Pai in the skai!

All roads lead to Pai it seems...


So we left Chiang Mai on a whim and headed up north to Pai and it has been brilliant! Best place so far I reckons! It's a small,quiet, hippyish town and everyone is very relaxed and happy!

The Pai street! Arf!

 We arrived and after we settled in, we hired a scooter for a few days and went off adventuring with Mark and an Australian lady named Sarah!

After some initial screaming I (Jenny) got used to the scooter and we hit the dizzying speeds of 80kph - maybe faster on bendy mountains!

 Because when Matt was riding the motorbike he was obviously James Dean, we decided to name the bike Marlon Brando. On the left you can see the three of us together! What larks!














We scooted to:

Pai 'Canyon'

 Tha Pai Hot Springs! Very warm and lots of fun in the rain!



















Pam Bok Waterfall - frolics!

The Land Crack

We won't tell you what this is - you'll have to come here to find out. Needless to say, it was a MASSIVE high point in our trip!

So in one day we toured the surrounding areas checking out the local tourist attractions. We went to everywhere that was marked with a star on our free map! Pai nightlife consists of tattooists; namely Nelson who was originally from the Philippines and spoke Thai and English with a Jamaican accent, live music, jazz, free shots of nameless 'alcohol' and bars made of bamboo!

We spent the rest of the time exploring the lesser marked attractions and drove through some of the most beautiful countryside around the town.

 

  

We drove to a waterfall nearby yesterday, and it was brilliant! There were deep pools to swim in and the rocks were smooth enough to slide down...

 

  

  

 

We stayed in a really nice guesthouse with a pool and hammocks and bungalows. Ours looked out onto a paddy field!

Now sadly its time for us to leave Pai, so see you in Laos!
