I decided that I wanted to see the sunrise when I was in Pai because I wasnt going to be making it to make it to Mae Hong Son I thought I should see the sunrise here in Pai. So I was riding up the mountain on my moto at 5:30 am in the dark. the drive there was actually pretty good, didnt get lost once. A couple dogs decided that they were going to chase me since i woke them up i guess. Eventually i got to this place that i saw on the way to one of the waterfalls that said there was a really good view of the sunrise. I asked my waitress at a restaurant the night before and she said some looking point that was a little bit further that we had visited the other day. I thought I would check out the place and if it was no good go to the looking point. When i got there they whole area was still covered in fog, i thought i wouldnt be able to see anything through this so set off to the looking point. It was just starting to get light out once i got there and i wasnt the only one. There was a group of about 10 school girls, 2 amateur photographer like people, and one other couple.
The girls were all running around in little groups taking self shot photos and running back to their bags to put on make up.
The photographers were just taking turns taking pictures of each other pretending to take pictures of the scenery
The other couple was kinda just hanging out waiting for the sun to come up over the clouds.
The viewing point that they had set up was really nice, it was a flat circular area built on the very top of a hill that overlooked the whole city and the mountain, one level below there was a mud house that just one guy lived in and it seemed he was the one taking care of the looking point. there were railings set up all around, a couple of benches, and a big sign in the shape of a heart.
The grass on the ground was interesting. The kind of ground in the area didnt seem like one to support the growth of anything very well. it was a reddy-orange mud stuff. The kind that you would find at a dried up lake. Either way they had laid down squares of turf all over which seemed to shrink away from each other, they had a large pile of ones off to the side so i guess whenever a couple got to far apart from each other they just planted another one. It looked pretty cool
Once the sun finally came over the cloud all the girls ran over to their blanket and sat down together and watch, the photographers decided to take a break from the model shots and the couple cuddled while they watched. It was really nice, nothing super spectacular just super peaceful and calm. looked super crazy with the mist/fog floating around everywhere as it slowly cleared. I would defiantly recommend it to anyone who gets a chance to go see.
