Today was the final day of our short stay in Pai. It is definitely somewhere we want to come back to. As we waited at our accommodation Pril Pai Guesthouse for the pick up by the bus company, we started getting worried as it was 10 minutes past the pick up time. The Guesthouse owner […]

Feeling regret since we should do more planning in advanced, […]
