Click to watch YouTube video of Tipsy Tubing in Pai, Thailand If you’re in Pai on a Tuesday or Friday, and not during rain season (July October) this is the party you don’t want to miss. It’s not just floating down a river; it’s DJs, mud wrestling, foam parties, fire shows, and a whole bunch of drunk backpackers. Here’s exactly how it goes down: 💸 Price & Booking Costs 250 baht Buy your ticket the day before on Walking Street (any stand will do, doesn’t matter who you buy it from) Includes your tube + transport, nothing else 🚐 Pickup Pickup is between 11:30 and 12 from your hotel/hostel You’ll be crammed into the back of an open pickup truck, standing up with everyone else, the party starts there The truck that picks you up is the same one that takes you back, so you can leave non essentials inside safely 🎒 What’s Provided vs What You Bring Provided: Tube Bring yourself: Drinks, snacks, “party favors” (everything is BYO) Waterproof bag (they sell cheap ones but better to bring your own) Cash for bars and extras (balloons, shots, buckets) Sunscreen and shoes you don’t mind losing Not Provided: No life jackets No free drinks No food 🎶 How the Day Goes Down Pregame Spot When you first arrive at the starting point, everyone pregames DJ + bar on site Chill, dance, drink, wait for everyone to gather First River Stop Float down to the first stop Another DJ + bar Mud wrestling pit (yes, you’ll get filthy) Social chaos kicks in here Final River Stop The big one Foam party, another DJ, fire show, bar, swing over the river This is where the night vibe hits before heading back Return Everyone piles back into the same truck you came with Drop off back in town in the evening, usually around 6 ⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind It’s a party event, not a calm float. If you want peace and nature, skip this. People do lose stuff every single trip. Bring only what you can afford to lose. Don’t expect safety gear you’re on your own. It’s super social you’ll end up with a group even if you arrive solo. The river current can vary depending on the season (rainy season = faster). 🗝️ Quick Tips for Success Eat before you go, because food options are limited. Reapply sunscreen. You’ll be in the sun for hours. Keep some small bills for drinks/balloons. Have a chill plan for after you’ll be wiped.
