Pai is the city that travelers intend on visiting for a few days and end up staying for weeks. Maybe it is because of the cool weather or the enticingly chill vibe this city has going on that turned Pai from a stopover destination to a top one in Thailand. Whatever it is that brought you to Pai, Thailand, you will be happy when you visit this city and here is why.
The vibe
Pai, in short, is laid-back. Whether you choose to spend your days cruising around the twisting jungle-fringed lanes on a moped, tubing down Pai River or watching the world go by in one of the many quirky cafés, it is impossible to feel anything but relaxed.
Chilling out at Fluid Swimming Pool
Just want to chill out the whole day? Go to Fluid Swimming Pool, just outside Pai’s center, in the direction of the White Buddha. It is a small pool with nice music, a pleasant atmosphere, a little mat on a grassy field and good food. The swimming pool opening hours are from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, but can be closed during off-seasons.
Being great after dark
While not a party town, there is still enough to tempt you out after dark for a Chang beer or three. Whether you fancy watching live music from the comfort of your own hammock at Edible Jazz down by the river, or chilling by the fire pit and listening to reggae at Bob Marley-themed bar.
Varied activities
In addition to a plethora of outdoor activities, Pai also provides a wealth of other things to do. Brush up on your
Thai cooking skills and learn how to make local dishes at a cooking class, rejuvenate your body and spirit at a meditation or yoga retreat, and learn more about local life with visits to ethnic hill tribe groups.
There are Muay Thai gyms, language workshops, and even a circus school to add even more diversity. You will also find many temples and cultural attractions for fun days of sightseeing.
Forage for your own fruit
Pai is quickly becoming a mecca for organic, integrated, and permaculture farming methods. The man behind this movement is Manop, the founder of the Life Development Center. However, he works with many farmers in Pai who are eager to welcome visitors to their farms and will allow guests to pick their own fruit according to the season.
