Daily Disasters

  1. I got to Pai

My room was itself OK but it’s situation initially the Thumping music till 7pm. Then the traffic till 11 or midnight. But after my bad sleep the night before I slept soundly till 6.30. I packed and left at about 7 No-one was about so I left the key in the inside of the door.

I cycled round looking for some breakfast. Stuffed my pockets and rode on. I knew today would be hard and I was getting confused whether to stay 2 nights in Pai.

I should have explored these a bit more

There were 2 big climbs today. The first I was fresh and fully fueled so I hardly noticed it. But the second was bigger about 1400meters and of course I was already tired from the first. I did stop at what I thought was the top but I still had a fair way to go. But at the stop booked a plush hotel for the night, I think Tet snd tge weekend has pushed prices up and sll the cheap properties had gone. I even say a bed in a dormitory at £25, exorbitant. 

The views were stunning
This guy had lost a bit of his load luckily not on me.

Anyway the last 30kms were mainly downhill or flat so I smashed it to the hotel.

I’m on the top floor.

I went out for a meal at 6.30. Luckily got s seat and was fully fed by 7.30. I washed the streets to see the vibe.

Pai is my idea of travelling/ touristic hell.

I walked quickly back to my hotel and sat in my room. Music is blearing on all 4 sides.
