Pai Walking Tour
Pai, Thailand
Why Walk Pai
Pai is a small town in a mountain valley in Mae Hong Son province, reached from Chiang Mai by a winding road with 762 curves. Once a quiet farming village, it has become a popular backpacker and artist retreat without losing its relaxed character. The surrounding countryside of rice paddies, hot springs, and waterfalls is best explored by scooter.

November through February for cool, dry weather and clear mountain views. The rainy season (June-October) turns the valley lush green but some roads get muddy.
