Travel Notes｜Those market days in Chiang Mai, there are surprises you haven’t discovered yet

If the journey in Bangkok is about discovering its modern fashion and various new forms of commercial real estate, then the days in Chiang Mai are about going to market and market. Whether it’s a working day or a weekend, it can always find ways to let you go to a market with different themes, a small and lucky gathering full of life.

DAY 1

A few weeks ago, I temporarily bought a special discount air ticket from Shenzhen to Chiang Mai for more than 700 yuan including tax, so three people set off from Shenzhen and the other five from Dali, and started an eight-day tour of Chiang Mai for eight people.

There is definitely no good time for a special flight. I took off at 4 a.m. and arrived in Chiang Mai at 7 a.m. It was actually colder than I expected. I was so cold that I put on a woolen hat.

Although Thailand is exempt from visa fees during this period, you can also choose to pay a small amount of money to fast track or queue normally in Bangkok. Since there are so few people in Chiang Mai, there is no need to wait in line for too long, but they forcefully charge 200 baht for an unknown fee. Otherwise, they will give you an extra form to fill out, saying that they are not sure about the waiting time. It is really a bit unpleasant. Overlord Clause.

Grab in Chiang Mai seems not as popular as in Bangkok. I tried for a long time without success. Finally, I took a black car to Ono's residence for 250 baht.

Waiting for the other group members to get up, they wandered around the unknown suburban villa they had booked, looking for a warm corner where they could bask in the sun.

A new emoticon package for Sister-in-law was born, which looks like a cartoon character.

The eyeshadow palette of my little fairy was as dreamy as her hair color, so I named her - Alice.

At noon, a group of people went to the B&B on Nimman Road. The location was relatively convenient, and the price per person was more than 100 yuan. After lunch, they had a massage. When the sun was not so hot, they could go to Chiang Mai Design Week for a runaway.

There are also all kinds of delicious food in the small alleys of Ningman Road. You can find food at will without stepping on any mistakes.

The GRAPH CAFE hiding in one nimman, according to Ono, who loves coffee, looks very good, but I was just attracted by its dark black design.

The annual Chiang Mai Design Week will have many branch venues. Let’s finish nap shopping in the afternoon. In the area of Ningman No. 1, the slender circulation is easy to walk around, and the simple trusses and curtains can also be full of beauty.

You don’t have to go to Harry Potter Universal Studios to drink Butterbeer here.

When the girls were shopping in front and said, "Wow, this is so beautiful, I want to buy it." I followed behind like a straight man and said to the third sister-in-law, "This is very economical to build, this interaction is good, this curtain can block the sun and can circulate. This The copywriter likes this structure and helps me capture the details..."

Going from one market to another, the first day in Chiang Mai was stretched out. In the afternoon, I took a songthaew and rushed to another branch venue in the ancient city, but the scale was not large and the content was not particularly attractive. I left after a quick look. But against the backdrop of blue sky and green grass, the atmosphere is still very pleasant.

Various surprises while walking in the ancient city.

For dinner, we went to the Japanese restaurant - Matsu recommended by Xiaobai. Eight people ate all they could eat, and the price per person was only 70 yuan.

Ningman Road at night, materials are arranged according to local conditions, nature is a background wall, and light is a gathering of warmth.

Return to the B&B in the evening and appreciate it again. It has three bedrooms, four bathrooms and two living rooms. The colors are very high-end, and it feels like living in a garden. The location is right next to the Subway on Ningman Road. You can book it on Airbnb. The price for a building is about 1,000 yuan per day.

For me, the best travel is to accumulate my own life experiences through the process and thinking. The best records are also like accelerants, they can be shared, transmitted and influenced, transforming an individual's content into nutrition for more people. Some people like to travel as a way to relax and stop. And I have always seemed to be in another learning and busy process. Tossing may really be a talent inherent in a person.

I read an article before going to bed and wrote down my thoughts at that time:

Adult anxiety and collapse happen overnight, and some expectations can make you fall into a black hole. I seem to have experienced a period of time when I was alone in Shenzhen. Every day I was in the office and in the rental house. I didn’t want to go out or see people at other times. I couldn’t sleep at night and couldn’t get up during the day. Lying down and looking at the ceiling, feeling your heartbeat, I realize that this is life.

That feeling is really uncomfortable. Without your hobbies and basic joy, you will not be able to escape unless you succeed in a certain work. I also fantasize that if I die, I won’t have to explain so much. Tears fell down my face as I thought about it, and I fell into another kind of sadness.

Sometimes self-help is our only recourse, and empathy doesn’t apply to everything. I threw away those things that weighed me down, and then went to the market to cook and feel the simplest smoke of fireworks.

Write down what you want to do one by one, and start with the common ones. Make peace with yourself and figure out how short and unexpected life is.

When we no longer expect results, we won’t be anxious about tomorrow and can live well today.

