Pai is a little town a few hours from Chiang Mai that we both kept hearing about, and it was along our route back from Mae Hong Son so we decided to spend a few nights. I was a bit surprised by how little there actually was to do there. It's set in a nice valley surrounded by forest and mountains but there's not much in the way of nature activities. There was nice restaurants at least but generally I wouldn't recommend it.
We got unlucky with our accommodation here as we decided to splurge a little for a place with a nice pool. After arriving, being told the pool opening and closing times, and paying, we then were told that no actually the pool is closed.
We had big thunderstorms each night which were fun to watch. At some points there was almost constant flashing from all directions.
