Pai

The road to Pai was extremely wiiindingggg.  If you have a weak stomach, take precautions ahead of time.  There were even road signs indicating where you can pull over to hurl…

Our van made it safe and sound into town and we took a 15 min walk to our hostel, Spicy Pai. It consisted of cute bamboo bedrooms equipped with mosquito nets, and a hammock hang out area. I loved sipping on coffee in the morning while swinging in a hammock and looking at the beautiful mountain range.

There was plenty to see in Pai.  My favorite thing was hunting for waterfalls and watching the sunset over the canyon.  There also was a giant Buddha to hike to, hot springs, and cute cafes!

In Pai we got out first taste of scooter-driving for ourselves.  It was a little daunting because everyone you talk to either had crashed on one, or knew of some catastrophic crash.  The roads here are also super windy, narrow, and very gravely.  I lasted 45 minutes before I had my first wobble, and wanted to hand back my keys.  Felicia on the other hand,(who I had to persuade to even rent a bike to begin with) became natural.  I then opted to be a backseat driver for the rest of the trip.  I still wanted to feel comfortable on a scooter myself, but taking the backseat and just enjoying the views was fiiiiine by me too (:
