Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Geological formation
Pai Canyon
Pai Canyon is a landscape of eroded ridges and ravines. Its ridges are narrow and exposed: stay in permitted areas and turn back when the ground is wet or unstable.
Hot springs
Sai Ngam Hot Springs
Sai Ngam Hot Springs lie in woodland north of Pai. Check access, water temperatures and permitted pools. Do not enter hot spring outlets or assume that all water is suitable for bathing.
Temple
Wat Phra That Mae Yen
Wat Phra That Mae Yen dominates the valley from a height east of Pai. The climb includes stairs; respect the areas of worship and adapt the visit to the heat.
