About Airai

Airai is also the name of a biggest town in the state, with a population of 920 people as of 2004. The town of Airai is the largest town in Palau outside of the state of Koror.

Airai is most notable for its Bai (men's meeting house), being the oldest one in existence, dating back 200 years. The turbulent rains of Palau did not treat ancient Palaun architecture kindly. Airai is more inland/mountainous-jungle and therefore more of a bedroom community than anything else
