Chiang Mai of Thailand

To be frank, Chiang Mai has always been my favorite city.

It was February 3, 2018 and China Southern Airlines again did not disappoint me with a delay of flight. I was scheduled to arrive a bit after lunch but was not there until rush hour after work.

As the airport was not far away from the place where I was going to stay, I jumped on a taxi as soon as I got out of the airport. I switched sim card in the car and was almost there when I got off the call back home. I got off the taxi and took my luggage.

I was very much astonished when I found my phone missing as I was checking in with details stored in it. I searched every pocket and my backpack, and it was still nowhere to be found. I came to a sudden realization that I must have left the phone on the taxi. So I decided to call my own phone. But before that I will have to get my own number first. It took quite a while before my mom send my correct Thailand number. So I made a call and the taxi driver quickly picked up.

He was very kind to offer to take my phone back, but it was rush hour and he was heading back home some distance away so he would have to do that on the second morning — yet I really need my phone because otherwise I would not even be able to check in. He was so nice that on hearing my explanation, he agreed to take back my phone right away.

And that started my super-nice week in Chiang Mai!
