About Pai Valley Viewpoint

A scenic viewpoint on the ridge above Pai town offering the most comprehensive panorama of the Pai River valley - a patchwork of rice paddies, farms, and forested hills stretching to the Myanmar mountains. The 10-minute motorbike ride from town and the near-total absence of tourists make it the best sunrise spot near Pai.

Pai Hot Springs

Natural geothermal springs 9km from Pai town where mineral-rich water at 80 degrees Celsius flows from underground into an outdoor bathing complex of individual tubs and a central stream. The mineral waters are reported to have skin-healing properties and the setting in a forested valley is tranquil.

Mor Paeng Waterfall Pai

A multi-level waterfall cascading over smooth rock shelves into a series of natural swimming pools 8km from Pai town.
