Pai

Thursday 14th - Friday 15th September 2017

Thursday

Much to our embarrassment, Emma and I woke to the sounds of housekeeping knocking on our door an hour after I had set my alarm, my phone hadn't been charging properly so it kept dying and we didn't hear the alarm! We got ready in 2 minutes and raced downstairs to get the bus - although I pulled a classic me and left my iPad in the room. Luckily we're going back to that hotel tomorrow so it could've been a lot worse! We then had a 3 hour coach ride to Pai along the windiest, bumpiest roads and it's safe to say nobody was feeling fresh! But we all made it (just about) and went for lunch (well most of us bought food and then pushed it around the plate) before checking into our next hotel. I went for a quick swim to wake myself up a bit before heading to Muay Thai boxing with most of the others. Emma wasn't doing it so she went to bed! Boxing was so much fun, even if I was completely terrible at it! Chamani then took us to a beautiful lookout point so see the sunset, before heading to Pai's night market. The plan was to get the free shuttle home but Laura and I got hair wraps that took longer than expected so we went to go and see who was getting tattooed. Courtney had just finished so we went to get the shuttle back with her, but the guide didn't speak English overly well so we ended up having to wait an extra 2 hours for Codie to finish getting his done so it was nearly 1am by the time we got back... so much for an early night!
