2005 rainy season larvae, Bangkok and Angkor, Chiang Mai
The beginning of August, I fired off to coercion, husband finally please leave, xiaoliangkou to a Thai-Cambodian Lianyou.
Stunning, fatigue, cozy, tension and lament, all the feelings have, even back in the day have to go once (especially Angkor). Compare prior reference to the comments, we have some new important recognition, special supplement, hope to be useful to newcomers.Stroke: Guangzhou-Bangkok-Siem Reap (Angkor)---Bangkok-Chiang Mai-----Bangkok-Guangzhou
Time: July 31-August 11, 12 days
Cost: RMB 1 million 6 thousand/two people (including all costs e.g. Souvenirs)
The original is available under Asia Xiamen booking agencies (Xiamen China travel: Miss Liu 0592-2049977 special enthusiasm and patience, recommended!) set off ticket of Macau, but because of travel to determine too late to find out the price of tickets to and from 1800 or so per person (not including tax), we had to unfortunately abandoned.
Later, from online to a dedicated reservation Guangzhou to Bangkok air tickets-shoupiaodian (020-61139995), set to Thai Oriental round-trip ticket, as long as 1250/! excitement to the extreme!, but due to his own negligence and booking staff to the effect that the time was wrong, instead of ticket fee of $ 500 to a point person! booking does not want to assume the responsibility that can help me through the computer system without paying for the worst is yet to come, the results came back in Bangkok airport was told to be changed, money or to collect it, wants to return the 5000Bht, destruction of good mood. Summing up, it is not strange booking point, this is definitely the pitfalls of middlemen. Subsequent to his attention, cheap air tickets only shortcoming is again very expensive, so be sure to make travel arrangements, but also repeatedly confirmed with the booking staff.The plane was delayed for two hours, I wonder if it is not for the sake of cheap airline tickets (hehe), but although cheap, but the aircraft to point exactly Europe, B747 double large aircraft, drinks, food, nothing much, I'm afraid they will lose money, or China Aviation too dark.
Arrive at Bangkok airport after the first change of $ baht, but for too many airport only 40 or so of the exchange rate, regardless of the nominal value, not cost. In accordance with the predecessors of the pointing, defying the greeting, walked out the door to find a bus stop at the downhill, 100 baht per person.Here the way hotel.
All of our hotels are booked in advance online, though not a season, but our first overseas tours, not too risky. The hotel is Bangkok Royal Princess (Larn Luang), four stars, a tax increase of $ 44, compared to standard luxury backpackers, but we both think that live in comfort is the most important trip, so the whole process is kept relatively high standards, even so, than the domestic many peer hotel cheap (laughing).To the railway station booking.
Remind everyone must go to the station booking yourself, people rarely, basic, without Queuing. We are a driver to a TAT tickets, the person has, in turn, asked me: who told you there from Bangkok to Cambodia? not only dishonest train also very unfriendly, let us the impression of Thailand. We turned left, another taxi to the railway station, scheduled four days after travel to Chiang Mai ticket, first class 1253 baht, RMB also only 200 pieces that were later proven to be very wise decision. Go to Cambodia's ticket presale, starting on the morning of 5: 30 buy tickets.The next day early morning on the train, we see the last two carriages foreigners more directly on the last section, find here the seats and other compartments, each independent adjustable backrest, comfortable, sleepy, just lie down and sleep, Jello! soon someone will come shortly, are told there is a second class, a person 63 baht (original price 48 baht), but all the same, just curious why the station not to buy a second ticket.
Returned from Cambodia is the same, the station is only a third vote, buy tickets, only the second, "said. The existence of the conductor and earn extra money is unknown. There is also a bus then know that you can sit, 4 hours, more than 200 baht, is a good choice.A sleep to Alain, sat tuktuk to the border, and entry and exit process is lengthy, especially Thailand exit, in the Sun, the people are.
Discover Chinese passport here is very easy to use, very quickly, the foreigner is a different matter, delivery in good half-day out, queue waiting at the side of the infants. Hei Hei, we Chinese people also enjoy preferential treatment.Here to talk about in Siem Reap Taxi to note the package.
