Have you heard of the Pai town that is near Chiang Mai? It is approximately 2 hours from Chiang Mai and famous for the many twists and turns before you reach the town. It is believed that people puking along the road is a common sight there!
In Jun 2018, my girl-friends and I decided to do a 6D5N triple date to Chiang Mai and Pai. We took an afternoon flight from Singapore and reached there by late afternoon. Excited to be in Chiang Mai for the first time. We took a tuk tuk to our 1st accommodation Wing Bed within the old city.
Our 1st stop was Wad Chedi Luang. According to the Google Map, a walk there takes 12mins. But somehow, under the lead of my friend, we took more than 20mins. Hungry and tired, we finally reached the temple. Here, a sarong is required to cover the legs if bottoms are above the knee. They are provided at the entrance of the temple at a small fee.
After a walk round the structure and taking many photos, we walked to the Saturday night market that was at the South of the old city. It was a straight street with shops on both sides. There, we tried some of Chiang Mai’s specialty such as the curry noodle and salted fish. We basically stopped to eat at different stalls. Since there were 6 of us, we could order whatever we want to share! There was even a live performance right in front of us!
After a short walk, we returned to our hotel for the night. Of course, being with a group of friends, we did not turn in early. It was only after a few rounds of games did we finally turn in for the night.
