Exploring the Land Split in Pai

,

The Land Split is a unique spot, not because of the split itself, but for the hospitality you'll receive from the owners. The tourist attraction was created in 2008 and 2011, when the land split 11 metres deep, making it unsustainable for farming. It's just a short walk up the stairs to see it. 

I didn't find the Land Split to be that fascinating, however, owner's kindness to you is amazing. The moment you step onto the farm, he and his wife welcome you by offering you fruits, peanuts, banana chips, sweet potatoes, tamarind, roselle juice, wine and jam. They don't charge you for anything, but there's a donation box where you can offer a little something. 

How to get here:

It's not too difficult to get here. Head south down Highway 1095 from Pai. Look out for this the "Land Split" sign and turn right. From here, it's another 2km to the Land Split. 

Look out for this sign on highway 1095. It's on a hill! 

This is the front of the farm. Park your bike and head inside! 

Happy Eating!

Cute Cafes on Highway 1095 in Pai

,

If you're riding along Highway 1095 in Pai, you'll notice a bunch of cafes along the way. There were a few that caught our attention as we made our way to Pai Canyon. 

Coffee in Love

Stop here for a quick break to check out the view. The coffee shop is a yellow house with white picket fence. There is a pathway leading down to the countryside. 

The Container in Pai

This colourful cafe has unique hanging eggshell chairs. Stop here for an iced coffee and relax a bit before you head back out. 

Love Strawberry Pai

This strawberry farm sells a variety of strawberry products from dried strawberries to strawberry pop. There are large strawberries around the sign, which is great for photos (as you can tell from ours). There's also a giant swing and zip-line here. 

Fun fact: Thailand used to farm opium poppies, but the government eliminated its cultivation and imported non-narcotics crops to farm. Strawberries were one of the crops.
