Pai Authentic Travel

We had an excellent day out in early Nov with Pai Authentic Travel on their 1-day tour to 9 local sights around Pai, including the Sai Ngam natural hot springs in the north. The tour was THB400 pp, plus we paid an extra THB430 total for entry tickets (hot springs B300, waterfall B100 (both were together on 1 ticket for B400) & bamboo bridge B30). They picked us up in a songthaew from our hotel at about 10am & dropped us back at 6.30pm after watching the picturesque sunset at Pai Canyon. Our driver was safe, polite & helpful, & we used Google translate to communicate, which was fine. Simple Thai lunch with water was included at a little local restaurant on route, and smoothies/coffees/water could be bought at Coffee Stop (a bit too busy there, so we drove on) or at Bamboo Bridge (the latter was better, less of a queue & a lovely open setting in the rice fields). Overall it was a great way to see the local highlights & meet some lovely fellow travellers (aged 25-60). We booked the tour in their friendly office on walking street just the night before. We highly recommend this tour.

We booked full day tour which was very organized and many attractions. The driver was very pleasant and drove safely. Only recommendation is to extend the time in the hot springs maybe instead of the Chinese village or the white Buddha

I purchased a bus ticket to Chiang Rai for 600 baht. In the morning when the bus came to take me they made me pay an extra 200 baht for my suitcase, and they didn’t mention that when I bought the ticket. They told me that if I want I can cancel now and go with someone else, I ended up paying 800baht for this ride, when I actually get the ticket because it was “cheaper”… I do not recommend
