Delighted that Robin is taking his family for a travelling but not wandering :). It is not easy for the working adults to clear leave with the school holidays.Well, ok, since i promised him for the info, hopefully correct ones.

Well, if there are times, then it is best to consider what to do and see. Basically now there are different package, either self-tailored or work with the travel agency.The packages may come in these:

1.cultural

2.shopping spree

3.hopping and photo session and

4.food buds or gourment

So, now, it is time to consider a traning camp for the youngs ? Ok then let them decide on the agenda and $$ matter, of course with a budget.

I prefer to stay in the guest house or hostel as this would have a better view into the local life. All info exchanged would be great besides the kids can practise the English.The staff of the guest house normally speak English with darjah 4 hehe, it is good to around.get a map and a pair of shoes and walk around the old city of Chiang Mai. Spend another day taking the city bus and go round the city.

If like the hilltribes hadiwork, can get some and lern some thai before going to have the fun of bargaining. But i would like to recommend the Pasar Malam, or Night Bazzar at the AUA area. It is on Saturday or Sunday evening, check it out. You can get the different types of crowd. The Imperial Mae Ping Hotel area night bazzar are crowded with tourists.As you know the locals are out. But the pasar malam near AUA are mostly locals plus the toruists who know it or have the time for it.

For the guesthouse and youth hostel, you ca choose it with your pocket budget. Some can be arranged for airport pick up.

Well, the next thing is the shooting range. It is good to take the children for the shooting. I did not know how much, certainly will be cheaper than Malaysia.

If jungle trekking is your favourite, trek the Malaysian junglles and then come to see the different.

Ok, it is up till here. not too good mood today hehehe

Woke up very early, to me at the plesure of a traveller or wonderer. I fell back to bed and gain my conscious at about half past eight in the morning. Decided to have a stroll of the place and packed a bottle of drinking water and went to the market.

What surprised me was the market has a new design in it. All the meat seller are cornered in a part of the market. All the glass walls with the sound of Thai music floating in and out from time to time.I love this idea. It is good as the old management would see the flies flying and the fans, sort of the ceiling fans tye with a plastic bage circling tiredly on top  but still cannot chase away the smell.

Since the cyber cafe is not yet open, i forgot the time and i made another round and came to this one. Fine, with 10 bahts per hour as it said on the door. i hope the staff would deny it when i log out. Writing blog needs time to think and key in. Hoho, i use only two fingers lah.

Ok, the guest house that i am staying now is ok, clean and you cannot ask for more with 100 bahts a day single room with fan.The dorm, oo, i did not go to see it, is 80 bahts a bed. But i read in the web was 50 bahts a bed, Well, you know that when the world fuel prices shot up caused by the superpower country lead by Bush, most tickets prices are also up. As the air travelling will put a column on fuel surchage.

i was trying hard to put up at the YHA venter piece but when i called, the same problem exsit that the male staff could not speak English. Aha, this time, i had less frustration as my Thai language can get around with the basic info of the room and facilities. I heard that Centerpiece has changed management and upgraded and the dorm is no longer and the website still said it has.

In fact near the Arcade or Long distance bus station has a few hong chow, which meants you can rent for days, week, or month. I did not understand the info from the lady in the bus staion information counter, i carried a bag with 13 kgs on my back and walked to the Carefour area and discovered some hong chow too. What the info counter was near the wat, temple. You can read signs in English with xxxxxxx house or room for rent. After negotioation and the lowest that i could get was 200 bahts. Well, five days stay will mean 1000 bahts and went to the cc again and search for guest house instaed of hostel and found the Banana Guest house is the cheapest so far that i know of. Then the next thing is waiting for Noy to pick me and send me there. Of course, i can get a song tiao and be early to take a rest but the whole thought was just like to meet this new acquintance.

Ok, a little tired now and will log in again tonight at the other cc, 15 bahts with webcam.

As schdule, even earlier of 20 minutes the plan arrived in airport of Chiang Mai but i failed to get a friend for accommodation and have to look for one at YHA.

take care

thinking to write when i login but failed as i am more eager to check the mails and see what had happened to my application of job.

nothing much. will fly to Chiang Mai tomorrow early morning.

So, time flies and that is it. Again will be back to the sawadee land to try the luck. Aha, luck i stab my own luck and i now ask for luck.

Tomorrow may be in KL or on Monday as still feeling very lazy to move.

