Where do you go to weigh a pie?
Entry 20 of 52 | show all | print this entry |
After 3 days in Bankok, visiting floating market, doing river journeys just to get around the city to embassy and the like, visitng the temple of the emerald buddha and all the other palatial buildings in the complex, I got my Visa for Vietnam so booked the overnight bus on the 2nd to Chiang Mai in the north of Thailand.
Having arrived quite early in the morning, I didn't feel like chasing around the town to find a guesthouse; reports were that its mostly a nightlife town for live music and a staging post for going on elephant trecking tours, which I wasn't going to get time to do. So I headed for the bus station and got on the midday bus to a smaller town 3 hrs north by road, called Pai. (pronounced same as the apple or rhubarb ones you can eat).
It is a lovely little town, though heavily leaning towards tourists, but good bars, excellent food, live music just outside the town, hence peaceful enough if you want a good night's rest in the guest houses in the town centre.
Elephant rides, water rafting, bamboo rafting, off-roader quad bikes, some nearby temples, and hot springs (if you have a motorbike) all on offer.
Just right for 2 or 3 days.
oh, as for the question, where do you go to weigh a PAI? - doo,dee doo, doo, "somewhere, over a rainbow,, ...... ..... ......." (fill in the next line of the song!)
