We spent the last couple of days in Pai. It was a beautiful town that was really relaxed and we met great people. No complaints except for the packs of dogs that roamed the city. There were these packs of big, well-fed dogs that would attack each other and bark and fight. All day and all night. It was horrible.

They didn't seem to attack people like the pack of little dogs that lived on the corner beside me in Ban Bung. Everytime I would walk home I would try to walk in the middle of the road so the pack of tiny dogs that protected the corner store wouldn't surround me and bark. They always would. And they would try to nip at me. They were vicious little things. I eventually started swinging my bag at them.

The sound of dogs barking has started making me really anxious. Maeve pointed out a statue of a (scary lifesize) dog at our guesthouse and I almost screamed. I think I'm developing a phobia.
