Pai – The (not so) Hidden Treasure of Northern Thailand
I could be in SoHo, Berkley, or hell – even Paris itself. I’m not. I’m in the northern part of Thailand in a small town called Pai, and it’s fantastic.
Chiang Mai
In Chiang Mai I was able to go through the full range of backpacker experiences: Great food, the smell of raw sewage, shoddy plumbing, and an inviting city that appears to be one-part Thai and two-parts Mediterranean.
Bangkok to Chiang Mai
My arrival into Bangkok began with something I once considered unfathomable – a Starbucks without free WiFi.
Siem Reap to Bangkok
In the last 2 days I’ve covered roughly 700 miles by bus and train.

ADOCPD – Attention Deficit Obsessive Compulsive Planning Disorder
I have a disease.
