Days 109-110 -- Pai

So Pai...not really much to say about this place. A very hippy oriented laid back community in Norther Thailand. Most of the people we've talked to have been here for weeks and can't really justify what they've done. I think everyone is just really glad to leave the hustle of the big cities like Bangkok or are tired from all the trekking around SE Asia and once they get here they get trapped. Can't happen to us since we have a timetable to keep.

The bus ride from Pai might rank up worse than the train ride. Going through all the hills and there were about 673+ turns or at least it felt like that at 8:30AM after staying out until the early hours of the morning. Did somebody say motion sickness??

Once we got here we also just relaxed. Such a small place that we ran into several different groups of people that we've come across in Bangkok and Chiang Mai...funny how everyone has the same route. Checked out the city Day 1 and on Day 2 we went exploring to a couple of different waterfalls...I'm really enjoying the slow pace of how things are done here, but we're trying to continue on and not get trapped so its back to Chiang Mai in the morning...not before a night out to see the nightlife. This time we know about the tough roads so it won't be such a big night...
