10RAI sunsetviewcafe

Perched on a hillside in Mae Hi village a short ride from Pai town centre, this open-air cafe and bar sits at the edge of a working farm and has become a popular stop for travellers chasing northern Thailand's famously atmospheric sunsets. There is no entry fee to visit, and food and drinks are priced accessibly, making it an easy, low-commitment addition to any afternoon in the area. The vibe leans casual and social, with EDM music, a cannabis-friendly atmosphere, and an energy that draws a younger crowd looking to linger rather than rush. Visitors can expect a relaxed outdoor setting with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside, best appreciated in the late afternoon as the light shifts. Food and drinks are available, though at least one visitor notes the kitchen can be slow during busy periods, so arriving with patience — or ordering early — is advisable. The cafe functions equally well as a place for dinner, sundowners, or simply a seat to watch the sky change colour. Motorbikes are the dominant mode of arrival, which creates congestion around the parking area during peak hours. Good to know: The cafe opens daily at noon and closes at 8 PM, making it suited to late lunch, early dinner, or the sunset window, which typically falls between roughly 5:30 and 6:30 PM depending on the season. Arriving by 4:30 PM on busy days helps secure a good vantage point. The venue is most easily reached by motorbike from Pai town; those without transport should arrange a hire in advance.
