#hikingtime Pai Canyon, known locally as Kong Lan, offers one of the most exhilarating hiking experiences in Northern Thailand. With its stunning panoramic views, narrow trails, and dramatic landscapes, Pai Canyon is a must-visit for adventurers and nature lovers exploring the region. Challenging Trails and Breathtaking Scenery The trails at Pai Canyon are both challenging and rewarding. The paths are narrow, sometimes just a few feet wide, with steep drops on either side, which adds a thrilling element to the hike. As you navigate these ridges, you are treated to expansive views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, particularly mesmerizing at sunrise or sunset when the sky is painted in vibrant hues. Ideal for Photography Pai Canyon is a photographer's paradise. The unique terrain, characterized by deep reds and browns of the eroded soil, contrasts beautifully with the lush greenery that sprouts after the rainy season. The natural beauty and dramatic contours of the landscape provide endless opportunities for capturing stunning photographs that encapsulate the rugged charm of Northern Thailand. Visitor Tips - Safety First: The paths can be quite narrow and slippery, especially after rain. Wear sturdy footwear and proceed with caution. - Visit at Golden Hour: For the best views and photography lighting, plan your hike around sunrise or sunset. The cooler temperatures during these times also make for a more comfortable trek. - Bring Essentials: There are no facilities at Pai Canyon, so bring water, snacks, and sunscreen. A hat and sunglasses will also make your hike more comfortable. Perfect Spot for a Sunset Many visitors and locals flock to Pai Canyon to catch the sunset, which is nothing short of spectacular from this vantage point. The sun dipping below the horizon bathes the entire area in golden light, creating a magical atmosphere that's perfect for ending a day of exploration. #PaiCanyon #AdventureThailand #SunsetViews #HikingThailand #PaiAdventure

Kong Lan, an interesting tourist attraction in Pai District, Mae Hong Son Province, has another name "Pai Canyon", which comes from the terrain that is similar to the Grand Canyon, but is located in Pai District, so it is called "Pai Canyon". It is another place that you must visit when you come to Pai. You have to walk up for a long time. There are many stairs, it is tiring, but when you reach the viewpoint, it is not tired at all. The view is very beautiful, it is so beautiful that you should come in the morning before the sun rises or in the evening near the sunset. If you come during the day, the sun will be blazing. As you know, everything has its own time, but you have to walk carefully because it is quite high. If you fall, you will die. If anyone likes nature tourism mixed with excitement, I highly recommend this place. The viewpoint full of mountains in the middle of the sunset is charming in a different way. There are many foreigners. The way up is a bit difficult, but the atmosphere is definitely good. The view is very beautiful, I tell you.

Kong Lan (Pai Canyon): Pai Canyon, Pai, Mae Hong Son A small town in the valley that we know well, Pai in Mae Hong Son Province, is considered to have many beautiful natural tourist attractions, including national parks, rivers, waterfalls, hot springs, or even beautiful places like Kong Lan or the place that is nicknamed Pai Canyon. That makes green tourists who love nature visit continuously. 📍Kong Lan or Pai Canyon is about 7 km away from Pai District along the Pai - Mae Malai route. The word Kong Lan comes from the local language. Kong means road, a route used for travel. Lan means monitor lizard (monitor lizard). When combined, Kong Lan means a narrow and small path for monitor lizards. Kong Lan is a tourist attraction that was created naturally from the erosion of wind and rain until it became a small path on the mountain ridge, amidst the mountains and beautiful atmosphere similar to Pae Mueang Phi in Phrae Province. You can walk around the path in a circle and see the beauty all around in 360 degrees. It is a top highlight for people who visit Pai. For watching the sunrise and sunset in the same place. It is also the filming location of the movie Pai In Love. There is even a sign set up as a souvenir for tourists to come and take cool photos. 📍Address: Pai Canyon, Kong Lan, Mae Hee Subdistrict, Pai District, Mae Hong Son Province Coordinates: https://goo.gl/maps/kY23jiBRSdgHxvvZ8 Open for visits: Every day #Kong Lan Pai #Thailand #PaiMaeHongSon #PaiTravel

One of the highlights of Pai, north of Chang Mai. If you go to Pai, be sure to check out #PaiCanyon

Enough of the little town of pai, the food in pai why not head out right outside of pai towards the pai canyon which is only a short 12mins drive down south from the little village of pai. The Pai Canyon is a tourists attraction, and although this is a tourists attraction this place is free to visit, if you do not have a transport from the pai village you can also rent a motorbike for only 150baht but utmost care is recommended. Do remember when doing this hike, do wear a good pair of walking shoes as the hike after the 1st view points can get abit scary as the hike has an unprotected hiking path where the drops can be scary if you miss a footing. But most people come here for the scenic panoramic sunset from above but the further you hike in, the more quiet and pristine it gets. Trust me! #fallingforfall #pai #hikinginpai #changmai #thailand #hiking #attractions #scenic #view #sunset

