Travel guide and route arrangement from Shenyang to Thailand

Thailand is a very popular country. Many China people choose to travel to Thailand when they go abroad for the first time. You can find your own exotic fantasy scene here. Thailand is a friendly tourist destination, with rich cultural and entertainment industries and tourism-related products. Let's introduce it in detail below.

Speaking of Thailand, as one of the most popular overseas tourist destinations in China, it is never strange. Everyone has their own list of tourist destinations in Thailand. They have been to bustling Bangkok and bustling Pattaya, Thailand _ operation mekong and Detective Chinatown. With more and more blockbusters, Thailand has finally arrived, and I want to go to Thailand again.

Rai, which is not well known, is located in the northernmost city of Thailand. With its unique geographical location, it is very exciting to use operation mekong. In such a mysterious but world-famous land, what is the golden triangle of poppies blooming in the sun?

I am already familiar with Bangkok, but after watching detective chinatown, I can't help feeling that I missed a lot. If you want to rediscover the essence and true face of Bangkok, what a powerful and inclusive city it is, it will never be boring. All kinds of strong contrasts make people witness the essence of history and culture, and they can also go shopping in fashionable shopping malls.

Remind before departure

1. It is very convenient to use mobile payment (WeChat/Alipay) in most parts of Thailand. Except for the night market, you can only pay in cash, so don't worry about ATM and foreign currency exchange.

2. Thailand has a tropical climate, with rainy season from June to 10. The temperature is between 23 and 38 degrees, and the temperature difference between southern Thailand and northern Thailand is large. Although it won't rain all the time, when it rains, the road will be muddy. Pay attention to carrying rain gear and wearing non-slip shoes.

Most Thais are Buddhists. When visiting the temple, please make sure to wear appropriate clothes, cover your shoulders and knees, and take off your shoes before entering.

4. When taking a double car, carriage and other means of transportation that need to be negotiated, be sure to ask whether it is the price of a single person or the price of a chartered car, so as to avoid conflicts due to misunderstanding.

Since flying, many people have been talking about a trip to Thailand. This trip to Thailand is really a trip by plane. As a Northeastern, Southeast Asia is really out of reach. Stop or change planes every time you go. The twists and turns of the flight are exhausting.

I happened to see AirAsia actually open a direct flight from Shenyang to Bangkok, and happened to buy a discounted ticket. I bought a round-trip ticket to Bangkok less than 1000, which was completely unimaginable in the past. AirAsia's network in Thailand is also very strong. In addition to Bangkok, Chiang Mai is also the main hub of AirAsia Thailand, with many flights and affordable prices. So this route is Shenyang-Bangkok-Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai-Bangkok-Shenyang, which is connected by AirAsia flights, and there is no turning back.

I used to know that AirAsia is a low-cost airline, so I still feel uneasy about taking this flight. But when I got on the plane and saw the friendly and beautiful Thai stewardess, my doubts were completely dispelled. The flight is comfortable, spacious and considerate. There is no discount because it is a low-cost airline.

In order to save money, for example, I booked three Tanyinyue online in advance, and each meal is about RMB in 30 yuan (if you buy it on the computer, it's not expensive, but you'd better book it in advance). Besides, on different routes, I chose three different Asian-style cuisines: roast chicken rice, Thai fried rice noodles and basil chicken rice set meal. This sense of autonomy and diversity has never been experienced by other airlines.

In this way, we set out from the northeast of China, crossed the vast waters of Qian Shan, and arrived at the mysterious and charming Thailand, and started an interesting journey with the "Rose of Northern Thailand" in Chiang Mai, "Laos Neighbor" in Chiang Rai and "city of angels" in Bangkok.

The story of Thailand and a small town

1. Jiong Hotel in Thailand

The first thing I did after landing in Chiang Mai was to stay at Amy Hotel in Chiang Mai, where many scenes of Tai _ were filmed.

The luxurious Le Meridien Hotel is located in the center of Chiang Mai, just a few steps away from Pae Gate and Valo Market. It combines European design features with the charm of Lanatai and Thailand.

Walking into the famous massage scene in Tai _, there is no movie banter at this time, only elegant rooms and beautiful scenery of Su Tieshan and the city outside the window. Although it is not a scenic spot, you can see the city scenery of Chiang Mai.

