Rafting along the Pai River

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 Sa La Win river in Myanmar, a total distance of 180 kilometers.  With an average depth of some 7 meters, the river bed is mainly pebbled.  There are several sectors eminently suitable for rafting past rapids and natural sceneries including beautiful waterfalls.  The best time for rafting is from October to March.

Rafting on the river at Pangmapha

Rafting offers you another kind of adventure. Rafting on the Lang River will let you experience the beauty of Lod Cave by traversing from one side of the cave to the other, passing by stalactites and stalagmites in the cave. This trip on the Lang River takes around 3 hours.
   The Khong River is Mae Hong Son's main river, as its source springs from the area on the border between Thailand and Burma. It flows past Pang Ma Pha to the south, joining the Pai River.