Thailand's Grand Canyon! ? That's a bit of an exaggeration (lol) You can walk freely along the narrow paths that remain due to erosion! It's a world of complete self-responsibility! lol But on the other hand, it's a tourist spot where you can enjoy nature as it is. One wrong step and you'll fall into the valley, but if you're careful, it's less scary than it looks in the photos! Tourist spot name: Pai canyon Address: 8F43+F22, Mae Hi, Pai District, Mae Hong Son 58130 Thailand Access: 15 minutes by scooter from the center of Pai #Thailand #ThailandTrip #ChiangMai #Pai #PaiCanyon #World'sMostBreathtakingViews

As I know Pai is a one of the Peace city that many foreigners would like to visit and live here too. For me, I think this city is the one that you can escape from chaos, before I come here I think this city is very countryside, after I came and visit here there is many things and some modern things that you can find right here.😇😇😇There is a one of my favorite places where I can find PEACE ☮️ and this place is a kind of country side Cafe with specific and special menu, not too much choice that you can order, I would recommend you India Masala milk tea 🧋 and Dirty espresso ☕️, taste of these are really great. Come and enjoy your trip🥳🥳🥳

#VisitMaeHongSon #PaiTravel #PaiCanyon #NatureAttractions #MissNature #ForestTrip #MaeHongSon #VisitThailandLikeAbroad #VisitNationalParks #HikingTrip #NortheastTeam Location: Kong Lan or Pai Canyon, Pai District, Mae Hong Son Province. Kong Lan is the original name that Pai people call it, meaning the path of monitor lizards. I don't know if it's true or not, but what I saw with my own eyes was a natural phenomenon that created cracks in the soil and rock layers. The path will have cracks. There will be signs prohibiting entry at points where you can't walk. The path looks strange. You should try to come and visit. Walk slowly at each point. I don't recommend it if you're afraid of heights. Even when I walked by myself, I felt scared at some points where there were a lot of cracks. I recommend coming during the weak sunlight in the morning or 3 pm. It will be easier to walk and not too hot. Wear shoes with non-slip heels and good grip on the ground. Be careful not to slip and slide. The path will be sandy. If you come during the rainy season, I don't recommend it.

Address 8F43+F22, Mae Hi, Pai District, Mae Hong Son 58130 Thailand How to get there Rent a motorbike, apply for a tour (join tour, 200 baht per person) Tip! The road(?) of Pai Canyon is really narrow and dangerous The further you go inside from the entrance, the fewer people there are, and the view is a little prettier, but I didn't feel much difference from the entrance! There is a great photo spot near the entrance, and the sunset you can see from the entrance is really beautiful In my case, I took the risk and went inside, but I couldn't feel much difference from the entrance, so I came back to the entrance and watched the sunset! #Couples #HotPlace #PaiCanyon #PaiTravel #ThailandTravel #RecommendedThailandTravelDestination #Pai #ThailandHotPlace #PaiCanyon

#Sunset Spot Pai, a 3-hour drive from Chiang Mai, Thailand! A mecca for backpackers and a place where you can see Thailand's unique natural landscape The best place to see the sunset in Pai! That's Pai Canyon, also known as Pai Canyon! Most tourists rent motorcycles to travel to Pai, so you can visit Pai Canyon by motorcycle :) 20 minutes from downtown Pai by motorcycle! However, when returning to the city after the sun has set it can be too dark and dangerous so it is recommended to return to the city before the sun has completely set! On the day you visit Pai Canyon, you absolutely must wear sneakers! The canyon itself has a lot of sand and the path is narrow and steep, so sandals and slippers are very dangerous ㅠ #PaiCanyon #ThailandTravel #PaiTravel #ChiangMai

Kong Lan or Pai Canyon It is about 7 km away from Pai District along the Pai - Mae Malai route. The word Kong Lan comes from the local language. Kong means road, a route used for travel. Lan means monitor lizard. When combined, Kong Lan means a narrow and small path for monitor lizards. Kong Lan is a tourist attraction that was naturally formed by erosion from wind and rain until it became a small path on the mountain ridge, amidst the mountains and beautiful atmosphere similar to the ghost town of Phae Muang in Phrae Province.

