Chiang Mai → Pai: key facts

Getting from Chiang Mai Airport (CNX) to Pai takes about 2h 25min by car on an empty road (2h 25min – 3h in heavy traffic) over 133 km via 1095 and 107. Our private transfer costs €95 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €140 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits in the arrival hall of the terminal your flight lands at, international or domestic, at the exit after baggage claim (and, on international flights, after immigration and customs), holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Pai is a small town in a mountain valley of Mae Hong Son province, north-west of Chiang Mai. From the airport the route goes north through Mae Rim and Mae Taeng on Route 107, then turns west onto Route 1095, a narrow mountain road famous for its hundreds of tight bends across the ranges. The distance is about 130 km and the trip normally takes three hours or a little more; short stops along the way help passengers prone to travel sickness.

The town centre is a compact grid of streets near the Pai River, with guesthouses, cafes and an evening walking street market along Chaisongkhram and Rangsiyanon roads. Many resorts and bungalows are spread across the valley outside town, reached by small paved roads. Pai Canyon, a set of narrow eroded ridges, lies about 8 km south on the road back to Chiang Mai, and the Tha Pai hot springs are a short drive south-east. Nights in the cool season from December to February can be chilly, while the rainy season brings mist and occasional landslides on the mountain road.
