About Pai Walking Street (Night Market)
Every night the center of Pai closes to traffic and fills with food stalls, craft sellers, bars and buskers. Yes, it's touristy, but it's the beating heart of the town after dark and the street food is the real reason to go. It's genuinely good and cheap, so come hungry and graze your way down the street.
It's right in the core, walkable from just about any guesthouse, so there's no logistics to worry about. Just wander in after sunset.
It buzzes hardest in the cool high season and goes quieter during the low, wet months, so adjust expectations if you're visiting off-peak.
