Readme before you journey
Hello everyone!
____________________________________________________________________________________________
As a newcomer to this platform, I apologize if my writing lacks coherence or entertainment value. I am still learning the ropes and appreciate your understanding.
I am from Ratchaburi and had the opportunity to study agriculture at a university in the south. I am currently in my fourth year and have come to Chiang Mai for an internship. Luckily, I enjoy traveling, so this is a perfect fit for me.
Just launched 55
The internship atmosphere was excellent.
I spend most of my time after work and one day off on vacation. I won't talk about my internship at all, just about my travels. Let's go!

Tourist Photography with a Sony Cybershot
While traveling, capturing memories through photographs is essential. For this purpose, I rely on my trusty Sony Cybershot. It may be an older model, but it serves me well, as I haven't had the budget to upgrade.

Station 1: Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden (Chiang Mai), located near the internship site.
Station 2: Wat Phra That Doi Kham
I went there at night, so I didn't get many pictures. But it was fun, it's a tradition to carry a tiew up Doi Kham.
During my internship, I took some photos of my workplace, using both my phone and a camera.

Station 3 : Next stop, Chiang Mai Night Safari
I rode my bike here to enjoy the cool atmosphere.
Still traveling non-stop! 555+ My friends asked me if I'm here for an internship or a vacation.
Station 4 : Wat Umong Suan Phutthadham
The temple is gradually getting farther away from my workplace, moving a little bit at a time. This place is truly beautiful, shady, and very suitable for ordination and study.
I can't take it anymore. I need to take a break from work. But there are also some beautiful girls in the office that I can take pictures of. ^^
Today is a holiday, so it's time to continue traveling. But this time, the interns took me out, so I was able to go a little further.

Station 5: Wat Ban Den Sa Ri Si Mueang Kan - Exquisitely beautiful.
Next stop: Station 6: Mae Sa Waterfall
Station 7: Pha Chor, Doi Lo District - truly breathtaking.
The internship and travel period has come to an end after half a month. There is still a month and a half left, and there are still many places to visit. I will post more pictures later. I apologize for any mistakes. Let's continue at Station 8: Worshiping the Phra That Hariphunchai.
__________________________________________
This was an extraordinary journey for an out-of-town kid like me. The destination was Lamphun Province, to pay homage to the Phra That Hariphunchai, the sacred pagoda for the year of the Rooster, my birth year. However, I decided to cycle there, covering a round trip distance of almost 70 kilometers (including a 5-kilometer detour due to getting lost).
Equipment
- 1 bicycle
- Smartphone with power bank for using Google Maps (exploring the way).
- No drinking water was prepared, so we had to buy some along the way. 555
The journey begins at 5:30 AM from Hang Dong District, Chiang Mai Province, and arrives in Mueang District, Lamphun Province, around 8:30 AM.
We stopped for lunch and finally arrived at the Phra That Hariphunchai temple around 9 am.
Why, Leela! After paying respects at the temple, let's capture some photos. Come and see the pictures!
Exquisitely beautiful.
Inside the ordination hall.
In front of the ordination hall.
These are the 4 footprints of the Buddha. Amen.
I can't recall the name of the queen.
The structures surrounding the stupa are beautiful.

This location is no longer available.
The next station is still in Lamphun Province. We will continue to update you. We are still in Lamphun Province. >>> Station 9: Wat Chamthewi, Queen Chama Thewi Monument
_______________________________________________________________
After paying respects at the Phra That Hariphunchai, we had to leave quickly because the King's entourage was arriving.
I then cycled to Wat Chamadevi. There wasn't much to see at the temple itself, just the main shrine and the Ku Kut Chedi.
Continue cycling to the Queen Chamadevi Monument, which is nearby. However, I felt it was far because I was riding a bicycle.

Queen Chama Thewi was the first monarch of the Hariphunchai Kingdom, an ancient kingdom in what is now northern Thailand.
It is widely believed that those who pray to the King and Queen will have their wishes granted. (Personal belief, please use your own judgment.)

Cycling is tiring, let me pose for a photo (set up the camera myself, no tripod, the flower seller looked at me suspiciously).

The police officer also recommended a tourist spot, which is...

Station 10: Ku Chang and Ku Ma, Lamphun Province
Note: The original text contains an excessive number of "n"s at the end of the province name. This has been corrected in the translation.
I was completely lost and asked countless locals for directions. Finally, I found the temple and immediately made a wish.
Crawl under the elephant's belly 3 times.
Translation:
I'm about to head back. I came across a beautiful temple on the way. I couldn't resist shaking the fortune sticks and making a wish! ^^
That is "Wat San Pa Yang Luang". It's beautiful.
Translation:
My one-day cycling trip around Lamphun province has come to an end. The ride back was exhilarating, although the initial ride was quite enjoyable and exciting.
On the way back, there was only one thought in my mind: when will I arrive? I even got lost. -_-
One last photo to end it all.
I'm going to work on a report for my professor. I'll be back soon...........................Okay, let's continue where we left off.........
Station 11: Grand Canyon Chiang Mai

This is a clay pit where the owner has excavated and sold almost all of the topsoil, leaving a vast and desolate pit. However, it is undeniably beautiful.
Translation:
Previously, there were many deaths here. People who enjoyed challenges would jump into the water without any safety measures, resulting in fatalities. However, it is said that...
Translation:
Most people die on holy days. Oh my god!!!!
Okay, let's get back on topic. Admission to this place costs 50 baht per person. The ticket can be used as a discount to purchase coffee for 25 baht.
Let's take a look at the images without further delay.
Add continuously.
The last picture.
Overall, the view is beautiful, but I recommend going in the evening for a better atmosphere.
Station 12: Doi Suthep

The Long and Winding Road to Doi Suthep
My recent trip to Doi Suthep was an adventure, to say the least. I set off from my accommodation at around 5:30 am, determined to reach the temple on foot. The climb was reminiscent of the infamous "มอญ" initiation ritual for new students at Chiang Mai University. After about two hours of trekking, I finally reached the base of the mountain around 7:00 am.
Feeling the effects of my strenuous climb, I decided to take a short motorcycle ride to the forest fire control station. There, I found a charming little cafe where I could rest and enjoy a refreshing drink.
After a brief respite, I continued my journey on foot. The remaining two hours of the hike were a test of my endurance, but the stunning views of the surrounding landscape made it all worthwhile.
As I made my way back down the mountain, I attempted to hitch a ride. However, my efforts were unsuccessful, perhaps due to my "intimidating" appearance.
Here are some photos from my adventure:

After descending from the mountain, we arrived at >>>> Station 13: Chiang Mai Zoo.
Only a few pictures were taken.
That's all for today's trip. But there's more to come on the next trip, so stay tuned.
