[2025 Pai Attraction] Travel Guide for Pai River (Updated May)

Puri Pai Villa is a modern private villa located outside the city of Pai. However, because of this distance, this villa is fully equipped with privacy, quietness, and spaciousness. The rooms are very large and have complete facilities. There is a private pool with a view of the mountains and mist. It is very cool. The breakfast is delicious. The service is very good. It is truly a five-star hotel. I will definitely visit again. #PaiMaeHongSon

Pai District is a large district of Mae Hong Son Province. It is well-known for its natural beauty, mountains, and culture. Today, we checked in at the Tha Pai Historical Bridge, a must-see landmark of Pai. It is a legacy from World War II. After the war ended, it became the gateway to Pai, leaving tourists to take pictures and check in. When it gets dark, take a walk to enjoy the cool breeze on the walking street. I would like to recommend a popular menu here: Khao Nuk Nga Yang Charcoal (rice mixed with sesame, made from pounded sesame seeds, salt, and freshly steamed rice). Grilled hot and dipped in sweetened condensed milk, it is very delicious. #Pai #MaeHongSon #BeautifulPhotoPlaces #TouristReviews #CheckInPoints

📍A restaurant located at the intersection, right at the entrance to the walkway, is beautiful and modern, and supports a large number of tourists. It is a restaurant that serves food supplements for young people. The food is very delicious, especially the pork satay, mixed salad, and khao soi. The price is not expensive. I highly recommend it if you want to eat here or stop by here or stay here. The food tastes good. You don't have to wait long. The size of the restaurant is not very big. During the festival, there will be quite a lot of people. You have to pay for the pork satay because it is a different restaurant. The taste is acceptable. The food in the restaurant is delicious overall. I like the seafood sauce. The price is not expensive. The amount of food is quite large. 📍Name: Nong Beer Restaurant Location: 39 Moo 3, Wiang Tai Subdistrict, Pai District, Mae Hong Son Province 58130 Tel. 0-5369-9103 (No reservations by phone) Open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. #Recommended restaurant #Pai

Doi Thong 📍Located in Tung Yao Subdistrict, Pai District, Mae Hong Son Province It is 1,895 meters above sea level and is the highest point where you can see the sea of ​​mist and the sunrise beautifully. On the top of Doi Thong, there is a pagoda containing the relics of the Lord Buddha as a symbol for the villagers and hill tribes to pay homage to. The lowest temperature on Doi Thong during the winter is 2-4 degrees Celsius. The highest temperature is only 11 degrees Celsius. Doi Thong is a mountain peak that is a route from Doi Miang, which is only 3 kilometers away. Within a radius of 500 meters, there is also a viewpoint where you can see a 360-degree view of the sea of ​​mist and beautiful nature along the way. At Doi Thong, we can see the scenery and the surrounding view, full of mountains for us to see, along with a beautiful sea of ​​mist. If you come in late rainy season, early winter, when the humidity is high, you will see the sea of ​​mist all around you. You can visit here from October to February of every year. You can stay overnight at the top of Doi Miang. #PaiMaeHongSon #Pai #DoiThong

Personally, I think Pai Walking Street is a very nice walking street. Most of the products sold here are local products. No matter how many times I go, the shop that makes the cut is Gyoza Queen. It's sooo delicious!!! If you go there, don't miss it. It's really delicious. Another shop is Pai Republic, which sells posters. There's a mailbox in front of the shop. You can write on it right away. Buy a stamp, stick it on, and drop it off. It's very classic!!! Actually, there are many other things to recommend, but I'll leave it at this for now. I fell in love with Pai for the millionth time with its atmosphere and many different places that you have to experience for yourself. And there are so many foreigners here. On weekdays, you won't see many Thai tourists. On holidays, there will be a lot of Thai tourists, but it's mixed. Let's just say that this place is another place that is popular with foreign tourists. #Pai #MaeHongSon #WalkingStreet #WaitingForDeparture #Thailand

Sai Ngam Hot Spring Sai Ngam Hot Spring is a natural tourist attraction in Pai District that is popular with Thai and foreign tourists. Come and soak in warm water to relax in the atmosphere surrounded by trees. It is another unseen of Pai District that should not be missed. Fan page: Sai Ngam Hot Spring, Pai, Mae Hong Son The warm water has a great atmosphere. You must come and experience it at least once. It is very good.

The Tha Pai Historical Bridge is located on Highway 1095 at kilometer 88 before entering Pai town. This bridge is considered the gateway to Pai District. This bridge was built during World War II by the Japanese army to cross the Pai River and transport supplies and weapons to Burma. After World War II ended, Pai District returned to peace once again, leaving only this bridge. It is a popular spot for tourists to take pictures.

Santichon Village Santitichon Village is a village of Yunnanese-Thai people who have settled here for over 40 years. It is a place that anyone visiting Pai District must stop by because in addition to having delicious authentic Chinese food, you can also see the Yunnanese way of life in the past, which is something that is not easy to find these days. There are also souvenirs imported from China that are worth buying as souvenirs. Most importantly, there is delicious tea for sale at an affordable price. There is also a restaurant in the Yunnanese style. I must say that the taste is very good.

