Thailand - Pai (18 - 20 March)

The land of hippies, apparently, so very chilled out. We found a hill to climb to a temple and were stalked by a small local man with a dagger strapped to his waste. We bypassed all the touts trying to sell us expensive tours and hired a motorbike / scooter to explore the local sights. We decided to follow what we thought would be an easy route to a cave, over a few well paved roads (as described by the rough guide). Since then there have been floods that have washed the roads and bridges away so a third of the 45K journey was through sand, gravel, building sites and tinpot bridges. We made it though, and the caves were huge.
