And Pai was such an awesome little hippie town. There were cafes and health food stores and rather than unidentifiable meat and deep-fried everything on the streets, you could find vegetable skewers and mushroom soup. It rocked. I was also able to snap a few colorful photos of Wat Luang in Pai. I mentioned the unsafe conditions of some of the roads on the way up to Pai but let's take a moment to discuss the bridge here in town. There's a bridge which straddles the banks of the Pai River. It's made completely of bamboo. It's designed only for pedestrians but every time someone crosses it, the entire structure bends and creaks. I can only imagine how many stoned hippies have been jolted from their blissful buzz on their way home to their bungalow as they realize that they've fallen off the bridge into the chilly nighttime water below.
