Getting Around Pai

You won't find a tourist information booth in Pai, but restauranteurs, bungalow owners, and fellow travelers aplenty are usually happy to share their knowledge and experience. Most guesthouses and restaurants offer photocopy maps of town and the surrounding areas. Tiny Pai consists of four streets. Route 1095, or the Pai-Mae Hong Son Highway (colloquially known as Khetkelang Rd.), runs parallel to Rangsiyanon Road, which is the main commercial street. Chaisongkram and Raddamrang roads run perpendicular and many guesthouses and restaurants are in or around this central grid (with many more guesthouses in the surrounding countryside). You can walk the town in 5 minutes. Mountain bikes and motorcycles are available at guesthouses or shops along the main streets.
