Pai's Season: Right now It's a time of Pai River, bird song and beatiful nature
Pai Story
Halfway between Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son, the mountain road makes a winding descent into a large green valley carpeted with rice paddies and fruit groves. Mountains rise on all sides and butterflies flit along the streets. Here you'll find a tiny town called Pai, named after the river that runs through the valley.
The Pai River itself is one of the main attractions here. Outfitters organize rafting adventures on some pretty raucous rapids from July to January. Trekking is also popular, with 2- and 3-day treks to Karen, Lahu, and Lisu villages. The adventurous can find a local map for self-guided hikes to nearby waterfalls and caves, but quite a few wayfarers just lounge in town living simply and enjoying the nightlife. Many local business owners are foreigners or bohemian Thais who come here for a better life than in busy Bangkok or Chiang Mai. The town is a bit too laid back for some, but many are drawn to the languid rhythms of this peaceful spot. In Pai, every day is a lazy Sunday.
Attractions
There's little in the way of tour sites in Pai but it's a great place to stroll along country lanes or even rent a motorbike and buzz around the countryside. There are a few small temples: Wat Klang is next to the bus station and has several small pagodas surrounding a central stupa and Wat Hodana and Wat Nam Hu are west of Route 1095: Nam Hu is known for its Chiang Saen-era Buddha, whose hollow head is filled with holy water. There's a waterfall about 7km (4 1/3 miles) west of town past the two wats, and a hot spring about 7km to the east, past the Pai High school.
The Pai River is the most exciting attraction. Overnight White water rafting trips take you through some exciting rapids as well as more scenic lazy spots, through canyons walled with prehistoric fossilized lime and shell as well as a wildlife sanctuary. A pioneer of the rafting business here, long-time resident Guy Gorias runs Thai Adventure Rafting ; tel. 05369-9111. There are regular trips from July to January. Two-day adventures begin and end in the town of Pai. There are many imitators in town, but Thai Adventure is the best outfit by far, with high safety standards and quality equipment. They can also make the necessary arrangements for pick-up and drop-off in Mae Hong Son.
Small trekking companies, operated by locals, are at every guesthouse and all along the main streets. Duang Trekking (Duang Guesthouse; tel. 05369-9101) has a good reputation. Group treks go for 3 days and 2 nights to Lisu, Karen, Tai Yai and Lahu villages in the hills around Pai. Duang Trekking, like its many competitors, is quite flexible and can tailor any trek or provide private guides according to need.