Our day is good luck, keep up with the big traffic accidents, traffic jams. Border a Taxi is not found, the bus driver was a big heap, blended with panic. Thought a clearance will have a lot of Taxi waiting there, now, miserable! we ran in to a bigger Hotel find Taxi, the boss said well, and then open to bargaining 50dollars, we are, I do not know where to rushed out an old man, very exciting: We share Taxi?! a listen to the tone you know is a person who, in Japan, be sure to ignore him. Available at that time, we are the world, a reduced number of a person sharing the desperate, so we are very glad of peers. Old English not very ling, good for a while to catch on to 50dollar, jump higher, he said that the old no, and then said that he had visited 3 times, to know where are the taxi stand, we have followed him. This go for two kilometres long, dusty, Ah, from the moment of tattered shops and garbage, if only the two of us, in this life and don't want to find. Old man full of confidence ahead of strode, sometimes stop to ask for directions, it seems that local changes in getting bigger, older horses do not recognize the road, and thenOn the back with a smile sorry, sorry, patted his head, as if he were mumbled a few words, a pair of innocence. At that time I have the feeling that we will make a good companion.Trip after I wonder if some mud Street, and finally to the taxi station, then know that the border is actually a free shuttle bus, is a very long open small bus, a bit like extended edition of tuktuk, you just have to ask him if he is not a taxi station.
Who call us no experience yet.Taxi stand empty, because the road isn't good to go, no driver wants to out.
We also considered good luck, met a to take the goods back to Siem Reap, told us to wait, he'll come back for us. We are anxiously waiting for Kung Fu, have a quick three in the afternoon, when suddenly there came a cart of the foreigner, shining a piece, dark is bad, wait a minute our taxi back, not to bid on the bus? a group of people seem not very popular, very warm for us stations administrator doesn't ignore them. In fact, people are basically abroad or ethnic ties heap, a piece of yellow, white, in a dark area basic not seen. But along the way, the only two black skin, Kenya, Spain, is a dish for good, see we both could go. (Also to topic!)The good news is that this helps foreigners brave crowd on a skin tab of the wing-and put on a raincoat, first us out.
Presently our Toyota Camry also come about if we come back, everything goes well, Viva!, the management of the passionate way don't, we jumped in the car. Cambodia's road is rotten, we almost all the way to leap forward, if not because of the rain, there will be tons of dirt road, definitely have to look at.Open 1/3 of the way, we arrived at the accident site, had to get off at the stops as far as the eye could to the edge of the queues, see human scalp and stiff.
We have also met with the group walks away, they had to abandon the foreigner turning to walk, and bare feet, covered with mud, we felt that revels in Ah, really! it's difficult to follow the full 3 hours, 10 km, by train, constantly jump, at 7 p.m. when the time came to Sisophong, went through half of it. Had a roadside food again, Jolt has is nothing, we have become, and the ass Shrek, go ask the driver: Are we there yet? Although he couldn't understand anything. But Japan man understood it, swears he's small map, here, here, far far, and then put out 2 fingers, a helpless face. Simmer! when worn out to Siem Reap, found in the online booking of hotel, the old man did we live next door, have nothing to say, to sleep!We the Molly Malone ' s Guesthouse is set via E-mail on the Internet, I was initially attracted to online photos, that didn't care about the price, 30USD/night, then think about the really expensive! room really is beautiful, the boss is a good wife, particularly Ireland, in E-Mail, gave me a lot of comments, or would like to thank her.
Because many want to experience a few Hotel I booked two days followed by two days of preparation for moving to the Bopha Angkor, the more expensive, and leave our room was very poor, I see beautiful photos in fact little significance. This is also one of my visit: Hotel the most important lesson is to the room clean and comfortable, the other is of secondary importance, I am somewhat new and original, easy to believe what the photos on the Internet, so it took some of the odds. The Bopha Angkor, 44USD/night, this time even Japan man to we walked, hand-laid, too expensive. We regret to move past found the room very well, had a quarrel is finally back, first find yourself arguing that slipped in English, the small managers say a dumbfounded. And the SunSunkge. The most respected online guesthouse look mediocre, but very clean. Upstairs, open room, great for a window, the Sun is shining, the floor light Windows on the figure, the sheet drying and tidy, and large enough, the bathroom is also very easy to use, very wonderful and most expensive air conditioning and hot water twin room only 15USD/night. We do not want to live. This is our entire lives of the most attractive and most enjoyable place. It is not in your "shop, clean line".We finally know the name of the old Japan, here referred to as Mr. Ku.
Follow his advice we hired a car Toyota Camry, began three days of travel. Most Central Americans are sitting tuktuk, but I think it is not very suitable for our Asian: we usually do not like the Sun and get a loess is very uncomfortable. We laughed that he is a man's Corps, eat not a +. Roadside paddy, cottages we see a lot, it's not rare. Those who came all the way to the white race is a different story, and very excited, or take a tuktuk close to nature.Because just writing guide, visit Angkor's specific circumstances I would not write, they could not finish, just want to say that everyone will have the opportunity to go to a meeting.
