I have been to Pai. A tourist place in Mae Hong Son, northern Thailand. Another little corner of the world of a wanderer like me..
It is a small, busy and crowded town with many toursits and foreigners. I think it is like an artificial town as the original town was replaced by many tourism places. Guest houses, pubs, bars, tattoo shops, resturants, internet services, laundry ... etc.
According to a local girl. The local Pai people are Shan. Many of them sold their land at very high price. They moved to another place and bought new lands at low price. Then they set up a new village with other local people. Just to live in peace as they used to do from generation to generation. Some 100 years ago may be.
However Pai is an interesting place to visit. It is also the place where people seek their dreams, build up their own world , do what they want or belief and enjoy their funky lives.
So, let's Pi Pai one day !
