Michel tells the story of our beautiful place near Pai called Bueng Pia Farm with his photos in this post. It is easier for me to let Michel do the communicating this time. I am busy fully embracing a stop on this winding road and a place that feels like a home.
We have fresh markets nearby where we shop for ingredients. Every night is spent eating good food and with good company. We are far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Pai town and yet a forty minute walk gets us to anything we need. We are both enjoying settling in for awhile and making our own little nest in this beautiful valley.

Walk way through the garden to our bungalow
Birds are singing all around us everyday

Wonderful cat statues with Buddhist blessing
Sit in this area for breakfast every morning
The best Muesli and fruit, delicious Thai tea
Natural swimming pool
across the rice fields is a Wat

We use herbs from this garden when preparing dinner
Our mint garden

Another quiet place for meditation and our dining room
The white Buddha watches over us from the hills above our lake
Another perfect day
The owners here at Bueng Pai Farm http://www.paifarm.com/ are local to Pai. They have been very kind to us during our stay. We would probably never leave but we must as they are closing the resort in March. The tourists are all going home now and soon we will be in the quiet time here in Thailand. It will be hot and the rains will come but we are happy to have Thailand mostly to ourselves again for a little while.

Hi Claire and Michel, Joshua really enjoyed the pictures but especially the fish. Very beautiful place there Claire. Looks like lots of fun and relaxation. You look relaxed, happy and healthy. Yesterday we had 30+ french (and english) speaking Quebec Agricultural Management students visit our ranch and it was a blast. Really made me wish I had kept up my two years of conversational french skills from years ago.
Love and blessings,
Kathy
Sounds like an adventure.
Love to you and yours,
Claire