The restaurant negotiated Tai _, and now Favola restaurant offers modern Italian food. In addition, the latest cookbook restaurant offers its own international buffet prepared by an interactive open kitchen, and you can also enjoy snacks and cocktails at Latitude 18 or plunge terrace in Chi Pan.

2. Datian Village and Alice Garden

Out of the hotel, straight to the village of Thailand. Jiong Village, whose real name is Meiganbang, is an hour's drive from Chiang Mai. This is a paradise surrounded by mountains. Although it has become popular because of Tim's movies, tourists have no sense of urgency. Apart from seeing hikers from Europe and America from time to time, we are the only tourists from China!

The wooden house in the village is very familiar with the movie pictures, but it is particularly simple. According to the tour guide, this wooden building inherits the tradition of northern Thailand, and the climbing vines on it add mystery and history to the building.

Similar to this village, Alice Garden for lunch is small and beautiful. Although the scale is not large, it is full of literary atmosphere.

The main entrance of the restaurant is surrounded by various unique ancient trees. After passing through the main hall, you will see private gardens appearing in countless large films. At first glance, I don't know how to describe it. Now I think it should be Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz.

So I stood by the swift stream in the drizzle, looking at the blooming flowers, sighing for a good cup of coffee and taking the best time.

3. Elephant Camp

Chiang Mai is especially famous for elephants, and there are many elephant camps in Guangda. Before I came here, I compared a lot, saw several elephant camps, and finally chose Wang Mei Elephant Camp. Although the journey back and forth is really bumpy, people who get carsick on Panshan Road have to take motion sickness medicine, but I have to say that this is the most unforgettable time for me to get along with elephants.

First of all, give us the clothes of elephants, that is, their national clothes. After that, we learn how elephants get along, and then we can feed them with a bag of sugar cane and a bucket of bananas on our backs. When feeding, elephants will steal food from your hands, baskets and bags until they think you are useless.

We brush the elephant's back in the river. Elephants are so good that some will lie on their side and let you brush the other side. Then make food for elephants to regulate their intestines and stomach, and then give them a bath and massage. The elephant is very naughty. He has been playing with the water and sprayed it all through.

This elephant camp in Chiang Mai is only to protect elephants. There are no elephant performances, no elephant riding, and few tourists from China. The boss personally explained all kinds of knowledge and current situation about elephants in Chinese and English, and let everyone return to their hometown with the cry of caring for elephants.

Tip: the specific steps of elephant camp

(1) When you arrive, go to the bathroom and change into the clothes of the elephant camp, because elephants know these clothes and will be very friendly.

(2) Each person will be given a cloth bag, which can be filled with free bananas and sugar cane to feed the elephants.

(3) After explaining the precautions, go to the camp to feed the elephants. Note: Do not run; Don't stand in front of the elephant; Don't shout; Don't be afraid; You can touch the elephant and hug it.

(4) Take the elephant to bathe in the river.

(5) Next, everyone goes back to the bathroom to take a shower and change back into clothes.

4. Teresa Teng and Chiang Mai

Before I came here, I didn't know there was a beautiful song about Chiang Mai. It turns out that a small town in Teresa Teng, which is a story of a small town miles away, refers to Chiang Mai. This tree-lined town in northern Thailand has many cultural relics and temples. In the morning, devout civilians often kneel on the roadside to offer flowers and fast food to monks. This is Teresa Teng's favorite city.

During the period of 1994- 1995, Teresa Teng visited Chiang Mai three times. He came with his French boyfriend Paul. He stayed at Meiping Hotel next to my Amy Hotel, overlooking the whole city of Chiang Mai. Teresa Teng lives in a suite every time he comes.

1In April, 1995, Teresa Teng revisited his hometown, and originally planned to return to France in May, but he suddenly developed asthma on May 8, aged 42. Teresa Teng's sudden death shocked China society, especially her fans. Teresa Teng died in Chiang Mai, which made many people know about this small town.

Chiang Mai Town is really beautiful. It is not a straight path, with unique and neat walls, buildings with different styles, lush foliage and countless flowers dotted her face. When you accidentally step into a roadside shop, there may be an inexplicable surprise. This town is clean and fresh. After a day of sightseeing, you will fall in love with this place that slows down time. Nowadays, many restaurants in Chiang Mai are playing Teresa Teng's songs. While people miss Teresa Teng, they also find the charm of Chiang Mai and like this place.

