Restaurants in Pai
1. Chillax
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 10 reviews
Chillax bar & restaurant is a 5 minute drive out of Pai, over the bridge where 'Don't Cry' is, take the next left after the bridge and follow the road for 800m. Delicious Western, Thai food and coffee available 8AM-late, and at night time the tree lights set a beautiful ambiance and the bar comes alive! If you fancy kicking back and chilling out, head up stairs to the loft area with mountain view! A great environment to meet new people, have a dance and enjoy yourself :). Friendly staff with great service, and you wont be disappointed with the food! Fresh wholewheat bread & roselle kombucha available. Come say hey! :)

This was a great spot to take a break from wandering the night market and have a good, local beer! Beer list looked pretty extensive for the ones they stocked in cans and bottles, and Hoegaarden is on tap. I had a Thai craft IPA the bartender recommended and was not disappointed.

Amazing scenery and superb views. Be careful because there are some steep trails and the trails can be slippery after rain.

Nice gentle hike most of the way, one steep incline for ~10 minutes near the top, took about 2 and a half hours to get to the top, easy path to follow up along the river with many crossings of ankle deep water. Fun climb up along the side of the waterfall. Bear in mind there's no where to buy food/drink so best to carry your own. It rained on our way to the bottom and things did get a little slippery, all the more fun for us since it wasn't steep at that point. Not a difficult hike, would definitely recommend!
5. The Land Split

For the price of a donation you can enter this local farm and walk through the massive split caused by an earthquake. It's very interesting to see, and fun to walk through. We saw some pretty interesting lizards along the way. After the walk the owners kindly invite you to sit and enjoy some of their homegrown products, such as roselle juice and jam, banana and papaya, tamarind, delicious banana chips and tiger peanuts, all of which you can also buy from them. It was a very nice experience

Walking street is great for food and a bit of shopping . The options are endless ! You can get great vegan food , vegetarian food, Thai food, Indian food, Mexican food,healthy food and more ! The prices are great (I got a vege burger for £1.90) I eat on walking street most nights as you can try something different every night and I’ve been here for nearly 3 weeks

We were there just at sunset and saw the monks. Very pretty. You can take the songtheuw truck up from town at 30 pp or, drive up. This drive is excellent practice if you want to scooter up to Pai!
