Finally back in Pai

After a short stop in Bangkok it was time to go back to Pai. Got an online ticket and left early with the #3 bus to Mo Chit Bus Station. If you want good food – you have to get out of the station where the little restaurants are. If you are Vegetarian – you are pretty much screwed since there are not many options. Guess a beer and some chips will do for today!

Had some time to kill and what better way than with a beer or two? Did meet this nice gentleman at the little shop. So we had the beer together and it was not so boring :-)

Never happened before: They sold me a VIP bus ticket and it was a 2 – 2 seater configuration on top. Only in the lower part of the bus was a 1 – 2 seat configuration.

We did arrive 30 minutes before the first mini bus to Pai. Enough time to get a ticket and a good seat.

A lot of new cat’s at Twin Hut this year

The first of many Khao Soi’s at Sapah Muang in Pai.

Up on the viewpoint between Pai and Mae Hong Song

The cave entrance where you start your Bamboo raft trip. Than you walk inside up and down and here and there. Another short raft ride brings you to coffin cave and then they take you back again.

The temple on the way to the cave exit

The site where the birds fly in and the bats fly out. Actually you can go and take a look at coffin cave. Up on the right where you see the lights!

One of the many Pai dogs on bikes

Elephant Prison – more and more of them here in Pai :-(

My private stash of coconuts

Noise monsters over the Pai valley. If they would fly somewhere at last. But no – circle over the town and over the bungalows till everybody has enough of the noise
