Workation in Pai: the essentials
A small town on the Pai River in Mae Hong Son province, Pai sits in a mountain valley near the Myanmar border, about 146 km north-west of Chiang Mai, whose international airport is the practical way in, on a road famous for its hundreds of bends. Backpackers have been coming for decades, and today people working remotely share the cafés and guesthouses with them. Hot springs, waterfalls and scooter loops through the hills fill the free hours, and the walking street market takes over the centre in the evening. Monthly rentals get scarce from November to February, and in March and April the burning season fills the valley with smoke. The town has only a few thousand residents, so a month or two is plenty for many.
