Mae Hong Son Province

Entertainment in Mae Hong Son Province

  1. A

    Crossroads

    This friendly bar-restaurant is a crossroads in every sense, from its location at one of Mae Hong Son's main intersections to its clientele that ranges from wet-behind-the-ears backpackers to hardened locals. Oh, and there's steak.

    Ting Tong

    A sprawling compound of bamboo decks, concrete platforms, hidden tables and towering trees, this is one of the larger bars in town. Reggae/dub defines but doesn't rule the play list, and there's occasional live music.

  3. Eat & Chat

    For a couple of beers and a chat at conversation, rather than shouting-over-the-guitar-solo level, head to this low-key place across from the Blue Lagoon Hotel. Music ranges from jazz to Sinatra, there’s live acoustic most nights, and as the name suggests, there’s food as well.

  4. Pai Post Studio & Gallery

    This white wooden building is home to Pai’s English-language rag, and the front is a white space for photography. But every night, after the computers are turned off, a fun mixture of live music (mostly rock/jazz) and performance (a ventriloquist, at last check) takes over.

  5. Park@Pai

    Parking Toys, one of Bangkok’s best live-music pubs, has opened a branch in Pai. Rock to visiting bands while seated on funky furniture and snacking on their excellent food (it’d be a crime to miss their fantastic ‘hot & sour crispy chicken salad’).

  6. Phu Pai Art Café

    This attractive wooden house is another highlight of Pai’s live music scene. The amps turn on at 8pm, and on our visit we enjoyed some very good live acoustic guitar music.

    Chilli Bar

    Loud blues and a pool table dominate the scene at this friendly pub. The available food (30B to 80B), from bar snacks to sandwiches, is chalked up on boards.

    Don't Cry

    Located just across the river, this is the kind of reggae bar you thought you left behind on Ko Phangan. Soporifically chilled out and open (albeit quietly) until the last guy goes home.

    Sunflower Café

    This open-air place combines draught beer, live lounge music and views of the lake. Sunflower also does meals (35B to 180B) and runs tours.

    This tiny, modern cafe serves good coffee drinks and a few sweets and cakes.
