A couple of other Pai moments.
Just had to add in a few more...
1. Quentin came second (out of two) in a chilli eating competition. He managed four but was beaten by one of the locals.
2. Ned became known as what translated as the "toilet foreigner" after his escapade on the first night. At the party we were at the next night, all the Pai locals were coming up to him and laughing... it had spread through the whole town.
3. The most banal conversation I have ever been privy to was in an internet cafe in Pai. American girl talking to a mate on Skype: "You know, I was thinking the other day, I just don't use the word fun enough. I was riding my motorbike yesterday and I could hear your voice in my head saying 'oh, that looks like a fun restaurant' or 'those shoes are sooo fun!". She then went on to say that in travelling she had met loads of blokes but no girls, and she just needed someone to cry with. I was very tempted to give her something to cry about.
4. Elephants crossing the road! There were a couple of elephant camps a few kilometres out of Pai. Quentin and I were zipping along on our bikes, and suddenly start seeing elephants in their sheds on the left and the right. Next thing we know, we see an elephant with a couple of people on it waiting to cross the road. It was huge. And so FUN!
