Pai, Thailand, The Quarter, Baan Krating Pai, Pai Hotsprings Spa Resort

-
135 km from Chiang Mai and 111 km from 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.
Pai has a fast-growing reputation as one of Northern Thailand's top beauty spot
It was once a quiet market village primarily inhabited by Shan

people, whose culture originated in Burma. As it lies at the feet of the mountains it's a good base for trekking and visiting hill tribes like Karen, Hmong and Lisu.

Well-known among backpackers for its relaxed atmosphere, the town is full of cheap guest houses, souvenir shops and restaurants. In the proximity of the town are spas, and elephant-camps.

Outside of town you can find several places of interest: Tha Pai Hot Springs, Mae Yen and Mo Pang waterfalls, Pai canyon, Mae Yen Pagoda and other Shan temples....

Recently Pai has appeared on the Thai tourist map and has received major infrastructure upgrades including several resorts, a couple of live music clubs (Bebop, Groove Yard), beer bars and two traffic lights. This has done little to dampen the small and peaceful spirit of the town.

Pai, a speck of a place with main roads (all four of them) offers you a rich bohemian atmosphere where you can collect your thoughts and commune with nature.
In Pai, every day is a lazy Sunday. And if you're ready for it, Pai offers you a wide pallet of activities. Never a dull moment...
