Travel: Thailand Myanmar Laos

Hello people!! Welcome back! I'll be sharing some pictures I took during my trip to Thailand recently! You might be wondering why is Myanmar and Laos in the title too right? That's because those two countries were very near Thailand so we might as well go there as well! Hehehe~ And this post will not be as detailed as my Japan Trip (promise, part 2 coming soon) because there's not as much interesting things to talk about! Oops...


The famous photo tree in T1! ^^



I love plane foods! 

With my waipo and ahma~~ 

Doi Suthep Temple

(sorry to say)But i feel that the monk here abit unreal... Cuz we let the monk pray for us but the monk use international language and not Thai! Got 恭喜发财,万事如意,everyday happy happy etc...


Fresh strawberriesssss <3 at Meo Hill Tribe

Okay, so this is opium fruits (鸦片果). You see that yellowish sep/latex on the fruit? That's opium in it's most basic form! Although opium is a type of drug, it can be made into Heroin too (aka 麻醉药 anaesthetic that doctors use)

A very pretty flower like green leaves!

The scenery of the whole flower garden~~





For my Facebook friends, you might already saw this before! Hahaha This is a dress i made from the welcome flower ring they gave in the airport! I used whatever i can find in the hotel and stuff!

Handmade soap! Ain't they pretty?

This pink lotus is my favourite! So delicate looking~

Khantoke Dinner with Hill Tribe Show

Super chio dancer! Even more chio real life! (ermm... Hope i don't sound pervert)

Bamboo Boat!! SO COOL RITE! Its those we always see in Chinese 古装 drama!




Elephant poop so smelly.... yucks! I've been to so many elephant farm/villages, this is the smelliest...

SELFIE W ELEPHANT!!!

This is the only place I'm interested in seeing during my trip actually... (other than shopping in platunam of course! haha) 

I walked around the whole village and this lady is the prettiest with the longest neck! HAHAH

Their classroom! And the words on the board is their own language~~ 

If my memory did not fail me, this lady is from miaozu village 苗族村

How can i not take a selfie with this lady here?


We also went to see handmade + hand paint umbrellas!


PRETTY!! I'm gonna try to copy paint a elephant painting they did cuz i think its super pretty!

Act Act Act :/

THIS IS SUPER YUMMY I TELL YOU!! I don't know if its a local delicacy but i had it in the hotel and never seen it anywhere in the streets... Its called Steamed rice flour with coconut milk! LOVE IT



 Next up, Wat Rong Khun - White Temple

THIS ''GOLDEN TOILET'' I FEEL DAMN CHEATED LORH!! So i was told that this place have a golden toilet and its super pretty. And i imagined it to have golden coloured toilet bowl and basin. But the toilet inside is normal until cannot normal. Only the outside is golden in colour... Zzz

A very impressive ornate white stucco work temple made and designed by a famous Thai artist, Chalermchai Kositpipat.

Although its super pretty, but we're not allowed to touch anything here... except the floor maybe.. HAHA cuz we need to step on it right? We got nothing to do here other than taking picture of the exterior as photos were not allowed inside. (rules are rules are rules)



Because Myanmar is so close to Chiangrai, Thailand, we only need to walk over! Just like Singapore and Malaysia ya?



This is the exact replica of Shwedagon Pagoda in Naypyidan but 10 times smaller. Hahaha Because many tourist don't get to see the real one, their government made a replica near the border of Myanmar! Hehe

Tourist shot.


The view of Myanmar~~

For Laos, we have to take a small boat over to reach there1

The boat behind is the type we took!

This is Laos snake whisky. Hahaha For mens one...

Food Review: Shop Wonderland Cafe

SUP guys! Its has been a long time since our last update before we went MIA right? Super super super sorry about it because both of us are busy preparing for our up coming O's and N's level which explain the reason why we are not updating after so long. And today we are back again with a new blogpost so let not wait and get started! ^^


As you guys know, Haji Lane is a hipster street filled with lots of fashionable clothing shops and accessories. But in recent years, more and more cafes are appearing in that area too which caught our attention! *grin* 



During our trip there, we went to try out Shop Wonderland Cafe which is mixture of a cafe *The pantry* on level 1 and a shop/workshop area on level 2 where you can shop there and eat there well you like. It is also a very pretty style cafe with a bit of vintage kind of look, we're sure that you guys will surely notice this cute eye-catching cafe while shopping in that area. ^^









Look at those cute pineapples! *.*

Also Shop Wonderland Cafe got their cakes from Maple and Market CLICK HERE ( which we blogged about it previously, click on the link to read it! :D) and pastries from carpenter and cook. Hence in just one location you can get to try the food from 2 different cafes.



Green Banana Cake
Price: $7.60



This is our favorite cake! It is not too sweet nor has strong taste of the banana. It tasted really light and fluffy which make us want to eat another one!! Hahaha XD Many people bought this cake when they visited the cafe so we strongly recommend you to try it too! You may think that $7.60 for a piece of cake is abit over priced but we double confirm plus crop that you will love it just like us! haha :D

Rating: 9/10

Iced Chocolate and Iced Mocha
Price: $7.60

Both of us think that the iced chocolate is still okay but sadly there is nothing special about it, it just taste like normal chocolate drink that we can have outside and it is not really worth the price too. :( As for the iced mocha both of us think it is not really to our liking because it is really bitter even though we mixed it with the ice-cream it came with, so we don't really recommend you guys to try it if you're not a fan of bitter drinks. ^^

Rating 5/10

Rose Cake 
Price: $7.60


The rose cake itself taste rather normal pretty much not from what we expected it to be as we thought it will have some rose taste but nahhh... We didn't get to taste any of the rose flavor instead is tasted abit sour... *sour face* and it make our throat really uncomfortable (for us). In conclusion, not fan of sour = don't order :) *but we really don't recommend it*

Rating: 6/10

Red Velvet Cake
Price: $7.60


This Red Velvet Cake taste not too bad, it is very moist and not too sweet. Together with the cream cheese, it taste just right for us. You sure won't get sick of it after a few bites. What both of us like about this is that the cream is very smooth and silky!! Most importantly, MOIST CAKE = GOOD CAKE. We do recommend you guys to try this too! :D

Rating: 8/10



Overview: In a nut shell, both of us still think Shop Wonderland Cafe is still a worthy place to go. Firstly, you can shop at their shop at level 2 before you eat or after you eat. Secondly, even though the price stated for the cakes and drinks are pretty expensive but what can we said, this shop consist of foods from different cafe which save your time from traveling! *thats killing 2 bird with 1 stone* :D Lastly to double combo, the cafe have free wifi too (yesh we said it FREE WIFI) where both of us think that you can go there to do project with your friends, small gathering/meet ups or to grab a small bite when you get tired shopping ^^
