Pai trip planner

Tourism in Pai has turned the once-quiet mountain village into one of Thailand's busiest rural tourist hubs, for Thai visitors and foreigners alike. Guesthouses now appear to outnumber village buildings, and on any given day there could be more tourists in town than locals, most of whom come from the Shan culture of northwestern Thailand and eastern Myanmar. However, with the picturesque nature surrounding the village remaining largely untouched, a holiday to Pai still offers plenty of rewards. If the crowded shops, bars, and restaurants in the town center get too much, nearby waterfalls and thermal springs offer a relaxing escape. Pai is in Mae Hong Son Province.
