After brousing around Pai's undercover market, (which seems to only sell candy floss and pyjamas!?!?) we took a trip on Nelson (our honda 125cc beast) 11km out of Pai to see Pai's Canyon. Wow what a view you get from up there!!!
Rik was brave and venture out onto the thin ridge which had sheer hundred foot drops on either side. I on the other hand stayed FIRMLY on land...Heights = Not my friend!!!
Even though its still scorching in the day, the whether up here in Pai has started to get cooler in the evenings. The locals reckon it two weeks time you'll need a hoodie and jeans at night!
We have been debating whether to ride on motorbikes back to Chang Mai just to experiance the pure awesome-ness of the mountainous, curvy roads and scenary in-between the two towns. Its not so fun when your in a crammed mini-bus with an old Thai man driving, thinking he is Micheal Schumacher.
The company we have rented our bike from offer a free bagage delivery service, so we can take a day to do the ride and then chill out in Chang Mai for a couple of days, before booking our
2 day boat tour down the Mekong River into Loas.
Seeing as our mini-bus will have to go via Chang Mai if we book our trip to Loas from Pai, it seems like the most fun option. However we're undecided whether we want to leave this GEORGOUS town yet, for a city!?!
We will also have to trade Nelson in for a bigger bike if we want to do this, as we don't think he'll be able to cope with some of the bigger hills.

are you mad Richard??
oh my god that walk looks trecherous i would have passed out if i'd have had to do it. Really like the look of the pom pom dog and the ting tong bar no wonder you don't want to leave. Jonny and Sasha have been here for the weekend we went to see UP its brilliant but the first bit is very sad and dad and i had tears in our eyes. Then we did loads of gardening and sorting out not very exciting. Lucy has gone to London for her and Yannicks anniversary he met her off the bus with a card and red roses and they went out for a meal at covent garden very romantic. Very busy at work. We are going up to see granny and grandad and auntie sue next Sunday so try to skype us on the Saturday. Love and miss you both loads Mom and Dad xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
