Chapter 128: Songkran
Since he knew that he was going to go abroad in advance, Xiao Wang began to count the days day by day, and by the way, he made up all kinds of knowledge on the Internet.
Well, wow, one piece of RB is equal to five baht? I'm very proud!
The climate is hot, so bring your summer clothes and slippers? No problem!
The Thai people believe that there are gods on their heads, so they must not touch other people's heads...... Well, you can't touch it anywhere else, and you'll definitely be beaten up......
Around the 10th, the list of expeditions was finally determined: the event was personally led by the technical director Li Dian, and the members included the provincial TV camera crew, He Jiajia's team, and the pre-league working group, including the club's two coaches, two sparring partners, two assistants, a team doctor, a translator, an iron buddy Hou Chao, and two card-raising girls. After all, it belongs to the host partner, and it is responsible for publicity and broadcasting, so the formation is a little bigger.
Finally, God favors him, Wang's luck is not bad, and the candidate he was looking forward to finally surfaced, "Little Pepper" Qiu Di is impressively listed, and the other is a familiar cute girl!
Wang Jin is an atheist, but when the list was announced, he burst into tears and almost clasped his palms together and shouted "Amitabha".
To tell the truth, as a young athlete, he has very little time at his disposal now, basically staying in the gym every day to train, and wants to go out to pick up girls? Want to get in touch with the opposite sex? It was a pure dream. Now that you can go abroad with the girl you like, everyone is not familiar with the place, so theoretically there will naturally be more opportunities for contact, hehe......
When the list was announced, Mr. Li summoned everyone to the office for a short meeting, the main content of which was to pay attention to discipline and safety outside, and not to run around casually.
Wang Jin's left ear went in and out of his right ear, completely absent-minded, he stared directly at Qiu Di opposite, his eyes were as hot as magma. How could Miss Qiu not feel it, she was full of black lines, and silently gestured her small fist, but unfortunately someone was still unscrupulous, and her face was really thick.
After the meeting, everyone couldn't sit still, and they all gathered around to pull Jiang Xingchen, and you asked about the situation word by word.
Lao Jiang hugged his arms and said triumphantly: "I have been to Thailand several times, and it is generally very good, especially suitable for travel, and I personally feel that the price is not expensive." For example, some cosmetics are only one-third of our domestic price, and jeans are only a few dozen yuan a piece. Plus, they have a lot of fruit and freshly squeezed juices, so you'll want a bottle after you've got it......"
Someone yelled and asked, "Is Thai food delicious?" ”
Jiang Xingchen thought about it and said: "Let's see what happens, Thai food is either sour, sweet, or spicy, I don't think it's as delicious as Chinese food." ”
Another buddy chimed in: "Is there anything else in particular that is worth experiencing?" ”
Jiang Xingchen grinned: "Massage!" ”
"Hey, hey!" "Phew!"
Hearing this word, the male compatriots collectively showed a lewd smile, and the girls raised their eyebrows and condemned them repeatedly.
Jiang Xingchen laughed and said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about the regular kind, they have a lot of open-air leg massages, which are energetic and refreshing, and can best relieve fatigue." ”
I don't know who whispered: "What else does it mean to be regular?" ”
……
The gossip that Jiang Xingchen heard was that they set off on the thirteenth, but in fact, they left ahead of schedule on the twelfth, and everyone was elated, starting a new journey to a foreign country.
After nearly four hours of flying, the team finally landed safely at Chiang Mai Airport.
The weather was sunny and it was around 12 noon.
Wang Jin wore a sunhat and a floral shirt, and followed his partners out. Well, the first feeling is that the sky is very blue, just like his hometown when he was a child; The second feeling is very hot, and it is estimated that the temperature must be 345 degrees.
After all, it was a foreign country, and everyone quickly experienced a very new means of transportation - songthaews.
It seems that there are no public transportation in Chiang Mai, and the more popular three-wheeled "tuk-tuk", as well as this kind of thing modified with pickup trucks, this thing has a roof, and there are two rows of seats inside, with a good line of sight and large space, which is really the first choice for sightseeing.
The "decoration" of the songthaew is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, maybe blame them for the random selection of "relatively simple", watching everyone excitedly cut the price and step up, Wang put aside the corner of his head and eyes, why is this thing so like a small car used to drag pigs in the countryside? Even the fence is exactly the same!
"Chiang Mai is the second largest city in Thailand, second only to Bangkok, and is the political, economic and cultural center of northern Thailand......
"Hey, there's a monk over there!"
"It should be called a monk."
"Well, the streets are not wide, but they are clean!"
"Look, they're driving on the left! Lots of ...... motorbikes"
Everyone was chatting, Wang Jin had his own feelings: the buildings along the road in Chiang Mai are generally low, but they are prosperous, although the road is full of traffic, but the traffic conditions are unexpectedly good, and the vehicles will take the initiative to give way when pedestrians pass by, and there is no urging horn, which is extremely rare. In addition, another feature of Chiang Mai is "eye-catching", their whitewash style seems to be extremely bold, no matter the sign, house, shop, you can see red, rhubarb, green, pink and other "gaudy" colors everywhere, which is ridiculous.
Their hotel is the "House of the Palms" in the Old Town, located on the pedestrian street near the Three Kings Monument, a short distance from the airport.
When crossing a street, Jiang Xingchen suddenly reminded: "You guys put your mobile phone backpack and everything in a plastic bag to prevent it from being splashed with water!" ”
The girl who held the card said cutely: "Huh? I remember Songkran tomorrow? ”
Jiang Xingchen said: "It's hard to say, many people like to celebrate in advance!" ”
Meng Meng said: "Well, be prepared......
Songkran, also known as Songkran Festival, is a major solar term at the beginning of the Thai Lunar New Year and one of the most important traditional festivals, which normally lasts for three days after the 13th. On this day, people will "wash away dirt, evil, and sin" with the act of pouring water on each other and pray for purity and happiness tomorrow.
The Songkran Festival has become Thailand's most eye-catching business card to the outside world, attracting a large number of tourists to come and participate in sightseeing at this time, which greatly drives the country's tourism industry.
Wang Jin laughed and said, "Songkran? I wanted to see ......."
As soon as the words fell, the songthaews just turned onto the pedestrian street!
"Whoa!"
"Ah......h
"Damn!"
A large bucket of water fell from the sky and suddenly spilled into the car! Everyone was caught off guard and tore their throats and screamed!
Wang Jin of the soup chicken is the first to be recruited, lying in the groove, it is actually ice water, so cool!
This is nothing, scoops of clear water attacked one after another, and countless tourists surrounded them in an instant, blacks, yellows, whites, men, women, men and women, all of them held water guns of various sizes in their hands and fired indiscriminately, shooting wildly at every little friend......
Splashing water is a good blessing, no one can be angry, everyone has to laugh and laugh to protect their heads and faces, and exclaim again and again!
It's soaked everywhere, and the entire pedestrian street has turned into a world of water!
Some people are singing and dancing, some people are changing their costumes, there are happy tourists everywhere, and there are bright smiling faces everywhere! Motorcyclists rode while pumping water and sneaked up, pickup trucks dragged large buckets through the city, and businesses on both sides of the street picked up water pipes and sprayed them into the sky......
Chiang Mai, an ancient city with a long history and culture, is welcoming this group of Chinese tourists in its own unique way.
"Giggle......
Xiao Wang quickly turned his face, and for the first time he saw Miss Qiu Di smiling so happily and brightly, as if she had lost something, and as if she had released her true self.
Wang Jin couldn't help but be stunned......