Cities in white, blue, black and gold

1. White Temple

A white temple is not called a white temple. If there are many people, it becomes a white temple.

The name of the White Temple is Lingguang Temple in Chiang Rai, Thailand, which is located in Chiang Rai, Thailand. It was designed and built by the famous Thai artist CharlermchaiKositpipat. Compared with the splendor of most temples in Thailand, the White Temple is unique with its pure white color. In the sunshine, this white temple roams in the blue sky, shining like a beautiful work of art.

The exterior of the Buddhist temple full of modern style is decorated with fragments of mirrors, while the gable windows are decorated with shapes such as multi-headed snake naga, elephant and umbrella. There is a huge Buddha mural painted by Khositphiphat.

In addition to the pure white roof, pure white walls and pure white pedestal, the White Temple incorporates the ideas and concepts of many artists, and uses sculptures to interpret the meaning, essence and wisdom of Buddhism.

For example, when crossing the Naihe Bridge, you can see thousands of hands waving, struggling and shouting below. This is a fallen soul waiting for redemption in hell, and it also warns the world to do good deeds so that the afterlife will not enter a terrible hell.

For tourists, in addition to the enlightenment of Buddhism, it has also become a place for online celebrities to punch in. The weather is fine. When I arrived at the White Temple, the rain suddenly stopped, and the sky was bright and white clouds blossomed. Against the background of high saturation blue sky, the quietly standing white temple is more sacred and pure. Standing in front of it, I was in a trance and couldn't believe it, as if I were in a fairy tale world.

2. Blue Temple

If the White Temple is a clear stream in the temples in northern Thailand, then the Blue Temple is a wonderful flower in the temples. This blue temple was designed and built by the apprentice of Xu Cailong, the designer of the White Temple, which continued his original idea of building the White Temple. There is no admission fee, parking fee or incense money.

The blue of the temple is deep and dignified. Walking through many temples in the world, it is still hard to believe the design of this temple. Different from the pure color of the White Temple, the Blue Temple has added colorful sculptures such as pink, green and purple on the basis of blue tone, with exquisite and complicated wood carvings and glittering gold foil. Its gorgeous colors really look like a wonderful underwater world.

Against the pale blue sky, the blue temple has become the most colorful building in Chiang Rai. The blue temple gives people a deep and quiet beauty, the most mysterious and quiet relic of the deep sea. The architectural style of the Blue Temple is a combination of Lanna and Myanmar styles. The statue of the monk in the temple is really amazing, as if he was really looking at you when you were looking at him. When you kneel on the carpet to rest, you always want to close your eyes, as if you could hear the sound of the sky and the ocean.

The Blue Temple is very young and has a history of more than one hundred years. It was founded in 1894, earlier than the famous White Temple 104. It is worth mentioning that the Blue Temple in Chiang Mai is still expanding. The local people hope that the Blue Temple in Chiang Mai will be immortal in the history of temple architecture, which shows that the local people cherish the Blue Temple.

Blue temples give people a deep and quiet beauty. When you take off your shoes, enter the main temple, look around the walls and the top of the temple, and those vivid murals, you will sigh the richness and brilliance of the world's colors.

3. Black market

The black house has nothing to do with Buddhism, but it has more shocking spiritual power. The Black House Museum of Culture and Art is an art village with a large area. There are 4 1 various buildings here, most of which were built by Tawangdachani, a master, with teak. The facade is mainly black, so it is called "black house".

Teak house is dominated by Thai wood structure, which has different interpretations according to Thai style. Its artistry transcends practicality and makes the building colorful, but it is not divorced from the origin of Thai architecture.

The museum collects a large number of exhibits about death, and integrates ancient animal bones and primitive hunting tools into various works of art, such as giant seats with water horns, devil reliefs on wooden boats, wind chimes made of animal skins hanging in the air, etc. Reminds people of hell. There are more than a dozen buildings decorated with horns scattered around the Black Temple. All the buildings and exhibits are based on black, which is completely different from the white temple and shows the world difference between heaven and hell.

This temple is shocking at first sight because of its color and imposing manner. But when you walk into a dark room and walk through different buildings, you will find that the beauty that really shocks you must have been polished by years. You can see the traces washed by rain and the dryness baked by the sun. Those rows of dark log-colored houses are deep and thick now.

