Pai Walking Street Evening Market, Pai Thailand

     This past week Ploy and I visited Pai, a 200 kilometer drive north west from Chiang Mai.

     The road is nicknamed, "The Road of a Thousand Hair Pin Curves." The corners are one after another, and the ride is spectacularly treacherous and majestic at the same time. I know that most travelers tend to get on a yellow truck and sit in the back as it winds its way up and up and around.

Enjoy our photos of the trip and the Pai foodie experience.

 I will continue to label the pictures soon.


I am very tired from the long trip and the drive.

Bungalows in Thailand. A balanced look from a traveler, including many photos of various rooms and what to expect to pay while backpacking or traveling in Thailand.

    This post is to help show you what types of rooms and Bungalows you can expect to find and stay in while traveling throughout Thailand. I have taken many pictures, and advise you to first inspect the room and then to negotiate a better price if you decide to take the room.

Make sure you have a BUG net. It is a necessity.
Don't take a room without one, or plan to get no sleep and move the next day.

Bugs bugs, bugs.




 Here is Ploy, on the porch of our Bungalow, with our New Honda MSX,
We drove up from Chiang Mai, to Pai this week,  along the road with 1,000 hair pin curves.

Here was our room, with a bug net, and two large double beds.

The sheets were clean and so were our towels. It was an excellent room for $13 dollars a night!

Here is a night time view of a "cool" place to stay.

It is relaxing to listen to the insects of the jungle as you talk and rest, and sleep.

Take a break, your in Thailand, you deserve the right atmosphere!

This is the view from a mountain near Pai, overlooking the town, the river, the many
 Bungalow guest houses, and the rice fields.

Here is a TEAK Bungalow.  It was being rented for $35 dollars a night, but had
ambiance, taste,and style. A sure hit with your partner.

A nice clean air-conditioned bungalow, with hot water and
a NICE Bathroom.       Comfort and travel in one package.
$40 a night.

The next bungalow looks exactly the same,
 but is going for 1/4 the price.

Style, rustic, peace and quiet.
A hot water bathroom, and a great porch with a nice hammock.
Only $ 13 dollars a night.   Many people pay more, but don't much extra.

Look around, and find a room that suits your need and budget.
Never make reservations, unless you expect to PAY for them.
