sorry, only google translate 🙁
fter 4 hours of driving in one of those usual in Thailand minivans, so we were arrived in Pai. Jeab had us already warned that Pai is a paradise for (grass-fuming) Backpacker and accordingly we were almost ready for anything. However, it turned out to be much less serious than feared out. have if it was up to the off-season or that we simply already “worse” (see Byron Bay in Australia) Viewed: Yes here are backpackers without end and where many backpackers are, is well known, the good old grass not far, but , shocked really has us as not said.
On the contrary, we had a super bungalow ergattert am See and owner Chalee is definitely one of fürsorglichsten AirBnB hosts that we have met so far. As the lake was just outside the village, he lent us bicycles to night to make the village a little insecure and drove us the next day directly to the scooter rental. Yes exactly, we were interested to rent a scooter for the first time !!! 😎
Borrowing is like everything in Thailand: Super easy and simple (even if the passport must always leave as a pledge of what we actually are very reluctant …). Tasted, the fun way 200 Baht (about 5 €) for helmets, scooter incl. Insurance and fuel. This runabout we drove around a 30km long tour around Pai to admire the most significant natural phenomena in the area. There is, for one of the Pai Canyon, several waterfalls, a temple and a chic old bridge.
And then it was evening already further to the actual destination of this trip, Mae Hong Son. Pai was in fact really only unintended stopover, as the bus from Chiang Mai, contrary to the information obtained from the guide does not need to Mae Hong Son 4 but 6 hours, and the we somehow found a bit much waste of time, so this really successful stopover in Pai 🙂
