| a lot of people ask me about my bungalow – so here are a few pictures of it
has a “double bed” and is big enough for 2 people
the view – with my private fireplace
and even a litte spirit house where i swing my hammock
Judith and Andi left – so we went to Shark Riverside for the last night. Over there very good food and the best Caipirinhas in north thailand! so we waited for the food and had a few and a few more and after the food a few more and i guess it was at least 18 in the end. to bad that it takes about 15 minutes back to the friendly fire with a motorbike…
by the way – the guy in the back laughing with his girl is the 2nd highest police man in pai – the pay freedom again 
not to far from pai is a cave. in the evening after 6 about 50.000 swifts start to fly into the cave to sleep there. if you ever here – do not miss this!!
not so easy to get a nice picture – these birds are fast like bullets!
susan made a little movie little movie (mpeg 4) – there is even one accident on it – take a look!!
yesterday evening we had some rice-wiskey with ice and tonic water. than maria came back with her ticket for the border run. she told me to get my ticket right away. so i fixed me a fresh drink and got her key for the motorbike and off i went.
now imagine to drive in your hometown with a motorbike and no helmet and a drink in the left hand to the chinese place for the ticket. than to the atm to get cash and than to the supermarket to get some credit for the phone.
i love this kind of freedom – what about you????
greets from pairadise
at the little privat fire place in front of my bungalow – we had a quite drinking into it – myanmar rum n’ coke – thanks Maria and Warran !
later i stopped a few other guy’s that passed and it wen’t a bit bigger
than the 1st guest arrived – and look – the 1st ones from stuttgart – cheers sybille and herb!!
no idea why nobody else comes over – it iIS a nice place!
and after?
the ice box
the bar and of course lots of myanmar rum, lao kao, whiskey and gin + plenty of london cigarettes
lots of drum musik – a violin. different diggeridou (or however that is spelled…) and lots of different small instruments
and lots of people – guess at last 100 – comming and going till the early morning hours 
well – for the chinese it is now the year of the dog! the party was much smaller than last year cause the river took away a lot of the city and new buildings round the festival ground.
lots of dances (here kung fu)
than it was lahu new year – they celebate a lot longer than the chinese
the lahu dance around a spirit tree – with drums and flutes. funny thing: this lahu village is only a few minutes by motobike from pai. still only one other tourist there…
than there was also the lisu new year
they dance as well in circles with a flute in fron and a bigger circle around them – interesting
