After changing into our shorts and slippers, we booked a tuk tuk for the whole sunset trip from the guesthouse (US$4). Our driver is a 25 year old shy man called Songpiak (sounds like but I think wrong spelling). It's 4.00pm and we are all ready to set off.
Selling of the entrance ticket for the next day starts at 4.45pm. This ticket though it's for tomorrow, we can use it for the sunset trip today. We are buying the one day pass (US$20). The queue starts to form at 4.30pm when the ticket sellers take their place behind the counter. Even though the place is starting to get congested with tourists, the authorities refuse to start selling the tickets. So the ticket sellers and tourists stared...
While we queue, Songpiak (in green) waited together with other drivers of tuk tuks, motorcycles, cars, vans and buses for their clients.
Finally the ticket in hand...(this is Kaiyi's)
Immediately after we got our tickets, we hop onto Songpiak's tuk tuk and start to rush to the ticket checking entrance. It's like the Amazing Race where all the transportations start to race towards our destination. Must get a good place to catch the sunset.Go! Go! Go!
Finally we have arrived. Huh? Where is the sunset? "Climb to the top of the temple" said Songpiak. But where's the temple? "Walk on the dirt road up hill" offered Songpiak.
And so we started to walk in slippers... We are not the worst. Some Korean aunties wear heels... 佩服佩服。
