Day in the Life of Pai

After 3 hours & 720 turns in a minivan from ChangMai, we arrived in the mounainous town of Pai, northern Thailand. We were not expecting this small town to be so charming. The photo above was taken 5 minutes before a rain shower.
Natural hot springs bubbling from the ground leading us to the mineral water pools

We're City Kids

Cambodia was amazing but exhausting. First three hours 6 people were stuffed in a Toyota camry. Then we upgraded to a party bus that took another 4 hours. Thank GWAD for A/C and the city! We are happy to be back in Bangkok where food, sweets, & drinks are at our fingertips.

Angkor Wat Photo Shoot

The First Wives Club hoola hooping to The Beatles disturbing the moment for everyone. wtf. FAIL.
The Blessing of Jonez ($1)
Creepy hallway of a temple city that was once inhabited by millions.

Bayon Temple. There were distinct faces & etchings carved on the towers. What does it all mean?!?!?!?!??! So many questions. So little answers.
Looking in from the outside
Temple of a thousand faces. It was unreal being able to climb & touch it all.
Apsaras. From the 9th-14th century and we were able to touch all 6 of them!
We're sending this one to Vogue.
This one too.
So many beautiful etchings on every single surface possible. How did they do it?
Blurry photo of clear polaroids. We'll take better pictures of the polaroids later.

CAMBODIA

Crossin the border to the Kingdom of Cambodia. It was VERY hot. VERY dusty. VERY humid.

Welcome to Cambodia. Make yourself at home.
FAIL all around.
To get comfortable, we started out with some Happy Pizza. We ordered it extra extra happy.
It was pretty awesome.
$3 medium 'extra extra happy' pizza. $5 A/C room with TV. Being stoned in Cambodia -Priceless.
