We reached Chiang Mai around 7 o'clock in the morning, after having our breakfast and settling down in our guest house, we went for a half day tour at Doi Suthep and handcraft industry. Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep is one famous temple in this area, according to our tour guide, the monks allegedly chose its site by placing a relic of the Lord Buddha on an elephant's back and letting the elephant wander around until it came to a place where it trumpeted and circled, eventually lying down and died.

Handcraft Industry : Silk, Wood-craft, Umbrella, Silver

Later that evening, we went to the famous Sunday Market

Then we go around the old city the next day...(temple, temple and temple...over 300 temples in Chiang Mai)

On the following day, we wake up early in the morning and traveled to south of Chiang Mai for a day tour of jungle trekking, which include elephant riding, waterfall bathing and bamboo rafting. (Sorry because there was no photo for bamboo rafting as camera was not allowed to bring along in which it might fall into water, or your camera is water-resistant)

And finally, the Chiang Rai tour. It takes around 3-4 hours to travel to Chiang Rai. Along the road trip, we stop by at a hot spring half way. Then we headed to Wat Chedi Luang, one of the oldest temple in Chiang Rai. Soon after that, we departed to the Golden Triangle, which is a triangle border form by three countries: Myanmar, Thailand and Laos, a main opium-producing area in the old days. We then had a boat trip along the Mae Kok river and cruised to the land of Laos. We just stay there for around 1 hour, then we traveled to Myanmar-Thailand border, however, we were not able to cross the border due to strict control by the Burmese government. We later traveled for about 1 hour to Akha and Karen tribe village, or better known as long neck village. Then it marks the end of our trip.
