Pai Specialty Resorts - Reviews and Rates

After the debauchery of Chiang Mai it was time to move on, destination Pai. Over the next few days it seemed that half of Julie's guesthouse followed. Pai was a perfect place to relax, it’s a small town surrounded by mountains and the surrounding area was dotted with waterfalls and hot springs. I remember spending many an afternoon at one ...

We changed our minds again and had by now decided to get a connecting flight (at $50 it was rude not to!) to Chiang Mai in the north of Thailand. We never visited this area on our last trip and vowed we would on our return, and we had about a weeks worth of antimalarial medication so it just made sense. It would be a long da...

No. I wasn't high, damn it! How stupid do you think I am? But you've got to admit it's a catchy title. Back to the story! Without a Tuk-Tuk in sight, we were forced to walk the hot, austere streets of Tak. For a guy that doesn't like physical activities, or moving too much for that matter, the hike to the bus station was less than pleasant, but ...

Tour d'éléphant et source thermale dans PAI Elephant ride and Hot spring in PAI Salut tout le monde, Nous allons bien, Nous avons dormie comme des rois.

It has been a whole week since I have had access to the internet to blog. So this will be catch up for me. After a very windy road journey on a bus, we arrived in Pai, pronounced Pie, like apple pie. It's a wonderful little village of 3000 people situated high in the mountains northwest of Chiang Mai. There is a variety of ethnicities here such ...

We are as far north west as we dare go for now, considering the various political tensions between Myanmar and Thailand right now. We are staying in this tiny town, populated mostly by hippies, all laid back, as far as I can tell at least. However, apart from the various treks proposed what with their elephant riding and white water rafting, thi...

Some places make you feel like you are in the right place at the right time...or maybe like time has no meaning, only the place. That's how I felt, sitting on the little porch of the bamboo, thatched-roof hillside hut at Lisu Lodge in Baan Nam Rin, a small Lisu village in the very northwest corner of Thailand. Jim learned of Baan Nam Rin through...

We go and try and find the temple we couldn't find yesterday and realise it's not the one on the postcard and is in fact ready to fall down, before waiting for the bus to come and pick us up to take us to Pai. On the bus we overhear a couple behind us say that he is from Shropshire or to be more precise Bridgnorth although that's as far as the c...

A four hour trip over mountains north of Chiang Mai is Pai, a small town not too far away from the Burmese border. The town is filled with people with the sole purpose of chilling out so we joined them for a couple of nights. On our one full day there we went on an action packed white water rafting adventure. We booked with a family run company ...

Morning. Little tired this morning as we stayed up to watch the rugby last night! Not great by England! Going to try and keep to the right towns so will do Pai and Chiang Mai separerately. We left Friend Guest house on Thursday morning and gpt the bus (100b) to Pai. Sadly this was air conditioned and not as much fun as the normal bus. Anyway! We...
