The REAL mountains of Thailand

We've relocated up a series of narrow, twisty, steep roads and into a valley near the Burma border in a little quiet town called Pai.

This town is awesome and has totally made the trip for us. Chaing Mai is cool and all but its still a city, complete with city noise and polution.

Pai is only about 3000 people and surrounded by jungle covered mountains. The town has a kind of Thai hippie element with lots of bars and live music. We're staying outside the town in this cool little resort with our own little thatched hut with a deck on top that we can sit and watch the sunset descend on the valley. Freak'n great.

We rented a little motorbike to get around and have been riding all over the countryside with it, riding up the mountains to get better veiws, going to the hot springs, waterfalls, and got an elephant ride (bit overrated).

Spending Christmas in a mountain paradise with short sleeves while listening to a Thai band cover REM ain't bad . Hope everyone else out there is having a Merry Christmas!
