the quaint village has the look of a 100year old fishing village and has become the in spot to relax and take in the sites as well as enjoy hiking and white water rafting on the Pai river.

The World Reggae Festival has made it’s home here for the past 5 years and this year it has major sponsorship from none other than Chang Beer which should propel the two day music festival to greater heights. Aside from some great reggae music from a multitude of acts the festival will also have a vintage car parade, fire shows, hand made arts and crafts, an artisan market and street stalls selling food and drink.

Entrance fees for the event are 350 baht for one day and 500 baht for both days. There will also be a camp ground set up for backpackers with tent accommodation for two at 500 baht per night.
