Pai

Pai here we go!




Small cafes along the way!








Good bye Pai, till next time!

Pai is the next destination after the trekking and home stay with Lahu tribe. Pai is a small 'hippie' town located at east of Chiang Mai, feels like Yogyakarta in small scale, it was about three hours journey from Chiang Mai to Pai with amazing scenery and fresh air along the way. There are a lot of place to stop along the way from Chiang Mai to Pai, one of the interesting place is La Vintage, it is a resort and small cafe with French style. The drinks are expensive (about 80B per drinks) and it was not special but it is a good place to drop by and have a look.

When I reached Pai, I was excited to stroll around the town. It is full of arty crafty stuffs and interesting people. Pai is quite expensive for a small town, it's better to booked the accommodation in advance. Foreigners are all over the town and hardly to see the local people. There is a small restaurant behind the police station called Na's kitchen, I read it sells a good food but too bad when we were there the restaurant closed for two days.

I would come back to Pai again to try Na's food!
