Homestay

After a lot of work, we managed to organise a homestay in a village called Ban Sob Sa, about 25km south of Pai. Tong and Huang looked after us so nicely. They were so welcoming and did not hesitate to get us involved in cooking and taking us on their mopeds to nearby places to avoid the scorching sun. 

We walked up to see a relic as the sun was setting on our first evening. 

We wandered round the tiny village. It only has 100 families living there. We saw so few people and when we did their incredulous faces tickled us. I’m amazed no one crashed their moped as they craned their necks round to look at us! The stray dogs also looked equally shocked!

They grow a lot of garlic here and you could see loads drying in the streets. 

We looked round the temple in the village as well. 

The night time wasn’t at all quiet, but it was an orchestra of different insects making all there noises.

Unfortunately the fish I had on the last night made me sick but we still had a great stay.
