Pai is one of 7 districts in Mae Hong Son province, lying in the northeast of the province, 111 km from the town of Mae Hong Son and 135 kilometers from Chiang Mai.

a cool wind blows all day long from the mountains into the valley.
The wind, which blows hroughout all seasons, is the southwest monsoon from Indian Ocean , bringing freshness and rain in the rainy season. The northwest monsoon,
which blows from the central part of China , brings the chill and dryness of the winter season

Natural Resources
There are 3 kinds of evergreen forest: dry tropical, mountain jungle and mountain pine.
There are 2 kinds of deciduous forests: those with many different varieties of trees,
and hardwood forest. Within these 2 kinds of forests there are many kinds of trees,
for example, teak, Siamese Sal, Ingyin, Leguminosae, Dipterocarpacae, pine,
wild bamboo, orchid. There are so many kinds of wild herbs and plants
that the villagers use for food, medicine and as materials for building houses.
But nowadays, many of the big trees have been cut down, especially teakwood,
which is all but finished, due to the rising population of a society
that has become increasingly materialistic.
