Pai

Arriving to Pai, despite beautiful views, was long (4h) and somewhat tiring. Finding accommodation was easy and we ended up in the Golden Hut bungalow by the river (400bth with a fan and ensuite bathroom).
We took the rest of the day easy and just relaxed. We were lucky to get a neighbor rehearsing playing guitar and singing before his evening concert. In the evening the two town streets turned into a market with food, clothes and local articles.
On the next day we rented a scooter and drove around the area. To be honest, it was our first experience with driving a motorcycle, and it was just perfect.
Because none of us have a driving licence for a bike, the trip was half legal: the renting company didn't mind, but the local police had a right to fine us. So in case of any trouble, even the best insurance will not cover the damage
Anyway, the trip was extremely pleasuring and it is much easier to take the heat while on a motorbike :)
We went to the Pay Canyon, Memorial Bridge, several temples and two waterfalls.The second one was worth the trip. 








The way back from Pai to Ching Mai was not as easy to coming here. We were pretty late to enter the mini-bus and while sitting in the back drTbbe discovered that he can get motion sick! The driver did not care about slowing down on the serpentine road and half of the bus felt sick... The rest of this day we had to take very easy...
