Pai Walking Street started when hill tribes and locals in Pai District brought local products and souvenirs to sell to foreign tourists from small stalls. Later, more and more vendors came to reserve space to sell until it became Pai Walking Street. The Pai District authorities therefore cooperated in closing Chaisongkhram Road from the Pai District Office to the Pai River. Traffic was closed, causing both sides of the road to be filled with many shops. This allowed tourists to choose to buy souvenirs such as clothes, pictures, postcards, as well as restaurants and various entertainment venues on this road.

#VisitMaeHongSon #VisitChicCafe #cafe #CafeReview #CafeLife 🍓 Love Strawberry Pai Cafe at Mae Hong Sorn Province 🍓 If you go to Mae Hong Son, you must go to Pai. There are so many cute cafes in Pai.

Enough of the little town of pai, the food in pai why not head out right outside of pai towards the pai canyon which is only a short 12mins drive down south from the little village of pai. The Pai Canyon is a tourists attraction, and although this is a tourists attraction this place is free to visit, if you do not have a transport from the pai village you can also rent a motorbike for only 150baht but utmost care is recommended. Do remember when doing this hike, do wear a good pair of walking shoes as the hike after the 1st view points can get abit scary as the hike has an unprotected hiking path where the drops can be scary if you miss a footing. But most people come here for the scenic panoramic sunset from above but the further you hike in, the more quiet and pristine it gets. Trust me! #fallingforfall #pai #hikinginpai #changmai #thailand #hiking #attractions #scenic #view #sunset

I heard that the road from Chiang Mai to Pai has hundreds of curves, so people who are prone to motion sickness will vomit or suffer from severe motion sickness, so I set off a little nervously. As we continued to drive through the mountains, the road was really winding, so there were a lot of turns. Fortunately, I didn't get motion sickness, and I don't get motion sickness easily to begin with. If you're worried, take some motion sickness pills and go. #January travel support event #Pai travel

This is the best restaurant in Pai. There are so many delicious sandwiches. I came here twice to eat. The store is small, but many people come and take out a lot. The recommended menu is just whatever you order, it's all delicious, so you can eat whatever you like that day. They also sell wine that is hard to find here. #January travel support event #Pai travel

Isn't Pai the graveyard of long-term travelers? I wondered why. First of all, it wasn't a graveyard for me. But the scenery is simple but pretty, not complicated, and quiet but lively. If you want to enjoy it quietly, you can do that, and if you want to enjoy it noisily, You can come here and play tightrope. It's like the moment when King and the Clown comes to mind. Another advantage is that you can ride a motorcycle and visit better places on the outskirts. #January travel support event #Pai travel

If you think of it as an old-fashioned trip without a phone or internet, I think you can find most of the local travelers here. All the travelers who came to Pai are here. There are a lot of people and even more parked motorbikes, and it's complicated, but it has a peaceful atmosphere. The scenery is really amazing. #January travel support event #Pai travel

Bye Bye Chicken Porridge Shop, which only opens in the morning, So you have to wake up early. If you wake up late, you can't eat. It's closed, so you can't eat there at all. That's why I missed it once. The owner and the chicken porridge shop lady are a married couple, so I was really surprised. We must have been the only ones who didn't know, but everyone must have known. Anyway, it's so delicious that I want to eat it again. #January travel support event #Bye travel

Pai Terminal is a must-visit place for travelers coming to Pai If you are going to another city in Thailand from Pai, this is a place you must visit. If you have a desired date and time for the minivan, I recommend making a reservation. It seems like the most convenient way is to just make a reservation on the day you arrive. #January travel support event #Pai travel

The Boon Khok Suai Bridge, also known as the Bamboo Bridge of Faith, is a wooden bridge built by a monastery for monks to walk out to collect alms in the village, which is about 1 km away. In the past, they had to walk through rice fields with difficulty. The villagers helped build it as an offering. It is a very beautiful wooden bridge that is sturdy and does not wobble. On the bridge, you can see the rice fields and houses in the distance. There is also a fork in the road and a place to feed fish. It is very beautiful and you can take a lot of pictures. How to get to the Boon Khok Suai Bridge: From Pai town, pass Coffee in Love and you will see an alley. Turn right into that alley. Drive straight until you reach the Paem Bok village. However, the road is quite small and a bit slippery. On the day we came, we were lucky that it did not rain. If it had rained, we would have had to be extra careful. But it was worth it. It is really beautiful. #NaturalAttractions #Pai #PaiTheDreamCity #PaiMaeHongSon #PaiIsBeautiful #VisitPai

Pai, also known as the black hole of backpackers. It has become well-known and the number of tourists has increased recently. If you go, I recommend visiting Two Huts in Pai, which has a beautiful sunset. There are only two bungalows, so you have to run close to the open run. #sunset #Thailand travel #Pai

Pai coffee studio, the coffee is fragrant and very delicious. I'm addicted. I went back twice. I was in Pai for 2 days and went both days. The first day, the atmosphere was normal. I felt that the shop was cute. On the second day, it rained and there was fog. The view behind the mountain was very good. I will definitely go again when I go to Pai again. The green tea is also very delicious. The staff at the shop provided good service and were all lovely. When I stepped into the shop, the decoration was decorated in wood tones that gave a natural feeling. We quickly went to order a Latte first, along with a croissant. After sitting for a while, the Latte with soft foam was served. When I took a sip, I said that this was my taste. The coffee beans from Pai were fragrant and mellow, medium roasted, and had soft milk foam. I learned the inside story. The shop owner carefully prepared and did his homework, sourcing various ingredients, selecting coffee beans, and testing different roasting profiles. Before it became the beans for drinking, it had to go through testing and testing again until I was confident. 📍Location: 3932 Mae Hee Subdistrict, Pai District, Mae Hong Son Province #Mae Hong Son #Cafe with a relaxing atmosphere

This was my first serious trip to Pai. It was so much fun. The foreigners were so friendly. For me, it was the beginning of the rainy season and the weather was nice. However, during the day, it was a bit hot. But overall, it was good.

