Over the last couple of decades the little town of Pai has been transformed from a sleepy place, steeped in Shan culture, to one of northern Thailand’s main draws. With spectacular mountain ranges punctuated by rushing rivers tantalizingly close to the main tourist quarter, it is not difficult to determine the appeal of the Pai area. In particular, the town has become a hub for thrill-seekers, with several adventures lying in wait amidst the surrounding splendor. One such excursion is a rafting odyssey along the Pai River to the town of Mae Hong Son. The river is one of the best in Thailand for river rafting with an alluring combination of calm waters perfect for observing the stunning scenery and exhilarating rapids where the only option is to hold on tight and enjoy the ride. With a night in a peaceful jungle camp interspersing an action packed two-day adventure, it’s a rip-roaring ride that more than justifies its popularity.
