not to mention my wife, I also feel a little dizzy! But when we arrived at Nanyuan Island, we were shocked by the scenery~ I can only describe it as blue sea and sky, and if I have to add one more word, it would be white clouds~ Wearing equipment ready to go snorkeling~ If you want to see the beautiful scenery under the sea, you have to swim into the deep sea~ Actually, we were ready to go snorkeling in the Japanese garden, but my wife couldn't recover from seasickness for half a day, so we didn't make it~ Clear sea water~ This guy insisted that I take a picture of him~ Okay, I remember to show it to him after I take it, and tell him it's very nice, he actually happily took a picture of my butt and walked away! Damn it~ The sand here is really soft, very comfortable to step on~ Long-tail boats can be chartered for sea play~ The famous person-shaped beach here must be climbed to see, it takes about 30 minutes, my wife gave up~ I walked alone in loneliness~ This beautiful scenery is really not easy to see, all kinds of dangerous climbing~ Before seeing this scene, taking a boat, climbing a mountain, no matter how hard and tiring it is, it's worth it! All foreigners! Walking on the soft white beach is very comfortable~ There are shops on the island where you can buy drinks, so don't worry~ Next, take a boat for about 10 minutes to Tao Island for snorkeling, you don't have to go ashore, just jump into the sea for snorkeling~ really beautiful~ I was so excited that I forgot to take off my beach pants and jumped into the sea~ Look, so many fish~ Do my legs look like a girl's? The return trip was extremely seasick, the wind and waves were a bit strong, and I didn't have the energy to take pictures, so I went straight back to the hotel~

This sea is amazing, so beautiful

The original post is filled with love~~

Wow, catch the live broadcast?

On the way back to the hotel, passing by the Four-Faced Buddha~ Still bustling~ BTS is going home~ Bangkok is too hot, spent the whole afternoon in the hotel with air conditioning, and went out for supper at night~ There is an alley to the right of the hotel, with a night market inside, all local places to eat, cheap and delicious! Bangkok, for me, is just a transit point. I don't like busy cities, so good night Bangkok~ DAY-8 The hotel helped to call a taxi to the airport for 300B~ a very reasonable price. Came a little early, let's have a DQ~ a price not available in China. Waiting to board~ From the fresh and clean Pai in northern Thailand to the charming island of Koh Samui in southern Thailand, and then to the crowded Bangkok, 8 days is really too short, not enough time to savor it slowly. The hasty itinerary also left some regrets for this trip~ Perhaps this will be the reason for us to go again next time. Never blame any day in your life. Good days give you happiness, bad days give you experience, worst days give you a lesson.

Today I set off for Koh Samui. Why did I choose Koh Samui in Thailand: I like quiet, can't stand the hustle and bustle of Phuket, and Krabi feels poor, so I chose Koh Samui (ps: There is a saying: go to Koh Samui if you have money, go to Krabi if you don't, and Phuket is just meh. I don't have money but I still want to go to Koh Samui, I want to try how high the consumption is 0.0) Koh Samui is the second largest island in Thailand, developed relatively late, relatively primitive, with mostly Europeans and Americans on the island, so the consumption is also the highest in Thailand. In order to maintain its unique tranquility, it even refused to be a location for Hollywood movies~ Another reason for the small number of people on Koh Samui is transportation (Koh Samui has an airport, and it is one of the most beautiful airports in the world, but Bangkok Airways monopolizes the flights to Koh Samui Airport, so the prices are very high, a one-way flight from Bangkok to Koh Samui is about 1000+, so most people choose the bus and boat service of AirAsia or Nok Air, which takes about 6 hours. One is expensive and saves time, the other is cheap but takes too long. I chose the bus and boat service of AirAsia because I booked a special ticket during AirAsia's big promotion, so it's only 150 one way, it feels like it's free 0.0), I'm thinking if it weren't for Deng Chao and Sun Li going to Koh Samui for vacation, Wang Sicong celebrating his birthday in Koh Samui, Jay Chou and Hannah Quinlivan honeymooning at the W Hotel, there would be even fewer people who know about Koh Samui~ An early morning, smoothly checked out and drove to the airport to return the car, refueled on the way (remember to return the car with a full tank of gas), the fuel receipt is similar to the domestic fuel price~ I have to admit that AirAsia's so-called 7kg is actually just a scare tactic~ Throughout the 6 flights, except for the last flight to Xi'an, my luggage was never checked~ AirAsia stewardess~ Chiang Mai to Koh Samui, I didn't buy a connecting ticket, so I had to transfer once, I reserved 2 hours, in fact, more than enough~ Suddenly heavy rain in Bangkok~ 30 minutes delay~ The sky is blue and the clouds are white~ Is this for drying pants or jewelry? AirAsia bus and boat service: There is an AirAsia counter at the exit of the plane, show them your ticket, the staff will give you a boat ticket, then they will put a label on you, and you will see a bus at the door, the connection is very smooth~ 1 and a half hour drive to the pier~ After arriving at the pier, go inside and check in~ The rest of the time is waiting for the boat~ The scenery on the deck is still good, just too sunny~ AirAsia's boat has an air-conditioned area and a non-air-conditioned area, there are very few people on the boat, so you can sit anywhere~ Do you know why there are so few people? The main purpose of this boat is actually to transport these cars to the island~ People are just incidental 0.0 The little girl is really beautiful~ My wife stared at her all the way~ There are a lot of empty seats~ The scenery on the deck is really beautiful~