Coincidence or not, all the scenic spots visited by Chiang Rai are related to colors, which makes people feel that Chiang Rai is a colorful city. I stayed in the luxurious Le Meridien Chiang Rai at night, dragging my tired body.

The double-deck outdoor swimming pool is surrounded by mountains, historic Buddhist temples and tribal villages in the mountains, overlooking the magnificent vortex river. Listening to the mysterious love story of Prince Tree in Le Meridien Hotel, I gradually fell asleep.

Chiang Rai is like different colorful buildings, just like the quiet and beautiful night at Le Meridien Hotel, which has always been in my memory.

Shuanglong Temple, Giant Buddha Pagoda Temple, Four-faced Buddha, Panlong Temple, things that have to be said about faith.

In the Buddhist kingdom of Thailand, temples are not only the epitome of Thai architecture and art, but also an indispensable experience for tourists. On the way to Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Bangkok, I not only visited many famous and beautiful temples, but also was deeply moved by the power of this belief.

Ssangyong Temple in Chiang Mai is a legendary temple, built by the royal family and selected by a white elephant. It is said that in the14th century, a Ceylon monk brought several pieces of Sakyamuni relics to Thailand, one of which was enshrined in the King VI Temple in Rana in 13. In order to make his people worship these relics, he asked four soldiers to follow his white elephant to find the holy land.

The elephant walked all the way to the present Su Tieshan and stopped in front of the tower now seen. Then the white elephant died. Wang built a tower here so that his people could also worship the relics of Sakyamuni. Because there are two golden dragons on both sides of the mountain road, it is called "Shuanglong Temple".

Sutieshan, where Shuanglong Temple is located, means "Xianyou" in Thai. Locals also call this mountain "Huixian Mountain". At an altitude of 1667 meters, there is an observation deck behind the main hall of Shuanglong Temple, overlooking the whole city of Chiang Mai.

The Dragon Palace in ancient Chi Di, also known as the Pagoda Temple of the Giant Buddha, was founded in 14 1 1 year. It is the largest of the six temples in Chiang Mai, and it is also the highest-ranking temple in Chiang Mai alongside Pasin Temple. Temple is a typical Lanna (ancient Thai dynasty) style building, which consists of main hall, small Buddhist temple and monk's room. The entrance of the temple is decorated with snakes and peacocks, and a huge Buddha statue can be seen inside.

1545 After the Chiang Mai earthquake, the spire of the stupa collapsed overnight, so the stupa we see now is flat-topped. Walk around the square pagoda. There are two halls behind the square pagoda.

In the glass cabinet in the middle of each hall, there is a wax figure, on which is a monk in cassock, with bright eyes and vigorous spirit. As Chiang Mai has been the capital of Thailand for a long time, the Giant Buddha Pagoda Temple is a precious historical and cultural relic preserved to this day, showing the splendid history and culture of northern Thailand.

The four-faced Buddha is the most famous god in Thailand. It is said that if you come to Bangkok, Thailand and don't visit the Four Faces Buddha, then you have never been to Thailand. The four-faced Buddha is a transliteration of Chinese. It is called the "Four-faced Buddha" because it looks like the Buddha statue in China, with four sides, southeast and northwest. In fact, it is the Brahman King, the Brahman God of India. He is the creator of heaven and earth, with infinite power, in charge of all the splendor in the world, not the Buddha in China's traditional concept.

Four-faced Buddha, representing health, career, love and wealth respectively, is in charge of all human affairs and is one of the most popular Buddha statues in Thailand. It is said that the efficacy of the four-faced Buddha is extraordinary. So some tourists make many trips to Thailand in order to make a wish in front of the four-faced Buddha. Every year, many Hong Kong and Taiwan movie stars come to Thailand to worship the Four Faces Buddha, which shows the charm of the Four Faces Buddha. Nowadays, the four-faced Buddha is bustling and crowded, and many girls perform traditional Thai songs and dances to fulfill their vows for believers.

Panlong Temple is a modern but extremely exaggerated Buddhist temple. The whole building is 17 stories high and is entangled by a' dragon'. This dragon is lifelike and looks magnificent and domineering, but it is hollow and visitors can climb to the top of the building through its body.

Panlong Temple was built with funds raised by local believers, so as soon as you enter the temple, you can see the palm prints, sole prints and names of many believers who have donated merits, and put up floor tiles to take you into Panlong Temple.

