The 10 Best Nightlife Spots in Pai, Ranked
Most of this lot sits on or just off the walking street, and it's a scruffy mix of draft beer bars, live music rooms and fire show spots rather than anything polished. JIKKO takes the top spot for its taps and pizza, though Pai Siam is the busiest. Cheap is the norm, with several barely nudging past a single baht sign.
