Pai is a little town set approximately midway between Mae Hong Son and Chiang Mai. Here is where you’ll find a land largely undisturbed. Enter this picturesque town located deep within a valley and you’ll find yourself enjoying life in the slow lane. Traverse outer Pai for encounters with natural hot springs, waterfalls and ethnic hill-tribe villages. Or meander through the eastern part of Pai, and follow the trail of the scenic Pai River that cuts through it. Bamboo rafting and white-river rafting are popular activity choices, or you can choose to hike or trek through the valley. The town center is a draw for creative types, who choose to while their time away in Pai’s many cafe galleries, or out on their riverside porches, chilling away. There are only three busy streets in the town center, so irrespective of your accommodation location, you’ll be fairly close to the action. And if you’re wondering where to stay in Pai, we have plenty of options for you. Check out our list of the top 10 Airbnbs in Pai, Thailand, and book one today.

There are two large portable fans - one in the bedroom, one in the kitchen. The bedroom also has an aircon unit, however, the use of air-conditioner will require an additional charge.
