We headed for Pai, with Chris and Heidi as our travelling companions. I really should have paid Chris a rental rate for using his guitar since I was always borrowing it.
Pai is chilled out, with some nice waterfalls, elephant rides available. The town itself is really low key with a bit of party life happening later at night. Similar to Vang Vieng in Laos but nowhere near as cool (we love Laos - see Vang Vieng and Muang Noi on this blog for more details).
We caught up with the Edo and Shiri from the Laos boat crossing. And then later bumped into Leslie and Dave that we met in Muang Noi in Laos. A great night sitting around an open fire at a trendy bar called Ting Tong watching fire dancers, and playing volleyball, and crawling through logs (see the photos) whilst drinking the local beer.
On 2 Mar we got a bus back to Chiang Mai so that we could connect to Bangkok.
