It's with a heavy heart that I tell you followers... I've failed on an incredible scale. For the past two days I've planned to go to Pai just to get some sleep. As possibly the most bohemian ex-pat hideaway its notoriety amongst Thai-bound backpackers is astounding. Set on the river the simple bungalow accommodation are refreshing if not slightly noisy.
