清邁。第一次踏上清邁土地的時候我還是個什麼都不知道的小女孩。不會說泰文,也很不喜歡泰國菜。除了自己的家人,就再也沒有其他親友了。無論是要到哪裡,不是有爸爸親自接送,就是有司機。當時年紀小,對什麼事物都不會去特別記得。直到我開始計畫這次的行程,我才發現小時候有多麼的無知與愚蠢。在清邁我們都不記路名(因為太長),都只記得大概的地理位置。哪間常去的餐廳在哪裡,就只記得在什麼附近。但這次沒有爸爸陪伴,沒有專人接送,我總不能跟當地的tuk tuk大哥說:我要去我們以前常去的哪間餐廳吧!

其實我已經十年沒回來了!一直想找機會回來探訪,只是一直有錢沒閒,有閒沒錢的再循環... 這次因為剛好有摯友結婚。逮到了機會,就趁這次好好地安排了行程。不過我也要特別感謝我未來的另一半。若少了他的幫忙,我想這份堅持可能到最後還是會變成一場空。多了一個人幫忙執行計畫真的比較輕鬆。這次回來雖然做了很多觀光客會做的事情,不過也不失有趣。有些以前常去的老地方,現在也都還開著(真是謝天謝地)。回到一個你曾經很熟悉的地方,是一種很奇妙的感覺。不知道該怎麼形容好。希望大家會喜歡這全新系列的【倫敦熊遊清邁】,讓天仙與倫敦熊帶你去清邁必逛的、必吃的!

Chiang Mai. I was still a little girl when I first got there. I didn't know a thing. Didn't speak Thai, didn't like the food, didn't know anyone there except for my own family. Everywhere I went, I had either a driver or my dad drive me. I was too young to pay attention to any of the details back then. I only realised what a mistake it had been when I was trying to plan this trip. Where was that shop we used to visit all the time? We didn't remember street names. We remembered their relative locations. Therefore it was difficult to revisit these old places without my dad, since I coudn't exactly tell the driver, 'that place we used to go to...' 

I had not been back to Chiang Mai for ten years. I had wanted to come back, but was either out of time or out of money. This time, I took the opportunity of wanting to attend a good friend's wedding and planned the trip six months in advance. It was hepful to have an other-half-to-be by your side to help you execute the plan. The plan probably would've fallen through again if it had not been for his help. Anyhow, coming back again an doing all the touristy stuff all over again was fun. It was also fun to revisit some of the old place that, I thank the heavens, still exist today. The feeling of coming back to a place with which you've once been so familiar, was quite strange. But in a good way. So, I hope you look foward to and enjoy the series about Chiang Mai!

天仙念:這些照片整理起來應該很費時。不過我得先趁還記得的時候先把行程表打出來,免得到時候整理照片時又忘了吃了什麼做了什麼... 這一陣子還有一些尚未發表的台灣食記找時間發表,就容我好好的來整理這一堆清邁遊記及食記的照片吧!
