This morning we visited Santichon Cultural Village, located 5 km of the outskirt of Pai town. Santichon is a Yunnan Cultural Village with traditional Chinese clay houses, one of the most popular attractions in Pai. It is a settlement for Hill Tribe people, immigrants from Yunnan and formal Nationalist Chinese soldiers who fled the Chinese Revolution of Mao Tse Tung.

Later we rode to the Memorial Bridge a historical World War II bridge over Ta-Pai River. This bridge connects the road from Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son. After stopping at some viewpoints of Pai we had lunch at a Muslim Restaurant in Pai town.
Tonight the rest of the Truecolour Bikerz and the JBMC gang arrived in Pai. From tomorrow onwards we will be riding together with them till the end of the trip.
