Pai, Thailand is one of those places you don’t expect much out of, but somehow it creeps up on you and sтᴇᴀʟs your heart away. A weekend trip to Pai will quickly turns into a week-long trip, and before you know it, you will extend your stay for a month. We even know people who never left. The hippy vibes of the small village are contagious; the lush and natural surroundings are мᴇsмᴇʀιzιɴԍ and of course, the amount of amazing things to do in Pai is both тнʀιʟʟιɴԍ and endless.

Rent a Scooter and Cruise Around Town

The beauty of Pai lies in its mountains, waterfalls, hot springs, and lush landscapes, i.e the countryside. The best way to explore Pai’s natural attractions and lush beauty are by renting a scooter. By having your own set of wheels you can enjoy all the awesome things to do in Pai and its breathtaking countryside on your own time and at your own pace. Scooters can be rented in town for as cheap as 100 ʙᴀнт ( $3usᴅ) a day.

Chase Waterfalls

No trip to Pai is complete without a visit to one of the many beautiful Thai waterfalls in the area! Here are the three main waterfalls you just have to add to your list of things to do in Pai.

Mo Paeng Waterfall: This waterfall is the easiest to get to from town, which makes it the most popular and overcrowded of them all. Because of that very reason, we chose to skip it. However, many visitors seem to enjoy Mo Paeng Falls because of its natural water slide that leads right into the natural pool below.

Pam Bok Waterfall: Because Pam Bok Waterfall requires a scooter to get to, it’s way less crowded than Mo Paeng Waterfall. It’s a great spot for a refreshing swim  or to act like Ariel from the Little Mermaid. From here, you can also head to the view point or check out Su Thong Pae, a 500-мᴇтᴇʀ long bamboo bridge that stretches across rice fields.

Enjoy the Natural Hot Springs

If you are looking for a day of relaxation while in Pai, the natural hot springs are a must. The Pai Hot Springs cost 300 ʙᴀнт to enter and the Sai Ngam Hot Spring cost 20 ʙᴀнт.

Enjoy the Views at Pai Canyon

The Pai Canyon is Pai’s super small version of the Grand Canyon. Here, you can enjoy some great views over Pai. Around 530ᴘм, most tourists flock here to enjoy a stunning Pai sunset. Another spot where we enjoyed watching a sunset in Pai was at Wat Phra That Mae Yen.

Stroll & Eat Your Way Through Pai’s Walking Street

Strolling through Pai’s Walking Street is not like your typical Thai Walking Street or Night Market. Yes, there are food vendors and jewellery and clothes shops however, the variety of food you can get here is cʀᴀzʏ. Even health nuts, celiacs, and meat lovers can enjoy a meal all on the same street.
