Yun Lai Viewpoint

In the tranquil mountain landscape of Pai, at around 770 meters, is the beautiful Yun Lai Viewpoint. Translated, this means "the clouds are coming", which in Chinese is associated with positive energy and good luck. From the city center, the drive up to the viewpoint takes about 15 minutes and takes you through the Chinese Yunnan village Santichon Village - This is also the origin of the viewpoint, which is decorated in striking Chinese style. A small fee of 20 baht per person is charged on arrival at the viewpoint. Parking is free (note: be sure to drive up the steep road as there is a charge at the lower parking lot).

In addition to the breathtaking panoramic view of Pai, the spacious area also offers a small café and a traditional Chinese restaurant. In the center of the square is a magnificent pine tree with dozens of heart-shaped lucky charms attached to it. You can buy the colorful talismans on site and immortalize a wish, a word of gratitude or your love for your partner. Below the viewpoint, there is also a small paradise with beautifully manicured flower gardens, a swimming pool and plenty of opportunities to relax. Although the place belongs to a local hotel, you can also come here as a day visitor for a fee of 100 baht to relax in the mountains of Pai.

TipAnother highlight is the campsite at Yun Lai Viewpoint! Directly below the summit are tents that have already been set up and can be rented for 500 baht per day, including bedding. Alternatively, you can bring your own tent and set it up for a site fee of 100 baht. The view of the mountain landscape of Pai when you get up is truly phenomenal!
