Firstly when we arrived, the hotel driver was waiting for us with an orange board with the name of the hotel, called "D2". The driver himself was wearing an uniform of white and orange...and so was the van. And guess wat...even the hotel is white and orange...even the christmas tree was orange!!
Other than the whole orange part...the hotel is great. It has great service and the rooms are very nice. I was totally impressed with the rooms..(found out later that the rooms were pretty expensive).. 
There was a plasma TV and a DVD player in the room!!!First time I have ever seen anything like this. One slight problem was the bathroom..You can actually view a person taking a shower if you don't pull down the blinds...Wonder why they did such a weird design... 
With the blinds left open...you can actually see my sister!!Imagine how disgusting it would be if you were taking a shower and someone actually pulled up the blinds...
That night, we went to the famous night market, which was right next to our hotel. The whole market consists of many small little stalls along the streets. Bargaining is a must there. After buying some things, we went back exhausted and slept early as we had to wake up very early the next day.
The next day, we went to Doi Intanon national park and the annual Royal Flora exhibition. We were all wearing two layers of clothes thinking it w0uld be really cold...but instead I began to sweat!!So much for cold weather...Anyways, Doi Intanon was quite a nice place. Though the admission prices are freaking expensive!!! First, we visited 2 Buddhist temples. We had to climb more than 100 steps to get to the temple!!On top of that, we visited 2 temples...which means we climbed over 200 stairs.
Not sure if you can see the picture clearly...hopefully you can tell that there were more than 100 stairs...
Next, we went further up and reached...THE HIGHEST SPOT IN THAILAND!!!! Proof that we have been to the highest spot...
It is 2565m above sea level. Pretty high huh?
After that we went to the Royal Flora exhibition which happens annually...That exhibition was hugee. Even bigger than the Perth Royal Show, for those who have been there before...You can easily spend the whole day at the exhibition. There were stalls and mini exhibitions and gardens everywhere...Didn't really see that many flowers actually..Architectural designs were the main attractions there. Each country had its own small little garden. I am not being biased or anything but in my opinion, India had the most beautiful design and was the biggest of all countries..
I shall let the pictures do the rest of the talking..The first two were taken from a small hill kind of thing..in the exhibition itself...I tried to take a picture of my dad from above. Let's see if you can spot my dad in the second pic...Other than that, as you can see the whole exhibition was really nicely decorated...
That day, we all made up for all the exercising we haven't done for the last few months or so. We walked sooo much!!!I bet we lost a few kilos. We all came back with sore legs...but it was all worth it for the beautiful sceneries we saw...
The day after we went around the city and in the evening, we went to the airport to catch our flight. It is a truly memorable experience...For those who haven't gone there before, please visit Chiang Mai at least once. You will like it..trust me...
