... went off the beaten track and cruised through a few small basic villages, the kind I was a little surprised to find in Thailand. We rode through rice fields where locals were working hard harvesting the rice. Eventually we found an Eco-resort ...
Cost of living
... 300 B / £6 Drinks, day & night- 300B / £6 Essentials (loads of moisturiser) - 50 B / £1 Total 1200 B / £24 It's possible to live on much less, but I've budgeted £30 a day in Thailand. Including activities and traveling, I'm just under my ...
Tris gets a "Thai tatoo"
... few people with dreadlocks. There were funny stickers and shirts that simply stated "Hippies Smell". Since everybody in Thailand rides a motorbike (scooter), we decided it was time to give the Tuk-Tuk drivers a rest and explore on our ...
Everyday is Sunday
... more people up???? Danger is not the word with the roads being like roller coasters, a white knuckle ride springs to mind. Pai is not a commercial place at all and is so friendly you wouldn't believe it. Everyone knows everyone and people just sit and ...
Elephant Ride
Jeremy finally finished his internship and had a bit of time to travel, so he and Dane met us in Pai. One of things Jackie and Jeremy were eager to do was ride an elephant. It started off in a none-too-dull way. ...
Apple Pai with Skippy
... bungalow with a nice view of the river. It was perfect until we sat on the bed and realised it was rock hard! Pai is a very sleepy kind of hippie town, with loads of little market stalls and shops. The first night we wandered the markets and ...
You can have your cake and eat it too - Pai
... wonder the country is dubbed "the land of smiles". Because it is high in the mountains, and also to the very north of Thailand, Pai was very cold by night. Really unexpected after enjoying the heat on the islands downn south. Our little bamboo hut ...
Return to Chaing Mai
... the hillside which had a spectacular array of flowers that were so colorful and in full bloom. The highest point in Thailand was pretty uneventful itself since you basically drive all the way to the top. There was a nice nature trail ...
Pai
... found herself in a bush at one point and got attacked by a massive spider! The next day we made a last minute decision to leave Pai and travel down the country to Koh Phangan as we had been told we hadn't left enough time to get there for the full moon ...

Regen und Hippies in Pai
... nach Laos, aber da wir die Malaria Vorsorge Medizin eine Woche vorher nehmen mussten sind wir noch ein paar Tage nach Pai gefahren. Hat sich echt gelohnt, Pai ist eine kleine gemuetliche Hippie Stadt mitten in einer echt genialen Landschaft. Wir ham uns ...
Mae Hong Son Loop and back to chiang mai!
... for a walk thru the woods and they were everywhere covering the trees and ground! So the road went on to Pai. Now Pai is a very odd place in Thailand, it is kinda a traveller's mecca. It is totally un Thai, and seems to attract artists, musicians and a ...
Cooking class and swimming with elephants!
From Chiang Rai we had a comfy 3 hr public bus trip south to Chiang Mai, the main city in Northern Thailand. It's bustly and modern but still retains a lot of its old city charm, like moats and stone gates and remains of city walls. The Chiang Mai ...

Life of Pai
... was that it was a kind of tropical bird so we did some solid internet research by typing into Google, 'Annoying bird noise, Northern Thailand' Little did we realise it was a bloody Gecko all along! (Tokay Gecko for the lizard lovers out there) If it ...
don't worry, be hippie
... , I was as quick as a shot jumping into the coveted front seats of the mini-bus. Suckers! "The hippy trail ends in Pai" says our Lonely Planet...indeed it does. This is a tiny town on a river surrounded by gorgeous mountains that is certainly ...
You take the Pai Road (and I'll use the bathroom)
There's a place close to the Burmese border that's built something of a reputation in Northern Thailand. Pai, a small picturesque town is meant to be a great place to do nothing. That's us then. In the minibus, we were at the back again ...
Do Nothing In Pai
... . The scenery was incredible and we were even able to hold off the rain for most of the trip. The pics of the Pai Treehouse are taken at a "resort" where you can actually rent out the treehouse for the night. We didn't find this until our ...
Nice as Pai
... was covered in litter and the other because as it's the dry season the fall completely lacked one essential component - water. The Pai canyon was more impressive - a 20m deep valley set in a scenic pineforest. Our final stop was at the Pai Hot springs. ...
Life of Pai
... guesthouse, same price but with the luxury of a fridge, dvd, tv, swimming pool.... an absolute bargain!!! Our final night in pai consisted of a second damn gd meal (Masaman curry, mmmm) at a bar called mellow yellow which was basically designed as a real ...
Cow sheds, opium dens and a military coup!!
... on the TV, there's not much sign of anything out of the ordinary up here in the North. Apparently one of Thailand's largest military barracks is here in Pai though, so there may well be convoys of tanks and soldiers heading out of town soon - depending on ...
That's more like it
... exhausting with the incredibly long bus journeys, and now we feel in need of a little chill out time. We're currently in Pai, staying in a gorgeous bungalow in the valley, doing yoga, and (as you'll notice from the number of updates you've just ...
holiday in pai anyone?
... the lovely john from the natwest fraud squad?! he said that their job was to detect my card so while withdrawals from thailand and laos etc seemed odd in comparison to transactions in argos and asda, southampton, i would basically continue to receive the ...
Rafting and Jungle Trekking
... It was crazy beyond belief!! It was ok at the start, just drove 1.5 hours to river, even though theres a massive one going through Pai. Got a safety talk and then me, shane, the instructor and a Canadian guy ( John) just get straight in the raft and head ...
The Life of Pai
... can peruse at leisure. Around 4pm, when it starts to cool down, head out on the scooter to explore the mountains - around Pai there are hot springs, waterfalls, a canyon, and several Buddhist temples. Pai canyon and Pai tree house resorts are lovely ...
Wat Tam Wua
... want for free - the place runs on donations and government funding I would imagine (the abbot is a pretty important person in Thailand from what I understand). You're supposed to wear as much white as possible and keep talking to a minimum. ...
James' House
... The kid was the happiest kid I've ever seen - probably from all the attention she gets from being a half white baby in Thailand. After shopping at the market and hanging out in Pai with James and his family, I spent the night ...
