Early this year, I was at Chiangmai, Thailand for 5N/6D trip. I will share summarize itinerary in my later post..maybe next week! After came down from Pai and Mae Hong Son, I spent 3 days exploring Chiangmai City. Since I stayed in Boutique Hotel which smacked in the middle of busy old city...so I just took my time walking and exploring around that area. I even have favourite breakfast place. I found this awesome place while wondering around for breakfast. Yeahhh!!! I don't buy breakfast at hotel this time. I just wanna live like local.  But...while most local eat noodles for breakfast, I end up eat bread and western style breakfast here. I just can't resist the fresh from oven bread smells at this place. When I read this signage...I was like..Whoaaaa!!! Blue Diamond The Breakfast Club. Do I need some sort of membership to dine in here? I was so wanna sit down and dine when I randomly walk in this corner lot terrace house which converted into a cafe.

If you happen to visit Pai or Mae Hong Son while you in Chiangmai, its a good idea to include Tham Lod in your itinerary. Reason being , Tham Lod is located in between of Pai and Mae Hong Son and since you already went through that deadly , sickly curves journey already...why not visit this interesting place. Tham is Thai Language for Cave. Lod Cave or Tham Lod is a huge cave where you can see many interesting fragile ecosystem encased in solid stone. Apart from you be able to meet with big fat carp and bat and its stinky pooh...the most interesting of all is to witness the 500 years old log coffins.  No 'PEE'ing man here! You can see many bats pooh though! yikes! You won't be able to explore the cave without any lantern tour guide and taking the bamboo rafting. There are many of them and most of them will not harass you to choose them. They use numbers and everybody will take their turn.

If you have been reading my blog for quite sometimes , more or less you know that I love to do the nature trail walking tour when I go for travel. I did the same when I was in Chiangmai early this year. A walk through the nature trail on top of the highest mountain in Thailand, Doi Inthanon really something than I will never forget forever. Since this is the highest mountain in Thailand with 2,565m, the coolest during Winter time can drop at 0 Degrees. It was winter and drop at 2 Degrees when I visited this place. Super cold!  Thank God! I remember to pack some shawls with me to cover up my neck and keep me warm through out the nature trail. On top of Doi Inthanon summit there is also Royal Thai Air Force weather radar station and the Thai National Observatory. If you see the bottom left photo where many coins being thrown...it actually a official stamp on the highest peak of Thailand. The name Doi Inthanon was given in honour of the Thai King Inthan
