Some people noticed I haven't been fighting in the forums lately... some people thought I was trapped at Suvarnaphumi... some people thought I was on a Koala Safari.The truth is, Iam_sweethoney and English_Bob went to Pai for a few days.Here are some of the photos we took....Overnight sleeper train - not too easy for sleeping on!  Chinese food in a Chinese Village... Chinese Village Cute girl with lanternMist at the waterfall Cool and refreshing. We saw a music show with Thai jazz singer - Viyada Komarakul Na Nakorn - After the show we went backstage and chatted for a while and took some pictures  - a very nice lady.  She even sang a song for us (But unfortunately forgot the words!)I liked this photo for the rich colours and warm lighting - even though it was outdoors.I took this one from the window of my room early next morning - The guy is separating the rice from the chaff - hard work and he was doing it all day! Just a warning for first time visitors - PAI IS COLD!!!  I didn't believe it myself (coming from cold Manchester) but it really is!!  Wear LOTS of clothes! Bird hitchhikers.Told you it was cold!  We were all wearing hats, jumpers and coats yet we were STILL freezing! We stayed in the last room - the one with the best view! Most of the group come from a Taekwando school in Bangkok - so naturally there were life or death fights on top of mountains.A dopey *****... and Iam_sweethoney.Hot spring.... VERY hot - we boiled eggs in the water! Proof that we really did go there.   One of the highlights of the trip was playing with an elephant in the river - as much fun as it looks!So here are two more photos of it... Beautiful coffee shop overlooking the valley...The view......and the cakes!and the girl.."Farang' in the valley.So I recommend anyone to go to Pai and check out the beautiful scenery and all the interesting places nearby.... but PLEASE take some warm clothes!

oh my....... !!!

Looks like a beautiful place..lovely pictures.

great pics...i especially like the ones with the elephants!

very nice, looks like you've had a wonderful time there. It kind a is my favorite place in Thailand, speaking for myself.

Very nice pics. Good journal. Very enjoyable

Very very nice, thanks for sharing. I have been Pai last year but unfortuantely me that i could see only commercial view, not good and real natural like this.

nice pics Dave - looked very peaceful and relaxing (apart from the noisy Manc of course!!)

First rate journal and first rate pictures...really capture a great trip!! Wow, must be cold!
