This little river is probably more spectacular when after a great deluge it rampages down its bed, but I happened to be in Pai just a month or so before the start of the rainy season, when it was barely flowing, sleepily expecting its glory days to come, nothing spectacular to rave about. More

I love Pai and cant fault it, the rivers not amazing, its not clean but its calm and goes with the relaxing atmosphere that Pai has. You can raft down it or sit in the restaurants and chill by it, up to you. More
