A little history…
When I discovered the Pai River in 1987, only bamboo rafting was available in Thailand and Pai was a small, unknown village sleeping in the foothills of the Himalayas. Today, Pai is becoming the "Mecca" of the white water rafting in Thailand and I'm proud to manage one of the safest and most professional operations in the country for the pleasure of the nature lovers from all over the world.