#Southeast Asia Travel This is Pai, a rural village in northern Thailand and a mecca for backpackers! When I come to Pai, there is one thing I never miss: sending a letter to Korea. It is hard to find a mailbox these days, but you can find a red mailbox in Pai. The postcard shop called Pai Republic is also very famous among travelers. Everyone looks forward to receiving a letter from their respective countries after their trip and writes their feelings on a postcard. It may vary depending on the country, but I think I received a letter at home every time within 1 to 2 months. It feels different when I receive a letter from Korea..! I recommend those traveling to Pai, Thailand, to send a letter to their family and friends in Korea, or to yourself while traveling :) #Thailand #ThailandTravel #Pai #PaiTravel #PaiHotPlace #ThailandPai #BackpackingTravel #MeccaForBackpackers #Mailbox

🍝🥗 Witching Well is a small, cute Italian restaurant that catches your eye as soon as you see it. You want to go inside the restaurant. The owner is a foreigner and the owner also serves you himself. It's so cute. I didn't think Pai would have such a cute restaurant. The food tastes authentic Italian and is so delicious that it feels like eating the original. If anyone has the chance to come to Pai Walking Street to enjoy the cool breeze, stop by and try it. #WinterAttractions #PaiWalkingStreet #PaiMaeHongSon

This small district is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Thailand. From a quiet district amidst the intricate mountain walls and beautiful rice fields that turn green in the rainy season, Pai has become a destination for travelers of all ages and has become a city where you can design your own chicness and meet your modern lifestyle every second you step foot in this small land. It is worth seeing. Pai Walking Street is located on Chaisongkhram Road, a shopping center for shoppers. Most of the products sold are Pai souvenir T-shirts, scarves, souvenirs, and mementos. There are also many restaurants and entertainment venues along this road, making the atmosphere especially lively at night. The Historical Bridge (Tha Pai) is an interesting bridge because during World War II, the Japanese army used it as a route to transport supplies and weapons into Burma. Today, tourists can walk up to take pictures as souvenirs and enjoy the view of the Pai River. Mor Paeng Waterfall is a beautiful waterfall that is only a few kilometers from the city.

Pai - Pang Oung - Glor Selo is very beautiful, the weather is great. Go on a weekday, it's easy to find accommodation. In the morning, go for a jog in Pai town, stop for some fried dough sticks, then set up a tent and sleep by the Pang Oung reservoir. At 9pm, the temperature dropped to single digits. It's really impressive. Then continue to go see the sea of ​​fog in the morning at Glor Selo. So cool.

I came here twenty years ago and it’s changed! Pai is a beautiful picturesque village with the gentle and meditative Pai river flowing by. It is set among some amazing mountains. It has a lot of tourists and you can find all the cuisine you want from all round the world, plus the local Thai fare at a good price. It definitely has a hippy vibe and is a great place to relax and enjoy.. #pai #northernthailand #river life #hippy

It's almost a cafe in Pai district. Anyone who comes to Pai must know this cafe. Chill and chic, delicious drinks, delicious desserts, decorated in a slightly vintage style. And the shop is very spacious. There are many seats. Open since early morning. Wake up and have coffee here. Located near Kad Phut. Oh, and this shop has a celebrity. It's a fat dog walking around the shop. He's very good at welcoming customers. But we didn't take a picture. If you want to see it, go see for yourself. 555555 #cafe review #cafe #go to a chic cafe #life addicted to cafes #Northeastern team #travel to Pai

Coffee shop, OK cafe, OK cafe. The coffee shop is quite indie vintage. The shop is decorated with many types of coffee machines from many eras. It's beautiful. You can take cool pictures. The coffee is not expensive. There are choices according to the basic level: dark roast, medium roast, light roast. It depends on the taste of the drinker. The desserts are OK. The shop is not hard to find. What impressed me was the opening hours. Very early at 7:00 a.m. I was hoping that if I arrived early there would be coffee to drink. In the end there was. Closing time should be 6:00 p.m.

A barbecue restaurant in Pai, Mae Hong Son Province, is a restaurant that, after reading the reviews, everyone has the same opinion that the service is excellent, which is true, really good, no argument. The restaurant is beautiful, the atmosphere is good, the location is good, in the Pai Walking Street area. When you get there, the taste of the food is good, good quality, good ingredients, cooked quite well, but the best thing is the price. The price is very friendly. The price of a full rack of ribs is less than 500, which is considered excellent. The food starts at less than 100 compared to the quality, it's worth it. I'm not sure about the opening time, but it closes at 9:30 p.m.

