I’ve stayed here for two nights. The staff is very nice, the place, during the day, is very peaceful. In the night the bar has the music very very loud and it rumbles for a very long time - I had to sleep with that annoying sound the two nights - which made me feel myself apologise for booked this place.

The room was quite old and, even though it smelled to some cleaner products when I came, the walls were so dirty. The bathroom is poor, and it had the circle for the mirror but without a crystal (I didn’t care for two days but for a longer stay might would have been annoying too).

The distance from the center is not that bad even if you don’t ride a motorbike like me. It’s just 15-20mins walking.

The mattress was very very hard I could feel every spring on my back.

I don’t know if this would help someone but just in case, if you are looking for a peaceful place don’t be wrong as I was, Pai is overrated and is full of party tourism :(

The vibe in this hostel was pretty good. However, the bathroom was very dirty. Went there in the morning and it was flooding all over. Beds didn't feel the cleaniest either. No Ac in the room. For the price it was okay. A bit far from the center too.

I got there at midnight and the receptionist were asleep, but the bartender was awake and even though I didn’t have a reservation and the dorm was full, he let me sleep there with my sleeping bag. It was a cold night & when I woke up, somebody had covered me with another blanket. For me this was a sign of hospitality, and I was touched by their sense of community 🙏👐✨

Very nice sunset here. It is quite busy because a lot of tourists will take a bus or taxi to the canyon for the sunset. We had a bike so we just made our way over. We didn’t pay anything for this. I think if you go on the bus or taxi obviously would have to pay them. It was nice and relaxing. Just find the right spot with not as many people. Very beautiful!

The views for the sunset are stunning, but the crowds can make the picturesque views a little tainted.

I would recommend shoes if you plan on hiking around the area and the cliffs are sheer and there are no rails.

Sunrise are beautiful however they are rare as the fog most days will cloud out any view of the sun leaking over the hills in the canyon.

It is always lovely to visit and even worth a wonder in the middle of the day when it’s less busy.

Plenty of food and drink at the base of the canyon which is 100m from the canyon itself.

Beautiful canyon to visit. Some of the trails can be a bit challenging as the drops are steep and during dry season the sand doesn't offer a lot of traction. Some gorgeous scenery and worth taking in. There is a toilet at the entrance and food stalls available for drinks and snacks. I'm not sure how morning is but I arrived at 4pm or so but it was still quite hot. Wear sunscreen and bring water.

Interesting stop if you’re passing through. Quite fun for a little 1-2 hour excursion if you want time some basic close range archery and BB guns. (Don’t expect any tutoring). It’s not a must see but it is fun to pass by. It’s got a few little areas to explore which are cute.

Again! Like everything else in Pai. This was cute!
One of the 7 spots that the half day tour took us.

The ones I really liked was the canyon sunset and bamboo bridge. Also honestly drive in car all day with cute view points coming now and then.

Quaint little Chinese inspired village with mud huts selling teas and Chinese teapots and snacks. Archery and shooting targets and a replica of the Great Wall of China which you can walk up. Viewpoint 2KM from the village which has nice views over Pai. Overall not the best thing we’ve ever done but we did enjoy getting out of Pai for a few hours and enjoying a cup of tea in a calm setting. Free to get in, free parking, free toilet Facilities

Santichon Village

Free parking at the village and pay 300baht/van for round trip up to the viewpoint (too steep to drive by your own car, but bike could try) 20baht/person to enter viewpoint. Best place to see sea of mist. You can order breakfast there (20baht/pot of tea, 15baht/bun) Fried bun with condensed milk is heavenly. Many people and tour go for sunrise around 6-7am, after that is all quiet.

Went there for the sunrise and I was not disappointed. It was a cloudy day so we didn’t see the sun but with the mountain covered in fog it was still stunning and we didn’t regret our early trip there. The fog adds to the beauty.

I wasn’t expecting a cafe at the top but we could buy breakfast, snacks, pastries and beverages. It is only 15min drive from Pai and the roads were easy to drive on with a scooter

THE spot for sunrise with 360 views of Pai’s gorgeous landscape.

Tickets are 20baht on arrival, be aware this is a popular spot for sunrise so expect lots of others enjoying the same scene.

Get up there early to get a good spot and have a wholesome morning with spectacular views!

Qui a Pai, ho percepito un'aria di serenità e di pace. Qui in un piccolo paesino di montagna, (dove per raggiungerlo ci sono tantissime curve, quindi preparatevi) ci sono tantissimi nomadi digitali, e in genere persone che vogliono ritrovare un po' di...

Pai la meta perfetta per il nomadismo digitale

Qui ho conosciuto la vera Thailandia, quella che io personalmente preferisco. 
Qui mi sono sentito sereno e tranquillo, anche se a Bangkok puoi trovare veramente di tutto e ovviamente molto più divertimento.