#Pai Travel I visited Pai during this time. It is a mecca for hippies.... Currently, there is only one bus a day to Pai. 11 AM I was worried because the road to Pai is famous for being rough, but guess what? I didn't feel even a gram of motion sickness. At least I was fine. People who get motion sickness badly should definitely take motion sickness medicine. After checking passports at the entrance of Pai, we went into Pai. Pai also doesn't have many tourists. Banjabo sunrise is nice. There is only one restaurant operating on the cliff (not so good) Pai Canyon is also empty.....ㅋㅋ Right now, there are almost no people in the tourist destination. Still, Pai is quiet and leisurely, so I really like it. I stayed for 3 nights and 4 days, but my recommendation is Banjabo The rest is near Pai city, so I recommend renting a motorbike and going around (100 baht per day). This place would be perfect for a week. Anyway, the pie was good.

Pai is well known as a laid back mountain town set in a pretty valley with a bohemian atmosphere. It’s a great place to try out some of the nearby activities like bamboo rafting and elephant trekking. It’s also a great destination to just come and chill out and soak up the ambience. The walking street market comes alive at night and is a fantastic spot for shopping and cheap eats. There are numerous cafes, bars and restaurants, and if you come to party you won’t be disappointed. #scenicspotphotoguide#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Pai Canyon is a natural attraction famous for its unique terrain and stunning views. The narrow dirt road leading through the canyon is a bit thrilling, but once you reach the top, the expansive mountain and valley scenery is spectacular. Especially when you visit around sunset, the sky turns red and the red dirt of the canyon creates a very impressive scene. It is a place visited by many travelers because it is easily accessible and can be easily accessed as a trekking course, and it was also the perfect place to take pictures. #HawaiiFlightEvent

Pai is a small town located over the mountains from Chiang Mai by motorbike or bus. The most impressive place was Pai Canyon. Locally known as "Kong Lan", this place has many thin ridges, and you can walk to a great view. It's a spectacular view, but it's not too touristy. The unstable footing reminds you of the natural scenery. As the sun sets, the sky changes from orange to purple, and the time to just stop and look felt more luxurious than anything else. ⸻ 📍Location Pai Canyon (Kong Lan) About 10-15 minutes by motorbike or car from the center of Pai *Accessible by rental motorbike or songthaew (shared truck) ⏰Opening hours Open 24 hours (but safe during the day to evening) *The evening is a popular time, so arrive 30 minutes early! 💸Entry fee Free ⸻ 🌟Recommended points ・The sky and silhouette at dusk are really beautiful ・Walking along the ridge path is a bit thrilling, but it's also fun ・There are a lot of tourists, but you can find a quiet space to look at it ⸻ #Pai #PaiCanyon #NorthernThailand #Amazingsunset #Mountainsandsky #Healingnature

#Bye #Bye Canyon This is the view of Bye Canyon after visiting on a half-day tour. The weather was hot and I had a hard time, but looking at the setting sun, my fatigue went away.

1. The sunset at Pai Canyon is so mystical! 🌄🔥 The moment the sun sets over the magnificent scenery of the reddish-brown rock faces is truly spectacular! You're sure to be overwhelmed by the beauty of nature as you walk along the narrow trail. 👉 Arrive before sunset and enjoy the spectacular view all to yourself on the edge of the cliff! Sneakers are a must as it's slippery👟 2. The Pai Night Market is so stylish and delicious! 🍢🛍️ Pai's night market is a treasure trove of street food! Not only mango sticky rice, Thai crepes, and pad thai, but also many ethnic accessories and handmade goods. 👉 Peak time is around 7pm! It's best to go before it gets crowded. 3. Relax in a hot spring♨️🧖♀️ Pai has many natural hot springs! Thapae Hot Springs is a secret hot spring in the jungle. The best chill time to be healed by the sounds of nature while soaking in a river-like hot spring! 👉 Swimsuits are a must! If you go early in the morning, it may be reserved for you◎ 4. A spectacular view and healing experience from the "White Buddha" ✨🛕 The giant white Buddha on top of the mountain, "White Buddha", is a great spot to look down on Pai! When you reach the top of the stairs, you will feel the silence and refreshing breeze that will make you want to meditate. 👉 The best time is at sunrise or sunset! If you are wearing a skirt or shorts, bring a cloth to cover your shoulders and knees. 5. "Cafes and guesthouses surrounded by the jungle" are photogenic 🌿☕ Pai is dotted with cafes and bungalows surrounded by nature. It is a blissful moment to enjoy fresh juice and local coffee while swaying in a hammock! 👉 "Strawberry Farm" and "Coffee In Love" are sure to be Instagram-worthy📸 ➡️ Tips: ✅ The road from Chiang Mai to Pai is winding, so if you get car sick easily, bring motion sickness medicine! ✅ Motorbike rental is recommended! You can rent it for about 150B (about 600 yen) a day, which increases your freedom🚲 ✅ Many local restaurants only accept cash, so it's a good idea to have enough baht on hand💰 ✅ Weekdays are the best because it gets crowded on weekends! You can enjoy the night market more leisurely on weekdays👀 Pai is the ultimate healing spot packed with the charms of "nature x relaxation x local"! Refresh your mind and body in this laid-back Thai countryside town, which is different from the chaotic Bangkok and Chiang Mai🌺🌿 #Traveling Abroad Tips #Thailand #Pai #Asia Travel

