I'll go along with that - I spent a couple of weeks in Pai (with a few days
in Mae Hong Son - excellent night on New Years Eve, a real family event) at
the end of December/ start of January at the end of last year.
It's still nice and warm during the day, but that early morning shower lead
to shivering while drying off afterwards!

Still, it hasn't put me off, and I'll be back there for a few weeks teaching
in the local school again in December this year. Sooo looking forward to
it.

<sighs wistfully and recalculates just how long it'll be before I can afford
to move there permanently . . . .>
