When the cold wind blows again

It makes me think of you... #Doi Mon Jong

The mountain that made us fall in love at first sight.
The mountain of golden meadows.
The mountain that many people say is like a backyard garden.
The mountain with a viewpoint as beautiful as any other in Chiang Mai.
The mountain where we met strangers and strange faces. 555
The mountain of friendship and mutual care.

Everything I've said so far... I'm not exaggerating.
We ourselves were captivated by the charm of Doi Mon Jong,
which is why we had to come here twice in a row.
