Pai and Bamboo

Pai- charismatic, hippy little town in the top left corner of Thailand just near the Burmese border with beautiful wooden shacks and bustling street markets. An incredible live music scene with a different act every few yards. A reggae festival coincided with my time here and I spent the night dancing in the dust with about 3,000 others from all over the world. The reggae scene is massive here in Thailand and it takes a while to get used to seeing Thai rastas roaring through town on seriously badass choppers.


Bamboo- so very, very useful in this part of the world. Building bridges, houses, fences, ladders, cups, ashtrays, chopsticks, scaffolding, tattooing, weaving into baskets, you can even eat it although it’s not the tastiest of plants. It grows quickly and efficiently just about everywhere.
