Things To Do In Pai

…”Amazing views serenity still with an old world charm!”..

 

 

Temple on the hill “WaT Phra That Mae Yen”

Pai is the “nimbin” town of Thailand(nimbin in australia offers an alternative lifesyle). It has a great art scene ,some interesting music, lots of hill tribe culture, a strong chinese and burmese influence and as of yet hasn’t been decimated by tourists.There is no prostitution or go-go bars as yet.There are some very good restaurants one in particular is “charlie and leks’s” which offers organic food cooked with love. It was some of the best food served to me over the past 3 months in thailand

There are hot springs, rafting, shopping, elephant tours, and some great roads for motor biking. a place not to be missed

Chiangmai Car Motorbike Rental

if you like to be free to go where you want, when you want, at your own pace, driving is a good solution. It is not as difficult as it seems to some people and it is not as easy as it seems to others. You must be an experienced and confident driver because in Thailand it is tricky and not only because they drive on the wrong side of the road. If you’re from the UK , you’ll be ready!

Fact is, Thais don’t learn how to drive before using a car, it will come as no surprise that they have a very high rate of road casualties. A liking for heavy drinking (beware at night) and the widespread use of mobile phones don’t help. But if your careful for two you should manage.

To visit the city and its close surroundings, like the Doi Suthep, the Sankampaeng road (factories, hot springs, Borsang village) or the Mae Rim area (elephant camp, orchid and snake farms, waterfalls) a motorcycle is more than enough.
You can choose a full automatic scooter or a semi automatic one (auto clutch) better suited if you go in the mountain. Prices should vary from 100 baht to 300 baht a day (gas not included).

Note that there is no full coverage insurance, in fact if you’re the culprit, you’ll pay for any damage you cause. Nobody in the rental shop will ask you for a driving licence, but you better have an international driving licence ready if you  ever need your own insurance to work. You will be asked to leave your passeport or a photocopy + 2,000 baht in deposit.

The police will not stop foreigners if they wear the customary helmet, most rental shops will propose some filthy plastic bowls for free… they are helmets. You may prefer to spend 300 baht to get a brand new one, especially if you’re to spend a few days riding the countryside. 300 baht is also the price for the ticket if your caught not wearing a helmet. Past the 15 of the month, chances are greater to see policemen on the hunt (nothing to do with the lunar calendar, it is just that their meagre income doesn’t last that far).

If you want to go farther away from Chiang Mai, like the Golden Triangle, the Mae Hong Son loop, or the Doi Inthanon Park, you’ll need a car. You’ll find local rental shops or international names in the city. The cheapest car you can rent is a Suzuki Carribean, 4WD, the closest thing you’ll find to a tin can. But at 800 baht a day it’s a good deal. Otherwise a good full automatic sedan is enough to deal with the roads as long as you don’t venture into side tracks.

Gas stations are plentiful, only a few accept credit cards, so be sure to have some cash with you.

On the mountain roads, trucks and buses can be agonisingly slow. Overtaking is an art you have to master if you don’t want to be stuck in dense black fumes for 10 minutes. There are no rules, Thais can overtake in curves, or just 200 meters from you. There is only one thing to do, stay on the left side as much you can and stop if necessary because the incoming car won’t.

Expect to be stopped by the police along the way (at least 3 times if you go to Chiang Rai). They may or may not check your papers, your car, yourself… just smile and hope they like the football team of your home country.

A number to remember : 1155, that’s the Tourist Police. In case of problems, they’re the ones you need to contact. Don’t let the local police handle your case.

Excursions Trekking Chiangmai

Highlights of Chiangmai by foot, elephant ride, bamboo rafting

Thailand is one of the most delightful places in south-east Asia, a land of idyllic beaches, tranquil bays, coral islands, spectacular mountains, valleys and primal forests, and is home to a warm-hearted and hospitable people. The striking and varied landscapes, from high rolling hills to undeveloped beaches, are a traveler’s paradise and cover a wide range of climates. There is plenty to see from a long, varied history and not least in a serious interest in food.

Chiang Mai‘s rich history goes back hundreds of years. Because of its prime location and fertile land, the valley that extends from the base ofSuthep Mountain to the Ping River was settled in early times by several different ethnic groups, including the hill tribe group know as the Lua tribe. Later, King Mengrai unified the different towns and villages into what came to be known as the Lanna Kingdom. In 1296, he fortified the fertile valley area with a rectangular shaped brick wall measuring 1.6 Kilometers (1 mile) wide, and 2.0 kilometers (1.25 miles) long.

There are many hill tribe people living in the mountainous districts surrounding Chiang Mai such as Omkoi, Mae Jam, Chiang Dao, and Mae Ai. Statistics reported by the Tribal Research Institute of Chiang Mai stated that in the year 1992 there were 1,049 hill tribe villages in the Chiang Mai province, constituting a total of 174,195 people. Of this amount, 106,116 were from the Karen tribe, 27,392 from the Lahu (Musur) tribe, 17,198 from the Hmong (Meo) tribe,10,873 from the Lisu tribe, 8,862 from the Lua tribe, 2,609 from the Akha tribe, 1,145 from the Mien (Yao) tribe, and 485 from the Palong tribe.

The hill tribe people are agricultural; planting fields, raising animals, and hunting for a living. Since each tribe has its own culture and language, they blanket the hills of Chiang Mai with an interesting patchwork quilt of diverse variety. Whether you are mountain hiking or mountain biking,Chiangmai offers a variety of colours, cultures and scenery to ensure you get a different scene for everyday.

These following excursions Chiangmai trekking with a difference, from the quiet mountain villages stuck.  A superb mixture of the adventurous and cultural activities. This tour has it all with  diverse culture, good food and amazingly friendly locals.

We start Chiangmai trekking in the northwest  and work our way on foot, elephant ridding and adventurous bamboo rafting. The scenery on hiking is such you forget about time and distance as the surroundings become so fascinating. The ability to interact with the locals in the local markets and villages is a highlight of the trek and you will be left with an amazing feeling towards the Chiangmai trekking.
