This morning we spent some time dithering over our plans; having heard great things about Loy Krathong, we considered skipping over Laos, doing the Mae Hong Song loop instead, and returning to Chiang Mai for this festival. Unfortunately, we could not arrange any travel on the two days following this festival, since everything was booked up. So we decided to stick to our original plan. Alas, you can't do everything.
We caught a bus to Chiang Rai; it was a very scenic trip as it wound its way through mountainous valleys, though a tad nausea-inducing at times. Having arrived here, we checked into the Baan Bua guesthouse (wonderful owners), then went and checked out the Night Market, having dinner there. The rest of the evening was spent prolifically generating blog entries to try and get caught up.

Well if the ride to Chiang Rai gave you slight nausea, you would have been vomiting the whole way to Pai. The road to Pai is nuts and the only relief for me (besides my anti-nausea stick) was the incredible scenery (perhaps like your highway in Laos).
I'm happy for you that you were able to stay with Brian and Tim. Aren't they great?
