The communal area was great

Communal area
There were lots of covered places to sit where you could enjoy the fantastic view, which I’ll admit we spent a lot of time doing! This large grassy space, surrounded by little huts, is also the place were circus lessons take place. Yes, you heard me right, circus lessons!


Spinning fire
Pai Circus School, as the name suggests, offers circus lessons. For 600 baht (£12), you spend the afternoon learning circus skills, like fire poi or staff, tightrope walking, juggling… then spend the evening eating an amazing meal with your fellow ‘students’ and performing with some actual fire!

I’m the least coordinated person in the world, but my wonderfully patient teacher managed to get me spinning some poi (and not hitting myself in the face… most of the time!) by the end of the afternoon. By whatsapp number list the evening, I was swinging balls of fire past the side of my head, trying not to wince with every ‘woosh’. We had so much fun, and I promise it’s something for all abilities! The food we ate as our ‘group meal’ was incredible too…


But really, my words can’t do it justice. Pai Circus School is a place that has to be seen to be believed. If you’re still not convinced, we intended to stay just two nights. We ended up there for five. I’m sure you won’t wan’t to leave either.