It's a coffee shop located on the main road to Pai and back. There's a sea of ​​fog, but I didn't get to take a picture of it. The atmosphere is great. The mountain view is beautiful. It would be really fun in the winter. #Pai

#Southeast Asia travel #Thailand #Pai #Local sensibility #Slow life A cafe where you can feel the local atmosphere Pai's motto is slow life! I ordered Lao coffee and laid down on the floor I was happily wondering what to do A place where I enjoyed the real slow life sensibility ☕️ 📍Art in Chai (Art in Chai)

Pai is a lovely small town that is popular with both Thais and foreigners. With its charm of traveling along a route with more than 700 curves and surrounded by nature. For those who are tired of the hustle and bustle of the capital city, try to experience the slow life in Pai once and you will fall in love with the charm of this small town. On this trip, the two of us will take you on a backpacking trip by renting a motorcycle to travel around Pai. We started our journey at Phitsanulok Transport, heading to Chiang Mai Province at approximately 6:30 AM. We rented a motorcycle at Chiang Mai Arcade. We drove to Pai District, Mae Hong Son Province, on a route with more than 700 curves. With a distance of 130 kilometers, for those who will rent a motorcycle like us, we recommend traveling early in the morning because the route is quite deserted. Let's go see where Pai has to go. Let's go!!! 🛵______________⛰️🌳🍃🌲🌱🍃🎄🌾 - Pai in Dream (Accommodation) - Pai Walking Street - Ceffee in Love - Yunlai Sea of ​​Mist - Wat Phra That Mae Yen - Tha Pai Historical Bridge - Santichon Village - Sai Ngam Hot Springs - Kong Lan Pai Canyon - Baan Kafae ___ Let's get to know Pai better. 😁

Trip Pai ~ Mae Hong Son ~ Pang Oung After passing thousands of curves, it is considered that I have developed my travel skills to another level. Pai is another place that I am very impressed with. It is worth the trip. Wake up early to go to Ban Ja Bo, eat noodles with dangling legs, and watch the sunrise. If you don't want to drive yourself, you can use the one-day trip service. It costs 750 baht per person to go to many places, including Pang Oung, Ban Rak, Doi Kiew Lom. The most impressive thing is probably the walking street because there are only delicious things here. 😋

#ThailandTravel #Pai, located 3 hours away from Chiang Mai, the second largest city in Thailand, by minivan Like a city of hippies, the city is small in size, but it is a small city full of various things to do and see 1. Pai Night Market A small night market held every night on Pai's main street It is small in size, but it is more substantial than you think Of course, there is food, but also various souvenirs! 2. Exploring nearby cafes There are many small cafes on the outskirts of Pai Most of them can only be visited by riding a motorcycle And there are many places with beautiful scenery, so I recommend visiting one a day! #PaiTravel #ChiangMai

Saphan Boon Khok Suai, a bamboo bridge of faith, is located in Ban Pam Bok, Tambon Tung Yao, Amphoe Pai, Mae Hong Son Province. It is a bamboo bridge that stretches and meanders through the rice fields, with a beautiful mountain backdrop, making it another interesting tourist attraction in Pai. #MissingNature #PlacesToVisitWithRiceFieldViews #NorthEastTeam #ReviewNatureAttractions

This trip came so far but it was so good!! Starting with a flutter~~~ Fly to Chiang Mai✈️ With Vietjet Airlines, it took about 1.30 hours. Arrived in Chiang Mai at noon. Then took a songthaew from the airport to Chiang Mai Arcade to continue to Pai. The van fare is 180 baht/trip. Departure at 13.30, travel time is 3 hours with a hundred and eight curves🥴 (If anyone gets motion sickness, I recommend taking motion sickness pills and sleeping, otherwise you might vomit, I warned you‼️) After arriving at the accommodation, let's ride in the evening. 📍Kong Lan, Pai Canyon ***No entrance fee, free*** A popular place to watch the sunset☀️ About 7 km from the city. 🌿Kong Lan is a natural tourist attraction. It was formed by the subsidence of soil on a high mountain, which was eroded into a deep groove like a cliff that was connected over a wide area, similar to Pae Muang Phi. This place is quite popular with foreigners. Look everywhere, there are only foreigners (the day I went, I saw very few Thais). If anyone stops by Pai, don't forget to come here. It's super romantic. Sit and watch the sunset with a natural feel. ✈️Follow more at the page: Pack A Bag - If you go, I'll follow you. #Travel #Travel for animal lovers #Beautiful photo spots #Missing nature #Northern team #Nature therapy #Pai #Travel Thailand

Visit Pai, stop by to play water with elephants here. I like that we actually get to ride on the elephants' backs. It's a bit unsteady at first, but after a while, we can balance ourselves. We go to play water with elephants in the stream, and we go under the elephants' bellies. The amulet also comes😂 so that we will always be lucky. Experience the cuteness of elephants up close. #Places to visit for animal lovers #Pai travel #Elephant riding #Must play water this summer #Beautiful places to visit for taking pictures #Northern Isan team #Missing nature #Forest trip #Waiting for the day to travel #Visit Pai #Visit Thailand #Chiang Mai
