Pictures of sights around Pai
Our Guest House Bungalow in Sukhothai
The shadows on the chadies were amazing
Sukhothai Buddhas at Wat Maharat
Here are some pictures from the Reclining Buddha in Bangkok (that got lost in my camera for a few days)
This morning Mady is on an elephant ride. I decided to skip it cause I think I will have plenty of time to ride. But I am glad for the quiet time now to myself. She is considering NOT doing the trekking. She is now saying she does not know if she wants to stay in Pai for too much longer cause it is pretty touristy. Which it is. If you find places in Lonely Planet and they have many pages of info, It will likely be pretty touristy. I guess I have learned something about travel.....if you want 'more genuine' you have to work harder to get there, and it is probably not as comfortable a ride!!!
Last night we had THE best meal I have had in Thailand. It was delightfully seasoned and some good spice. I think in general they are light on the hotness for tourists, though I keep saying I like it hot. Then I had an hour massage before bed..........$5. Today after I dropped Mady off at the Elephant Ride place, I just walked down the street and had what I know is more common food for breakfast.....some sort of rice gruel with an egg, mushrooms, pork bits, ginger and fish sauce. Interesting. I sat with some people, I think Chinese who did not speak English........I do love just listening. I like the anonymity. Then I dropped my clothes off to get laundered, It will cost around $1.50 for all of it.

When Mady returns, we will hopefully take a walk OUT of town...........ie...where real people live. And hopefully that will be more to our liking. Then perhaps another massage in the heat of the day. It gets cold here at night and HOT during the day.
So...........we will see what tomorrow brings..............hopefully a cooking class.
love to you all,
Karen
