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).

You can cut the hike in half by taking a Mae Hong Son - bound bus north about 5 km and getting off at a signpost for the falls; from the highway it's only 4 km (about 2 km beyond the Pai Mountain Lodge).
