Northern Thailand

Mae Hong Son. May 2011

We arrived in bangkok at 11am and it was already 35 degrees so the decision was made to stay somewhere with a pool, luxury. On our second day in bangkok we bumped in to a guy we had met in china and decided to head up north together. Northern thailand is really relaxing, especially compared to china, so most of our time was spent doing just that. In Chiang mai we did a cooking course with some friends then headed to Pai, The local bus ride to Pai was  four hours over some of the steepest landscape imaginable. Pai is a chilled little hippy town with nothing to do but chill and explore the beautiful countryside. The place we stayed was being run by a french muay thai fighter who spent the day tending to what he reffered to as his 'bong buffet'. The coffee in northern thailand is really good so Alice has been very happy, and the quality of food goes without saying really. The only downside has been getting eating alive by mosquitos. Today we head in to laos...
