AYA Service PAI

Located on Chalsongkram Road in the heart of Pai, this travel agency functions as a practical one-stop for independent travellers 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 organises 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 travellers 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. Good to know: The office is open every day from 8 AM to 9 PM, making same-day bookings possible, though arriving earlier improves the chance of securing a preferred departure time. At least one visitor reported receiving a ticket with the wrong departure time printed — always check the time on your ticket before leaving the counter, as missed departures are not easily recovered.
