It was really busy at that time!<br /><br />And my friend and I were addicted to the street food - it felt so exciting compared to what we were used to in Chiang Mai.<br /><br />Mama Falafel's wasn't that bad for me, but then again, I thoroughly miss falafels in Thailand - they used to be a staple for me back home! Pai definitely spoils you with food options though - I loved the Witching Well.<br /><br />And no, I didn't get to meet Jack Sparrow! I have seen pics of him online though. Well done to him for being anonymously semi-famous, haha!Adrian Fleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704164180372071432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139603926648634902.post-5808517173066995742013-11-19T19:03:23.929+07:002013-11-19T19:03:23.929+07:00My partner and I did The Loop last August (in a ca...My partner and I did The Loop last August (in a car!), and were pleasantly surprised by Pai; we thought it would be overrun with tourists but it wasn't - probably because it was the rainy season! <br /><br />Your pic of the cheesy garlic bread stall is also our cheesy chips lady... best chips in the world as far as we are concerned! We were staying in a fab place just outside Pai, so in the evenings we'd drive in, grab some veggie lasagne from one stall, cheesy chips (in a banana leaf basket), and banana and Nutella roti from another stall, and then take it back to our bungalow! Definitely the best food in Pai .... we weren't that impressed with the rest of it, especially not Mama Falafel's. Mind you, one thing that put us off food in general there was all the smoking in the cafés and restaurants - horrible!<br /><br />Did you see 'Jack Sparrow' while you were there? Funny guy!

You can rent your bike in Chiang Mai and return in Pai. They will even haul you luggage to Pai for you so you can ride baggage free. The ride is great...a bit challenging but if you take your time you'll be fine. I highly suggest the ride:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13209937725268549060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139603926648634902.post-13324689647777402052013-09-26T12:55:44.723+07:002013-09-26T12:55:44.723+07:00Oh yes, I have been twice on bikes.

The second journey was on my CBR 150cc which was a whole lot more fun than a shaky little scooter =)<br /><br />I am just saying inexperienced drivers should take a minivan, even though they are supposedly death-traps on wheels. Whatever you do, it needs to be slow, and like you said, you can enjoy the breathtaking scenery much better that way.<br /><br />And also, I have heard the traffic changes depending on when you go. When I first went in October 2012 during the day, the roads were actually quite busy, and we saw so many horrible accidents! But when I went again in May 2013, the roads were empty =) I'm glad you enjoyed your trip though! It's a lovely place.Adrian Fleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704164180372071432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139603926648634902.post-78264986948257842792013-09-25T19:28:08.483+07:002013-09-25T19:28:08.483+07:00I went with a friend on bikes. the best ride ever....I went with a friend on bikes. the best ride ever. it was not so much about adrenaline but about feeling the land smelling the woods and turning. you don't go fast on this road, you enjoy the landscape...I would have hated doing it with a bus...! every road can be dangerous. there was almost no traffic.
