Great sunrise spot and viewpoint of Pai About 10mins outside of town. It gives you a good geography viewpoint of Pai, a town surrounded by wall of mountains. It is a pretty and relaxing. The car ride up to the viewpoint is 300 bahts. The place does sell light meal, drinks, tea and coffee and souvenirs.
Beautiful popular spot to watch the sunrise. The place gets crowded pretty soon though, so you want to come early and save your spot. There are free restroom. Food snacks and souvenir are available for purchase here.
Nice place of interest to have a lookout of pai. If you are coming before the sunrise, you might have to park ur vehicle at the Chinese village and take the transport from the locals. I arrived after 8am and could ride up directly. It's a steep road at the end. You can see the entire place covered with clouds if you arrive around 8-9. 20B per entry
My dad was complaining to wake up at 5am to go for a sunrise. 😆 We took the courage to wake up at a freezing temperature 🌡 I think anytime between 10c to 12c. It was crazy weather for a Malaysian that had to endure 35c to 40c each day to such chilling morning. The crowd was massive, so we parked at the chinese village and they send us up using hi-lux. There you see the red lanterns and wondering if you've been transported to a chinese place 😄😆. We walked up the slope until the top. There are ample of places to sit watching the town and mountains. And you may get some drinks over the counter too. Entry is just 20 bath which is worth it. Then we started watching as time goes by. No talking, just observing and absorbing the nature has bring to us. The entire town below were covered with a blanket of mist. We left soon after and didn't wait till the sun was out because it seems the sun wants to rest on Christmas day 😃. There are other areas where couples could buy ornaments to hang below the tree, you can't miss it. And there's a platform where everyone wants to capture the word yun lai in chinese. No regret, good journey.
