Pai Thursday, July 17 and Friday, July 18 were Buddhist holidays so that gave us a four day weekend!! This was our first chance to really take a trip out of Chiang Mai. We had heard good things about a small town about 130 kilometers northwest of us called Pai so we went. Until about five years ago Pai was one of the best kept secrets in Northern Thailand. It attracted a bunch of foreigners who ... Read Full Entry

We are Claire and Brian. We are awesome. If you know us, a small piece of your heart is forever content. If you do not, there is a yearning deep inside you that will be one day be abated should you be lucky enough to know us. Anyways, we have been living abroad and teaching English for about fourteen months now (as of June 09). We started in Thailand. Now we are in Taiwan. Read about it if you'd like. We've been lucky with our jobs and the great people we have met along the way. We've had some opportunities to travel. We usually get a blog or two up about our travels. We'll be in Taiwan for... full info

Heading Down to the Waterfall

The first waterfall visited

Claire Crossing Over

The four idiots...

who went swimming. We had the most fun though.

Self Portriat

We're in the waterfall. It was fun. We didn't get any leeches on us.

Rice Paddies

Pambok Waterfall

It's not much but it was fun.

Second Waterfall

I don't remember what it was called. No one swam in this one cause the water was really cold and we just learned that riding a motorbike wet makes you cold. It was nice to be cold though. It doesn't happen much in Thailand.

Villagers

On the way to the waterfall. At one point some women and children were making smoking gestures as we drove by. They likely wanted to sell us opium or pot. Opium is still around here. Also, Burma is close and they smuggle a lot of drugs across the border. We didn't stop.

nice scenery

A title is required...

is what the computer told me as I was just trying to hurry up and put pictures up.

No more road

farmland

Lots of Green Around Here

Traveling food vendor

these are everywhere in Thailand. It's really quite a good idea. Food comes to you.

Ting Tong

It means crazy in Thai. I think some people use it as a racial slur...I don't think in the US though. Anyways this place was pretty cool. It was all open air, which impresses people who grow up in a place with crap weather. When you've lived in California for a long time it doesn't strike you as much.

This guy likes to play with fire

and it made everything smell like lighter fluid. Fun

National Park

On the way back we stopped at this national park that was really beautiful. We were looking for a waterfall but ended up taking a bunch of pictures of us jumping...you'll see.

I LOVE the jumping pictures............... They say that once you've tasted termites there is no going back, they are so delicious!
