To get to Pai you must voyage either east from Chiang Mai or west from Mae Hong Son travelling on one of the most beautiful, gut-wrenching mountain passes known to man. Pai is (or was) a quaint little village that was a hidden treasure. But like all beautiful secret escape, over time word of mouth gets out and people flock to the area. Nothing is left untouched. The tourists come and go or fall in love with the place and stay - and the next thing you know, the place is transformed into whatever these "farang" want it to be! Anyway - not far form there there are several waterfalls. I can't remember exactly where this one was, but they were all beautiful. I am sad to think that Pai has probably only become more invaded!
