Temples

Pai in the sky

ange_sam — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 16:04:00 GMT

So we're in Pai (pronounced pie). Still in Thailand, we're loving it!! Pai is even more beautiful than chiang mai. We are so high in the mountains here that on some days, the clouds are just hovering above our heads. Its wonderful! Its an extremley chilled out town, although theres still so much to do and see. As we're right on the burmese border we went to check out the long neck Karen villagers from burma. Very intersting they are with there long necks and all.....They even got Sam into one of there neck brace things. Is that what i should call them, neck braces? I think not! Anyway, moving on.

It was Sams birthday the other day. 36 years old. Poor thing was dying to get near some water for a swim so we decided to hunt down a pool which we saw was just out of town and up a hill. So off we go, walked up this hill, in the middle of the day and we get to the 'farmers guest house and pool'. Finally, we thought, the 'eco friendly no chemicals pool'. YAY!........

It was a swamp..............

Back down the hill, still in surprising good spirits (it was the ladys birthday after all). When we got to another fancy hotel with a pool they told us that no we couldnt swim in their pool as we were not guests of the hotel. They pointed up the hill at 'a lovely pool at the farmers guest house.' I thought we may have killed her. Back up the hill...

This time, when we got to the swamp we ventured a little further behind all the bungalows and low and behold. A pool. A lovely glorious pool. We got all set up, with our chairs and our books and our beers. And then, it started to rain..............

All in all, we had a good day. It was quite a funny situation we found ourselves in. As Sam says, where ever in the world we are for her birthday. it always, bloody rains. At least shes used to it.

We hope everyone is well well well. Where leaving Pai (sadly) tomorrow to head to Loas. Our Thai visas are nearly finished and i think its time we moved on anyway. We dont want to wear our our welcome now do we.

I've popped some more photos in the gallerys so be sure to check them out. Bye

Trampled by elephants

ange_sam — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 19:13:00 GMT

Sam and I decided to do a 'tuk-tuk' tour around the ancient city of Ayutthaya (used to be the capital city of Thailand from 1300-1700ad). Much to our delight, the first stop of our tour was to an elephant camp. They were soooooooo gorgeous!! I quickly made good friends with the baby elephants who were just like little puppies - very cheeky.

Then, there i was, minding my own business when here come two baby elephants in a miny 'stampeed.' I thought for a minute it would be ok when my so-called friend stamped on my foot, then again. Other tourists were taking photos and sam was nearlly dying of fits of laugter. No one helped me. I was alone, being trampled by the small elephants. Finally, the owners came and chased them away. It was quite a predicament i found myself in.....luckily, we made up and are now friends (from a distance)again.

Ok, well that was enough excitment for me for a while. We are now in Chiang Mai which is just THE BEST PLACE! Whoever voted melbourne to be the worlds most liveable city in the world has obviously never been to chiang mai. Everything feels so much easier here. Slower. We love love love love it. I never want to leave. Unfornately, there wont be many photos of this wonderful place as, really, there isnt much to take photos of.

Well, thats all for now, I have gone on long enough.
