After a 3 hour, incredibly windy, bus journey from Chiang Mai to Pai, we arrived in the pouring rain. We headed almost straight away to Darling's guesthouse as my friend assured us it was social, with a fire pit that everyone chills around and massive, "they always have rooms". After dragging my bag across bamboo bridges and up dirt tracks we found out is was a bit busier than normal and got told to sit and wait while they worked out if there was space - 5 hours later we got a room! Darling is lovely (if a little crazy) she danced around and giggled while telling us about all of the people with reservations she turned away so she could give us the VIP suite, but by that point we were just glad to have a room and not have to head back down the dirt track!
Over the next few days we explored the surrounding area, seeing waterfalls, sitting in hot springs, playing pool, dancing to reggae and eating lots of good food. Me + Hayley strung up our hammocks next to the two already on our balcony to create the ultimate chill out zone and fully settled into life in Pai.
This is definitely the type of place I could get stuck in for a long time but I'm half way through my trip now with only 2 countries covered - Laos is calling!
