Pai is on the road between Mae Hong Son and Chiang Mai. It was once a small town inhabited by ethnic Tai people from Shan State in nearby Myanmar. Now it has
managed to make itself a niche chill destination for people on the trail. Trail to where? I've no idea, but if you want to learn how to juggle, read Tarot cards or sample tea-leaf salad, all while forgetting where you left your sandals after luxuriating in a Thai massage, then this is the place for you. To be fair, it is good for a few days, time-out-wise. Motor bikers head there too for the hilly, winding roads leading to it. |
