Pai is such a beautiful place! I am dying to revisit, and I was planning to make my way back out there this year. But I had to cancel the trip 🙁

In reply to Jimbo. I could never be a real hippie -- my hair would not look good in dreadlocks. Bummer!

This is so wanky it’s painful. Pretentious wannabe hippies visiting the least hippy place on Earth.

In reply to Sam. I'd definitely choose Pai over Chiang Mai. You may want to look into the flight from Chiang Mai to shave off some travel hours if you're only there for a brief trip. The nightlife is actually better than you'd think! I love the laid-back rasta bars, and there's a decent amount of live music. You'll have a blast!

Wow! I’m so glad that I stumbled upon this. It’s a friend’s wedding in Jan, so naturally being the lazy sod that I am, I’ve only just started planning! I’ve calculated that I realistically only have 4 days (post travel time) left, so Pai over Chang Mai I think!!
Alex, I know you were there for the relaxing side of it, but would you know what the night life was like?

In reply to Ashlee. Hey Ashlee, I've been in both March and in October and loved it both times. Check Travelfish.org for more info on Thailand weather :)

This looks amazing! What time of the year were you there? Trying to figure out the best time to visit Northern Thailand…

In reply to Chermin. Hey Chermin, I have always taken minibuses. Even when I took a public bus between Mae Hong Son and Pai, it was a minibus too. I know there is an airport near Pai with flights from Chiang Mai, but I have never looked into it. Best of luck!

After looking at your blogs post of Pai, my friends and I have plans to visit it when we are in Northern Thailand next month! 🙂 Except that it seems like there is quite a bit of transport to do, how would you recommend to Pai from Chiang Mai? I am aware that there are public buses as well as mini vans that can be booked beforehand.

I’m really looking forward to visiting Pai!!

P.s. I spent hours scrolling through your blog because the photos are great
