October 28th, 2005 - Oh Pai How Lovely Art Thou!
One of the waterfalls in Pai
I am in Northern Thailand in the town of Pai, and it is absolutely lovely. My favorite place so far.
For one, it is nestled in the mountains, so not only is there beautiful scenery, but also a mild climate, not nearly as hot as down south! It is about the size of.... i dunno port alice maybe... about 2000 people. There is so much to do!
We hired motor bikes yesterday... i nearly killed myself but once i got used to it it was great. A lot of fun. Rode around and went to a waterfall. There are also hot springs here, and loads of other waterfalls. Lots of places to go mountain biking and treking and we are even gonna do an elephant ride!
We have been here for about 3 nights, and have no plans of leaving anytime soon. Maybe in about a week...
One ity bity bad thing about this place is the amount of drugs. You can't walk far without a local (even a local child) offering you opium and ganja. Isn't opium the active incredient in heroin??
Anyways i must go eddie is sat over my shoulder complaining he is hungry. Goodbye for now!