We just came back began to miss him, and has planned and so old Ku retired once again mate.This will be an unforgettable experience of your life.
From Angkor to come back after we in Alain-railway station nearby restaurant to eat Chinese food, highly recommended where fried pork with rice (fried pork with rice), have a dip in the oil fried in garlic out of pork, cut very thin, very delicious!
Return by train or car replacement ticket Sat 2nd class compartments, but this time the train turned here, let's become next to the front of a car, very noisy, and ash fall in, get dirty.
Far from to time, old KuThen we take the train must repent dead. Therefore return proposed by bus.Sitting on the bus, another important reason is that you can save time.
Our train is expected to be 19: 05 to Bangkok, but has been delayed until the 19: 38. And we go to Chiang Mai by train but 19: 40 drive! that dozens of minutes we really pretty rapidly. Thailand train connections between some very narrow and there is no door, bold, you can at any time with the same railway car guerrilla groups. But then we just hate cannot jump down to the railway station. The train into the city of Bangkok, constantly encountered a red light, stop for a walk, we're all crazy. After a period of neighbourhoods, jump onto an overweight, lovely is that I could use some English asked him, I didn't think he could answer in English, is a very clever: one two two nine. Or 24 hour clock. Think about it, people, Thailand railway conductor, small restaurant waiter drivers, even with the train's children will be able to say a few words of English education in China is failed.Finally to the station, we quickly and old Ku divisions, darted to the second platform, good in Thailand train station small poor, a total of just 4 platform, and all together, if you changed the Guangzhou Railway station, the Exchange platform footbridge Kung Fu train left.
On the last car, tellers also consoled me: don't worry, we have 45 minutes to drive. Really thoughtful!We just get someone beat Windows, take a look at the old Ku outside, he can find to a force of waved loudly said goodbye in Chinese! at that time my tears are almost flow out.
Chance meeting, and hurried farewell. We and the difference between the 30-year-old Japan great friends of time is not long, but there's not that we ourselves are surprised.Thailand train is worth mentioning that we bought first class ticket, is a two package, ideal for couples and couples, if you have children, you can buy tickets for the two rooms, the trap door open in the middle is a large room, comfortable.
The room is not big, but clean and tidy, and hand-washing. The rest of the time called a conductor, will come to you to make the beds. Bed linen is sealed packaging, very clean. Bed was very spacious, I was in bed and took a picture. We then ran to the second class, there is also good, my seat down is the bed, each bed has a bed curtain, privacy is absolutely guaranteed. That night we slept the incense, the husband was said to be the most comfortable throughout the night! "after all, it only took 200 Yuan only!About Chiang Mai.
We found a home on the Internet known as Thailand's first natural resort hotel, anghilina · Julie to Thailand here lived, the beauty of the pictures on the Internet. And so then our car 40 minutes after the last stop in this hotel when I was a little regret. Location is very far away, the hotel also is not very big, only six small villas. Entering the villa discovered, all kinds of facilities are very nice, especially the bathroom, it is open, you can see the bathroom and the dense tree and the blue sky, the night is a twinkling stars, one morning I wash my face when I saw a bird. Villa, is the dense forest, a very large rivers roaring from front to start over, is not used, was not sleep, but then got used, went down the Hill also feel less point my ear? The entire hotel is a traditional lana style, high roof, wooden houses and furniture, air has a special wood oil smell. The room is very dark, the light during the day but also with the light that shines outside banana leaf green, is your idea of life in Thailand. We at Brook enjoy a candlelight dinner, and the hotel's two dogs, ICE and Panda, became good friends. A door in the morning, a small two-dog cheerful ran over and say hello, we eat when they lie at the feet, we love dogs, this is paradise. There is also a parrot, gave her a cracker will follow me in Chinese said "Hello, you had!" did not eat the die does not open, you can make! now I think about it, although we are for this small hotel to spend on expensive meat pain and regret, but the taste is the real Thai life. This family run hotel, the quiet of the Thailand are all essential to the guests, they are more expensive, too.Chiang Mai's tour is also good, but in addition to riding an elephant, other were very general, Orchid and Butterfly absolute match our Kunming.
But since you have come, or do you want to participate, and a large number of foreigners with a day is quite good. We met a couple of the United States and an Australian man, very kindly ask if we are not from China, also said "dumplings". The great Motherland cuisine is well known, Uitenhage!Chiang Mai's elephant school far from being as good as I thought, maybe we did not go to a good route.
