What an amazing hotel, I'd even call it a hidden gem! For the price, it's an absolute steal 🤌🏼 It's located right on the riverbank, away from Pai's noisy streets, yet still close enough (a 5-minute walk). It's incredibly clean, smells fresh, and everything works perfectly. I spent the whole evening by the river, watching the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen, and I'm so grateful to the hotel for providing such an opportunity ❤️
Absolutely gorgeous! It's about a 20-minute walk to the county town. The room's interior decoration is so-so, but the environment is absolutely fantastic. The staff are also very welcoming, and the all-day dining restaurant serves breakfast and lunch.
It was an amazing experience if you are looking to stay somewhere wild. It wouldn’t be great for anyone who doesn’t like nature or is scared of animals, but if that’s your thing, it’s perfect. The place is as tidy and clean as it can be inside of a clay house. The owner is really nice and helpful and the location is the most serene you will ever be. It kind of feels like you’re living in the jungle. It’s beautiful, you hear geckos, you might see a snake, there are cats meowing outside . It’s really peaceful, you can chill in the hammock all day but it’s also a walk away from town. And there is HOT water, which always feels like a luxury in these kind of places.
I stayed at Luxury Farmhouse Pai for seven nights in December. The property itself is genuinely very nice — the setting is peaceful, the design is well done, the photos are accurate, and the rooms are clean, comfortable, and well looked after. You do get what you pay for in terms of the physical space and overall presentation.
Where it fell down for me was the guest experience over a longer stay as a solo traveller. A lot of things felt overly procedural rather than personal. For example, being given breakfast vouchers on check-in and needing to present them every morning felt unnecessary after several days. It’s not a major issue, but it does change how the place feels when you’re there for a week.
Breakfast itself was fine but basic — fruit, rice porridge, toast, and eggs. Perfectly acceptable, just not especially memorable.
I also had ongoing issues with the Wi-Fi in my room. When connected it was fast, but it dropped out frequently, and I often had to switch networks or hotspot from my phone.
Payments for extras were another source of friction. Card payments weren’t accepted for things like laundry, there was no option to run a tab, and when paying cash they often didn’t have change. These are small operational details, but over seven nights they became frustrating.
The biggest issue for me was the scooter rental the hotel partners with. They required either a passport or driving licence to be held, plus a large cash deposit. That’s not something I’m comfortable with, and it’s particularly disappointing given how important scooters are in Pai. I rented from another shop in town that only required a copy of ID and a deposit, which was much more reasonable.
The hotel is walkable to Pai town (around 20 minutes), though a scooter is recommended. I also wasn’t informed in advance about the shuttle service from the bus station, which meant I walked in with luggage on arrival. There was also noticeable noise at night from nearby music, which did eventually stop.
Overall, this is a well-run and attractive property, and I can see it being a great fit for couples or guests wanting space and privacy. For me as a solo traveller on a longer stay, it felt a little disconnected, and several small but important details took away from what could have been a much better experience.
A wonderful place.
Everything it' s beautiful and clean! It' s a paradise. We eat a nice meal on front to the river so relaxing and the owner and the guy at the restaurant are so lovely.
And to have a hot spring in that paradise oooh it' s something very rare and wonderful.
A part the bed that it was a bit to hard we don't have any complain and it was one of the best hotel that we had been here in Tahiland. We will be back 😊
Just near the World War II bridge, the yard is very comfortable, cost-effective, and parking is convenient. The proprietress is very enthusiastic. Next time I drive to Pai, I will stay here and stay for a few more days.
Good location as it is along a rural road. Very quiet but village dogs bark quite a bit.
My room is very spartanly furnished. Nowhere to hang clothes up in the room.
Bathroom is very basic but clean. The toilet roll offered is top quality in Thailand.
Front desk reception is not manned as the staff is always in the kitchen area.
Good masseur on-site. Got a great 2-hour massage to ease away my knots and tightness. Hot spring tub available for a good soak.
The staff is very friendly and has a good attitude. Although it is a little far away from the city, the service staff is still very active and told us that they can help guide us.
The environment is very close to nature, which makes us feel relaxed physically and mentally, allowing us to have a pleasant holiday
Lovely retreat off the beaten track. Great location for quiet relaxing trip. Surrounded by lush greenery and mountain backdrop. The rooms are big and well decorated. There is a large swimming pool on premises. Breakfast was ok. Nothing too fancy: bread, coffee/tea, with boiled or fried eggs. Cereal also available with fruits.
The location of the hotel is not that far from the tourist area.
It's easy to find your way around with Google Maps.
However, it can be difficult if you are dragging a heavy suitcase.
When crossing the bridge, you have to carry your luggage.
The facilities are very old, but the surrounding scenery is beautiful.
The owner is very friendly
To give us delicious fruits and help us with difficult problems.
You worked hard
Everything was fine, but the only thing that was inconvenient was
The water pressure was so low that it was difficult to wash.
Still, I would like to stay again next time I visit Pai.
Very Good

Very nice small hotel run by a friendly service oriented couple. Delicious choice menu for breakfast (western oriented). Swimming pool with a number of sunbeds. Clean rooms with a small terrace. The hotel is within walking distance 5 minutes from the center where there is a food market every evening.
Hotel is cozy, close to the center through the bridge. There is a parking lot. Beds are comfortable, there is a refrigerator. On the veranda is a cozy hammock. Very stuck view of the mountains. A cozy green lawn near the houses. Breakfast can be chosen from several options. The city of Pai very liked.
Good hotel, clean room, green area. We liked it, the truth has a few features. From the main walk street and the center of a kilometer, you can walk on foot but better on a motorbike. The most uncomfortable thing is that you need to settle on the phone, as the bar is most of the time no one. We had a local number only with the Internet, could not call, but one local person helped by calling from his phone. So I would advise the owners of the gesta to set up telegram accounts, wattsap, etc. so that it is possible to connect through the Internet.
Very nice room with a comfortable bed. The room itself was a little bit smaller than expected. The included breakfast was good as well, they deliver it to your balcony - which has a great view of the mountains. The jacuzzi on the balcony was a nice touch! The place is secluded but not difficult to get to (also walkable to “downtown” Pai though I do recommend a scooter to make life easier). Down the hill and next door there was a really good restaurant for both Thai and western food.
I had a really great time at mad monkey! The staff was amazing, super friendly and helpful. I did my laundry, booked a bus ticket back to chiang mai and rented a scooter at the front desk. They oftentimes offer fun communal activities. The rooms were really modern and clean and the individual blacked out curtains provided enough privacy :) the location is not right downtown (but you can walk there in 10 minutes) which I loved bc it was quiet during night hours.
