    Join Mike and Angela on their journey through the lush landscapes of Northern Thailand, in search of a hidden hippie paradise known as Pai. They leave the bustling streets of Chiang Mai behind and venture up into the heart of the mountains, navigating the famous Mae Hong Son Loop with its breathtaking vistas and some 762 serpentine curves.
    Explore Pai's night market and open-air bars, before renting a motor scooter to explore the serene countryside, visiting unique attractions such as the Boon Ko Koo So bamboo bridge and various local temples. We'll explore popular spots like the Yun Lai Viewpoint, Mor Paeng Waterfall, and the mildly treacherous Pai Canyon, very generously dubbed "The Grand Canyon of Thailand."
    Additional highlights include a short climb up to Pai's majestic Big Buddha statue, offering panoramic views that are well worth the effort, and peaceful sunrises and sunsets at "Two Huts," where the essence of Pai comes to life.
    Whether you're a seasoned traveler or planning your first trip to Thailand, this video promises a glimpse into a world where nature's beauty meets laid-back lifestyle and adventure.

    This is simply one of the best Pai videos in youtube. Must take quite a lot of work to edit such a wonderful piece. I biked to Pai 22 years ago, when most visitors were Thai youths and along the way there were not cafes or 7-11 at all. Arrived in Pai at 8 pm and was so tired that I decided not to do any exploring. The next morning was biking to Maehong son, arriving there at 8.30 pm. Again so tired and did not explore anything. It was a regret that it took me 7 days to complete Maehongson loop but I did not explore anything due to being too tired each day/night. Now I am 72, will drive the same route by car and this time I promise myself to enjoy each destination fully and will take about 2 weeks to complete the loop. Come December this year is my schedule.

    I love hitching a ride with you guys as you travel the world. My husband and I, he being much older, can’t travel as far as we would love to. We go to 30A every yr, as one of our trips we do take, as we’ve done for 15 yrs., and we know of your good works in that area. It is changing there, a little too crowded these days. Again, love seeing your travels - stay safe and happy travels.

      Thank you so much for your kind words!! Yes, while we LOVE our home on 30A, we always said that once we became empty-nesters (with our 4 healthy and happy children now evicted from the nest!), we would travel the world for as long as we could... so... here we are!!! I'm glad you are enjoying our stories and we have many more on the way.. (i hope!)... thank you again for the encouragement...

    How are those hippies enjoying the annual Fire and Smoke festival? Are we going to see such a clear blue sky as in your video when we visit now, or are we going to choke on smoke and PM 2.5? 😅. Great video. Beautiful. We will wait until the air clears up before going there.

    Pai Is really just kind of backpacker land. It has its merits but as a longtime foreigner living in SE Asia, I personally find the backpacker set pretty tiresome. OK, so that's just my own view. I'd suggest for someone looking for a more real kind of haven for people looking for good alternatives in northern Thailand the town of Chiang Dao, which is beautiful and not overrun by the obnoxious element.

    • @AroundTheWorldWeGo
      @AroundTheWorldWeGo  Před měsícem

      yes, while we really enjoyed Pai, it's def more of a tourist town... we can't WAIT to check out Chiang Dao based on your recommendation! THANK YOU
