From this pier, you will take a boat to your hotel

On this day, we arrive at the dock at about 4 o'clock in the evening, and from there we take a small boat and go down the river.
I felt like I was on a jungle cruise at Disneyland, and I was excited.

After moving along the river for about 15 minutes, I came to see the plan to stay Floating hotel!
It was a hotel floating on the water, and there seemed to be about 60 rooms in total arranged along the river.
In the middle of the room, there is a small reception, a corner where you can drink coffee, and a restaurant that you can go from there.

I don't get a smartphone signal (a SIM from a carrier called TRUE), and other people barely get in and out.
There is WIFI in the hotel, but only in a corner around the front desk.
When I went to my room, I could hardly use it, so I said goodbye to the Internet.

When I entered the room, it was still bright outside, but it was dim because there was no electricity.
It is simple with two beds (single and double), a toilet and a shower (no hot water), but it is a clean room and comfortable.
The only amenities were shampoo, body soap, and shower cap.

On this day, we had dinner at the restaurant starting at 6:30.
We had 5 or 6 dishes centered around Massaman curry (potato curry), and the taste was very delicious. This Massaman curry was particularly tasty.
We leisurely spent about two hours while drinking alcohol. Well, there wasn't much else to do...
There's nothing much, but it's a luxurious way to spend time, isn't it?

Appreciation of Hmong ethnic dance

From 8 o'clock, there was a performance of local Hmong tribal dances at the adjoining theater, so we attended.
The fee was about 100 baht (400 yen) per person, but it was interesting to have such an experience without electricity or internet.

Lanterns are lit in the hallway, but if you extinguish the nearby lantern yourself, it becomes truly pitch dark, and you can only hear the sounds of insects.
In the end, I went to bed with a mosquito net before 10 o'clock. This also had a nice atmosphere.
I slept soundly and eventually woke up around 3 a.m. lol
By the way, the hotel is above the river, so it was cool, and there was no problem without air conditioning at night. Also, There were hardly any mosquitoes I feel. Additionally, there was a mosquito net over the bed, so I felt secure when sleeping.

Since it was a rare opportunity, I stepped outside the room and found a perfectly clear starry sky.
Without any unnecessary information, I could truly relax, and in the leisurely flow of time, I felt as if I was cleansing my soul. To.
Since the internet was basically unusable, I felt Digital detox truly present, and it was a very refreshing feeling.
