We woke up very late and rushed to eat breakfast. The tour guide waited for us at the lobby and bring us to a van and ahead to Doi Inthanon with the rest of the tour mates (2 from Malaysian, 2 from Singapore {us} and 1 from Dubai).
Along the way, the Dubai guy was sleeping comfortable at the last row of the van. And the 2 Malaysian guys were chatting with the tour guide name Nome. (Btw he seems super ‘C’.) They were chatting about those ‘guys’ pubs like Circle Pubs as they going there after the trip.
It was so cold up on the mountain {around 8 to 15 Degree Celsius. Different parts different temperature}. No one inform us need to bring jacket or sweater along and we all freezing thru out the journey. The Dubai guy lighted up a cigaretter once we reached. We were so tempted to get one cigarette from him to warm ourselves too. Lucky, up there got some shops selling hot drinks and we managed to warm ourselves after 10mins of walking and shivering.
Thereafter, we went to drop by at the Meo Hill Tribe Village and the very interesting 550 years old of Prathat Chom Thong Temple. We didn’t manage to see the twins’ paragon as too many fog. {Such a Disappointment!} Our last stop was on the way out of the 2 waterfalls: Wachira Tarn and Mea-Klang waterfalls. As the step is quite tough to walk, my slipper spoilt when I walked down from the mountain. And what i did was to bare foot for some distance. Lucky I managed to ‘repair’ the slippers before getting another pair of sandals at the night market which near my PornPing hotel which i was staying when I backed from the trip.
Doi Inthanon (
Thai: ดอยอินทนนท์) is the highest
mountain in
Thailand.

Reached Changi Airport bus terminal at 09:30 and checked-in immediately as our air flight is at 10:50. Not sure that all budget airplane is located at the far end of the airport (Terminal 1) and so as Air Asia plane. As we are waiting at the waiting area, realize there was a lot of ‘Ah Tiong’ also taking the same flight as us. At that moment, we were quite disappointment and disgust especially when you see them how they rush in to airplane and all sat beside the window. Lucky, we managed to get window seat too. We also ate hand make bread on plane {lucky never get fine by the air stewardess}.
After 2hrs of traveling we reached Bangkok new airport - Suwonnapoom Airport. We faster looked for baggage services and put our luggage there (which cost 100 baht each) while we went out to shop (nearby Big C and one shopping mall next to it) a while before we catch our next flight at 20:40 to Chiang Mai.
At 21:40, we reached Chiang Mai Airport. I went to the nearby toilet while Wanyi waiting for our check-in luggage. When I was washing my hand, I saw a guy walking out from the toilet. I was SHOCKED!!! I thought I went to the wrong toilet! Lucky, there was a Canadian lady standing at the corner washing hand. {Relief!} After getting our luggage at the airport belt, we hop into a cab and ahead to PornPing Tower Hotel.
After check-in our room (17th floor, Room No: 1702), we went to nearby shop (just beside our hotel) to buy our basic necessities. Then back to our hotel room to rest as next day morning we have 1 day trip to Doi Inthanon at 8am.
