I’ve fallen in love with roselle juice and tea lately — funny it took me so long to learn the name after years of drinking the stuff 😉

Currently in Pai and did a similar trip as yourself biking through the gorgeous countryside! And by the way, the juice at the stand near the land split is called roselle juice 🙂

In reply to Gersom. Thanks for the background Gersom! I'm not much of a history buff but great resource for those who are.

Heya! The WWII Memorial Bridge is not actually from WWII, just so you know. You can read about it on my blog post about Pai, Part I:

Enjoyed reading about your adventure though!

Awesome! I have been searching for a post that talks about your first time driving a scooter or motorcycle. Is there one?

In reply to Martha. I am hoping to head back to Pai pretty soon myself... what a special place! Glad you loved it too!

I was just in Pai for the first time 2 weeks ago, planned on staying for 5 days and ended up there for almost 2 weeks. Loved it so much we are going back again next week. We also visited the Land Split on the way back from Pam Bok Waterfall. The hibiscus (or roselle) tea is so delicious.

In reply to Rashaad. Also, I sometimes think the standards are different for men and women :) Pai is somewhat touristy, but I still think if there are plenty of locals present and all are covered up, it's appropriate to do the same.

“Just a note, if you plan on coming here — there were plenty of locals nearby bathing in sarongs or t-shirts and shorts, and so I felt pretty inappropriate in my bikini!”

Maybe it’s different for me being a guy but I’ve never felt like I was doing something inappropriate by bathing in swimming trunks in Thailand. Then again, I was in touristy areas.
