What do I need to know before moving to Pai?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Pai, they said...

"Expats should be aware that Pai is a small town in northern Thailand, known for its laid-back atmosphere, beautiful landscapes, and a strong sense of community. The cost of living is relatively low, but it's essential to have a valid visa and work permit if planning to work there. The primary language spoken is Thai, so learning some basic Thai phrases will be helpful. Healthcare facilities are limited, so it's crucial to have comprehensive health insurance and be prepared to travel to larger cities for more advanced medical care. The climate in Pai is tropical, with hot and humid weather throughout the year, and a rainy season from May to October. The town has a mix of Thai and Western-style accommodations, but housing options may be limited, so it's essential to secure a place to live before moving. Public transportation is limited, so having a motorbike or bicycle is the most common way to get around. Finally, it's essential to respect Thai customs and traditions, such as removing shoes before entering homes and temples, and dressing modestly in public places," explained one expat living in Thailand.
