Pai & Chiang Mai



Ladky was right - Pai may be heaven on earth. I think the views, the chill people and all-around blissfulness of the place were my reward for my journey from hell to get there. On Thursday I took an all-day yoga class with Mama Mam, a 61-year old fireball with plenty of stories to tell. Friday and Saturday, Jenn and I did more yoga and went on an awesome, tough bike ride through the mountains to see an old WWII bridge and hike up to a really cool canyon ovelook.

Today, Jenn and I volunteered in Chiang Mai to help Cultural Canvas Thailand build a mud bottle wall/meditation space for a women's center called Wildflower. It was a cool day of meeting great people and playing with mud, rice, glass bottles, and small Thai/Vietnamese/hill tribe children. For the next few days we'll finally do the big sightseeing in Chiang Mai before taking the slow boat ("slow... boat..."- Jenn) to Laos. It's time to get out of Thailand for awhile.
