I was thinking, hoping and looking forward to being in this hot spring in winter time. But as I told you, it wasn't cold. Disappointed! But it wasn't hot either. Pai hot spring is 8 kilometers far from the center of Pai. I don't recommend to walk but if you want, it's alright. It was really q…

People i met here who contributed to, and improved my trip: Julia (Russia), Mam (Thailand), Jack (Wales), Mon (Thailand)

Have returned from a wonderful if painful trip through the northern mountains of Thailand, almost as far up as the Burmese border... We ended up with a group of about six, including two guides from the province and spent three fantastic days roaming through the jungle. Day one we left the comfort…

The next morning, the Aussies and I went on an all-day hike in the hills around the cave lodge. Our guide, a lady who worked at the lodge, pointed out lots of native plants and explained about local life in the hills. Unfortunately, I wasn't halfway up the first hill when my crappi…

DAY 1 I had to get up at 8am to book the mini bus to Pai for 9.30 but as usual I didn’t want to get up at all. It’s the coolest time of the day to sleep in the morning, so its always annoying to get up. The journey to Pai was pretty horrible to be honest,sooo many twists and turns through alb…

Life in Pai is simple.  When I got here, I kept asking what all the fuss was about - why does EVERYONE throughout Thailand want to go to Pai?  It just seemed like a small village in the countryside along a river and surrounded by hills.  And, it was just that.  So, when I a…

Our journey from Chiang Mai to Pai was a little hairy - a small mini buses taking hairpin turns at seemingly unfeasible speeds left our tummies a little worse for wear. After 4hrs we arrived in Pai, a small rural town nestling on the banks of a small river - there is even a cute little bamboo …

Here's a contrast for you. Two towns in northern Thailand, as touristy as they come, but the atmoshere when I got off the bus couldn't have been a lot different from Chiang Mai. It was chilled out, which is praise indeed coming from a miserable mardy bastard like me. I took a room on the other side…

I decided to move to Thailand on my own for 3 months past summer... This was definitely the best decision I made in my whole life :) Next trip, Asia, starting September 09'

So, im nearly 30 and have finally decided to give up everything and go travelling.... When i say "give up" what i actaully mean is ive decided to follow my heart instead of my head. So, for the first time here i am.. stripped of everything i know on an adventure into my unknown

Had a fun few days in a little town called Pai, a few hours north of Chiang Mai. Unbeknown to us before we set off, there was a reggae festival on and we turned up at the worst possible time to find a room. The tiny little tent cost us 350bht!

Nous sommes a Pai. C'est un petit village plutot populaire pour son cote ultra relax. C'est petit, c'est plein de touristes bohemes et il n'y a pas grand chose a y faire. Et c'est parfait ainsi. On se croirait quelque part dans les laurentides. C'est montagneux, le paysage est luxuriant et la chal…

Well, there was no accomodation to be had in Chiang Dao and since I was considering coming to Pai anyway, here I am! Mark, Lorna and Kylie who I met at the Green Tulip have been here a week so I'm staying at the same place, in a little hut by the river. It's a little place with huts and teepees run…
