Finally ! We got holliday and we both had time to get away from the smoke and noice in the city of Chiang Mai. The city is wonderfull in the winter time, but now we are in the warm season, and the nice cool city transform itself into an unplesant mixed of smoke and exstremely hot weather.

We called our driver and took off around one hour to Hang Dong area, and we checked us self in to the wonderfull place “Bella Villa”. So lucky we where, the weather turned cooler, and we got rain – a lot of wonderful fresh rain.

We used the days to completly relax, and special after we had upgrad us self to deluxe room, ( cost around 300 THB ekstra!) then we just got the most wonderful view.

We can truly recomend Bella Ville to anybody that want to relaxe, to listent to wonderful birds singing in the morning..:)

One of the best thing we did in this holliday was to join Elephant trekking! They have no basket for the tourist to sit in, so the only way is the Mahut way It was absolutly the best elephant experience ever…! See the video from Elefant trekking here

A new year is getting near, and even it not really means anything for the bigger picture, the universe don’t care, then it means something for us humans.

It is the time for us to stop up, look back and think about if we are happy about what we did last year – and use that result to try to make life even better in the new year…:)

And what ever happens – always remember to fight for the ones we love and for the life we love…!

Give and share happiness, experience good and bad – it is a part of us

Chiang Mai, Lanna, Thailand, TRAVEL

Lanna winter

In chiang mai, Lanna, thailand, travel, traveling on December 15, 2012 at 4:25 am

After a wonderful Loy Krathong in end of november, we where ready for the good and long month of december, where we really had time to enjoy life and each other.

We where so lucky to start december with visit from Odense, Denmark, a good chance for us to go trekking to Chiang Dao, 80 km north of Chiang Mai. Before we did so, we join many Thai people in the celebration of HM King of Thailand 85th Birthday on 5th December. It was truly a proud day for Thailand…:) To stand with the candlelight and you know that milions ( beside the 100s of people next to you ) of people in the country is doing the same thing….is just a fantastic feeling…..:)

On one of the most beautiful mornings on 7th December we set out to the starting point, Chiang Dao Nest, a wonderful lay back resort surrounded by mountains. after a very warm welcomes af the host, we drive around 30 minutes to the starting point. The weather was absolutely perfect! completely blue sky and not to hot. That clear sky gave one of the very fantastic experience, when we, in the evening, sit and look at the stars – and we saw the satellites running full speed over the sky – but I was the only one that saw a shooting star..:) It was a great moment..! It almost got beat by having breakfast in the shade of the most wonderful mountains and enjoying the morning fog come up from the downhill fields…:) It just make the local grown coffee taste even better….:)

we did trekking for 2 days, and visit Lasu and Hmong hilltribe people, and add the fantastic nature, good company, then this was just a fantastic combination.

The next big thing for us in December is today,, the 15th December…:) Patarathorn and I have been together for 8 years, and that is a very special time for us. We have a lot of good time and some bad time – but we will always be together…:) It is simply the only right thing for us ..:)

And as more plus add, we have wonderful friends that help to arrange a nice evening for us in their cafe – Mong Pearl Cafe in Chiang Mai…:)

So a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all of you and remember that we are all creating our own life…..:) for the most basic part anyway….:)
