Why you NEED to AVOID Pai, Thailand | Mae Hong Son Loop 2024

In this video we hit the road on a rental motorbike and head North of Chiang Mai to the first stop on the Mae Hong Son loop, Pai. Quickly our trip takes an unexpected turn when we stumble across an A330 plane at the side of the road, where we grab a coffee before riding the winding mountain road to the backpacker town of Pai. We grab food at a cat cafe, see the white buddha and see what burning season is really like as it kicks off in the region. While we really enjoyed being in Pai, and the giant white buddha was absolutely stunning, it's clear that burning season is not a time to come to Pai if you want to see it in its full, gorgeous, glory.
