The road to Pai was paved with good intentions, but I soon realized where I was going once en route. I was sat next to a hippie from San Francisco who looked a bit like Rasputin but with a tan! The three and a half hour bus journey up into the mountains (273 turns - two girls got sick!) consisted of talking to this guy about metaphysics, consciousness and LSD... was possibly the most interesting three hours I've spent on a bus!!
Pai is known all around Thailand as like a hippie town with lots of drugs (opium, marijuana, mushrooms, acid) readily available. I'd planned three days but ended up staying for seven. I met a few people who'd planned a few days and ended up staying for a few years! It's that type of place. Quite untouched, cool vibe, nice people and cheap! Everyone gets a motorbike and chills around getting drunk and stoned... It was how I spent most of my week. It was awesome.
Left yesterday with some friends I met there and we're making our way down south to the islands. The Full Moon Party in Koh Phanghan is on the sixth of April so gotta be there for then....
You could also copy the URL of each new post and paste that to your facebook so it would be like a diary entry. As the more post appear on your wall the further down the post about your blog go and eventually it will disappear.
ReplyDeleteUpload a map of Thailand to your blog - you can get one off google.
