After another delicious Thai breakfast prepared by Noi and her staff at the Sunflower Lodge, we boarded air conditioned, comfortable vans and headed for our next destination, Pai - Mae Hong Son.
Our first stop was a market to pick up some food for the road trip. The most exotic thing I saw at this market was fried snake. I purchased some mini coconut pancakes and banana chips for the next leg of the journey. We entered a national park and stopped at a viewpoint where the scenery included beautiful trees, flowers and mountains. Many pictures were taken in the brilliant sunshine.
Our last stop before reaching Pai was at a natural hot spring in the national park. The water temperature rises as you get closer to the source and ranged from about 30 C to 80 C. Needless to say, our group chose one away from the source with a temperature of about 34 C.
At the village of Pai we enjoyed a very late lunch, roamed around for a short while and then boarded our vans and drove to the Phu Pai Resort. It is luxurious here.
We will all rest up tonight for our next adventure: two days of rafting on the Pai River.
Off the grid we go again. Yippee!
