My Travel Journal

"There isn't much I haven't shared with you along the road and through it all there'd always be tomorrow's episode" - Elton John

I started traveling around the world since early 80s when I had the opportunity to combine business trips with vacations. Then later when my rezeki is in abundance, there were numerous other trips along the way for vacations, most of the time with hubby and the kids when the timing is right. I have also started to compile the journal and photo-pages covering almost more than 45 years of world wide travel. Some destinations I visited just once, others many times. Many of those places are the obvious famous places people would like to visit but some, the casual traveler doesn't even think to try. I have placed links to my travel at the side bar of my personal page, My Life Reflections, and will be updating them from time to time.

My wish is to continue my travel and complete circumnavigate the globe, insyaAllah…

Breakfast in the room.

Checked out around 8.30 am then drove on Highway 1 to Chiang Rai. Detoured to Masjid Pakistan Nurul Islam and solat sunat there. We had roti pisang telur and coffee at Halefa Halal Bistro located a short walking distance from the mosque.

We continued our journe via route 118 and made a few Hot Spring stops along the way. Chiang Mai has some of the best hot springs in Thailand not far from the city.

Arrived in Chiang Mai around 3.00 pm and headed straight to Halal Street Hilal Town where we had our lunch of seafood tomyam and fried rice at Roumit Restaurant located near the Masjid Hidayatul Islam Ban Haw. Our favorite Restaurant Sophia is still at the same location.

Checked-in Diamond Riverside Hotel at RM78/night. We had stayed here before during our Q3 Kembara. We took a refreshing nap till sundown. After prayers, we walked to Kalarae Night Bazaar, a short distance from our hotel. The bazaar is a busy nightly hub of street food hawkers, fabric merchants, memorabilias and souvenirs, artists, plus live music and dance shows.

We had an hour of foot massage while watching pretty Thai girls adorned in tradional costumes performing and dancing on the stage. Later we had roti pisang and iced blended fruit juice for dinner before we walked back to the hotel.
