This is the hillside town of Pai. It is about 3.5 hours away from Chiang Mai and this is
where we've been spending the weekend.
We are staying at the Pai Chan Cottages and this is our private little Bungalow, so let's
go have a look inside.
Hey! Come on in! This is our humble little room here. You can see we've got a nice big
size bed and mosquito net over here. Fortunately this time of the year we haven't had to be
using it very often. It's freezing at night! It is freezing so likely the mosquitoes have
all died. The best part about this place are the views. Check out this: rice fields!
Am I interrupting your nap? You're just too cute and wrinkly. Look at that little nose.
Meow meow!
We've only got a few days left here in Thailand and I've been hearing from friends raving
about Pai for years and I've always put off coming here. This time I said 'There is no
way we're going to leave Thailand without coming to Pai." Now I understand what all
of the fuss is about. This place is wonderful. It is one of the most relaxing towns I've
ever visited and we're going to show you around. You'll get to see first hand why we love it
here.
What are you doing? I couldn't be anymore relaxed than in this hammock right now. At
this rate, I don't even know if we're get into town.
One of the
main reasons people come to Pai is to just relax and totally chill out. A lot of other
destinations you go to visit temples, you go to do other types of things but here it
is just enjoying the scenery, wandering around and swinging on a hammock. Those are the top
things to do and I'm loving it so far.
We seem to have found hippy central just across the river. There is a cool little bar called
sunset bar and it can be reached via a bamboo bridge. Shall we check it out?
That was awesome! We crossed that rickety old bridge and then we came to some really
cool looking guesthouses and now we're here in the fields.
One of the draws to Pai is being able to explore the countryside. Yesterday, I rented my very
first scouter. It only cost me three dollars a day and I got a helmet with that. It was
a great way to explore. I thought it was going to be kind of tricky riding it for the first
time but it was a lot of fun. You did well didn't you? It opened up a lot of the surrounding
areas that would have been tough to reach by foot.
Aside from chilling out and relaxing in Pai one of the few things that we actually really
want to do is to take a trip over and visit the hot springs.
We're here in Pai visiting the hot springs. This is the thirty five degree pool and I'm
swinging like Tarzan. Well not exactly but I'd like to think that. Oooh Oooh Oooh!
That giant white Buddha over there is something I plan on visiting tomorrow morning when I
wake up.
I can't swing. I need an assistant to swing me. Sam, come swing me! I'm just kidding.
I'm kidding! No, Sam. Sam no! Oh, my gosh! What are you doing? Okay, I just want to get
you on the hammock. I don't want to go flying! No. Okay, just go back on and say something.
Go fetch me a drink!
