I went to Thailand last month with my mother and we went there for one week. We visited two places: Phuket and Chiang Mai. I like Phuket better because there was a beautiful sea in Phuket and I really liked the seafood. In Phuket the seafood is really fresh and cheap. I ate prawns everyday. But Phuket was really hot and we stayed in a really nice hotel. We just stayed in the hotel for three days. It was really relaxed. I want to go to Phuket again.
Chiang Mai is a city and there is no sea but there are some mountains. There is also some seafood in Chiang Mai and Chiang Mai’s noodles are really nice. We played a game in Chiang Mai, we were like monkeys jumping from one tree to another. It was really exciting.
Actually it was a really busy trip because before I went to the airport I still worked and I had no plan about where we go, where we eat and where we play. Then we arrived in Chiang Mai and I searched something on my phone, like which place is better, what food is delicious. My mother and I hoped this trip would be a relaxing and slow trip. We were tired and we found a coffee shop and drank some coffee, had a talk and we went to another place and had some food and hung out. Everything for us was relaxing. I liked to listen to the sea voice in Phuket and the weather was really beautiful. I could stay in the seaside, just stay there and do nothing, stay there for one day and just listen to the sea voice. But in fact if I go to Phuket once again I’d better go there alone.
