To illustrate, driving is a comfortable way, or climbing up the Naga staircase (353 steps) is also an interesting way of exercise. There is a little market with stalls where you can buy products, mainly hats and scarves knitted by the vendors. They can be very useful because it is cold at night and in the early morning in Pai. There are also two coffee shops.
