The Pai River
The Pai River traces its source to a mountain range far to the north in Myanmar. The river flows through North Thailand in Mae Hong Son province for approximately 180km, then follows its course back into Myanmar.
Between the district of Ban Nam Khong and Mae Hong Son town, the river flows through the Mae Surin wildlife sanctuary.
South of Mae Hong Son town, a flat section of the river runs all the way to the border village of Ban Nam Pieng Din. A boat trip can be taken down the river, starting from Ban Huai Dua, Tambon Pha Bong, about 6kms south of town. It's possible to charter local "long-tail boats".
The border village of Ban Nam Pieng Din is also home to some "long neck hill-tribe" people. ActiveThailand.com does not organize or recommend visits to this village.
