Rafting along the Mae Pai |
|
|
is an exciting and delightful recreation.
Mae Pai itself is the longest river of Mae Hong Son originating
from mountain ranges in Laos which flows through Pai district
of the province and eventually joins the Salawin river in
Myanmar, a total distance of 180 kilometres. With an average
depth of some 7 metres, the river bed is mainly pebbled.
There are several sectors eminently suitable for rafting
past rapids and natural scenery including beautiful waterfalls.
Tour operators in Mae Hong Son town or in Pai district can
provide the necessary service, some are also able to provide
elephant rides. The best time for rafting is from October
to March.
