Thai woodstock

I've been in Pai for a few days now and I think it's my favorite place yet. It's a small little mountain town, lots of hippies. It's what I imagine woodstock would have been like 30-40 years ago when it would have been cool (unlike now when it kinda sucks ass). There's a really good community of backpackers here and it's great running into people all day. There are some really good bars where everyone just sits around a fire and hangs out (as opposed to the bar scene back home and most places that I despise). The other night I was hitting it off with this Aussie girl at the bar and we left together. I was in for sure. She said I could come back with her to her place but her roomate would be there. We got back to her room and her fuckin roomate was there, food poisoned, and not sleeping. So the three of us slept in the bed. There was minimal making out but thats it because the roomate was inches away and clearly not sleeping. What a terrible dissapointment. I thought I would make up for it the next night but then she pulled her shit on some other dude. Story of my life.

Yesterday me and this kiwi guy borrowed a motorbike (which everyone drives here) and took a drive to this village where we could supposedly find some weed. We drove there and the village women just flag you down and make a smoking gesture. They've got weed, shrooms, opium, and heroine. It's an interesting experience buying drugs from an old woman, children clutching at her thighs, shyly avoiding our eyes. It's all really cheap, we bought what was probably about 10 grams for the equivelent of 12 bucks. However, the shit is pretty much terrible.

I will probably stay here for new years because this town is a blast.
