Relaxing days in Pai

A little bit more to the north of Chiang Mai, there is something similar than the Paradise.

Imagine an small town of 3000 inhabitants in the mountains. The town itself can be discovered in half an hour. But, around the village, there are brilliant waterfalls, a big canyon, small villages and when the night arrives is time to start the hippie parties.

I came here with Dave (from the trekking in Chiang Mai) and here we met a lot of people that have been here for weeks. Pai is quiet, its people are very nice, too hippie sometimes... in the hostel they didn't even ask me for my name and they told me to pay at the end of my stay.

During these days I just hired a motorbike and I could discover by myself the great landscapes and sunsets in northern Thailand.

At night there was a music festival these weekend until late with several bands playing, some were thai tradicional, and later at night more rock/reaggie concerts.

Last night we ended around a fire with two argentinian guys playing guitar and chilling out. There I met more catalan and basque people...

I think I could stay here for weeks, but tonight I have to move and go to Laos. These days here in Pai were funny, but also sad. Here I had to say goodbye to many people that I've met during these last two weeks but they are going back to the south.

So tonight I take a bus that will bring me to the Laos Border, where I will take a boat during two days to get to Luang Prabang.

Here you can find different Satay, that are like a brochette of usually some meat balls or tofu! I really love it.
