Cafes in Pai

Pai is filled with so many delicious cafes and places to eat. Here are my top five recommendations.

1. Art in Chai | This place in itself was worthy of it's own blog post. Everything is five stars about this place including atmosphere, food and drinks, and the lovely people who work there.  Pick up a book from there stellar collection (with authors including George M. Martin, Murikami, Coelho, Silverstien, and Osho) and order a coconut milk chai with honey.

2. Random Street Food | Just walking the streets of Pai you can smell and hear all the goodies being created.  Everything from fresh squeezed juices to sticky mango rice to barbecue skewer. Take your pick!

My favorite in Pai, coconut banana pancakes

3. All About Coffee | I am a sucker for atmosphere and this little art/coffee shop is top notch.  It's owned and run by a family.  The woman bakes the pastries. Her son and husband create all the gorgeous art that decorates the cafe.

Chocolate banana cream pie. UGH.

4. Big's Little Cafe | This is great food for great values.  Probably the best American style breakfast in Pai.  Sandwiches and paninis are awesome too! But don't go if you are in a hurry--  all the food is made fresh to order, right in front of you eyes!

5. Good Life: Herb and Health Restaurant | I recommend this place simply because their variety of drinks.  They have all sorts of juices, smoothies, tea, and coffee. They even bottle and sell their own kombucha. They also have a huge selection of meals (both Thai and western cuisines) and really anything you could want to satiate your hunger or taste buds.

From inside, you can sit on a swing and enjoy your meal.
