Pai - A Street Full Of Trendies?

We've made it to Pai. It was really easy actually. We got a bus here. It was air-conditioned and it stopped half way here so we could use the loo. Very civilised!

Pai seems to be just a street (albeit a fairly long street) and that is that. It is a cool and funky street with lots of Rasta cafes and trendy people with dreads.

Admittedly, we haven't seen much of Pai yet - except for an awesome cafe that did mash potato - as we went almost straight to our room at Pai Treehouse. It is so lovely here up with the mountains. Apparently it's about 650m above sea level. It gets cold as soon as the sun goes down behind the mountains.

(Update: I have now been here for a night and can confirm that it is very cold in the night. Nic kept moving the duvet and letting all the cold air in. It was freezing! But at least the bed was very clean and comfy.)

Our bungalow

Our room here is very cute. We have a terrace and we're right by the river Pai (which is shallow enough to paddle in at the moment).

The view from our bungalow

There are also elephants walking around here. They are tourist elephants, and I feel a bit sorry for them as I don't think they're as well looked after as the elephants at Baan Chang. But, I have to admit it is really cool to see the elephants walk past your front door.

So, we're quite happy here, I don't think we'll stay in this particular place for more than 3 days as it's quite expensive and everything closes at 7.30 (you can't get food after 7.30... mental). We may wander down to Pai proper and see if there's somewhere for us to stay afterwards.
