ABOUT PAI ADVENTURES

Pai Adventures has been operating since 1990 and started out solely as a rafting and trekking business. Since we purchased the company in 2016 we have added jungle survival and caving adventures. All our adventures are in the Soppong jungle between Pai and Mae Hong Son. Most of the trekking outfitters in Pai only trek the nearby areas surrounding Pai. We go the extra mile to get you to the most beautiful area around. You travelled half way around the world to see the best parts of the jungle not just what is convenient. At Pai Adventures we strive to give you an adventure of a lifetime. We want you to experience exactly what you came to see.

All of our adventures are unique and hard to duplicate. We do not take you to tourist traps or mock villages. Our hill-tribes are real and our guides are authentic hill-tribesmen who are masters of their environment.

TESTIMONIALS

1 day rafting, 2 day trekking

Reviewed  15 June 2017

Booked: 1 day rafting, 2 day trekking. Beginning of raining season. The rafting was in a easy 45 km stream with some (not so white water) rapids. It took about 7 hours on the water. Very beautiful and nice to be enjoying nature this way. No real rush since the water is not that high in June. We hiked the first day to the Tiger cave. Normal hiking through the woods and river (Yes, you get wet). At one point we were asked to take the easy or hard road. We chose the hard road and it was pretty heavy climbing. Even a little dangerous with the mud and narrow, steep jungle paths and rocks. After 8 hours hiking and climbing (approximately 15 km) we arrived at the second village where we spent the night in a bungalow with mattresses on the ground. It was hard but so beautiful! Absolutely worth it!

2 days hiking + 1 day rafting

We would highly recommend this organisation! Both days the track is 15 km, prepare for proper climbs and challenging descending in a stunning scenery! We loved it. The guides know the area perfectly, cause they all grew up in the mountains there. They know how to hike in the jungle and get you at the end safe and sound. Our guide Jako spoke good English and could tell us everything about the area and the tribes. That gave an extra dimension to the trip. After the first day we slept at our guide’s house in a little mountain village. At Jako’s we had a good sleep. Also the food was perfect (and enough!) every day of the trip.
The second night we went camping. Equipment was good enough. The last day we went rafting (can be organized as a first day too, but we would’ve not preferred this). Water was medium high in June, in rain season it’s supposed to be much higher, but nonetheless we still had great fun! The guides know how to raft and how to make it more fun 🙂

Amazing Motorbike Hike

Reviewed 30 May 2017

Ed and his wife Pam are amazing people. I met Ed after stumbling into his shop while trying to find out what to do in Pai and it was the best thing I could have ever done. After meeting Ed and talking to him for 5 minutes, he volunteered to take me and my friend on a 2 hour motor biking trip into the jungle, free of charge, simply because he loves the ride and wanted to show other foreigners the beauty of the surrounding environment. On the hike, we saw breathtaking views with not a soul in sight, drove through private Thai farms and villages, and even found ourselves driving through several creeks/rivers in the middle of the jungle. It was truly an experience that I will never forget. THANK YOU PAI ADVENTURES!
