THE HALL OF INSPIRATION

17th December 2015 ~ The Hall of Inspiration is a museum as a tribute to the present King as well as other royal family members such as the Princess Mother. The focus is put on the hard work and contribution the people from the palace to bring development to the nation.

The place was not as popular as the Royal Villa and the Garden. I was almost the only person around reading the writings on the walls. There were other visitors but they just seemed to walk through the hall without even looking at the displays.

That wraps up my 3D2N stay in Chiang Rai. I would recommend Chiang Rai if you are looking for a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and get yourself closer with nature and the history, culture and geography of Thailand.

THE FLOWERS IN DOI TUNG GARDEN

Some of the flowers captured on my compact digital camera during the visit to Doi Tung Garden. Glad that the pics turned out well despite the thick fog surrounding the place.

THE FOGGY DOI TUNG GARDEN - PART TWO

In October 2015, when I was visiting Bangkok, there was this flower exhibition in Siam Discovery Centre. And according to the spoke person, the orchids at the booths came from Chiang Rai, which was well-known for its flowers.  [Read about it HERE] Here I was in Chiang Rai, a year later, observing the flowers in the actual garden of the aforesaid place.

The place was still covered with thick fog and there was no chance for the sun to shine through. I hope I could come back to this place again, and I will make sure to go there when they are having the flower festival (in January, if I am not mistaken).

"Just living is not enough.
One must have sunshine, freedom and

a little flower."
