Travel at Pai

Pai is a predominantly tourism-oriented town, offering a relaxed atmosphere with a broad traveller and
backpacker
scene. In early 2006 a sudden boom in guesthouse and bar construction has resulted in a great deal
of spare capacity — capacity that is partially taken up by an increase in Thai people visiting after Pai was featured
in a romantic Thai film. There are now around 200 guesthouses and hotels in Pai, and the city center has
transformed into containing western style restaurants, souvenir shops, and bars that cater largely to the now
significant influx of tourists and package tours.
