Why go, and how to do it well

Located on Chalsongkram Road in the heart of Pai, this travel agency functions as a practical one-stop for independent travelers needing to arrange onward transport or explore the surrounding Mae Hong Son region. The minivan service connecting Pai and Chiang Mai is the standout offering — a roughly three-and-a-half-hour journey through winding mountain roads that visitors consistently describe as comfortable, punctual, and safely driven. Tickets purchased in person at the Pai office are available for 150 baht per person on the Pai to Chiang Mai route.

Beyond transport, AYA Service organizes guided day trips to local attractions including Lod Cave and Pai Canyon. Reviewers highlight professional guides and well-run excursions, making this a reasonable option for travelers who want structure without committing to a larger tour operator. The agency also handles the Chiang Mai to Pai direction, so roundtrip bookings through the same provider are straightforward.

Experience hints

Reviews from Google

150 baht if you book in person from the Pai to Chiang Mai minivan - can’t beat it!! I traveled with AYA roundtrip to Pai twice and had a great experience every time! It is about a 3.5 hour journey with a 15 min rest stop half way for a bathroom break. They leave on time and drive safely. 3 out of the 4 times I had this sweet and iconic driver, I forget his name but he was awesome! He says he’s been driving everyday for 20 years 🫨🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 what a king!!

I used the service to get from CM to Pai and back. Everything worked well, I had a safe trip and the driver was on time. Everything as expected. Can recommend and would always use it again

Service similar to the public bus station just a few meters away. Be very careful to check the time on your ticket. I asked for 9:30 but they wrote 8:30, and since I didn’t double-check, I missed my bus. There was absolutely no flexibility or refund, and they didn’t even try to help. Their reaction was very disrespectful — they almost laughed at me while I was literally crying. In short, make sure you carefully check your ticket.
