Chiang Mai, Thailand

TEMPLES

united_kingdomChiang Mai is the most touristic city in the North of Thailand. It’s a cool city, I felt safe and didn’t get bored at all. We spent 4 nights here: we ate Thai food with the locals, we saw a crowd of young monks in the city, walked a lot and relaxed our feet with a foot massage. In one of the days we went for Thai Cooking School.

 The first batch of photos are from different temples in the city.

romania_flagChiang Mai este cel mai turistic oras din Nordul Tailandei.  Mi s-a parut un oras fain, m-am simtit in siguranta si nu m-am plictisit deloc. Am stat 4 nopti aici, am mancat ieftin si bun la restaurante alaturi de localnici si am vazut un mare grup de tineri calugari. Intr-una din zile am fost la un curs de gatit mancare tailandeza, despre care am povestit aici.

In primele poze sunt diverse temple din oras.

WAT DOI SUTHEP

united_kingdomNext photos are taken at Wat Doi Suthep. At the entrance were little girls with make-up who were dancing for money (a fancy way of begging, with child exploitation) and at the entrance were children wearing colorful costumes and posing with tourists also for money; if you want to take their photo and not give them money, they cover their faces.

romania_flagUrmatoarele poze sunt de la la templul  Doi Sutep, unde erau fetite machiate strident ce dansau pentru bani (o exploatare a copiilor pentru un cersit mai …fitzos), iar la intrare alti copii in costume colorate, pozau cu turistii pentru bani; daca nu le dadeai bani isi acopereau chipul si nu se lasau pozati.

NATIONAL ANTHEM

united_kingdomNext photo is taken at Sunday Walking Street and people are standing still while the National Anthem of Thailand was played on speakers at 6:00 PM. Thailand’s National Anthem is played twice per day at 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM and you have to stand up while it plays.

romania_flagUrmatoarea poza e facuta in Piata de Duminica: oamenii stateau nemiscati in timp ce din difuzoare rasuna Imnul National al Tailandei. Imnul Tailandei se aude de doua ori pe zi (la ora 8:00 si ora 18:00, pe strazi la ocazii speciale, in cinematografe inainte de inceperea fimlului, la TV) si trebuie sa te ridici in picioare in timp ce canta.

VIDEO

united_kingdomIn the next video you can see Buddhist Monks praying (it’s a rhythmic and repetitive song. Very interesting!) (put the volume high!)

romania_flagIn urmatorul videoclip sunt calugari budisti la rugaciune (e un cantec ritmic si repetitiv. Foarte interesant) (dati volumul tare pentru a auzi!)
