Pai. Hippies and dry river-beds.
Our run of luck was bound to run out sooner or later, and it managed to run out in Pai, a hippy hang-out North-West of Chiang Mai. We headed there to run the slides of the Mo Paeng, and to scout a couple more waterfalls in the vicinity. When we got there however there just wasn't enough water to paddle. A feature we've noticed on more than one river in Thailand is the diversion of water for irrigation and other such things. Had these pipes not been here, we may have had enough water to paddle.
-Sam and Josh hike up the Mo Paeng-
-Sam and Josh, not too happy-
With nothing to paddle we decided to stay the night and sample some of the other attractions Pai has to offer the traveller. I forget what happened after the 8th bottle of Sam Song, but I'm pretty sure a good night was had by all.
We got back to Chiang Mai last night and today we're on our way to Nan - hoping for rain.
Will.
Sam.
Josh.
