From there you will drive 2 hours along mountainous roads to the peaceful community of Pai. Along the way visit the Mok Fah waterfall and the hot springs at Pong Duad Forest Park. Take a mineral bath for half hour followed by lunch. Continue to stop at Second World War Memorial Bridge that crosses the Pai River. Afterwards take a journey in the picturesque flowers garden and have some coffee before you visit Pai Canyon. This small but beautiful canyon is located in the center of Pai Valley. The paths here are narrow and at times steep and provide you with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains.

Then we will make a stop at a Lisu tribal market which has a beautiful scenic viewpoint before going to the Pang Ma Pah district to visit Lod Cave and enjoy some bamboo rafting. Nestled in the hills between Pai and Maehongson near Soppong, is Lod Cave. Also known as Tham Lot, this cave is home to large numbers of bats and swifts and is filled with stalactites and stalagmites. In Tham Lot, and other caves nearby, teakwood coffins have been discovered which are thought to have been carved by the Lawa tribespeople thousands of years ago. An interesting feature of the Lod Cave is the Nam Lang River, which flows through it. Your trip starts by boarding a bamboo raft that takes you into the cave where you can explore 3 different caves inside. Upon exiting the cave you will reboard the raft and where you can feed the large schools of fish that surround you. You will be given the option to purchase a local tour guide which we highly recommend. The guide will carry a gas powered lamp that creates plenty of light for you to see and photograph the beauty of this cave. Then take 1 hour drive to Phu klon which literally means “mud source and natural mineral spring” and enjoy the feeling of the cool mud painted on your body.