Today I booked a day trip to Nangyuan Island and Tao Island~ I really don't want to waste a minute in Koh Samui, so I got up very early in the morning and decided to go for a walk on the beach~Watch the sunrise at Bophut Beach~ A beautiful day starts with the sunrise~

Bangkok~In the morning, I encountered a black car driver as soon as I went out. He said he would use the meter, but once I got in the car, he changed his mind and demanded 600 baht, and he even drove in the opposite direction. I pointed to the navigation and told him he was going the wrong way, and said I could only give him 200 baht. If he didn't agree, he should let me get off. The driver dropped me off at the roadside after a minute, it was really a scam! It's really difficult to get a taxi, there are too many black cars. I encountered a tuk-tuk and paid 150 baht to go to the Grand Palace~As soon as I arrived, I heard a broadcast saying that the Grand Palace is open all day, don't be deceived~ It shows how many scammers there are in Bangkok! 500 baht per person~ It's relatively expensive in Thailand. It's crowded with people~ It's really a challenge to find a place to take photos without anyone around.I finished visiting in about 30 minutes, I wasn't interested in the Jade Buddha Temple~ I planned to go to the duty-free shop.At the entrance of the Grand Palace, I took a taxi to the King Power Duty-Free Shop. The driver told me that we needed to make a stop at a certain place, and I guessed it was a shopping spot. After I refused, I took a tuk-tuk for 200 baht.Then I went to Siam Chuan Xing Restaurant for dinner~The signature dish is curry crab~After dinner, I strolled around the shopping malls near Siam Square~ They are all very close~ BIG C, Thailand's largest supermarket, has everything you need~ The Year of the Ox... so scary~ Big mango~

My trip to Chiang Mai, without various temples, or bungee jumping, riding elephants, just simply riding a motorcycle leisurely in the small town, went to Suthep Mountain to see the panoramic view of Chiang Mai (did not go to the Twin Dragon Temple), ate mango rice on Nimman Road, felt the fresh streets and houses, and ended in the hustle and bustle of the Sunday night market. Chiang Mai is a place worth savoring slowly, a place of tranquility and beauty. A beautiful day starts with breakfast. Chiang Mai is still a bit cold in the morning, so the pool is empty. I have always been curious if this is a mango tree. A small shop full of style. The Wat Pha Lat in the picture was not in my itinerary. I rented a motorcycle along the road, and the boss took me to pick up the motorcycle. I didn't expect the pick-up location to be next to Wat Pha Lat. Well, let's take a picture then.

Unconsciously it's already 12 o'clock, let's have lunch on the spot~ ps: My wife loves mango juice~ This shop is also quite popular online, and it's all Chinese after all~ The cost performance is average, but the taste is good.

The third stop: Ma Li Bai Hotel, Big Tree Swing. A row of small wooden houses, I had actually booked this hotel before, but due to the itinerary, I didn't stay. Big tree swing. Invincible mountain view. Fourth stop: Pink House. Little princess. It's time to eat. Lucky restaurant in Baixian County. How many people's voices are there? 0.0 This gesture does not mean ok, it means vomited 3 times.

