The nice people, the lazy days
Con
Some areas are overly dependent and effected by tourism
In a nutshell
Beautifull landscape, very nice and chill people, ideal place to get rested
pattayaraj Says: One old temple in Pai with main building where housed Buddha images and dedicated one part as temple museum. In the temple located a local style Chedi with niches on the base. Each nich housed Buddha images as symbolic of each day. On the North part of the temple located...
pattayaraj Says: Housed the remodel Buddha image named "Phra Jao Pararakhang", one of the most beautiful Buddha image in Mae Hong Son. In the temple area, you can also find "Shan Museum" which reflected people in this area.
Watch the Sunset while sipping a cool beer
stoko42 Says: A great place to watch the sunset and have a beer is the Sunset View @ Pai restaurant which is just below the Temple on The hill. They have a great terrace for watching the sunset and the owner is really friendy and makes good food. You can even view by at night from this...
Tusitala Says: Head up to Wat Pra That Mae Yen to catch the best Pai sunset, with a glorious panorama as the sun disappears behind the vast ranges behind. Great view of the town down in the valley in front.It is quite a popular spot, so you won't be alone with your thoughts.It would be...
Make sure you are prepared-Mae Yen Waterfalls
traceyspacey Says: Mae Yen Waterfall. We tried to see this. Our friends had been told that you could take a moped part way and walk the rest. As it turns out you can only ride about 1km down a dirt track before it gets too hard. After crossing several streams, you reach a small footpath right...
Sunset View @ Pai: A tranquil Peace of Pai
stoko42 Says: On returning to Sunset View Restauarant @ Pai a warm welcome greeted me from the owner.The choice of Thai and International dishes freshly cooked was of a very high standard a good size portion and most importantly tasted really good.The ambience of this restaurant owes...

call_me_rhia Says: a terrace surrounded by lush gardens, and a little creek. this is where the restaurant of the inn is located. Scenic! the food was really good: we asked for a selection of whatever they wanted - never in my life have i seen so much food! the chicken and peanuts was...
Na's Kitchen: The BEST Grilled Fish and Curries and PRICE
Kimbospierso Says: OMG!!! This place was amazing. We were referred to it by some locals on the way into Pai, didn't really think it would pan out to be that great but so wrong! There were four of us so we got to try lots of stuff and it friggin' rocked. Maybe my favourite (non street vendor)...
Banjeroen Restaurant: Authentic Thai food, with a view
Tusitala Says: Banjaroen is the real deal, serving what Thai's call 'palace food', an old style authentic Thai food that used to be the staple of the royals in days of yore.It was one of the most different and interesting Thai meals I've experienced in 21 years of traveling and living...
Coffee in Love: Coffee with a view
iammon Says: You should not miss out to have a coffee and something sweet there. I really liked the view! It is very nice to just sit there and relax. It is quite entertaining as well to see how crazy the Thais are about this place. Must be famous... Its all about coffee and sweets.
Tusitala Says: A small bar in a little arcade of shops, Lun Laa is a popular place to hang out, enjoy some drinks, and watch Nong and his band bang out some blues, funk, reggae tunes.Live music nightly from 7pm till 11pm, with jamming some nights.A good place to warm up, before heading off...
iammon Says: Apparently Ting Tong means crazy. However it was not that crazy when I was there. It was rather a nice relaxing bar. The whole bar is more or less outside amongst nice trees. You can sit on the floor on cushions and watch the stars and candle burning while listening to some...
Behop Cafe: Blues, Jazz and R & B
traceyspacey Says: This is the biggest bar in Pai with air con. But that isn't the only reason to go there. The live music is great and makes a change to your evening. The band were fantastic. Makes a good night.There is food available outside, so you can have your late night snack. No dress...
Shisha Bar: Shisha not compulsary
traceyspacey Says: There is a great atmosphere. We went a couple of times and it's a good place to start before you head to the Bebop Cafe.They seem to hold drinking competitions every night complete with a rankings board. We could see that it was not worth us trying to enter.We did try the...
traceyspacey Says: To see more of Pai than just the town, get yourself a set of wheels. But only do this if you feel confident enough to drive. Don't be tempted to drink and drive, as people still do. We paid 120B a day for a 125cc moped. Try the places near the bus station. They should give...
Admire the View-Minibus from Chiang Mai
traceyspacey Says: We had heard that this is an uncomfortable ride. We had heard that from December 2006 you could get a Golden Dragon half bus from Chiang Mai's arcade bus station to Pai and that it was alot more comfortable. We went to the bus station, no sign of the bus only a small mini...
zazatann Says: There’re lot of hill tripe people live in the northern part of Thailand. Even Thai people who live in this country, still get excited to buy a tradition dress of hill tripe to give to people as souvenir or for themselves. There’re plenty of them especially for young...
bulldogtwo Says: Yes it is easy to find. But you always run the risk of scams being run on you. Such as, someone will offer or you'll ask someone that you THINK you may trust, they'll sell it to you and the next thing you know is the police will come calling on you. Remember, your rights and...
bulldogtwo Says: Where in the world did you hear that??? NO. How could the police make you do that? All it would take is one tourist to undergo the police MAKING Them take a drug test and not another tourist would ever go near Pai, maybe even anywhere north. Not to mention that Pai is not...
zazatann Says: One of very good memory on this trip for rafting in Pai River. For the one who think of going to MaeHongson as the next stop. This activity can be a good one to get there by the river. you can choose a short trip or stay over night in a jungle with hilltripe people which...

surrounded by 2300 meter high mountains (ends of himalaya), pai is about 1.500 m high. so, cool enough to sleep well at night :)

Days will melt away in this welcoming area. Although it has become quite touristy, when I was there in low season it was very relaxing and we didn't feel crowded at all.
