The Khong Chiam region is still largely unaffected by tourism and, for those willing to explore it, offers spectacular scenery and the promise of peaceful days spent well away from the noise and chaos of the urban environment. With its waterfalls, cliffs and rock paintings, Pha Taem is the kind of place you simply never tire of exploring.

Are you ready for the trip of a lifetime? Travelling in an auto rickshaw will make you feel Bangkok, the hyperactive capital, buzz with life. Next step: the south of Thailand, which is even more charming… Bays, coves, bungalows on deserted beaches, clear water and colourful corals, underwater caves and rocks springing from the sea. Your journey to Thailand will allow you to experience the flavour of salty water, diving and blissful idleness.You will continue your journey north to Chiang Mai, where you will learn so much: there are so many cooking classes and massage courses to choose from. Later, you will take one of the most beautiful roads in the north, Chiang Maia Mae Hong Son, a journey brave travellers will take on two wheels. Between discovering misty, jungle-covered hillsides and villages nestled deep in splendid valleys: your stay in Thailand will be almost supernaturally beautiful.

Pai is an essential stop on the famous Mae Hong Son Loop and a destination which, though undeniably touristy, lends itself completely to rest and relaxation. Be sure to stop at one of the many Thai massage stands and to take advantage of the cookery and massage lessons available. I recommend getting a little out of the town. either by bike, by hitchhiking or through a local agency, so that you can explore the surrounding landscapes, which really are worth the excursion. The canyon located just outside Pai as you head towards Chiang Mai is the perfect place from which to admire the sunset: a spectacle not to be missed! When you get up into the heights above the town you come across a charming Japanese village offering magnificent views. In the evening, I suggest browsing the night market, where you can find all kinds of mouthwatering typical local dishes at quite decent prices. Afterwards, there are numerous bars to visit where concerts and fire shows take place. There is accommodation available to suit all budgets, and you can to spend a night in a bungalow for very little money.

Enjoy a visit to this charming village perched up in the hills, with its calm, relaxing atmosphere!

Pai is a meeting place for travelers and hippies (some have even been living there for years!) There are more tourists than locals there, and the village's atmosphere reflects this - it's not really typical of what you expect to see when you are <a href="/thailand/">on holiday in Thailand.</a> There is a market every day on Pai's main street. I ate some delicious dishes and excellent desserts at really low prices. There are also lots of bars and restaurants with original decor to chose from. There is a party atmosphere in the evening. Around Pai I visited really hot springs (80° ) and a huge, recently built Buddha. Along the road the countryside was magnificent.

Great little town with awesome nature and good party possibilities. Taking a scooter to the town from Chiang Mai is one of the most fun things I ever did
