The community of Pai is located four hours north of Chiang Mai and is absolutely worth a visit. The town is incredibly laid back and tourists can visit nearby waterfalls as well as a popular market on Wednesdays.

For 2 beginners this was an eventful 2 hour insight into the wonderful world of Muay Thai. We arrived at 7.45am and started to warm up by doing 20mins of skipping followed by some technical stuff in the mirror including setup, stance, jab, hook and kick. I have arch problems in my foot but this wasn't a problem as they let me wear my shoes while I trained. Next up was some 1on1 punching and kicking which was fun. Towards the end we done some group core work with all 40+ participants. The trainer's were really nice and patient with us throughout. For 350 baht each we got 2.5 hours of a solid workout. What more could we ask for. Great spot would definitely try it again. Tough.

Charlie and Lek’s Thai cooking classes

Reviewed By ashems13 - Southend-on-Sea, United Kingdom

Lek is the most wonderful teacher (and person!) with a great sense of humour, incredible patience and a real talent for cooking and teaching. We had the best day in Pai learning about Thai cuisine and cooking our own delicious dishes. Lek was so accommodating of dietary requirements and us being slow choppers! The rest of the group were also really fun to be around and it added to the experience, being able to meet new people from around the world who share a love of cooking. My boyfriend and I perfected three dishes: morning glory, pad Thai and massaman curry. Because you are given free reign of your dishes, ours looked and tasted so different! For 750 baht you cannot go wrong - your experience of Pai will be missing something huge if you choose not to go to Lek's cooking school!

Spending a month at Nam Yang was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I came because I wanted to explore meditation further after recently trying it, but knew I wouldn't enjoy a meditation retreat. The physical aspects of Nam Yang made it ideal, as you're able to learn about what both your body and mind are capable of. It'll be more than you think. I thought going would be 'good' for me, but had no idea if I'd actually enjoy it. It turns out that learning Kung Fu at Nam Yang is really really fun. It's tough at times, but how hard you push yourself is your decision. Basically everyone seemed to have achieved something that was important to them, whether that was touching their toes or learning a sword routine with 30+ moves. The schedule has the perfect balance of breaks and training. 35 hours a week sounded like a lot before arriving, but with two rest days and two days when there's no classes after breakfast for over five hours, a lot of us trained during the breaks (/recommended free training periods) and days off. The whole place has an incredible atmosphere. It's set back enough to feel isolated and surrounded by nature, and you can mostly see rolling hills and hear wildlife. The people are what make it so special though. The instructors are truly fantastic, their skill, dedication and patience is incredible. They really embody how Kung Fu is a life long learning process, as they know so much but have so much to learn compared to their seniors. They're also good people, and a lot of fun to be around. The other students made my experience what it was. Nam Yang attracts a lot of people who you'll be better for having met. There's a constant flow of people in and out, so there's often new and interesting people to talk to. You won't click with absolutely everyone, but the atmosphere and ethos means that interactions are always friendly. The food is good, and healthy. If you're not a vegetarian, you'll get meat in one meal each week. It's very different from typical western diets, but even if you normally eat very differently, nourishing your body with healthy food feels like part of the whole experience. You should know that lunch isn't included, and while Pai has an insane amount of incredible food, it's a 5 minute moped trip and a 40+ min walk away. Most people don't find they need the big lunch they'd normally have. Training after a big meal isn't comfortable, and after the big breakfast, a smoothie or small snacks at midday are often enough. Waking up at 6am was not easy for the first week, and I'd collapse into a nap straight after breakfast most days. But you soon adjust, and learning Chi Kung while the sky gradually grows lighter above hills on the horizon, before the sun eventually burst forth, is magical. I'd really recommend staying at least a few weeks to a month. It takes time for your mind and body to adjust, and to really feel the benefits of what you're doing. The people who stayed for 2-3+ months seemed to have learnt a huge amount. However, students who came for a week or even a day always seemed happy they'd done it. The workaway scheme also seems good, there's a lot of gardening involved but it seems fair for what you get in return. The Shaolin Warrior schedule was perfect for me, with a brilliant balance of stretching, meditation, moving meditation, high intensity warm ups, Kung Fu techniques, 'sparring'*, and discussions/lessons on the ethos and history of Kung Fu. There's two other options available that include more meditation and less physical activity, so something for everyone. While I was there the students included both a family with two young children and a man in his 80s. The experience is what you make it, and Pai presents many opportunities for fun outside of Kung Fu if you're interested. *You don't spar as with boxing, partly because it would be too dangerous. The 'sticking hands' and 'pushing hands' fighting practice sessions are perfect though. Even that can get quite intense, but everyone respects each other's comfort levels. You may be tapping one partner, then going at each other while still pulling your punches with the next. You should be in control the whole time though. Learning to calm my mind in that situation was one of the most powerful things I took away from the trip. That and the 'Shuang Yuang', an interesting and powerful moving meditation that takes a lifetime to master. I came away with exactly what I'd wanted, and so much more. If you're considering going to Nam Yang, just do it. You won't regret it. Thank you !

We went to a different rental company first and we didn’t get any training other than how to go forward and how to stop. At Vespai, however, I was taught thoroughly how to turn and drive safely. After the quick lesson, I felt confident on the road. In England I had never ridden a moped before, so at first it was quite daunting. The lesson was under 30 minutes, meaning we got it for no additional cost. It was a little irritating that the guy was making me do turn after turn making sure I was doing it right, but we understood how important it was that I knew how to properly, so we completely got it! The bike itself was in quite good condition and the guy made sure we went through all scuffs and scrapes the bike had with him before we took it, so we were confident he wasn’t trying to con us! Having the bike made exploring Pai so much easier so we would recommend renting one from Vespai! It is inexpensive and fun!

My partner and I had the privilege to have a private class with the absolutely lovely Mae!! 4 hours of absolutely joy, visit to a local market where Mae was wondering around and explaining (with so much passion!) about the different local products and their use... from there back to the beautiful garden with an outdoor kitchen where we started to cook!! Each had the chance to choose 4 different dishes (so we picked 8 different dishes in total!! ????) Cooking in a great environment, super cozy, fresh ingredients, easy to follow her instructions and lots of laughter time in between! Sensational food!! Came out with a wonderful memory, smile on my face and food coma ???????????? If you are in Pai; it’s a MUST!!! Thank you Mae, we will come to visit you again ! ❤️

Conserve Natural Forests

Conserve Natural Forests (CNF) is a NonProfit charity foundation focused on forest restoration and wildlife conservation located outside of Pai, Northern Thailand. CNF has dedicated itself to restoring and enriching natural ecosystems through reforestation efforts as well as reproducing, rehabilitating and reintroducing endangered indigenous species populations to their native environment. A tour of our site maintains a balance between intimate time spent with endangered species on-site, the elephant(s) we are rehabilitating for release back into the wild, and education on the evolution of ecosystems and forest habitats in Thailand. Individuals who visit our site will leave with an intricate understanding of how elephants contribute to maintaining a healthy, bio-diverse ecosystem and how important it is to restore them to their natural environment to have successful reforestation efforts. Our organization maintains a focus on honesty and integrity in conjunction with our mission.

This was such a beautiful experience. Their main focus is planting trees to save our forests and environment. Jason was incredibly knowledgeable about the project and was able to answer any questions about reforestation and taking care of the pregnant elephant, Cami. The land is breathtaking, we crossed a river to watch the elephant eat tons and tons of trees in her natural habitat. My favorite part was planting a tree. It feels like a family, we were able to relax with some delicious passionfruit mojitos and home-cooked Northern Thai food :) I would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone looking for a genuine experience.
