Tekemistä paikassa Mae Ping River

Tänään pääohjelmassa oli Anantaran spa-hoito. Varattu oli Himalayan Therapy Massage (90 minuuttia), joka on kuumakivihierontaa muistuttava eteerinen öljyhieronta Himalajan vuorisuolalla. Klookissa oli tuolloin 50 % alennus, muuten se olisi maksanut yli viisituhatta per henkilö. Täällä spa-hierojien tekniikka on todella hyvä, hieronta oli erittäin miellyttävä, ja olen halunnut tulla takaisin jo kahden vuoden takaisen vierailun jälkeen. Lämmitetyllä vuorisuolalla hierominen, lämpö (ammattitermillä kauko-infrapuna) rentouttaa lihaksia entisestään. Hieronnan voimakkuus oli luultavasti hieman kevyempi kuin tavallisessa eteerisessä öljyhieronnassa. Lopuksi oli vielä kasvohoito jääkylmillä ruusukvartsi-gua sha -kivillä (äitini sanoi, että ammattitermi on ”kasvojenkohotus”). Hoidon jälkeen emme pyytäneet heitä kuljettamaan meitä takaisin hotelliin, koska asumme Malatissa vain viiden minuutin kävelymatkan päässä.

The cruise was very slow (about 8km/hr) but gave nice time to see the sights. The Khao Soi at the rest stop was fantastic. We ended up taking the shuttle back because of a big rain storm that wouldn’t quit. nice that they offered that.

If you're visiting Chiang Mai, you should definitely try a Muay Thai class! It's a truly unique and exhilarating experience! I booked a group class on Klook a day in advance, thinking it would be less awkward with more people, but I still ended up making a fool of myself. The class started at 9 AM and finished at 10:30 AM, lasting a total of one and a half hours. For the first ten minutes or so, the head coach, Mark, led us through stretching, warm-ups, and jogging around the ring. The Thai coach spoke English, and everyone understood him. Since I was the only Chinese person there, my reactions were a bit slower than others, but I managed to get through the class despite some fumbling. After the warm-up, the head coach started wrapping our hands. After he wrapped one hand, he asked me how it felt. I said it was too tight, so he loosened it for me. But after he wrapped the other hand, I still felt it was too tight. He smiled helplessly and had to loosen that one too. I thought maybe the hand wraps for Muay Thai needed to be tight to protect the hands! But after the class, my hands were covered in marks, haha. Luckily, I didn't get injured. After wrapping our hands, the head coach had us put on gloves and started teaching us basic moves. After each move, he'd have us practice in pairs, repeating until we mastered the basics. My training partner was the assistant coach, "Ice." I often made mistakes because I was too nervous, like punching with my left hand and forgetting to guard with my right. He would tell me that if I didn't guard, someone would "bang" and hit me. Although the assistant coach also told me not to be nervous and just enjoy it, I always had that "good student" mindset, wanting to do my best, which just made me more flustered. In the end, I made the assistant coach laugh. He even started guarding when he should have been punching and punching when he should have been guarding. Seeing how nervous I was, he even jokingly threatened to hit me hard. I quickly waved my hands, "Nonono! You will hurt me! No!" He saw me frowning in fear and burst out laughing. Then we couldn't continue training; we were both bent over laughing. I guess that's my secret weapon in a fight! Making my opponent laugh until they're exhausted, and then winning without a fight. After a 90-minute trial class, I was completely exhausted. My hands hurt from the wraps, and my feet hurt from kicking. Even though I was hitting people, punching sandbags, and kicking tires, I was sore as if I had been beaten up. But it was so much fun and exhilarating! Life experience +1

Vaimoni varasi valokuvaajalla ja tuktukilla varustetun kierroksen, joten minä varasin tämän. Baan Orjao ylitti odotukseni ja nautimme ajastamme siellä. Kuvat ovat kauniita. Saimme valita vaatteet itse. He auttoivat meitä, ja valokuvaaja ehdotti meille monia eri poseerauksia.

Kokonaiskokemus oli hyvä ja hauska. Opettaja MAI oli hyvä ja iloinen ja auttoi ottamaan hienoja valokuvia. Kaikki ruoat olivat herkullisia. Se tarjoaa vastinetta rahalle, ja voit kokeilla monia thaimaalaisia ruokia kerralla.

Se oli uskomattoman hauskaa. Huomasi, että matkaoppaat tunsivat eläimet hyvin ja turvallisuus oli myös ensisijaisen tärkeää. Ryhmä ei ollut liian suuri ja juuri sopiva. Kaikki selitettiin meille erittäin hyvin ja kysymyksiin vastattiin. Myös hinta-laatusuhde oli erinomainen. Todella ainutlaatuinen kokemus, jonka jokaisen pitäisi kokea.

The portion size was too large; one person definitely couldn't finish it, it was enough for two! The curry and pad kra pao were delicious, and the fried pork skin was also good, with a nostalgic flavor. The performance was very unique, and at the end, they even set off fireworks outside! P.S. The dancers were so beautiful~~~

🐘 "Everything moves slowly, but my heart feels warm." The most healing elephant accompaniment experience! I never thought I would have the opportunity to walk through the forest with elephants at such close range. This experience was truly magical and unforgettable! ✨ Elephant Dream Project is a park that is not overly commercialized and even retains a somewhat raw, natural atmosphere. Here, you can deeply feel the staff's careful and attentive care for the elephant herd. The elephants look immensely relaxed and leisurely. Watching them eat slowly and walk slowly... everything is so unhurried. "No disturbing, no bathing, no hugging." We simply quietly accompany, feed, and observe these gentle giants. This is truly the best and most respectful way to interact with them. I sincerely and highly recommend this to anyone looking to experience a different side of Chiang Mai! ❤️

The guide was wonderful, kind, and truly excellent. I wanted to go to RAMBAR, and the picture showed RAMBAR, so I joined, but it wasn't the same place. That was disappointing. The show was also wonderful and good.
