Chiang Mai to Pai 2-Day Tour: Escape the City, Embrace the Wild
Tired of Chiang Mai’s crowds? In just two days, find waterfalls, caves, and serene villages that soothe your soul.
Too much city, too little serenity? Our Chiang Mai to Pai 2-Day Tour is your solution. This short escape is perfect for travelers needing a reset—a gentle plunge into nature and rural charm.
Day 1: Escape begins at 08:00 AM with pickup from your Chiang Mai hotel. The road to Pai offers a green welcome, with your first stop at Mok Fa Waterfall—a cool forest retreat where noise gives way to birdsong. Next, absorb the tranquility of Huay Nam Dang National Park, where layers of jungle roll into the horizon. Arrive in Pai for a local lunch, then visit Santichon Village, where Yunnan traditions live on in architecture and food. Based on the season, we’ll head to Tha Pai Hot Spring for a soothing soak or to Mo Paeng Waterfall to cool off. Sunset invites you to Phra That Mae Yen Temple—or if you’re tired, take in the view from Two Huts Pai instead. The night is yours at Pai Walking Street and a restful stay at Yoma Hotel.
Day 2: Feel renewed? Good, because we’re heading to Pang Mapha District. Your bamboo raft glides into Tham Lod Cave, its vast chambers echoing with natural wonder and ancient history. Enjoy lunch at a quiet local village, then take a relaxed coffee break at Coffee in Love or your guide’s favorite café. Later, stretch your legs at Pai Canyon and reflect at the historic Tha Pai Memorial Bridge before heading back to Chiang Mai by 6:00 PM—transformed.
Need to unplug fast? This 2-day tour swaps screens for scenery, and busy streets for breezy trails. With all logistics handled, you’ll explore Pai’s best spots—waterfalls, caves, villages—while reconnecting with yourself.