The top of the building is a handsome faucet, and the painted pillars on the top floor are all immortals of military commanders in China mythology, rising into the sky. Climb up along the dragon body of the temple, about four meters in diameter and 280 meters in length. The whole building is about 80 meters high, and you can't see the road ahead or the route. At the bottom of the temple, there is a huge golden Buddha statue, several temples and smaller statues, where tourists worship.

I have seen all kinds of temples, and I have also seen many unique lotus flowers planted in temples. I can't help but think of someone who once said: Time is as quiet as a quietly blooming green lotus. It's like I'm walking lightly with a lotus in my hand, walking through the path of flowers, holding a clear spring in my heart, standing in the red dust of the years, counting camellias all the way, feeling a little happy, some sad, some infatuated and some frivolous. In meditation, a violet blooms in your heart, a pot of green tea is warm and moist, smoke billows from the kitchen outside the castle peak, and the Buddha rolls in your hand for you to savor. Every time you read it, a clear spring lurks in your body and mind, filling your five bodies, purifying the dust again and again, and making your heart detached again and again. Even in the bustling city, my heart is unusually quiet. This, perhaps, is the feeling of faith, Buddhism in Thailand.

I've had enough Thai food that I can't forget.

Thai food enjoys an international reputation, and whether it is spicy or light, it can capture a large number of supporters. Thai cuisine is mainly divided into four major cuisines, namely Northern Thai Cuisine, Northeastern Thai Cuisine, Chinese Thai Cuisine and Southern Thai Cuisine. The ingredients used in different places are often influenced by neighboring countries. A map of Thailand in a foodie's mind should look like this: fish, shrimp and seafood in the southern seashore, winter yin gong and chicken coconut in the central plain, while pig's foot soup and fried pig's skin in the mountains of northern Thailand make your index finger move. Thai people who love to eat agree that the farther north, the more delicious food there is.

Online celebrity Mid-Levels Garden Restaurant, Chiang Mai, Green House Thai Restaurant, and Water Coconut Grove Cafe in Bangkok. Thailand's elegance, innovation and cuisine from different regions make the scenery and taste buds overlap and complement each other.

Thai food is more sour and spicy, more energetic and stronger than ordinary Thai food. More than 700 years ago, Chiang Mai, as a trade transit point on the Silk Road, was one of the largest cities in Southeast Asia. There are a lot of eating habits here, and it has gradually become its own system, with the characteristics of Myanmar, Laos and Xishuangbanna, China.

For example, coconut milk should not be placed in the cool place of clear soup in winter, because Chiang Mai people think that the rich coconut milk is overwhelming and masks the mixed aroma of citronella, southern ginger, lime and lemon leaves. Without its interference, the fragrance of other spices can also be revealed. The biggest feature of Thai food is sour and spicy. Spices are heavier than those in south-central Thailand, and ingredients and tastes are far more "wild" than those in central Bangkok.

Another feature of summoning the soul of food in northern Thailand is that many foods are dipped in Chili sauce. But the Chili sauce in Chiang Mai is different from that in Bangkok. There are two common kinds: Chili tomato minced meat and green Chili sauce. Chopped tomatoes and pork are somewhat similar to noodles in old Beijing, while green Chili sauce is a local green pepper, which is baked and peeled with fire, mashed into mud and pickled into sauce. Although it is highly spicy, it will not cause a sore throat. All kinds of ingredients can be freely matched with meat sauce. One dish can taste ten flavors. As long as you dip in this Chili sauce that Chiang Mai people regard as sacred, you will have a wonderful feeling: it feels very spicy at first, but then it releases a texture different from the food itself in your mouth.

The soul of eating goods washed out by Thai food is often unable to adapt to other cuisines. From then on, Dongyin Gong, coconut tender chicken soup, curry fish cake, green curry chicken and mango fragrant rice are lingering in my mind every day.

Those films made in Thailand, combined with their own religious beliefs and folk customs, are coquettish, charming and full of pride. You can't help looking at him. Thailand in the movie seems to suddenly step onto the stage and catch everyone's eye at once. People see the other side of Thailand and think it's amazing. Truth, publicity and surprise become its labels. Movies can pass, but this place is full of bright sunshine, colorful colors, melodious birds and insects, and intoxicating fragrance, so it stays in my stomach, in my heart, and in my travel notes that I will always look back.
