Pai, Thailand

---

Pai, pronounced "bye". Northwest Thailand. James & I decided to move on to Pai when Christine chose to stay at the elephant sanctuaryfor an entire week. Three hours through the mountains from Chiang Mai, Pai is a small town. A lot of people come here to treck in to the hill tribes that surround the town. We once again opted to get motorbikes and explore the area ourselves rather than join a standard tour. We met Paul from Holland on the mini-van ride to Pai and he joined us for a couple of the rides.
The area is great; surrounded by hills with well paved roads, you can ride through some of the best scenery I've ever seen for hours and hours. There are waterfalls, canyons, hot springs, farms, temples, etc.
There were two girls from Germany, Leah and Esther, staying in the room next to ours. They were a lot of fun and we hung out the two nights they were in town.
