Pai, Thailand. A hippie’s haven. A backpacker’s paradise. A vegan’s bliss. Pai is a gorgeous, sleepy mountain town ~3 hours north of Chiang Mai. Okay, let’s get one thing straight. Pai is not authentic Thailand. Yes, it’s technically in Thailand. Yes, it’s absolutely beautiful up in the mountains. Yes, some Thai people live there. But as anyone who visits sees, it is built for backpackers, for foreigners. I was shocked when I arrived and all the signs were in English lol! Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED my weekend there. But it’s not Thai. My friend hit the nail on the head when she compared Pai to an episode of Black Mirror. It is like a utopia, a break from reality. There’s a running joke that people end up staying in Pai much longer than they originally planned. The easy lifestyle pulls you in. If you’re backpacking Southeast Asia, you have to visit Pai. It is a right of passage. One weekend is plenty of time to stay in Pai, but I’m warning you, you will definitely want to stay longer! Keep reading to have as an amazing time as my best friend Sydney and I did!

Luang Prabang, the cultural center in northern Laos, blew me away. Situated on the mighty Mekong River, this town is a patchwork quilt of beautiful nature, fresh food, and artisan shops. Laos has put effort to make this town BEAUTIFUL and classy. My guide to Luang Prabang may be a little biased because it holds such a special place in my heart. Surprisingly, the center of the city almost feels like Europe, with tables set up in the street to people-watch while you slowly drink a coffee. The best part of my visit was wandering around the stunning alleyways, peeking in artisan shops and taking in the vibes. Not only is Luang Prabang reminiscent of the ancient Lanna kingdom with its beautiful brown traditional houses against green palm trees, but also in its influence of the French rule — as noted by the laissez faire cafes & best buttery croissant I’ve had in Southeast Asia.
