Happy Valentine's day!
We wanted to go for the elephants care tour or Thai food class
But because we arrived late the night before
We can't sign up for anything
Husband decided to visit the temple on the mountain
And I read online that you need to be there early like before 8, to avoid the tourists
There was a tour counter at the hotel
And she told us that it will be 1200bahts
For a car to pick us, wait for us 1hr and send us back
Husband was not keen because of the 1hr limit
And I suggested that we wake up early and tried our luck to get a taxi
We didn't managed to wake up at 530am
But did left the hotel by 730am
After a 5min walk we found a shared taxi to bring us up for 200baht each
Halfway he detoured to fetch some girls to the train station in opp direction
But after, it was straight to the temple
The staircase up to temple was really tiring
I ended up with shaky leg literally
My leg wont stop shaking
We arrived at about 830 and it wasn't too crowded
We saw a Caucasian and her daughter getting blessed by a monk
So we also went in for a blessing
We went into another part to visit
And met a very cool monk
Because we got the first blessing
We didn't want to do another
But the moment we entered
The monk asked us to sit down and asked where I'm from
And started blessing us
Since he so cool and authoritative, we can't say no
Husband was upset that the monk only asked where I from and not him haha
We walked a little more and it started to get crowded
We went down for a drink and rest my shaky legs
Since we were already at the mountains
Husband suggested we go up to the palace
We took a shared taxi at 50bahts each
And realized we can only visit the garden of the palace
After walking awhile with tourists and sun
We managed to find a private taxi to bring us back to hotel at 200bahts
Husband found a good Thai restaurant
Voted top 100 on trip advisory
The food was not as good as the one we tried
But much cheaper and 5min walk from hotel
Then we rested in the hotel where husband napped.
I woke husband early to avoid the crowd for the Sunday market
We managed to buy some stuff before it became very crowded
It's similar to most of the markets that we went
Just more food stalls and some independent designer stores
It got really crowded near dinner time
And we bought some street food back for dinner
While watching any shows on tv
Eh I think we forgot it was valentines day haha
Suddenly I realized the water heater was not working
Husband took a cold shower
While I decided to call the lobby
After a stupid attempt to boil water for a bath
Sadly, the staff can't do anything
To our surprise,
The staff gave us the key to another room on the same floor
And told us that we could shower there till we check out
I was worried that they expected us to change room
The new room was smaller and near to a pub
That we could hear dance music while in the room
I'm glad we didn't had to stay here.
