Pai ended up being one of my favorite places in Thailand and a nexus of synchronicity. I could have easily stayed there for a month, unfortunately at this phase of the trip I need to wrap things up. On the way back to Bangkok I stopped at Sukhothai for a final dose of Buddhist archeology. The historical park is quite impressive and reminded me a lot of Ayutthaya, just smaller. Spending a night in Bangkok and Khao San road was actually nice and I even managed to take care of some food craves that I had for a while.
Earlier today I flew to Krabi with an intention to spend a couple of days on one of the beaches close to town, but after reading more in the guidebook while waiting to board the airplane I decided to change the plans and instead opt for Koh Lanta. It’s supposed to be one of the least developed island in the country, which would be a big contrast to the next destinations: Koh Phi Phi and Puketh. I have only 5 nights to explore the Andaman Sea so gotta make the most of it..
