After months of waiting for my first winter trip to Northern Thailand, I finally made it in January 2014. Our flight from Singapore landed at Chiangmai International airport around 10.45am. After immigration and custom clearance, we proceed to Doi Ang Khang right away. Is about 3 hours journey from Chiangmai. We stop for lunch while on the way to Doi Ang Khang.
Is a simple but nice eating place. Is a fusion of traditional and modern Thai food cafe.
I get myself a cup of iced coffee and a bowl of curry chicken noodle.
My first birding spot was at a private camp site/ resort at Doi Ang Khang. This resort have a nice garden, a small stream flow through at the back of the resort. It was indeed a perfect place for birding. One of the nice corner is this patch of Chinese Cabbage. Chinese Cabbage is a popular vegetable and they are nice flowering plant too.
I'm not sure what berry or what plant is this. However, since Chinese New Year just around the corner, this is a perfect ornamental plants for Chinese New Year!
I like this very unique natural air freshener. Is so 'organic'!
We leave Doi Ang Khang around 6pm and will stay at Fang, a small city north of Chiangmai. I stop by a stall selling all kinds of products made of straw berry.
It looks nice but I didn't get any except the fresh straw berry.
We get a big box of straw berry.
The roof of the stall are made of dry leaves. 100% bio-degradable, 100% organic.... (to be continued)
