A young yellow lab I met in Pai. Very nice dog!

Well, I'm in Pai (pronounced bye) in northwestern Thailand after traveling several days thru the mountains. The place has grown quite a bit since I was here 9 years ago and remains a laid back hippy/artist retreat. Their are many things to do including trekking, raftings, massage, cooking classes, elephants etc.
But I'm here just to recharge my energy. I'm pretty worn down and quite homesick from being on the road.

My bungalow cost $12 per night.

I have to push my bike over this bamboo bridge to get to my bungalow. Very cool.
