Call of the Wild

Pai,
The pastoral town in Mae Hong Son
province nestled in the northern mountains of Thailand,
has become a base camp for eco-explorers of all ages, with trekking
and staying over at hill-tribe villages, whitewater rafting and
mountain biking being some of the most attractive options. Close
to this town are waterfalls and rolling green hills. And the town
itself offers a wealth of classes in everything from Reiki to traditional
massage to various New Age disciplines. A favourite haunt for young
travelers, Pai is slowly moving more up market thanks to its new
airport.

But its increasing popularity has yet to sully the towns
tranquil charm, art galleriescum- coffee shops in century-old wooden
dwellings, and riverside bungalows in every price range.
