I went to a temple full of roosters. The roadside near the temple was filled with roosters of all sizes. When I arrived at the gate, two huge rooster statues were particularly eye-catching. Roosters are popular in Thai temples, but not because of the Chinese zodiac. The reason is a long story: Burma and Thailand fought a long war in the 16th century. Thai Prince Naresuan was defeated by the Burmese army in Ayutthaya. The prince was captured and taken to Burma. After five years of war that exhausted their respective national strengths, legend has it that the Thai and Burmese sides made a bet that if Thai Prince Naresuan won the cockfighting competition, Myanmar would return Ayutthaya to Thailand. The result was that Prince Naresuan's rooster won the competition. The prince returned home and became king. Ordinary Thais believe that roosters bring good luck and prosperity. Roosters are considered protectors against misfortune and evil. Putting a picture of a red rooster at home can prevent fire. #爱凯天童 #全球旅行

Roi Jai Rak Market is under the Roi Jai Rak project in Mae Ai District, Chiang Mai Province. This point is a route between Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai Provinces, but it is a border route. Simply put, it is the Chiang Mai - Chiang Rai Northern Road, the Mae Fah Luang District, Chiang Rai Province route, and Mae Ai and Fang Districts. The route is quite winding. This point is like a good rest stop. Inside the Roi Jai Rak project market, there are beautiful flower gardens. It can be said that there are also coffee shops, souvenir markets, community products, and agricultural products of local villagers. I can tell you that if we stop by, it is like supporting the villagers and generating income for the community. This place is famous for its delicious coffee and unique chrysanthemum flowers, both fresh and dried. You can buy them as souvenirs to take home. #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #VisitChiangMai #100WaysToTravel

Wat Tha Ton was originally an ancient temple, as can be assumed from the ancient objects found in this area. Wat Tha Ton was also an educational institution for monks, novices, and youths, a drug rehabilitation center, and a center for helping hill tribe people. It is a temple with beautiful scenery. On the occasion of His Majesty the King's 50th anniversary of his accession to the throne, the temple initiated a project to build a glass pagoda to honor the King on the top of the hill. On top, there is a viewpoint where you can see the community, rice fields, and the winding Kok River below. Phra Borommathat Ratchamangklacharn Samanchan (Glass Pagoda) A square-based pagoda with a round spire decorated with three types of glass: -Colored glass The part that you see looks like Benjarong porcelain, which represents ordinary people who have emotions of love, greed, anger, and delusion. The construction of this glass pagoda has a lot of colors because it was built with the faith of ordinary people the most. -Reflective glass When looking at this glass pagoda from a high angle, you will see the part that reflects the shadow of the pagoda, which is made of stainless steel mirrors. (But we probably can't see from above except by airplane.) The reflective glass is like a practitioner who thinks and does what he does. He practices better and more properly than ordinary people. However, some of them are stuck with that goodness and cannot escape. - Clear glass is used as a see-through window in the pagoda. This clear glass is like someone who has escaped and is no longer attached to anything. #100TravelTips #ChiangMaiTravel #WatThaTon

This trip we traveled to the North in late rainy season, early winter. The weather there started to get a bit cold. The atmosphere was great. We visited many places, orange orchards, temples. When we went, the oranges were just starting to turn orange. The orchard owner was very kind and provided excellent service. There was a tram to take us to see the orange plantation, food was provided, and freshly squeezed orange juice was available for us to drink. On the way back, they picked fresh oranges for us to bring back with us. #OrangeOrchard

#WinterTravel This winter, I would like to recommend another tourist attraction in Fang District, Chiang Mai Province, which is Preecha Fang Orange Garden. This honey orange garden is located near Doi Pha Hom Pok National Park. You can get there by car. The atmosphere is nice and cool, surrounded by mountains and nature. This is a popular orange garden for trading and export because the oranges here are considered to be of high quality, well-cared for and carefully selected, according to the slogan of Uncle Preecha, the owner of the garden, who says that they are planted with love, selected with heart, and take care of every step. You can visit the garden and buy fresh oranges straight from the tree. There is also a fern garden and many other places to take pictures. This winter, if anyone comes to visit Fang District, I would recommend it.
