day 195, Pai

Bade farewell to Galen in the morning which was a shame as he was a fucking dude, hammock’d for a while and read my book, walked into town with Tilly, an aussie, got some food which was really good and a particularly tasty shake before going in different directions, I went to the bus station and booked a ticket to head to Chiang Khong, the border for laos for tomorrow night, walked back to the hostel and chilled out. I took two mancs, nick and tom and a Quebecian girl, M,  to the curry shack, had an amazing masaman and back to the hostel. The reggae bar were having a buffet so we went there with everyone for a couple of drinks, some buffet and chilled out in front of a fire, chatting away to some south African blokes,  chris an aussie and frank a dutch bloke, before getting knackered and having an early night.
