I couldn't leave Pai without visiting the Tham Lod Cave, which had been recommended to me several times. You go into the cave accompanied by a local guide who shows you the different rock formations. A tour in a (very precarious) bamboo raft was also included, which was definitely the highlight of the visit for me.

Today I went on a full-day tour that covered most of the touristy stuff around Pai. Because we're on the dry season, some of the destinations where pretty underwhelming: the waterfall had no water, and the rice fields were just dirt fields. However the hot springs were a nice surprise (they weren't so hot) and the Pai Canyon was amazing for sunset.

Today might have been my laziest day so far. I spent most it just lounging at the hostel, doing some writing, catching up with some errands, and working on the website (link in bio, check it out!).

Pai was described to me as a small town with island vibes, just without the beach. Confusing description, I thought, but now that I'm here, I totally get what they meant. There's not much to do in Pai, so time seems almost not-existent. Most people just chill, going from the pool to the bar, and then back to the pool.
