After more than a week spending time in Chiang Mai a very windy road took me to Pai, a laid back little town surrounded by hills in the north west of Thailand. This was an ideal place to finally do some yoga. After a short stroll through the town I came accross the yoga studio - a bamboo hut - of Mama. Mama, as it turned out, was a very active and cheerful older lady with a lot of energy. A very nice way of just relaxing a little before Gary, a couchsurfer, Matthias from Germany and Peter and Shane, Irish, arrived in Pai.
A motorbike is the way to go around Pai. In about a day we got to see a chinese village with a wooden ferris wheel, a couple of waterfalls, a canyon, a hotspring and a nice Wat on top of the hill.
You only live once, so we just had to give the ferris wheel a go.
At this waterfall the local Thai kids were having fun in the water. They showed us the best places to slide down the slippery rocks.
At the end of the day we enjoyed a nice sunset from the temple on top of the hill. The view however is not all that great because of all the burning that the locals do. A lot of the forest is being burnt to be used for agriculture. The result of this all is that the sky is not clear, but more blurry due to the smoke in the air.
