We got all sorted this morning to check out and were picked up at 9.30am by a truck which took us to the train station to get on our mini bus. It didn't set off until an hour later and it took about 3 hours to get to Pai. Nearly all the way it was winding roads all the way up the mountains then back down other side. A poor girl was sick on the bus it was that winding. The mini bus dropped us off in town at their booking office but we didn't really know where we w...

We had a little sleep in this morning and then headed out to the park. We chilled at the park all day in the boiling sun. It felt like the warmest day we have had- I think it was about 34-36 degrees. Loving the heat though! We laid right next to the lake and hired a wooden mat to lay on. We played cards all day and I kicked arse for a change! We stayed until the sun wasn't far off going down and then walked to the festival market at Thapae Gate. The festival had ...

We were up before dawn again this morning only to find once we were ready and downstairs that we were getting picked up about 8am not 7am, so we booked the bus to Pai for 27th, went to the shop and then chilled for a bit. The bus didn't turn up until 8.45am either! That could have been an extra hour at least in bed! Or on the toilet as we both had bad bellies! It was the same guide that picked us up that we had yesterday. She apologised for it like it was a bad t...

We were up before dawn this morning to set off for our trip at 7.30. It was a mini bus for our trip today and there were 11 of us. We had to bring our passports with us as there were immigration checks in Chiang Rai as it was so close to bordering countries and people could try and come in. The first stop on the trip was the hot springs which was an hour away from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai province. We had never seen hot springs before so it was pretty weird to s...

We were up early for the trip this morning and were picked up at half 8. There were 10 of us in a pick up truck with the driver and a guide. The guide was friendly but never spoke too much. There were 3 Czech people and 2 Japanese people who were fine but then there were three American people who were so annoying! They literally didn't stop talking s*** all day and acting like little children. Could have throttled them! First stop was at an orchard farm for 20 mi...
