Tao Liangchen
Chapter 339 Lazy and Leisurely Vacation
In order to eat more, they often shared one snack between the three of them.
Linda Yun, the live-in assistant accompanying them on their shopping trips, also got in on the fun, looking here and there, eating until she was hiccuping.
Not only were they busy stuffing themselves, but they also bought a pile of almost useless trinkets, and Su Yehao's outfit was changed as well, into floral shorts, a floral shirt, and a pair of flip-flops.
He transformed from a tourist into someone who looked almost like a local, and because of his decent looks, many local girls stared at Su Yehao.
Of course, it could also have been men dressed as girls.
Everyone around them was speaking Thai, and many stalls were crowded. There were even foreigners who thought too highly of themselves and tried to flirt with Nangong Tian, only to be pulled aside by Su Yehao's bodyguard and given a stern lecture.
The environment was chaotic, and the novelty quickly wore off after they filled their stomachs.
At a little past eight in the evening, on the way to the hotel, Su Yehao was feeling regretful as he said, "The macaw at the fruit stall only costs two thousand U.S. dollars. I almost impulsively bought it and brought it home to raise. It would be interesting."
"You mean that big bird that the owner uses to attract customers? If you want to buy it, just buy it. Or should we go back now?"
Nangong Tian said immediately.
The money didn't matter; it was only two thousand U.S. dollars. Being happy was the most important thing. Anyway, it wasn't like they didn't have room at home. Their huge yard was big enough to raise whales, or even elephants.
Su Yehao looked at her and said helplessly, "But the parrots in Thailand all speak Thai. Even though it's fluent, I can't understand a word of its bird language. What's the point of that? Forget it, I'll look for one next time, and raise it from a baby bird."
"Oh, Brother Hao, your birthday is coming up soon. I'll have Jiang Yu give you a macaw then."
As soon as the little girl finished speaking, Jiang Yu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked confused and wondered, "Why should I give it to him? What did I do to deserve having to search the streets for a bird for him?"
The little girl replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "You're always saying you feel bad for living here for free, so this is a good opportunity to show your appreciation. Of course, I have a better gift in mind, so I'm not giving Brother Hao a parrot."
Su Yehao didn't care about birthdays. As he got older, there was nothing worth celebrating.
However.
When he heard that he could receive a gift, he was still a little curious, and asked Nangong Tian, "Have you picked out a gift for me?"
"Well… I'm not going to tell you. You'll know on your birthday. Will you be eating with us then, or do your family members have other plans?"
"I haven't said yet. It's my twentieth birthday, so there won't be a big celebration. At most, my family will have a meal together. I can bring you along."
Su Yehao calculated the days. Today was June 25th, and there were only ten days left until his birthday on July 7th.
His second twentieth birthday in life. In the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed since the accident...
At the Four Seasons Hotel in Bangkok, after a simple check-in, they went to their rooms.
Converted to Hong Kong dollars, the suite Su Yehao was staying in cost two thousand two hundred dollars a night, which was actually a pretty good deal.
At the Four Seasons Hotel in Hong Kong, the same size suite would cost at least twice as much.
Including the bodyguards and secretary, they booked five rooms at once. The room fees and deposits were paid by Linda Yun, and the money for the car rental was also settled with the two tour guides.
They agreed to meet for breakfast the next morning before heading out to visit the Grand Palace, and then each went back to their rooms to rest.
…
The Grand Palace is located next to the Chao Phraya River, where the Thai royal family lives.
Last year, during his study abroad trip to London, he also visited Buckingham Palace, where the British Queen lived. He had to say that both of them were definitely super-rich, as were those white-robed oil tycoons in the Middle East.
After visiting the magnificent Thai palace, they went to a high-end restaurant in Chinatown for seafood at noon.
Arriving at this place, Su Yehao felt like there was a case to investigate, and the classic line "I have sworn to never coexist with gambling and drugs" echoed in his head.
There were many Chinese people all over the world, and they also liked to live together. Famous cities all had Chinatowns, which integrated local cultural characteristics, making it interesting to walk around and explore.

They departed in the afternoon.
They decided on a whim to fly to Krabi, but there weren't enough seats on the private jet, so they only brought the female tour guide, Li Meisha.
In fact, the male tour guide, Duan Wenyong, also wanted to go, mainly because he had never been on a private jet before and wanted to experience the life of the rich. But Su Yehao didn't give him the chance, and gave Duan Wenyong a tip of five hundred U.S. dollars when he left, guessing that he would probably go straight to Hong Kong after the trip and wouldn't return to Bangkok.
The scenery in Krabi, Thailand, was definitely amazing.
It was summer, and the seawater sparkled like jelly under the sunlight.
It was too hot this season, so there weren't many tourists. They checked into a newly opened resort, and even during lunchtime, the restaurant was empty.
Just like Nangong Tian's mother, who had traveled all the way to Singapore to invest in a resort on the beach, this resort on Krabi beach was also built with foreign investment. Judging from the style, it seemed to be built by Japanese people who were living well, because the ukiyo-e paintings in the rooms were very distinctive, and the beds were also tatami mats.
The resort wasn't high-end, but it was newly opened, so everything was new.
Compared to the old, luxurious hotels, these newly opened hotels were actually more comfortable to stay in.
They weren't in a hurry to go anywhere, just enjoying their stay.
Whenever they wanted to go out, they would have Li Meisha arrange it, going to eat and drink nearby, and walking on the beach, sunbathing.
Actually, compared to the sea view they often saw, Nangong Tian and Jiang Yu in their bikinis were the real scenery in Su Yehao's eyes, but unfortunately, he didn't get the chance to help them apply sunscreen.
After staying in Krabi for two days, the next stop was the nearby Phi Phi Island.
Having chartered a small yacht in advance, Su Yehao personally drove the boat with the captain's assistance. Since they were at sea, he didn't have to worry about hitting anyone.
Having had experience driving speedboats before, it wasn't too difficult, and was similar to driving a car.
The pace of life on the sunny, leisurely islands was always so slow, making people lazy without realizing it.
Compared to the Thai islands, Hawaii, which he had visited before, felt more like a pure American city, except that it happened to be on an island.
They went canoeing, snorkeling, catching lobsters, and hiking to enjoy the view. They spent their days on Phi Phi Island and then went to Phuket at night to continue enjoying the food at the night market.
After traveling all this way, they were really tired.
After discussing it with the little girl and Jiang Yu, they happily decided to rest on Phuket Island for three days and then go straight back to Hong Kong.
They didn't have to think about where to go next, and could just find fun on the island.
They had coffee at a cafe run by Hungarians, and listened to rock music at a bar run by Malaysians.
The little girl liked to go into the sea to see the fish, but Su Yehao preferred to go out with the fishermen to set shrimp traps near the shore, waiting to harvest delicious food the next day.
It was rare to be out for so many days, but he didn't feel impatient. But after the day they had to check out, they happily decided to go home...
