Drinking & Entertainment
As a general guide to 'downtown' Pai's entertainment scene, most of the open-air
and VW van-based cocktail bars are along Th Chaisongkhram; Th Wiang Tai is
where you'll find the mostly indoor and chilled reggae-type places; the 'guest house'
style restaurant/bars with a diverse soundtrack are mostly found on Th Rangsiyan-
on; and a few live music bars can be found along the eastern end of Th
Ratchadamnoen .
BEBOP
(Th Rangsiyanon; 6pm-1am) This legendary box is popular with travellers and
has live music nightly (from about 9pm), playing blues, R&B and rock.
Live Music
TING TONG
(Th Rangsiyanon; 7pm-1am) 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.