See ya

Aha, came out to plan the money matter with the bank. Thus, need to plan for the old age lor. At the same time to check the mail of the job apply yesterday. When time passed, which meant that thinking and also views changed. Though i worked with the Prinicpal before, what in the past may not be the same as he is going to 70 years old. I could feel it becuase what i felt when i was 40 and 50 was not the same.

But disappointed that i did not get a reply yet.

By the end of the month will be back to Thailand again to facilitate the a project and hope could be success. I could not say how it will go but quite contradict with it also.

Last night, thought it over and feel that i need to stay home so that i could something that i like to do for a long time, that is to write a book. It may not be a best seller, but a time record of history.

Aiya, have to consider further, if i can get a sponsor for to sit down and write without worries, that is very good. Of course, i could not do like the JK of Harry porter author, she could sat and write even she was in the state of finanical difficuties. But look at her background, a graudate of English from University of Exeterhttp://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/biography.cfm.

So, came in the morning to beat the q to get a good pc but it is the same. When all pc are on, the games are on, the speed all slowed down even keying this massage too.

However have paid for 3 hours and RM6 have gone would have to endure the ah mah speed lor.

Last night, SM told me about the school in Sitiawan, so excited or because of the coffee, those packages i bought 4 months ago before i left for sawadee land, still so strong meh.

This morning came in to log at the website of the school and sent the principle a mail. testing and see, he was my boss before, like his style of management so willing o work with him again. But he is going 70 years old soon and i don't know how his vision.

In fact today, plan to go to KL to renew my YHA membership card and now do not like to go liao http://www.myha.org.my

Get frustrated and cannot write with beautiful language. After logout will go to Bank to deposit the cheque from DIGI and check the saving account.

So, this is a new beginning and feeling better than when i returned home.

Well, again the same problem i face, the login of the net at the cyber cafe hotnet. This is a game center and of course, i can go the accounting firm and login at 3 ringgit  per hour, i still like to be in hotnet as it sometimes gila and can go very fast.

The reason is also it is cheaper by one ringgit, oh, one ringgit which means a cup of coffee and in Siam , especially in my former school, add 50 sen  can have a lunch liao.

Rain never stops and my house leaking all the time and if it rains like last night, then the master bedroom in the up-stairs can be a swimming pool liao.

Still not too good, so, have to perfect it later, i mean this page as the download is not good and many parts cannot see lor.

Maybe will be in KL in a day or two because my another luagguage bag is in the Guest House of A Andrew.

p/s: log in and out, finally, u can see it if u login tonight or even now, hehe

The plane arrived on time but the luggage has some problems because it mixed with the Siam Reap line and the Chiang Mai line.

Every time passed through the ayto gate, i am hair standing and today all the problem showed.It could not scan the data and in and out the scanner. S**t, there came a young man and a lady to tell me take the plastic cover off, leaving the passport without shirt. I did it last time with the plastic cover when i was leaving the country only 4 months ago.

Well, forget it, anyway, home is the sweetest thing.

see ya, in KL now.

Should i ask you to read the part one? Well, i think i write it as if another story, so it would not bored you. hehehe

After the Big C trip, went home for a while and came out for the dinner, lie Patrick teoh's blog said, niamah, so expensive 50 bahts with a bottom of drinking water. Most of the stalls near the Chiang Mai bus station do not provide free water. You either take it or leave it. I had the shao chu rou fan and an egg, that cost 50 bahts.

The afternoon lunch was only 30 bahts with the Sylvia Chang's Singapore film Rapsody Rice , hai nan ji fan. Oh, i was delighted that i got the cheap derinking water from the Big c, the 7_11 sells 5 or 6 bahts depends on the location, most places 5 bahts ut Bangkok 6 bahts. Just huess how much i got ? Answer at the end of the article.

The groudnuts are also cheaper than TESCO-Lotus.

Thinking it would be a hard night for me to pass, but i am feeling tired now because this morning i got up at 5 am and my 490 bahts room has aircon lah.

Oh ya, Chinag Mai today is hot. but Chiang Rai is raining all the time and it is cold. 20 at night. so nice

Well, the keyboard is so hard to type and shall end here. There may be no entries after i arrive home. Will stay a night in KL, i don't like to get home at dark, my Malay neighbour takes what i have as her own. They park the car near to my main door to avoid rain water, siao de.

I have to clean the house and day bright is better lor. At least when night fall, can feel happy with the clean bed.

Ok, the answer ;tiga bahts only per bottle
