I met a nice girl
She said, “Sabai dee mai?”
After a pause
I gave my reply
I looked at her
Right dead straight in the eye
And that’s when I said to her,
“Sabai sabai”
And now I’ve found myself
Stuck in Chiang Mai
I cannot escape
As hard as I try
What do I do?
Oh my my
I guess I’m heading
Back to Pai…
Chiang Mai, Thailand, 25 Apr 2014
Reprise 2:
Hop in the train
And say your goodbye
To this lovely place
Known as Chiang Mai
But it’s ok
If you let out a cry
Because you’re headed…
To Bangkok.
Train from Chiang Mai to Bangkok, 11 May 2014
