Why go, and how to do it well

Aumpika Stationery Store is a practical, go-to stop for travelers and residents in Pai who need everyday supplies that can otherwise be difficult to track down in this small northern town. Notably, it appears to be one of the few places in the area where visitors can purchase yoga mats, and the store carries a reasonable range of art supplies including watercolour paints, brushes, and paper — useful for creatively inclined travelers passing through.

Beyond art materials, the shop stocks general stationery, markers, and electronics such as power banks, making it a useful all-rounder when supplies run low on the road. Staff have been described by visitors as warm and helpful, though experiences can vary depending on the day. The store is compact but covers most basic stationery needs reasonably well for a town of Pai's size.

Some visitors have reported receiving faulty pens and encountering a strict no-refund policy, so it is worth testing items such as markers before purchasing where possible. The store is open seven days a week, with weekday hours starting at 07:30 and weekend hours from 08:00, closing at 18:00 each day. Arriving earlier in the day gives more time to browse and ask staff for assistance locating specific items.

Reviews from Google

Wow! Thought it would be way worse. Came to find water painting, brushes and papers and I did find what I looked for. The sellers were warm and helpful with all my questions and requests. In my country I would pay x3 than this store. You can find here all the equipment you need for Pai. Glad I found this place and exactly what I wanted ✨ Thank you 🙏🏻

Pretty much everything you might need stationary wise in Pai.

SCAM ALERT - some of their pens (Sharpie, for example) do not work. They have a strict no refund policy and they get angry if you try to change for a working pen. They may be trying to sell expired old stock they bought before covid, I'm not sure. TEST PENS BEFORE YOU BUY
