- Continuing from the trip to Mon Cham -


Day 2

January 7, 2017

Continuing our journey from the previous blog, where we explored the scenic Mon Cham, we headed to a waterfall restaurant along the Mae Rim-Samoeng route in Chiang Mai for lunch. After a satisfying meal, we hopped onto the back of a pickup truck, eager to soak in the fresh air and breathtaking views. The familiar sensation of the wind in our hair and the expansive landscape brought a sense of tranquility and joy.

We traveled to our next destination, which was not far from the restaurant. This place was recommended by Mr. Sakorn, and it was the **Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden**. Initially, we planned to visit a strawberry farm near Sa-merng, but we didn't have enough time. Therefore, we decided to go to the Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden instead.

  • There were four of us in a pickup truck, and the entrance fee was 220 baht.


The walkway is decorated with a variety of flowers.

Walking up from the parking lot in the front of the Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden, you will encounter a wide field with a variety of flowers planted, with mountains as the background. The soft light in the late afternoon attracts a fair number of tourists to take pictures in the flower garden area.



We briefly stopped to take some photos before continuing on to the project's HIGHLIGHT.

Canopy Walks Treetop Walkway

The Canopy Walkway is the longest treetop walkway in Thailand, stretching over 400 meters. Located on the right side of the road, opposite the 77th Anniversary Garden, within the Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden.




The design and construction of the building utilize a steel structure painted in a muted green-grey color to achieve harmony with the surrounding natural environment.


The Canopy Walk is a well-designed and constructed steel structure that has been hot-dip galvanized for safety. In some sections, there are glass panels that offer stunning views and photo opportunities surrounded by nature and tall trees. Visitors can also enjoy views of the ground below.




Towering over 20 meters above the ground, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the treetops.


The scenic trail above is adorned with natural beauty, featuring towering trees flanking both sides of the bridge that stretches ahead. A diverse array of trees, including three-leaf pines, betel nut palms, pines, Indian rosewood, Siamese rosewood, and many others, intermingle in this lush, evergreen forest. The forest's rich biodiversity is attributed to its high altitude, exceeding 800 meters above sea level.

While walking through nature, the sound of birds chirping can be heard constantly. Often, a variety of bird species can be seen perched on branches. Birdwatchers and photographers should not miss this opportunity. Our guide, Mr. Sakorn, always carries binoculars with him. When he sees a bird, he stops to observe it for a long time. Sometimes, when he sees a beautiful bird, he calls us over to look through his binoculars.

We walked to the end of the bridge and encountered a large crowd. Everyone wanted to take photos there because of the beautiful mountain view in the background. My friends and I couldn't get through, and we were too lazy to wait. (Haha) So we walked back to explore the second section of the botanical garden inside the project. We took photos along the way.

It is rare for the three of them to travel together, as each has their own perspective on travel and values their personal time. They prefer to travel in ways that align with their individual interests and preferences.

Every day is a runway.

Following the signs indicating the exit route, we continued walking until we reached a different exit than the entrance. The exit led to a souvenir shop and a restaurant. Exiting the building, we encountered a flower field, the same one we had run up from the parking lot to photograph earlier.

After a leisurely stroll through the Canopy Walk, we boarded a vehicle to explore the inner sanctum of the Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden.

A Garden of Diverse Roses

A garden of roses, a myriad of varieties.


Rose Garden

The first garden that greeted us was the rose garden, which was full of various rose species. I can't remember the names of many of them, but there were both beautiful flowers that we often see at Pak Khlong Talat and many other rose species that I didn't recognize. If we had come in December, the flowers would have been much more beautiful. When we visited, the flowers were still there, but they were starting to wilt and the rose petals were beginning to fall.

A person who loves white roses will be particularly fascinated by and linger around white rose gardens. Standing there, gazing at and photographing them brings them comfort. Being surrounded by numerous white roses...

White iron benches are arranged for tourists to sit and take beautiful photos.


Arid Plants Greenhouse

After the rose garden, we entered the greenhouse. Inside the greenhouse is the Arid Plants ZONE. It is a large greenhouse that grows various types of cacti, such as Echinocactus grusonii, Mammillaria, Astrophytum, Sansevieria, Echeveria, and tall drought-tolerant trees.

The Cactus Greenhouse: A Diverse Collection of Spiny Wonders

The Cactus Greenhouse showcases a diverse collection of cacti, featuring both rare and commonly available species from around the world. Each specimen boasts a unique and often challenging name, highlighting the vast and fascinating diversity within the cactus family.

A Special Place for Cacti

This area holds a special place in our hearts, as we have a particular fondness for growing cacti. We find immense joy in their unique shapes and captivating blooms. These thorny plants, despite their prickly exterior, possess an undeniable beauty that lies hidden within. Witnessing the stunning flowers of a cactus is a true challenge for any cultivator, making it a rewarding experience for those who succeed.






