Somewhere on the way to Pai, wild bushes remains of the last season was still in full golden shy sporadic roadside. The cloudless blue sky without any clouds ... Beautiful Pai welcomed me like that!

I walk to the inn from the small bus station located between the busy tourist street, but sunny afternoon Pai cool, early winter cold slowly seeped into the flesh but not bitter that was very sweet.
Pai is a small town close to the country's second largest city Chiang Mai Thai is 136 km. Middle of acres of mountains, valleys, gentle Pai Village Pai e minor river with beautiful pure flow. 136 km from Chiang Mai to Pai is short but there are corners of the streets up and down steep mountain pass so it takes more than three hours to run the new car. Pass steep winding path though tired, but I'm sure you've come Pai then, immersed in space cute Pai, the fatigue melts away.
This new day in Pai season to late. Wake up tomorrow morning dense fog hugging the town government and at that moment, I was sitting on the front porch inn, hiding in thick sweater just broth just see a vague she Pai, a beautiful Pai her ma unexpectedly attractive sentimental. Pensions Pai river I live there is a row of houses overlooking the river, a mountain view suites. My mountain view suites, watch the mountains get tired of me wearing extra thick clothing to a riverside table book with a look at her other Pai river ... woke up feeling cold mist curled between fuzzy inside ear is the sound of water flowing river interspersed with cocks crowing, birds singing early days how illusory or ecstasy ...

Pai brightened with shiny golden rays along superbly with ru blue sky high when the clock struck 9am to. Pai then appeared radiant with light bars, cafes, car rentals ... Pai starts his daily work with the role of a tourist town. The majority of tourists are from the West backpack hostels, hotels now that they started to have breakfast, go to rental car to run around and explore Pai Pai town a lovely, quaint, peaceful ... though far strange that everyone feels really familiar.
In Pai, moved mainly by travelers to the sights as motorcycles, bicycles and a few are selling cars carrying tourists style sits on the floor behind the car there was no roof. On the streets, you can catch the first batch of visitors cleft forehead bandaged limbs is not uncommon, luxuriant Lum Pai by travelers rented motorbike went down a lot. There's only a scratch, face falling, but not at those broken leg broken hand by running the motor unfamiliar with the strict authoritarian Pai insurance in contributing to the accident-prone. So when I returned to the car rental place the motorcycle, the first question they ask me is "any accident?" Made me laugh ... it appears to be the question of their mouth when tenants get the car back from the car or something.
Pai afternoon in this season still brilliant sunshine as the morning. Most visitors spend the afternoon they were all run out to play bamboo rafting destinations Memorial Bridge (bamboo raft), and ran about Pai canyon to watch the sunset gently let go of distant mountains in blue rop of the dense forest canopy and then visit the beautiful cafes and roadside with beautiful sights sipping hot coffee fragrant sniffed the cold twilight subtle truth in Pai.
Maybe to someone, Pai neither beautiful, nor Pai lovely cute as I marvel. But to me, Pai is the cutest town, most gentle Thai hospitality in the land that does not go bored me to this. Pai simple, unsophisticated magnificent, not a place of luxury Pai brilliant elegance ... Pai cute rustic styled Pai own but nowhere has there ever been & small shop, I will search every corner see the lovely, lovely and relaxing, familiar ...

I leave tomorrow morning Pai into a cold. Carrying a backpack into the bus station to go through the familiar streets, the familiar bar or sitting which saw suddenly walk again ... as long as three days in Pai so that past too fast. Three days is "fall in love" with Pai not enough at all. Horizontal step through a store not open to visitors, looking at the words on that lap attachment Pai & feel love so much: "Do not forget Pai", "Please come back again!" "Pai miss you" ... Why are so cute huh ??? Pai
Pai lovely simplicity, simple peaceful Pai, Pai not fancy but addictive, easy Pai noiseless that mesmerizes people ... is to come Pai, Pai is to love!
"Please come back again" ... Well, no need to mention that Pai sir, I will definitely be back for more by Pai lovely so why not go back to love Pai?
