Thailand Travel - Pai Introduction

Probably not a lot of people will have heard of Amphur Pai, or the Pai district town of Mae HongSon province, located at almost midway, northeasterly, between Mae - Tang ( 37 Kms north of Chiangmai ) and Mae HongSon road, now a properly asphalted and all - weather route, linking the once isolated bordering Mae HongSon province closer to Chiangmai.

Pai can perhaps be described as a lost city once when normal communication barely existed, depending only on foot, horse and mule backs and at time bamboo rafting along the Pai River, to get from places to places.

Due to the existence of a great variety of hill tribe villages in the proximity, Pai is now reemerging at an increased activities on commodities and cultural exchanges. The town can look very colorful and busy on market days while calmness and tranquility will normally prevail .

It is difficult to describe the charm of Pai that draw visitors back time and again, and only to be there by your ownself can tell why.
