On top of my what-to-do-in-pai list was rafting on the Pai river. I signed up at the Thai Rafting Adventure which is run by a friendly French guy who lives in the area for over 20 years and did the 1 day rafting trip which sure is a full day. Getting picked up at 7…
Chiang Mai is the second largest city in Thailand and about 600 km up North from Bangkok. How to get there? You can take an agonizing 14 hour bus or train ride or have an easy going 1 hour flight. I of course choose the latter option. With these lowcost airlines flying is more than…
