well well well – all these complaining about not writing – there is no time – party party party and so many good looking girls and i have to work a bit as well. so please be nice to me – i try to update.
have a look at my pai office:
free internet and very good coffe and shakes. and lots of friendly people working there – like these two beautifull girls 
OK! back again on the blog. this is as good as last year. we have so much fun and party every night. and the best people at the fire again! last night we had a party till 4 and than we went to 7/11 for whiskey, coke and ice and than off to the hot springs. 3 on one small bike. he he and i was not really stable on the road but the 2 in the back hhad fun. the only thing bad is that you never get enough sleep in pai.
anna arived today. so we are getting the old group together. and on top of that: Terry that i met 2 years ago at the beach in myanmar is in pai. he has a lisu girlfriend now and a house in pai. had dinner yesterday at his place.
Fire – yes. There are lots of fire in the air. here are a few pictures i want to show you.
ta at – so much for 2day!
greets from sunny pai – please stop by!
take 7 women, banana leaves, flowers and lots of needles. put everything in one location and give them 5 hours and ready are the 2 flower pots!
the actual ritual is kind of nice. the bridegroom starts from his house and goes to the house of his bride. in front of the whole procession there go the 2 flower pots.
when they get to her home he has to give money to the children and old people of her family to get to his bride.
than it goes to the last part where the little flower pot comes into play. the wedding couple sits down next to each other and than they get a band around there wrist. the little cotton strings are part of the flower in the pot. than every guest takes a band from the pot and ties there arms together – kind of a symbol that they now belong together.
and after that – food and beer!
there was a big conzert to generate money for the school yesterday evening. the main act was CARABAO – the number one thai band for the last 10 years.
and today archie’s mother showed up at family hut. we had a nice conversation while everybody ate breakfast at 12 in the morning. tonight is a thai wedding at our place – the girls are preparing the whole morning – gonna be fun!
all right!
god to be back
we had a nice wellcome party till late. a lot of nice people at family hut. lots of new shops and places in town. fh is not the same anymore – only 3 bungalows left and now way to get a hammock under them – at last 50 cm of sand. and no more flowers 
2night is a big conzert inn pai – lets see what is going on!
got up way to early and went to the weekend market to get a few t-shirt’s. now i am dog tiered again. have a bus to chinag mai tonight and hope to get to pai tomorrow.
if you need a break and you are near khao sarn rd – go into the temple and have food over there. lots of green trees and it is quite relaxing to wacht this old one while munching.
well some things work out. did meet misako and her friends yesterday night. we went to the shell station for a few drinks. lots of old school musik but a bit to loud to talk. everybody was tiered so we split early.
i walked with them to the chairs and had another beer – but lousy company forced me home after one beer. why not?
i stay at the bamboo guesthouse again. the first night i had to spend in a double room for 250 bath and now i am back in my old room for 160 bath. this is about 3.20 €. got a bit more expensive but what the heck? its over the klong in a small and friendly neighbourhood street. you might want to check that out when you are here. the good thing is that not to many people know about the area and usually there is room – even when you arive after 12 am!
sleept for 14 hours. guess it takes a while to get used to the climate. 34 degrees and a bit humid. well well – at last the net is not tooo slow over here. have a ticket for saturday up to chiang mai and than i will continue to pai. misako is in town. try to give her a call later. jörg had other plans and will be back on sunday. but than i should be in pai – if things go as planned.
