Pai
Located 83 miles (135km) up a coiled mountain road from Chiang
Mai, Pai is an unlikely tourist attraction. The town has undergone
a number of transitions from hill tribe village to hippie hideaway
to a tourist playground. Its relaxed atmosphere and peaceful
mountain scenery have enlarged its widening reputation and it is
now a tourist hot spot. Pai is a popular base camp for treks into
the hills which can be arranged through hotels or travel agencies
in the city. Closer waterfalls and hot springs are worth a visit.
Elephant camps are nearby as well. An airport now connects Pai to
Chiang Mai, but the best way to get there is by motorbike or bus in
order to see the beautiful scenery on the way.

Money
The unit of currency is the Baht (THB), which is divided
into 100 satang. Currency can be exchanged at the airport, banks,
hotels and bureaux de change. Banks are open Monday to Friday. ATMs
are available in most cities and tourist resorts. Most large hotels
and shops accept travellers cheques, but a better rate will be
given at banks. Most major credit cards are accepted at hotels and
larger businesses.
