If you want to disappear from the face on the card and drop in the real world there is no better place than Pai, a very pleasant Mountain Resort and Farang Enclave committed in Thailand's northern province of Mae Hong Son.The mountain air is clean and fresh and free of pollution and during the dry season, the temperature is below 50F the morning and evening, a comfortable 65F. So bring a sweater or jacket during the dry season from November to May.
Pai is "A realUN Village, "as in a very short time people will meet so many different nationalities - Israelis, Swedes, Canadians, Japanese, young backpackers, Flemish, Finnish, Dutch, German, Australian, Kiwis, French, Italians, Britons, Swiss, Spaniards and a sign of Yankee or two.

The most popular activities in Pai always high, hanging around any number ofsmall cafes shoot the breeze with other farang travelers. In addition, many artistic types - writers, poets, watercolor painters, musicians, etc. - you will find Pai is an ideal place for their creative juices flowing and have it their permanent residence.
In a strange way, arriving in Pai is a way to enter "The Twilight Zone." For those of you who did not know what I mean obtain, Twilight Zone is a popular science fiction television series in the 1960s. Many visitors stay in Pai for months orYears, never to return to their home country or Westernized, the insignia of the real civilization. I believe that many visitors stay in Pai comes to an end when the travelers visa has expired. Some of these dropouts make the run across the border to Myanmar and get her visa renewed. As I said before disappearing back, many people in Pai, and never for the life they left behind.
"They are traveling into another dimension, a dimension not only eyes and ears ... but of mind. A journey into awondrous land whose boundaries only that the imagination ... Typing ... The Twilight Zone "