#thailandtrip Wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, comfortable shoes, take water and don't go when it's hot. The place is beautiful, but you have to walk along the ridges and sand. The views are breathtaking! Beautiful nature! There are pine trees. Somewhere it's easy, somewhere difficult and scary! But it's definitely worth seeing!Great place for sunset. Entrance is free but there is a box where you can donate 1 baht. The hike up is only 3min. Wear nice shoes if you want to go further into the canyon because the way is very slippery. There is a lot of people at this time because all the tours come here but you have plenty of space if you go further so it’s fine.

I highly recommend you to see the fantastic moment of the setting sun, the yellow earthen ground, and the valley in Pai. It may seem dangerous, but it is not dangerous at all, and you can safely enjoy the beautiful and heart-warming moment. Happiness will come to you at that moment. #ThailandTravel #PaiCanyon #PaiTravel #PaiHotPlace #Pai

We rode our motorbikes to Pai in December. This year, the atmosphere was perfect. It was so cold but we loved the challenge. We woke up early to see the scenery as you can see in the pictures and had coffee up there. It was so romantic. But it wasn't just us. There were also smart dogs following us and taking care of us. They were so cute. #ChiangMaiTravel #Trip #MaeHongSon

In recent years, Pai, Thailand, has become very popular with backpackers. Pai Canyon is especially popular. The cliffs here are similar to the Grand Canyon in the United States, and it is called "Pai Canyon." It has become a tourist destination. Before I went, I was worried that I could only get there by motorbike. But don't worry! There was a local tour. There are tours that go around various tourist spots, but I only went to Pai! I took the evening tour. The bus to the canyon takes about 30 minutes. Of course, there is a parking lot for those who go by motorbike (9th photo). They will drop you off at the entrance and you can walk there. The bus will wait for about an hour and a half, and you will have free time. When you arrive at the canyon, it is truly a cliff!! It wasn't that dangerous, but there are some steep slopes, so wear sneakers 👟 Also, the soil is clayey, so wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty! 👚 There are no tall buildings around, so it was a luxurious time to slowly watch the sunset sinking between the mountains. 📍Location: Pai Canyon 8F43+F22, Mae Hi, Pai District, Mae Hong Son 58130 Thailand 🕰️Opening hours: 6:00-19:00 💰Price per person: 100THB Pai is very popular right now 🇹🇭Please refer to it 🩷 #Overseas hot spots #Thailand #Pai #PaiCanyon

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 This is a great thing for those who need a little adrenaline to get them through the day. Take a walk along the path along the ridge of Pai Canyon. The road is very narrow with steep hills on either side, making it difficult to overtake oncoming people! My advice is to go slow and look forward. Don't look down, and stop if you want to take a photo! Address: 8F43+F22, Mae Hi, Pai District, Mae Hong Son 58130 Thailand #ThailandTravel #Pai

I really don't like moving, and I really hate walking, trekking, and mountain climbing. The advantage of Pai Canyon trekking is that even beginners can enjoy it. And since you can't see the sights unless you walk between these places, I hope you visit as many places as possible by trekking. It was a very special experience in Pai. It's fun to sit here and watch other people walk. #January travel support event #Pai travel #Pai Canyon

Pai's famous attraction, Pai Canyon. It is also called the Grand Canyon of Thailand. It is a place where you can see the unique terrain and magnificent nature. It is a place that travelers who visit Pai must visit because of its interesting trekking course. It was scary at first, but later it wasn't scary at all. It's so beautiful and enchanting. #January travel support event #Pai travel

#DecemberTravelSupportEvent A really amazing place in Pai, Chiang Mai, Thailand! 👍👍👍👍This is a place called Pai Canyon, and it was really amazing. It was a place where red sand formed a canyon, so it was really pretty. And this place is really famous as a sunset spot, so it seems like many people come at sunset. A place I really recommend 🍑
