After hearing scratching again like we have every night we woke up to more noises that sounded like they came from the balcony. We could hear something moving around, like footsteps. I said it sounded like a dog. When we walked out of the hut to go for breakfast, we found I was right and there was a white dog asleep on our balcony! So that was one of the weird noises that had been freaking us out for the last 3 nights! After breakfast we checked out and walked do...

We just had a very chilled out last day in Pai today. We didn't rush to do anything. We had breakfast, chilled out at our hut for the morning and made sure we were packed and ready to move on. We headed into town about lunch time and had something to eat at a little restaurant with seats on the roadside, watching all the cliche dudes stroll by! We sorted the pictures out on the camera at an Internet cafe before heading back to the hut for the rest of the afternoo...

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 ...
