Pai -first time

Well here I am in Israel, trying to put my thoughts together and to write down the memories, before I forget them.

This is a story about a town called Pai. We got to Pai from Chang Mai, using a tourists wagon, which actually was fast enough to make me dizzy on those endless turns and curves. Since we have arrived there with the goal of getting to Mae Hon Son, we were procedural and very systematic. After trying to find a "home" in the guest houses specified in Lonley Planet , unsuccesfully if I may, we just woked around and asked people who might know people ... one woman told us that there is a place that was suspiceously cheap, but we did not care , so after some prepareations and a new fan that was provided to us , we had a place to drop our stuff and two beds ,which served us for about 4 hours each during that night .

We went to find us a rafting company, and met a guy who called himself "God, but spelled differently" (?! ) . He was a nice guy, but we found a cheaper deal on a next door. It was a cheap company, without any custommers who gave us a discount and trusted us that we will be up on time , because "You have been in the Israeli army, I trust you " (big mistake). After paying the money and taking copies of the passports (for the insurance) we went to get wasted ..

The city seemed to be empty but we found some bar who was full of Spanish and British people . The chang was expensive and the music was cool . Campfire and free chaser after that .. no supprise that we did not wake up on time , but since the rafting company was not that successfull, they waited , and belived the bulshit we sold them ..
