Went to NZ in March 2025 and December 2025! Two weeks total, had a rental car. When we went in March, we jumped around hotels in Auckland, Tauranga, and Rotorua in order to be closer to the destinations we wanted to see. In December, our trip was slightly shorter so we stayed in Auckland the whole time and committed to 2-hour car rides in all sorts of directions. I'd love to go back someday and see the lupines in full bloom but that has to be a whole other trip because they bloom on the South island!

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!