It is a very big mud smashed by 5 elephants with two or three elephants do some simple actions, there is nothing special about, like Guangzhou xiangjiang wild animal park's circus. But small like a very lovely, generous, buy some bananas fed them, will definitely give you a welcome in elephants. A baby elephant, popular, his mouth, and resorted to eat milk Pack quite a bit from the fence of a big gap in the squeeze out and a rushed to me and I haven't responded that he was unceremoniously ate banana stalls of bananas, here is the kind of boss, slowly fed him two root, not angry, just everybody cheering up one after another at high and his photograph, the catch like came, a grabbed his ears, like lessons children kicked like, this little guy had to boss reluctantly and plug it back.Chiang Mai, the famous night market is in fact not anything special, but the scale is large, full-swing a few streets.
We have always regarded as Siem Reap's old market interesting. Maybe play a couple of days have no originality, if our first stop here, will certainly be a different feel. Generally speaking, the scenery of ThailandAnd products and the difference in the South of China is not very big, like the rural scenery, raft rafting or something Chinese people should see more, do not feel special. Was so famous, mostly European and American tourists feel, if they have been to China, must not be a fuss.Living in Chiang Mai Chiang Mai Plaza Hotel is a four-star hotel, quite satisfactory, 300 RMB, clean and comfortable, worthy of recommendation.
Come to Thailand, of course, cannot fail to buy some souvenirs, and done an authentic Thai Spa. We don't have time to go to the largest handicraft village, just go to the sale of upscale boutique famous street. Here the cotton fabrics are indeed pretty, and cheaper than domestic, we breath bought four dolls for friends of the children, also bought a piece of cotton bath robe, absolutely first-rate. Do Spa places in this area, we chose an Oasis Spa, because he's done most beautiful advertising. This way we all feel find pretty local settled, although there have been failures, but the road is so,! better Chiang Mai Spa has a free car pick, this one really is pretty remarkable, massage bed head of vacancies to look there is also a floating red flowers and banana leaf water basin, feast for the eyes. We use two couples room can be carried out, the room is very elegant, of goods outside there is a courtyard full of flowers, a bath-time you can see the success of Lotus, strong Thailand incense wreaths, let people have the pleasure of feeling drowsy. Select the intensity of the massage, Thai massage heard, we have selected a Light. Later discovered that Normal should be the best choice. Light is too soft, very fun. Two hours of immortal time we spent 1400 Yuan, was the most expensive consumer journey. Personal feeling masseuse technology and domestic almost, but not enough domestic enthusiasm (possibly not to tip's sake, we see a local tips you gave 200 baht, but on the other hand, this kind of service on the price of foreigners is certainly much higher), but other people's details do really much better, the service staff will speak English, feeling the whole grade on.Comfortable, Spa Center of the car also put our free delivery to the railway station, the train on the wake up is the congestion of Bangkok.
Wind from the South train station 29 bus directly to the airport, even at the peak, a half hour, also called saw the weekday morning of Bangkok. Office workers and students are wearing very neat to go to, not a dress does not fit, we can see the quality of the people of Bangkok is very good, compared to Guangzhou office workers is uneven, her breasts exposed back, clothes not just one more to go. Here almost all white white collar shirt and dark-coloured skirt, with their beautiful olive skin, there is a special taste. School uniforms are white shirts with black shorts or black pleated skirt, the boys of gentle and beautiful girl's lively decorated in turn. Chinese school uniforms are too failed, men and women, sportswear, seems always to go to the track and field competitions of posture, non-blue-green, explosive ugly! I have always wanted to, a person, especially young people, you put the ugly, its behavior is definitely good. Our community and school is too eager to erase the differences to achieve consistent and fair ", but most people mixed on its aesthetic needs, this is shaping the next generation of good character and qualities of no benefit.It only took 36 baht, we watched all the way, whereafter the airport.
Originally thought that can successfully concluded a pleasant journey, but were told to pay 2500 baht per person instead of tickets costs! crumbles, reluctantly handed money, dragging luggage, hurts most.Bangkok airport duty-free stores, goods, and the price is cheap.
Hard packed Chinese here but only 200 million RMB, a variety of name brand a cosmetics, Thailand snacks are also worth a try. Just feel this morning and flew a million miles away, and eventually went home.To Guangzhou, one out of the airport buildings, heat waves lunged, will adapt.
Who says Thailand, Cambodia heat, what, he certainly didn't come in the summer, more than Guangzhou Guangzhou hot, China still has a lot of this was why, in the summer you can rest assured to Southeast Asia!Tips：
