Looking forward to going back home to Singapore, we woke up very fresh & happy today, cos our flight home is at 6pm this evening. YES YES, we’ll still be going home as planned & not be affected by the current PAD Protests going on in other parts of Thailand, cos as at yesterday, we’d already managed to log in & confirm our flight seats!! Hoorays Long Live the King!! Long Live the King!!
And being our last day staying in Holiday Inn Chiang Mai, we’re now in its lovely River Terrace Restaurant for our breakfast - seen here inside River Terrace is a beautiful huge wooden Elephant carving made up of many big & small “Jumbos” :
And some kind of tall straight “Spring Onions-looking” plants deco - lovely :

I am truly impressed with your enthusiam in sharing your touring experience with web surfers. I am going to stay in the same hotel as you did in Chiangmai in a fortnight’s time. The breakfast served there is gorgeos, but how it did it cost you per person? My room rate is not going to include a breakfast.
Many thanks for your thoughtfulness in providing such useful highly illustrative information to us all, prospective visitors to Northern Thailand or otherwise.
Hi Nelson,
Thank you so much for your most beautiful comments!
Yes, I’m most attracted to its lovely Breakfast - the cost per double/twin room for me then was $81 Singapore dollars, inclusive of 2 Breakfasts - which was a real good deal! I’m going back there again for 2 nights’ stay in mid Oct :)))
Well, I hope your have a great time & loads of fun in the Hotel & Chiang Mai - Enjoy!
Lastly, I must thank you once again for your most wonderful compliments - I sure hope most Web surfers out there think likewise heheh!!
I’m truely glad you appreciate my site, & it’s been my utmost pleasure in sharing with all!
