Our friends from Berlin were heading south the next day and we wanted to go to Pai in the North, so we had a farewell dinner together, since we realized during the day that we would not have time for breakfast together. But why? Let us start on: How to get to Pai?
We wanted to take the bus to Pai and relax for a couple of days there but what happened was a little different.
We were encouraged to take a motorbike up to Pai. To be independent and enjoy the romantic drive through the mountains. We stopped worrying, left our big backpacks behind and just did it. With a little help we rented a nice scooter and took off very early the next morning. So that is why! We wanted to get out of the city early with our scooter we called „Ronja Räubertochter“. Sorry cannot translate the Name. For further information on the name take a loo at the writer Astrid Lindgren.
We stopped at the Mok Fa waterfalls and where ever we liked the scenery or needed a break from sitting on the bike. It was a great experience. The road to Pai is nice, new, wide enough and not very busy. We took our time and enjoyed.
After all these years of not liking blackforest cake, I discovered in Thailand that cornetto blackforest ice cream is actually really good!
We stayed at the Mountain View Backpackers Hostel and had a litlle bungalow with a private bathroom and a hammock on the porch. We also got to go to the swimming pool called fluid for free. Other than that and seeing the sunset at the white buddha temple (with many other tourists) we did not do much in pai. We slept in, had food and were happy to once in a while look up from our books to see the view is still breathtaking. Actually we did something which is plan our further travels.

The way back was even more relaxed since we knew the road and got used to being on the bike.
Have a break, have a kitkat
