What to expect

Climb onto your ATV, feel the engine rumble beneath you, and leave Pai’s paved roads behind as your guide leads you into the countryside. After a safety briefing and riding introduction, ease onto dirt tracks past farms, rice fields, and rural scenery before the terrain becomes more adventurous.

Choose the ride that matches your time and confidence. Trip S is a gentle 30-minute introduction, ideal for first-time riders who want countryside trails and views of the Big White Buddha above Pai’s green hills. Trip M lasts 1 hour, taking you to Pai Viewpoint for sweeping valley scenery before continuing to Huai Di Mi Reservoir. For the most immersive option, Trip L takes around 3 hours and covers approximately 30 kilometers of rugged terrain, with stops at Pam Bok Waterfall and Kho Koo Soo Bamboo Bridge.

Choose a Single Rider option for full control of your ATV, or share the adventure with a passenger on a Tandem ride. Depending on the season, kick up dust on dry trails or splash through muddy backroads as you steer through jungle paths and mountain routes beyond scooter roads. Return with dusty boots, muddy tires, and memories of a side of Pai most visitors never reach.
