Life of "Pai" - Motor Biking across Thailand

Last weekend, a bunch of the interns and I took a trip to Pai, Thailand.

It’s about 3 hours away from Chiang Mai… just a small farming town of ~2,000 people. Turned out to be a really great weekend…

Basically we just chilled… hung by the waterfalls… ate some cheap food… hiked some canyons… and RELAXED.

The only difficulty was getting around Pai since everything is so spaced out........ So we ended up renting motor bikes to get around… Probably not one of the smartest things I’ve ever done since motor biking is extremely DANGEROUS… but luckily we didn’t have any major accidents. It's pretty crazy though... you don't need a license to drive in Thailand... You just need a motor bike and a willingness to die (JUST KIDDING)... It was A TON of fun... but I don't think I'll be doing it again anytime soon... haha.

Check out the pics.
