During the flight from Bangkok to Chiangmai,operating by my favorite Bangkok Airways, I found the cheap rental car deal!!. Hertz rental car's staff informed me that the 199 baht/day deal was provided to 20 customers per month at every branch, except Bangkok.A customer will get this special price for 2 days. If the customer wants to extend the period with the same care, the customer will get the special price. But the reservation must be made by telephone
and the reservation (in case of vacancy) and payment must be done at that point. Budget rental care also has the similar condition. I managed rent 4 days from Hertz then switch to Budget for another 3 days. From now , I know I have to call and ask for a special deal and discount at the call center as I can get the better and special price. For AVIS Thailand, I decided to forget it as its car was very old , dirty and has so many crash/accidental experiences that I am worried of my safety.

From Chiangmai Airport, I went to see a fruit garden in Pasang District, Lamphun. There were serval fruits. The product of the garden is different seasonally . I went there in May, so I got grape.
People came with their friends and family. It is very nice garden, especially the owner. I wonder how they could plant grape in the high temperature (35 to 40 decree). The owner told me he worked at the Thai King's Royal Project. He made the garden according the knowledge and skill he got from the Royal Project.
I went to have lunch at my friend's home. She gave me a plastic bag. She told me these bugs costed 5,000 baht/ kg. It used to be food for poor people. Now , it is upgraded to be for rich. We call it Mang Mun (แมงมัน ) , referring to its oily and delicious taste. Imagine in the same way of how some people eat grass hoppers or any other kinds of bugs. This kind of bugs is organic and free of chemical toxin. They are born in the clean natural area. Don't forget to try it, if you can.
I saw a tidy pile of wood. They told me it was a mushroom's. It is very rare to find this kind of mushroom now. My friend told me he got it from Maejo University. in Chiangmai. The very famous agricultural science in Thailand. Its policy is to provide knowledge and support to every people without taking profit. I know many people who gets and gains knowledge and skill from this university.
Before saying good bye, my friend gave me these bamboo shoots. So wonderful.