Breakfast that looks ordinary but the cooking skill of a famous hotel chef, so it is definitely not ordinary. There are many egg and ham menus to choose from at a price that is definitely easy on the pocket. Which is open for service from morning until 2 pm. The owner welcomes both Thai and foreign customers in a lovely and warm manner. No matter how many times I come to Pai, I will always stop by to have breakfast here.

Khao Tha Coffee Shop is a vintage style coffee shop. On the side of the shop, there is an old van that has been modified into a mobile coffee shop. The shop will take this van to sell coffee on the walking street at night. Walk around the side of the shop to the front of the shop, which is decorated in an interesting artistic style. For anyone who has the opportunity to travel to experience the beauty of Pai, we invite you to experience the delicious aroma of coffee in a good atmosphere at Khao Tha Coffee Shop. #Go to a chic cafe #Nice coffee shop

Pai Walking Street is located in Wiang Tai Subdistrict, Pai District, Mae Hong Son Province. It is one of the important tourist attractions in Pai because it is known all over the world. This road is also an important road in Pai District because it can travel to many other tourist attractions in Pai. Pai Walking Street started when hill tribes and locals in Pai District brought local products and souvenirs to sell to foreign tourists by setting up small stalls. Later, more and more vendors began to occupy the trading area, which led to the emergence of Pai Walking Street. The Pai District Office therefore cooperated in closing Chaisongkhram Road, starting from the Pai District Office to the Pai River, and closed the road to traffic, causing both sides of the road to be filled with various shops. Tourists can therefore come to walk around and buy quality products along the way. #Pai Walking Street #Places to Walk #Visit Pai

The village of Pai located up north of chang mai is a place where you really have to visit, if not for my colleague who did not mention to me, I wouldn't even know such beauty exist here. Inside of pai there are a few attractions that you should visit, Thee Santichon village where it is created as a replica of a Chinese village, the big buddha of pai located up on a little hill where you can also see this big white buddha from the hill itself, or .aube do a simple hike towards the mopang waterfall where you can jump in and cool off, or the pambok waterfall located just 20mins outside of pai, where you will see that this is like a mini canyon with tall rocks on the side and locals will also jump in here to cool off from the hot weather. Pai, is a place for the outdoor seekers who likes to explore places where not many tourists visit, which also offers many scenic spots and photo back drops! #fallingforfall #waterfall #town #village #pai #ruralvillage #scenic #photostop #hiking #thailand #changmai

My few final days in Pai which is located up north of Changmai has a little secret cave, well not say little but actually one of the biggest cave in Thailand called the Thamlod Cave located at 107 1 Tham Lot, Pang Mapha District, Mae Hong Son 58150, Thailand which opens daily from 8am - 5pm. As Thamlod Cave is a tourists destination, I recommend you to go there early as it tends to get quite a crowd especially after 9am, the highlight of this is the little raft that you sit on(scary tbh) to go into the cave and thereafter the stairs climbing to reach the cave Chambers. Of course do expect to meet many bats and birds(swifts) located inside of the this cave filled with limestone. There after you can head to Banjapo village to have food overlooking the valley with an amazing scenic views. Its a really small village really, but its worth the visit especially if you are someone from the city. Its basically to understand cultural aspect and survivability of these quiet little villages #fallingforfall #pai #village #scenic #quiet #caves #explore #hikes #scenic #summervacation

Everyone heard of Bangkok, changmai, phuket, the popular places of Thailand. But have you head about this town called Pai, which is located up north of changmai approximately not more than a 3 hours drive. Pai is a scenic town that consists of the Pai River, the many hikes and waterfalls and of course scenic viewpoint from above the valleys and hills. There are several things to do in Pai, of course 1 is to take a photo of the iconic IamPai Sign, thereafter you can enjoy a hot cuppa of tea overlooking the beautiful lush scenic views. For hiking enthusiasts, head to the Pai canyon which will only take you a 2 hours hike to complete and is not as tough if you are a season hiker, this is nothing to you. #fallingforfall #pai #thailand #maehongson #hikes #scenic #lushgreenery #views

A cafe worth hundreds of baht, a view worth millions, a shop that I never miss when I come to Pai, "Two Huts Pai" is on the way to the Pai Hot Springs. Here you can see a panoramic view of Pai. Whether you're sipping coffee in the afternoon or sipping beer while enjoying the view, it's all very chill. There are a lot of foreigners here. Some sit by the fire with their close friends, some come as couples, some come alone to take pictures and check in. I came here in the late afternoon, sipped iced coffee, and then had a bottle of beer before it got dark. It was so refreshing. When you go to Pai, don't forget to go to Two Huts. If you miss it, don't say I didn't warn you.

Pai Walking Street at night I feel chill and relaxed every time I come here. It's cold now. There's fog every morning. 🤍
