Immerse yourself in the local culture, where the pace is slow and the atmosphere is relaxed. Experience the essence of Thailand without the crowds of the more touristy destinations. Come explore the town of Pai, where the scenery and laid-back vibe are just as captivating as the nightlife.
Free-spirited backpackers in their 20s cherish Pai for its bohemian feel, natural hot springs, and nighttime walking street. The mountain roads can be daunting to novices on scooters. Voyista helps mitigate those challenges, suggesting safe transfers and curated local homestays. Our direct experiences with the area let us highlight secret waterfalls, ethical elephant experiences, and easy routes from Chiang Mai or further north into Mae Hong Son.
