Tree houses” is not in Pai, and is located on an unimpressive path on the right-hand side of the road that leads to Pai. On this road, there are several special resorts and houses, as well as elephant rides, and hot springs. It’s about a 20-minute drive from Pai. This road is not made from tarmac, so it feels a lot more natural to ride on, and elephants with tourists on their backs can often be seen there. Sometimes they even walk into the "tree houses". There are only three tree houses on one big tree, and it is impossible to stay there without booking in advance. In addition to the three “tree houses” on the big tree, other cabins are also built on the ground. Despite being viewable from the tree houses, the overall environment is good, as they are built next to lots of trees.

The Pai Post Office is a famous attraction in Pai. The location of the post office is not very well-marked. It is on the road to the county night market at the gas station intersection, which is in front of the upside down house. There is a big red postbox at the door, and there are more cute postboxes in the post office's yard. This post office is very small and cute. Its white walls are clean and neat, with a zip code written on a red heart-shaped sign, a pink mail box, and a white wooden basket. This place gives people a warm and intimate feeling. The post office is very clean. There is a large red map on the wall, and a few tables and chairs where people can sit and write postcards. The staff here are very welcoming. Anyone who wants to be served must take a number which is then displayed on the counter. The number plates are held on a string and the one on top can be directly taken. If you can't speak Thai, then you can just take a postcard and point to the location of the stamp and say “send it to xxx”. The staff will understand. After getting a stamp, you can then use the post office's seats, pens, and seals. Your postcard can be written directly at the post office and stamped with a special seal. There is glue on the back of the stamp which can be attached to the postcard directly after putting a little bit of water on the back of it (there is also a sponge in the post office). The address must be written in English: "To xxx".