Blue-green succulent Echeveria 'Flaming Kathy'

This Zebra Haworthia, which resembles a cross between an aloe vera plant and a zebra, has flowers with long stems.


Carnivorous Plant House

Insectivorous Plant Garden

The botanical garden will collect insectivorous plants that have evolved to survive in nutrient-poor soils. These plants have adapted to trap and consume insects or small animals to obtain sufficient nutrients. Examples include pitcher plants, sundews, and bladderworts.

A Rice Pot and a Monkey's Curry Pot: An Unfamiliar Wood from the Deep Jungle

This phrase evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue. It suggests a foreign object, a "rice pot and a monkey's curry pot," made from an unfamiliar wood found in the depths of the jungle. The juxtaposition of the mundane (rice pot) with the exotic (monkey's curry pot) creates a sense of wonder and curiosity. The use of the word "unfamiliar" further emphasizes the foreignness of the object and its origin.

The phrase could be interpreted in several ways. It could be a literal description of an object, or it could be a metaphor for something else. For example, it could be a metaphor for the challenges of adapting to a new culture or environment. The "rice pot and monkey's curry pot" could represent the different customs and traditions that one encounters in a new place, while the "unfamiliar wood" could represent the challenges of navigating these differences.

Ultimately, the meaning of the phrase is open to interpretation. However, it is clear that it is meant to evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue. It invites the reader to wonder about the origin of the object, the purpose it serves, and the story behind its creation.


There were many other areas we didn't get to see because just looking at the cacti and roses took a long time. As the sky began to darken and the light faded, we couldn't continue exploring. We had to prepare for our journey to the accommodation. The owner of the accommodation called us several times, worried about our difficulty in reaching the place, as it was a long drive from here to the Chom Thong-Doi Inthanon area.

There are many zones in the garden that we haven't visited yet.



Let's take a quick photo before we check in.

On the way back, I walked through the back zone of the Cactus greenhouse. Outside the building, I saw a tree with yellow fruits growing all over it. I couldn't remember the name of the tree, but it looked like a moonflower, the fragrant one that we used to smell as children. However, this fruit did not seem to have any smell.





The photo shoot was very serious. I've never seen anything like it before. (But then again, neither have the other people... haha)

Chomthong Farmstay & Camping

Note: I have translated the provided text into English, maintaining the original HTML structure.

The sun was setting as we left the Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden. Sakorn drove us to our accommodation, Chom Thong Farmstay & Camping, which I had booked through Booking.com. I had no idea where it was located in Chiang Mai, only that it was near the road leading up to Doi Inthanon, as we planned to hike the Kew Mae Pan Nature Trail on Doi Inthanon the next morning.

Translation:

The journey was so cold that we were shivering uncontrollably. We were sitting in the back of a pickup truck, and the wind was biting. Eventually, we couldn't bear it anymore and asked to move inside the car. It was a good decision, as it was already dark and we still hadn't reached our accommodation by 8 pm. The road was deep and deserted, passing through a village and then a temple. We continued driving through rice fields, and I regretted not arriving earlier to see the view. The aunt had told us it was beautiful, and from what we saw in the reviews, it was indeed stunning. The natural scenery, rice fields, mountains, and the opportunity to sleep in a tent and enjoy the cool breeze seemed like the perfect way to relax.

However, all we have ever seen is darkness...



Translation:

The original text is in Thai and describes a delicious and enjoyable experience of having a hot pot barbecue during cold weather.

Here's the translation:

"Amazing hot pot! Grilling during the cold, breezy weather is simply delightful!"


Upon our arrival, the kind-hearted aunt warmly welcomed us with fresh lychees from her garden. She had already lit the charcoal stove in anticipation of our request for a "mooガタ" dinner, which she estimated would cost around 300 baht. The atmosphere felt like home, with the aunt and uncle treating us like their own children. They even expressed concern about us getting lost in the dark, as the path leading to their home was quite remote.

A barbecue party with the cold weather is a perfect match. It was delicious! After eating, I took a shower and went to bed. Cold water and this kind of weather, we have to get through it! 5555

Translation:

The original text describes a camping experience in Thailand. Here's the translated version:

We booked a large tent for three people. Inside the tent, the accommodation provided us with blankets and mosquito nets. We went to sleep early, hoping to wake up early the next morning. We prayed that it wouldn't rain too much, just a light drizzle. We wanted to see the beautiful sea of fog at Kew Mae Pan. If it rained heavily, we might not be able to sleep well.

The original text is in Thai. Here is the translation in English:

Good night, sweet dreams. Tomorrow we will take you to hunt the sea of fog at Kiw Mae Pan!!

Is there anything else I can help you with?
