One of my favorite stops in Thailand, next to Chaing Mai was a little tiny town to the north called Pai. I guess it is considered the Hippie BackPacker town of Thailand. It was laid back and relaxing. I even went on a tubing trip which was an adventure. Unfortunately, there aren't any pictures of that. Here are a few of the photos from Pai.
(Candles)
(Some interesting art work - Pai is falling in LOVE)
(A quirky little toy shop with some interesting gizmos)
(A piece of art I liked - there were street vendors every night and it was a quaint, cozy, non invasive market where you could look at works and enjoy your time outside.)
(Breeze of Pai Guest House - a nice little hostel for around $10 a night)
(The traveling pink van)
(This was the good luck charm outside of our hostel)
('Traditional' Chinese village outside of Pai. They were still doing a bit of work.)
(Entrance to the Chinese Village)
(A few from the scooter we rented for a day)
(A natural water slide which looked more dangerous than fun. Needless to say, I didn't make the trip down.)
(Some of the handicrafts for sale)
(The 'Grand Canyon' of Thailand)
(Another shot at the Canyon)
(Yep, saw quite a few of these guys around Pai. Didn't ride any but I did get a chance to feed one for $2 or $3.)
(Peace Bridge from the Japanese invasion I believe - it's been a while)
(Yep, here were some people riding an elephant. I'm not really upset I didn't do it.)
(Temple)
(A view of the countryside)
(A lying Buddha)
(Traditional wagon outside one of the temples)
(They love the Buddha)
(Someone's house...)
(I am not sure if I would call this a temple or a place of worship. I believe it is supposed to hold a relic of the Buddha.)
(Guardian outside one of the temples)
(In this tiny town there were lots of great places to eat and the food was great. Also, there were a lot of vegetarian options.)
(This was outside city hall or the police station. I guess it's ok to mix beliefs and government in Thailand...)
