Sawadikaaa.....

Went to Betong during the MERDEKA holidays with my family. It was National Day and we were not even in Malaysia celebrating. How patriotic of us. Haha! Anyway Betong is situated in the southermost province of Thailand and it borders the states of Kedah and Perak. The food there was so so only but the place where we stayed for the first night was beautiful. We took some sort of a mini lorry up the hill and along the way we passed by tons and tons of durian trees. The durians were humongous. We had plenty after that. I thought we were going to stay in a hill top hotel but it turned out we stayed in....

Don't underestimate this cute little looking hut.

Doesn't it look so cozy

The scenery there was also fantastic and the place is just perfect for those who want to get away from the busy life in the city.

Me and the sunflowers

And now durian time.....yummmyyy....

This is what they used to open the durians.

Baby durian

Me and baby durian

I just love durians =P

The next day we came back down and back to the crowded city. This time stay in hotel la of course.

Me and my sister got our own room

Pollution outside the hotel room. Haizz....

Then went shopping and saw this interesting note to customers. Shopkeepers nowadays are just getting smarter. haha.

Other than that we also went jungle trekking in the jungle where the communist used to live. Saw all the leftover pots, pans, traps and many other historical stuff. These communists are actually very smart judging by how they try to survive in the jungle without being notice by the British. For example they cook at one place but they managed to channel the smoke through a man made small tunnel to the other side of the jungle so as to trick the British soldiers. Also visited temples as Thailand are famous for their temples.

I also learned a few simple Thai language:

Sawadika - for guys

Sawadikap - for girls

(Haha I din't know that)

Peng - Expensive

Dai - Can ( So if you want to say can, can, can to a person you say dai, dai, dai. Like asking the person go die only. XD)

Mai Dai - Cannot

Tao Lai - How much?
