Today we did the scooter tour around the Pai area. First, we rode to the west direction to the Yun Lai to view the sunrise. When going down hill, we also visited the Chinese Village. Then had the breakfast at Nong Tay Porridge at the Pai town center. After that, we headed south to visit the Land Split and Pam Bok Waterfall which located at the same area and located 7km away from town. Then rode back north to visited the Coffee in Love and Pink House while on the way back to the Pai town.After having lunch at the same restaurant that we had dinner yesterday, we rest at our guesthouse for awhile. Near to 3pm, we rode south again, this time is the Memorial bridge which located 10km from the town. Then rode the way back to town and visited the Pai Canyon. The total distance we rode is around 60km. Hence the only petrol need to use is around 1.5 liter or 45B. But we added 60B which is too much as all petrol station is closed at night and we had to added at the motorbike rental shop which only can add 1 or 2 liters.
