il Giardino Romantico

วัดพระธาตุดอยสุเทพ Wat Phra That 位於 Suthep山上。我想是個觀光客都很熟悉的景點。這次的懷舊之旅，因為帶著從來沒來過清邁的老公（當時還是未婚夫），所以把這裡也規劃了進行程中。

Wat Phra That is located on Suthep Mountain. (Doi being 'mountain' in Thai). This is a rather popular site of attraction, so I'm sure many would be familiar with the place. As my husband (fiance at the time) had never been to Chiang Mai before, I planned this into our itinerary. 



到了停車的地點，會有很多攤販。不過我們這天吃的很飽，所以沒有被誘惑到。

As we were dropped off, there were quite a few vendors selling all kinds of finger foods. We had quite a lunch before our arrival, so we were not tempted.



接著你會看到著名的雙龍樓梯～ 

Then you'll find the famous double dragon stair case. 





少數民族的少女們會在階梯上等著賺觀光客的錢。如果你沒有準備好要掏錢，請勿隨便拍照喔！（她們絕對會追著你"討債"的！！）

Young girls of the hill tribe people will await you along the stairs. If you don't mind spending a few Baht on them, go ahead and shoot your pictures at will. Otherwise, be discreet or don't take any pictures, as they can get quite aggressive trying to get some money off you.



這間廟宇據說建立於1383年。不過因為定期補修，所以一點都看不出來有這麼久的歷史。我們這次來也有很多地方再進行補修的工程。其實省了很多記憶卡的空間。

The temple is said to have been built in 1382. With regular maintainance and rennovation work, it's really difficult to realise the age of the temple!



































記得小時候來這些鐘都是可以敲的。不過現在被禁止了！

I remember coming here as a little girl and playing with these bells. Apparently that is now forbidden. 











其實泰國很多廟宇都建的很用心。所以來之前記得記憶卡要留足夠的空間，才能捕捉到各個小角落的細節。

A lot of temples are built with intricate designs. Make sure you have sufficient space on your memory card if you wish to capture all minute details! 



下山後才去逛逛山腳下的商店。不過對我們真的沒啥吸引力～

We took a look at the souvenir shops after we descended the stairs. 



附近有人家養雞。

Chickens raised by local residents.

帶我們來的大哥在開車下山前，先讓我們在景觀處停留了一下。在高山處可見整座清邁的市容。

The dear old friend that drove us around dropped us off at this view site before heading home. Here, you'll be able to see the entire city of Chiang Mai! 


包括我們當時入住的旅館：Chiang Mai Orchid Hotel

離開前可以買些手工手鍊當紀念品。這些都是出自少數民族的巧手喔！

Before you leave, you might want to purchase a few handmade bracelets! These are the handicrafts of the hill tribe people!

天仙念：  清邁遊記竟然還有沒寫到的～ 我也很訝異～ 這次去是跟當時的未婚夫。下次去小仙女都不知道會多大了呢！！（好想帶她去體驗潑水節啊～）
