A Little more Pai Love


The post office and post boxes were charming and tourist icon.
Flowers at the cafe we rested at before heading up to the temple
Our three days in Pai were truly a highlight. The town, a four hour bus ride from Chaing Mai was a welcome respite from the cunning tourist industry ever ready to make a dime. Prices were half of that in Chiang Mai and there was no need to haggle at the night market. Locals were super friendly and mainly artists. 

First of many guys we saw in S.C. Skateboard gear.
Our spot, Pairadise, was amazing and only $24 dollars a night. Up the hill from the city with clean bungalows and a fresh water pool adjacent to the pond full of Koi.

Our second to last day we hiked to Mae Yen Temple three Km from town.
