History of Pai

Pai is a charming town nestled in the mountains of northern Thailand. With a population of approximately 2,500 residents, Pai exudes a peaceful and laid-back atmosphere, making it a popular destination for both local and international travelers.​

Pai has a rich history that dates back centuries, originally settled by the Shan people, an ethnic group from Myanmar. Later, it became a part of the ancient Lanna Kingdom and experienced influences from various cultures and civilizations.

Despite its growing popularity, Pai has managed to retain much of its original charm. Traditional hill tribe villages, such as the Karen, Hmong, and Lisu, can still be found in the surrounding hills, providing visitors with opportunities to experience their unique customs and traditions.
