Some tourists plan to spend one or two days in Pai, as a frequent saying goes, but end up staying for one month or even a year.

We also have a wine bar and a gallery. You can enjoy lounging around by the terrace overlooking the garden or sit by the side walk watching the street goes by. Even enjoy airy atmosphere on the second floor terrace overlooking the village and river view.
It first appears that there's not a lot to see in Pai (pronounced like the English word 'bye' not 'pie'), a peaceful crossroads town about halfway between Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son on Rte 1095. But if you stick around a few days and talk to some of the locals, you may discover some beautiful spots in the surrounding hills.
Most of the town's population are Shan and Thai, but there' s also a small but visible Muslim Chinese population. Attracted by easy living and a small live music scene, Pai nowadays also features a sizeable collection of long-term visitors - mostly farang and Japanese - who use the town as a place to chill out between excursion elsewhere in Asia.
Northwest of town , a Shan village, a Lahu village and Lisu village, a KMT village called Ban Santichon (San Ti Chuen in Yunnanese) and Nam Tok Mo Paeng can all be visited on foot. The Shan, Lisu and KMT villages lie within 4km of Pai, while the Lahu village is near Nam Tok Mo Paeng, which is another 4
km farther from town (8 km total)
A couple of pools at the base of the falls are suitable for swimming- best just after the rainy season, October to early December.
