It's the time to relax!! Once a year PMT-staffs
would join for outing trip together and it has been set during 5-7 December last
year.
Start from November to February is the winter season of Thailand. Going to the
northern part of Thailand is very popular amongst the travelers because of the
cold breeze, which come only once a year during this period. PMT-staffs went
to Chiangmai, where the highest mountain point is overthere.
On the first day, we visited 'Phuphing' palace, their Majesties' residence during
winter season. There're many kinds of colorful and beautiful flowers and plants
around the palace. Then, we went on seeing life style of a hill tribe people
called 'Mong or Maew' and severed 'Pra Thad Doi Suthep', the emblem of Chiangmai
province. And after sightseeing all day long, we had a wonderful dinner as northern
style (by using your finger instead of spoon and fork) called 'Khantoke', which
the plates of meal have been prepared as one set on a hamper tray.
On the second day we reached the highest point of Thailand called 'Doi Inthanon',
it was very cold up there at 15 Celsius degree in the early morning. Next visit
was 'Barn Tavai', seeing and shopping some woodworks and handicrafts, then transferred
to 'Krissada Doi' for splendid time of taking some photos with beautiful scenery.
And we had joined camping brightly after barbecue dinner. We were also doing
a northern tradition called 'Loy Khoam' to pay respect and ask for forgiveness
to our Buddha by fire-setting and let the hot air balloon rise into the sky,
that's was my first time doing this.
 There was another of my first experience. It was elephant-riding and enjoyed
watching an amazing show from elephants at 'Pang Mae-Sa'. Then we transferred
to 'San Kam Phaeng Hot Spring', some of us enjoyed boiling and eating eggs while
somebody enjoyed washing body in natural hot water. That was very impressive
outing trip for us all. |
