Area of Pai
Wondering what kind of things you can do in the area of Pai? Well I will help you out with that one.
​
One of the most popular things to do in Pai is Tipsy Tubing. The bigger events are on Tuesday and Friday but you can also choose to do the smaller ones on all the other days.
Renting a scooter is a great way to get around because most sightseeing things are around Pai and not in Pai. Things you can visit are the big Buddha, Pai canyon for a great walk but be aware the paths are narrow and the cliffs are steep, the old bridge from the Second World War, sunset bar for a nice drink and relaxing in a hammock and Tham Lod cave which is a long drive through the mountains so make sure you have enough gasoline in your scooter! In case you haven't seen enough waterfalls yet, go chase a few of those around Pai as well like: Mo Pang Waterfall or Mae Yen Waterfall.
In the evening you can finish your day at Pai canyon for sunset watching. Make sure you bring your own drinks because it is hard to buy something there.
Night market
Pai isn't a big place but one of the things you can do there every single day is going to the night market. Most stand of the night market has food so it is a cheap and delicious place to get your dinner. In between there are some stands with souvenirs but that are mostly the shops that are open during the day as well. Bring your friends for a delicious meal and finish your night with some drinks at one of the bars/restaurants in this area as well. In case you would like to taste some amazing fries make sure you make it all the way to the end of the market and find the lady that sells Kapsalon. The fries are freaking delicious and you can taste them for free!