Do not waste the few years that can be squandered, do not miss the most brilliant time of youth. Travel early, while you are young and ignorant, while you have few prejudices, while you are still brave and curious, while you still long for the distance, while your mindset is still open, while you are not willing to escape the truth of reality. When all this is over, you still have memories in your hands, you can savor, comfort yourself, share, and warm others. ----- "I like, myself on the road". Waited for a year and finally waited until today, so I couldn't wait to check in at the airport early~ Arrived in Chiang Mai at ten o'clock, the quiet night in the small city is very beautiful~ The hotel is in the ancient city, the location is very good, and check in smoothly~ Good night

The night market is crowded with people and very lively~ Remember that day when we were strolling through the night market, suddenly the broadcast spoke a lot in Thai, and then the national anthem played. All the foreigners and Thais stood still, no one spoke, no one moved. Suddenly, the noisy market turned into a street with no noise at all... The Thai people sang the national anthem, and we foreigners listened quietly. This scene was really touching, just like in a movie. When we got tired of walking, we sat down for a foot massage, which was really comfortable and the technique was great, and it was very cheap! For dinner, we chose the famous Fei Fei Braised Pork Rice, which is also very popular online. The owner, who wears a cowboy hat and looks like Fei Fei, is called that by everyone. The taste was great~ How delicious it was can be seen from our expressions. Fei Fei Braised Pork Rice is located at the North Gate, a bit far from the hotel. After strolling all night, we couldn't walk anymore, so we took a tutu car back home to rest. The tuk-tuk in Thailand is really fast, but it feels very cool to ride in it. Our hotel is also on the same street, so we went for some late-night snacks. I think this must be the expression of being full and satisfied tonight~ Good night.

Returning to Chiang Mai at 6pm, the hotel parked the car and went out to find food, looking at her expectant eyes... Mango rice ~ sweet but not greasy. Today is not just tired, if it weren't for the 3 bottles of Red Bull in my stomach, I don't know if I still have the energy to walk ~ so a Thai massage is necessary! 200B for a full body massage for an hour, this cost performance is not discussed ~ On the road of foodies, it never stops. Fresh chicken legs with Thai chili sauce ~ refreshing. Goodnight Chiang Mai ~

Due to the sunrise at the beach in Chaweng the next day, I rented a motorcycle for 200B to go to Maitra for seafood! It took about 20 minutes to ride a motorcycle. How big? Seafood rice, lobster, crab, Tom Yum Goong, scallops. When my wife ordered, she was very excited. I want this, this, this, and this. As a result, I vomited many times today due to seasickness, and I couldn't eat much. There was a pile left, and I managed to finish it in 30 minutes by myself, almost bursting! I want to say that the origin of this meal for 3330B: When I ordered the lobster, it showed 186 on the menu. I thought it was 186 Thai baht, and I thought it was too cheap, so I ordered a big one! As a result, when I checked out, the waiter told me that 186 does not mean Thai baht, it means number!!! Haha, I was shocked. When I got home, I thought that although the online said that this seafood stall is affordable, it is impossible for a lobster to be 186 each. So stupid, so stupid, so stupid! Well, let's have a good meal and sleep well~

On the way to Suthep Mountain, I passed by Chiang Mai University. I originally wanted to ride a motorcycle in, but now Chiang Mai University does not allow it. You have to take a tour bus to go around, but I don't like this mode. I planned to go in if I could, and leave if I couldn't. But I was still stopped by the security guard. Since I couldn't go in, I just took a look around. It takes about 25 minutes to ride a motorcycle from Chiang Mai University to the mountain. The road is easy to travel, but there are some bends that require slowing down. There are many motorcycles passing by me. I suddenly felt that I couldn't be so timid, and I opened the throttle like a Thai person. Note that if you ride a motorcycle up the mountain, remember to wear long pants and a jacket because it's a bit cold on the mountain, and the wind from the motorcycle makes it even colder. Also, remember to wear a helmet. When renting a motorcycle in Chiang Mai, the price is around 200B. I rented one for 250B, and I had to leave my passport as a deposit. When returning, remember to fill up the gas. It usually costs about 50B to fill up. And remember to wear a helmet. I forgot to ask for one when I rented the motorcycle, and I was fined 300B by the traffic police for not wearing a helmet. If you also encounter traffic police, even if you are wearing a helmet, they may still check if you have an international driver's license. If you don't, you may still be fined. In that case, remember to negotiate with them and settle for 200B or 300B.

The wife waved her hand and said, 'Let's go!' The library hotel was originally not allowed to take photos, but after my earnest request, they agreed to give me 10 minutes. A pool covered with rose petals, a couple looking at the sea and having breakfast, the library hotel's private beach. Yesterday I was seasick and today I still haven't recovered. Next stop, W Hotel. W Hotel is usually not open to the public, but from 11 am to 3 pm it's tea time, the only time tourists can consume here and take photos. Due to our inability to wait until the afternoon, after communicating with the security, they agreed for us to have breakfast at the hotel and then visit. The waitress first asked me very friendly if I wanted to have breakfast outside or inside, I said outside, and then told me it was 1500 Thai baht for the buffet. I said it was too expensive, asked her to bring the menu, and ordered a 250B oatmeal with milk. Done! The legendary lotus pond is so beautiful. Around 10 o'clock, I returned to the hotel and went straight to the pool. You can probably guess what happened next - I hit my head. I want to lie here for a day, and if I add a glass of juice, it would be perfect. It's lunchtime.

