Thai Food at Pai Night Market

One thing that you can not miss while being at Pai Night Market is the yummy food, especially delicious Thai food. Actually this is one thing that makes this night market better than Chiang Mai Night Market. You will have ample food options both Thai and Western at street side stalls as well as restaurants that open late in night on Pai Walking street.

Shopping at Pai Night Market

This is another big plus point of Pai Night Market. You will have superb unique shopping opportunities especially jewellery, garments, handicrafts and magnets. Though it is a popular trend to write and send postcards from Pai but do not buy postcards from Night market. Postcards are again too pricey like 25 Bahts a piece. You can easily get at 7 Bahts per piece from shop just outside Pai Post Office. If you want to buy magnets, please go ahead. There were some really cool magnet designs at this market and we were tempted to buy more and more magnets.

Live Music Scene at Pai Night Market

This is another thing that sets Pai Night Market apart from all other Thailand Night Markets. There are lots of bars ans restaurants especially towards the end near Pai river and they have amazing live music scene. As you walk past them, you will be pulled by the sheer energy inside. People singing and dancing freely and even smiling and inviting you in is something that will give beats to your soul.

Pai Walking Street has been an amazing experience for us. Even though it is tailor cut for tourists, still you will find the place amusing and calm. Walk till the end when you reach the wooden bridge on Pai river and stand there hearing the sound of river flow and cold breeze hitting your face.
