Thailand Mae Hong Son

Pai

A tranquil town nestled in Northern Thailand's mountains, known for its laid-back atmosphere, hot springs, and beautiful surrounding landscapes.

Tips from the community

And relax…Pai, Thailand’s hippie paradise, is on the horizon. It might take a stomach-churning 762 turns in the road to reach this hidden hill station on the cusp of Burma, but boy is it worth the rollercoaster! The town spreads around the Pai River in a patchwork of crooked bamboo shacks and eco hotels. There are reggae bars lining the main street, along with New Age crystal shops and vegan curry outlets. During the day, you can relax in steaming hot springs or hike the knife-edge ridges of Pai Canyon. At night, head for Spirit Bar, where fires crackle under the stars and homemade tie dye is the apparel of choice.

Still one of my favorite places in the world to unplug and relax. Come here for a week or two, read, write, meditate, and eat like Thai royalty!
