Tuesday. We woke to a 7:30am alarm to get breakfast before our 90 minute bus journey to the elephant sanctuary. Our tour guide was also called Nick. We watched a video on the bus which taught us about the sanctuary we were visiting and the stories of some of the rescued elephants. It was hard to hear and I struggled to watch it. One elephant they rescued was being used for work and after losing her baby she refused to work anymore, so she was shot in the eye as p...

Monday. I woke up early yet again to the sound of the cockerels outside the hostel. I won't be sad to see the back of them! I packed my bags and we checked out ready to move on to the next place. After breakfast me and my sister lay on some cushion seats in 'Why not' bar whilst Nick and Lauren brought the backpacks down on the bikes to save us all walking with them, then they took the bikes back. Nick was really hungover and being sick, so he was struggling with ...

Sunday. We got up at 8:30am because we wanted to have a full day out and about on the bikes seeing some sights. We went for breakfast at 'The Witching well' then headed for the Pai Hot springs spa resort. It was beautiful and sooo peaceful. I could have stayed there forever. We went in a hot springs bath for a while, and mostly just picked on Nick for entertainment. Then we headed to the swimming pool which was huge and overlooked a great view. Other than two Iri...

Saturday. Needless to say my head was fuzzy when I woke up. However we wanted to get out and see the sights today. We went for brunch then went and hired two mopeds between us all. Lauren volunteered to drive our bike, so I hopped on the back and we all headed out for the afternoon driving in the mountains to see the views. They weren't a disappointment! We went up the mountains to the canyon to watch the sun setting, and considering I'm afraid of heights I made ...

Friday. The 6:40am alarm wasn't what I wanted to hear but we had to be up to catch a flight. We flew from Bangkok airport to Chiang Mai which only took 55 minutes, and cost £57. We then had to get a mini bus for three hours, up in to the mountains to get to Pai. It wasn't the most comfortable journey, we were squashed like sardines and I was so glad I took a travel sick tablet because it was literally one bend after another. We are staying at the Pai Circus Host...
