Cats who teach me to fly…

After a day at Doi Suthep, we checked into Mountain Greek resort. The place was difficult to find and transportation was a problem. However, the resort does provide transport service for us and we just had to pay them a small fee.

We had a cultural dinner and dance show in the evening at 7pm. Mel took some photos of our dinner, which consisted of local Chiang Mai cuisine.

Mel should have taken a close-up on the dishes :p! Never mind. There was a dish of fried pork skin which tasted like crackers. Fortunately, there was a familiar dish – fried chicken which we also have in Singapore. Other dishes included pork, raw and cooked vegetables, soup, sour chicken bits mixed with vegetable and my favourite chilli. Oh.. and their sticky rice. The fried bananas were tasty too. We had a Heineken beer to go with it.

Do you know which dish I like most? It’s their chilli. I bought a bottle home.

Mel and I ate and commented on the age of the dancers. They were all very young. We also noted that those from Northern Thailand had white rather than yellow skin and those from Southern Thailand had a darker skin tone.

I don’t know why Mel took the picture on the right. Perhaps it looked like an UFO or maybe she was testing her camera. No matter what the reasons were, it tells me these lights are from Chiang Mai.

After dinner, the dance show began. What I like most was their costumes.

There were a few dances and it all came with different types of attractive costumes.

In Thailand, there are different tribes of people. Perhaps these dances represent every one of them.
