Popular Post webfact Posted Friday at 09:54 PM Popular Post Posted Friday at 09:54 PM Pictures courtesy of Siam Rath The popular summer activity of tubing along the Pai River is drawing crowds in Mae Hong Son's Pai district. On 14th March, local authorities, including the Tourism Authority of Thailand in Mae Hong Son, tourism police, and regional tourism businesses, observed the bustling scene with over 350 participants enjoying the experience. Acting Lieutenant Phanuwat Khadnak, Director of the Tourist Authority in Mae Hong Son, highlighted the event's growing appeal. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy the tubing every day, with larger gatherings typically on Tuesdays and Fridays, as long as river conditions remain safe. The activity is paused during the rainy season when the river's current becomes too strong. Tubing operators must ensure safety by providing at least one staff member per 12 tourists and having rescue teams ready. All operators are also required to register their services, offering tourists insurance protection in case of accidents. Panudet Chaisakul, President of the Mae Hong Son Tourism Business Association, noted that tubing has successfully attracted visitors to Pai, particularly during the summer. Many tourists arrive from Bangkok on weekly trips, boosting the local economy. Observations confirm that operators are adhering to safety and environmental guidelines, ensuring that both visitors and the river are well cared for, reported Siam Rath. -- 2025-03-15 1 1 4

ikke1959 Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago Here then police can fine everybody for not following the Thai law.. just as inproper clothing like bikini or no T shirts, drinking beer and posting on facebook as crime to promote alcohol and many more stupid laws. that are invented or will be invented, as we once saw in Pattaya where tourists were fine form playing darts, and the owner of the bar did not have a dart license ( which doesn't exists)... They are doing a crackdown as we could read...also for inpropriate behavior... I was told that speaking loudly was not done in Thailand.. How will they act with screaming youth who have fun?? 1