After a 2-hour boat trip, we finally arrived at Koh Samui. The first impression of Koh Samui: deserted white sandy beaches. When we got to the exit, someone asked us which hotel we were going to and if we needed a taxi. The prices were reasonable, 200B per person for a minibus. Since there were few people on the boat, the four of us shared a car with a very friendly German couple. The sunset on Koh Samui was beautiful. By the time we arrived, it was almost dark. It took about 50 minutes from the pier to the hotel. After checking in, we went to find food nearby. There were many restaurants along the way, and we had trouble deciding. In the end, we chose a restaurant full of foreigners. The restaurant was very popular, and I don't know why everyone there was a foreigner except for us. The service was also quite slow. We consoled ourselves with some coconut juice and beer. The cost of living on Koh Samui is indeed high. I ordered a Tom Yum soup, a seafood fried rice, and black pepper shrimp, which cost 140 RMB. Hi, I'm from China, Hong Kong. The Ibis Hotel on Koh Samui has great value for money. I recommend it! The hotel's night view was beautiful. A group of foreigners were drinking and chatting on the beach, and it felt great. Whenever I saw something related to children, I would rush over. Oh well. I enjoyed the sea breeze and relaxed. Goodnight.

Passing by the zoo. Nimman Road is full of fresh and unique feeling. Mango Tango is a shop opened by a Thai celebrity. It's a bit early to come, and there is no one there. My wife is as happy to see a cat as she is to see food.

practical!

Tips are very useful

Absolute Freshness!!

The second stop~coffee in love. This path doesn't know where it leads to. Abandoned bus.

Wow! Are you going snorkeling?

I'm here to watch the fun, please update the post.

So beautiful, the photo was taken really well

Wow, so beautiful, whether it's the scenery or the people

Waiting for update

Trailer for Koh Samui

The fifth stop: the heart of Baixian, the inverted cabin. The sixth stop: two-station bridge. The seventh stop: tree house. I want to live with you in a small town, sharing endless dusk and endless bell ringing. Baixian is very small, and all the attractions are quickly visited. Because in Pai, I went to the pharmacy to buy motion sickness medicine for my wife, and my wife fell asleep. The rest is me driving back to Chiang Mai alone for 3.5 hours on the mountain road. I can't stand it anymore, let me rest for a while.

Waiting for update

Two people's journey, on the road to meet a better me, also met the most precious you. Accompanying you for the next six years, we will continue to walk hand in hand, forever on the road. Perhaps, the most beautiful thing is not to keep time, but to keep memories. Starting this long-awaited journey, there are more memories about the two of us. When I understand, the best journey is not where to go, but the companion. What it brings is not just a broader view, but also a deeper emotion. Coming to Chiang Mai, passing through Pai County, and crossing Samui, people discover a long-lost touch in a strange place, a feeling that they don't want to leave once they arrive. We still don't know the name of the flower we saw that day, but we know that the flower is still blooming in the distance. This trip started a year ago. In September 2014, I had just returned from a free trip to Bali. I couldn't forget the beautiful scenery of Bali and the warm people for a long time, so I was looking forward to the next trip. Just happened to encounter a big promotion from AirAsia, so I discussed with my wife and booked round-trip tickets from Xi'an to Bangkok! From then on, I spent a year planning the route and booking hotels! A year! It's really been a long wait! If I don't go out, I will never know how beautiful the world outside is. That's the meaning of travel. Background music: August Band - Thank Each Other

The place where the original poster went is also on my itinerary.

Great!

Amazing!! What more could a man ask for with such a beautiful wife?

OP is so beautiful~~ Looking forward to more photos

The photo of the original poster is very artistic and has a strong sense of petit bourgeois.

Waiting for the host to update

I have to doubt that the host is here to show off his wife, haha

The photo is very beautiful

Is the road from Chiang Mai Old City to Pai in good condition?

Wow!! Found a goddess!

The host is good at taking pictures, and the female lead is very beautiful.

Chaweng Beach is the most beautiful beach on Koh Samui, and also the best beach to watch the sunrise. Get up at 6 am and go~ My wife said that my free travel is the same as group travel, and she booked my group. Because of the experience of being fined for not wearing a helmet in Chiang Mai, I learned my lesson~ Google Maps navigation, 20 minutes to Chaweng Beach~ The waves are big~ Lying and waiting for the sunrise~! Bikini on~ Waiting for the sunrise~ Can you tell she drew a peach heart~

The figure is great, very beautiful
