t was the last day of the AUA term so I decided to travel to Pai, Mae Hong Son and spend some time with my friends from Stockholm, Sweden.During the van ride up through the lush green winding mountains I listened to the atmospheric sounds of Amina (Iceland) and zoned out.
I met up with Alexander and his friends at a Thai restaurant in Pai about 3 hours later...we enjoyed some delicious gai pat met ma muang, tom yam gai, and bia Sing (for Alex: always bia Chang, mak mak)
The Swedes wanted to depart from Pai early to get started on the long treacherous motorcycle ride back to Chiang Mai before dark. I said goodbye and wished them a safe journey.
I decided to rent a bicycle in Pai and went on a beautiful bike ride through the hills of Mae Hong Son. I rode for about 16km, up to a quiet temple on the hill, and finally to "WWII Bridge". The sky was a deep blue, filled with clouds...and fresh mist clung to the mountains.

Wow...it's so beautiful! Glad to see you posting again too :)
The statue with the three-dimensional think bubble is too hilarious!
Your words, coupled with these images, are simply beautiful. Perhaps someday Dad and I will have a chance to witness these scenes for ourselves with you beside us. In the meantime, it's an honor to perceive these sights and experiences through your eyes.