DAY 2

When you wake up naturally, those with long hair are putting on makeup and those with short hair are ready to go.

Su Nan has turned the desk on the first floor into her office area, and gets calls from various construction teams every day urging her to work.

After breakfast, we started from the B&B and followed the navigation to the Four Color Toast ShopGo puek Go dum, but everyone’s mouths were not idle along the way.

Among the eight people, the third sister-in-law was the only male in this trip. According to the length of her hair, they were naturally divided into a beautiful photo group + a diaosi photo group. While the beautiful girls were taking beautiful photos in the sun, the four of us sat silently on the ground and watched from a distance. But the sand sculpture photo style suits all of us.

During the long wait in line, we completed a series of photos of the sand sculptures. Thanks to the beautiful girl in the group for her careful guidance, I named her Mixed.

The original breakfast plan turned into lunch due to the collective grinding. The legendary Internet celebrity breakfast shop Go puek Go dum has no picture of the menu. The ordering follows the principle that things are easier to do when there are more people, and everyone orders one to try. On the contrary, I am not interested in the main toast, but I really like the porridge and noodle soup with various spices. I recommend going there.

It's not far from Ningman Road and can be reached on foot. Su Nan, who has cheap hands, even applied various lipsticks from beautiful girls, and ended up looking like a forced kisser. And at this meal, I learned something. The girls started to put on lipstick, which means they have really finished eating.

Then I called a Grab to go to baan kang wat Artist Village, which is 4 kilometers away from Nimman Road and costs 140 baht. Once again, I felt that there were more people and more cars, and it was cheaper per person.

Although this art village is not large in area, each store and the entire circulation are complete. It is a stop that I will visit twice during the entire trip. It has a sense of elegance that even though it is small, it has all the internal organs. Each small room is like a small shop. From the decoration to the display, it is peaceful and beautiful.

Among them is a watercolor shop that I like very much, surrounded by green. The third sister-in-law said that when I get old, I can be responsible for painting, and he will be responsible for carpentry and building a small wooden house.

There is also a jewelry store with a full sense of design, full of movement and vitality, as if these jewelry can dance.

I use my feet to discover the unknown things I pass by along the way. I should be quite suitable to be a tour guide or provide consulting services for customized itineraries based on personal preferences. Babies in need are welcome to chat via private message, exchange a red envelope and plan a route for eating, drinking and having fun along the way. It is both cost-effective and interesting, saving you money and time.

Someone who is looking for a Coke every day.

There are really a lot of friends in Chiang Mai these days, so friends of friends are also joining us halfway to make new friends. We rested for a long time at No.39 Cafe in the afternoon. Many people went to check in to the slide cabin, but we sat quietly, watching the light and shadow changing on the water, chatting about the people and things we met and our own perceptions. Although the drinks are not great, you can still go there for the environment.

When the sun was about to go down, a group of people went straight to Woo Cafe & Art Gallery, on the other side of the ancient city river. The price is close to domestic consumption, and there is also the factor of paying for the environment, but the products are pretty good, and they are better than those that are more grounded. Amazing food stall food.

The second floor is a gallery, and there is a space for home furnishings at the entrance. When there are many people dining, they especially want a large round table. After all, it is convenient for picking up food. Fortunately, our group members are all warm babies and will serve teammates who cannot pick up food around them, which solves the inconvenience of a long table.

After the meal, a group of people walked aimlessly, laughing and playing.

No matter what style the sister-in-law wears when she goes out during the day, the beautiful girls will leave their bags and hats to the sister-in-law for safekeeping at night.

I passed by a newly opened coffee shop W8 Doub-lu Eight. All the tables and chairs were made of clear cement. I really wanted to have a balcony area like this at home.

There is also an unknown small shop. As soon as you enter, you will think of the Singularity Project, which is so unconventional and weird. You don’t need navigation on the small roads in the ancient city of Chiang Mai, you just have to walk randomly. Anyway, the unknown you discover is a gain.

When I went to Lila for a massage in the evening, I met Echo, a Shenzhen netizen. I was a little touched when I heard her say that she would carefully read the contents of every friend circle I posted. It turns out that some of my own values can have a subtle influence. other people. Finally, I found out that I was a big fan of my third sister-in-law. When we took a group photo, someone immediately got on top and hugged her thighs...

The Beimen Jazz Bar was very crowded. It is said that some Korean singers came because of the design week. I hope to get a seat when I go there tomorrow.

It is not recommended to go to the Haystack Night Market . It turns out that there are only a few haystacks in the stage area and nothing else. The area is small and the content is relatively simple. Finally, I bought a pair of specially tailored trousers from a small shop along the street, and it was another wonderful night.

I took a songthaew home in the evening. The price has increased from 20 baht per person to 30 baht now. When there are many people, it is cheaper to take Grab.
