Pai, Thailand 2024 ✌️☮️ Hidden Hippie Paradise 🌈 in Northern Thailand

Join Mike and Angela on their journey through the lush landscapes of Northern Thailand, in search of a hidden hippie paradise known as Pai. They leave the bustling streets of Chiang Mai behind and venture up into the heart of the mountains, navigating the famous Mae Hong Son Loop with its breathtaking vistas and some 762 serpentine curves.

Explore Pai's night market and open-air bars, before renting a motor scooter to explore the serene countryside, visiting unique attractions such as the Boon Ko Koo So bamboo bridge and various local temples. We'll explore popular spots like the Yun Lai Viewpoint, Mor Paeng Waterfall, and the mildly treacherous Pai Canyon, very generously dubbed "The Grand Canyon of Thailand."

Additional highlights include a short climb up to Pai's majestic Big Buddha statue, offering panoramic views that are well worth the effort, and peaceful sunrises and sunsets at "Two Huts," where the essence of Pai comes to life.

Whether you're a seasoned traveler or planning your first trip to Thailand, this video promises a glimpse into a world where nature's beauty meets laid-back lifestyle and adventure.

This is simply one of the best Pai videos in youtube. Must take quite a lot of work to edit such a wonderful piece. I biked to Pai 22 years ago, when most visitors were Thai youths and along the way there were not cafes or 7-11 at all. Arrived in Pai at 8 pm and was so tired that I decided not to do any exploring. The next morning was biking to Maehong son, arriving there at 8.30 pm. Again so tired and did not explore anything. It was a regret that it took me 7 days to complete Maehongson loop but I did not explore anything due to being too tired each day/night. Now I am 72, will drive the same route by car and this time I promise myself to enjoy each destination fully and will take about 2 weeks to complete the loop. Come December this year is my schedule.

Greetings to the two of you! I had commented & conversed with you when you were on Koh Mak. So...my wife and I are actually heading back to Thailand in September for 58 days! 😊 At some point, we are headed to Pai, and I'm so glad to see your video! Always the top-shelf of any travel vids out there & we appreciate it! It seems we keep following you around the country...lol! Remember me writing about Mak-shock? 😂
Thanks for yet another professional & wonderful video on the Land of Smiles...🙏 I will be relying heavily on your vids as we poke around Thailand for a couple of months. ❤

I have been to pai six times and completely love it every time. It’s my spiritual home !

Great video! The best I've seen on YouTube and a refreshing change not to focus on all the 18-30 year old things to do, as I am no longer in that age category myself. I'm in Pai right now. What time of the year did you visit and record this? The weather looks perfect.

I have been to Pai in January 2023, but it was just a day trip from Chiang Mai. We visited 4 or 5 place including Chinese village. But then I was not aware about the place called two Huts. This place looks so beautiful. Now I regret why I did not stayed in Pai at least for 3 or 4 days ? Why ?? But will get back there one day for detail trip. Thanks for lovely video & Good Luck 💞

Excellent! This is one of the best, and most intelligent, travel Vlogs/commentaries I have ever watched. Great job!

[LiamTravels]

Pai is seriously one of the most magical places in Northern Thailand — I just posted a full travel vlog showing the canyons, temples, waterfalls, and hidden gems we explored 🌄🇹🇭 If you’re planning a trip or just curious, feel free to check it out!

[anyplaceadventures]

Thanks for this really good video, great quality

[lucavc]

The production quality & commentary were fantastic wow!! I hope this video blows up because you definitely deserve it! 👏👏

[meowtrox]

Hi where do you park your car in Pai? Are there parking establishments?

[pamrawlings]

I love hitching a ride with you guys as you travel the world. My husband and I, he being much older, can’t travel as far as we would love to. We go to 30A every yr, as one of our trips we do take, as we’ve done for 15 yrs., and we know of your good works in that area. It is changing there, a little too crowded these days. Again, love seeing your travels - stay safe and happy travels.

Wow! Such a great well rounded and informative vlog! thanks!
