Pai Canyon We decided to take a look at the Pai Canyon on our way out of Pai. Though it was a bit of a climb up, we’re glad we did. The Drive Down In a previous post, we mentioned the curves on the road. It was almost a work of art watching a semi […]
Our first full day with Peter and Lek at their wonderful home in Chang Rai. After a cold shower, (the water heater was just going in), we started the day with coffee on the veranda. Actually, this is where we have all of our meals. We’ll cover this in another future blog. Do Home They […]
