The life of Pai The moment we got to Pai I fell in love with this quaint little town on the hills. We stayed in View Point Darling Bungalows on a hill with a great view of the mountains, river and the balcony was perfect for watching the sunset. The journey was 3 hours from Chiang Mai up the windiest roads that reminded me of the Mountain Province in Philippines.

Meeting the Chiang Mai Pandas We arrived by sleeper bus in Chiang Mai at 4:30am earlier than expected in a random part of town. We paid a lot for a tuk tuk to our hostel.

As we couldn't check in until later we had coffee and went to explore Chiang Mai. We were stayin...
