Chiang Mai...

Malaysia's MATTA fair, which is just last weekend if I'm not mistaken.. S'pore has one too...it's called NATAS fair (I forgot what it's stands for?? ) The entry fee is S$3 damn expensive it's like RM6++ leh...
Went NATAS fair to book ground arrangement for my CHIANG MAI trip...this trip is giving me helluva problem..

1. Thought of self travel but don't want the trouble to manage the "FRIENDS" - there are 6 of us !!
2. Thought of taking the package from my fren, who quoted me RM395 for 4d3n package and rm595 for 5d4n There's this bl**dy expensive gala dinner which is compulsory for new year's eve.
3. Called up another travel agent, who quoted rm400 for 5d4n for 2* star hotel, free elephant ride (all bullsh*t la).. thought this is good deal so we booked. Stupid agent called back said no more rooms (%^&#@ !!) ..
4. Bargain with my fren on his rm595 package, so he said the best he can get for me is rm490, free dunno what thai king dinner and cultural show.
5. "Beloved fren" went Bangkok and will be back later today so he's only contactable on Monday.
6. I initiated this trip and was very worried if cannot book hotel.. End up at NATAS fair, and THANK GOD found a good deal, S$192 for 5d4n at 3* hotel, Hope they won't call on Monday and tell me the hotel is fully booked again !!!!
   

I thought this trip should just cost around RM300.....but it's new year's eve sure got surcharge but didn't expect it would goes up to RM500..................*sigh*

Lesson learnt:- " Don't get tempted by cheap airfares !! "
