"Beautiful hotel, located at the best spot in pai. The stuff was amazing, very kind, took care of everything we needed especially May, one of the girls at the desk. The only two problems were the smell in the room because the rooms are made of woods and it’s raining season, and the frogs outside the room made a lot of noise at night. The price was a little expensive compared to the other hotels in pai, but it was a level above everything. We had a great time and enjoyed our staying."

"Staying at a riverside cottage is the best way to experience what Pai is all about. You're in nature with the town just steps away. The cottage is rustic and simple, so it feels like camping but with a little more comfort. If you're afraid of bugs, you may want to stay at a fancier resort, although there will probably be a few bugs there too. It's mostly quiet, although the music from the place next door can be loud late into the night on the weekends. The staff is friendly and helpful. I'd recommend this place and would stay here again."

"The room was made of reclaimed teak (floors and walls) with a proper bathroom attached and we didn't want to leave it! The balcony had cushions and seats that looked out over a very pretty garden (with the scent of jasmine wafting over you) that in turn leads, in seconds, to the river, where you can also idle away your time enjoying the great location. Everything was spotlessly clean. The breakfast was lovely. The excellent and efficient owner and her staff were extremely helpful and kind. There is a very good riverside restaurant as well, serving excellent and authentic northern Thai food. It is located only two minutes walk from the centre of Pai and yet it is quiet."

"Comfortable stay just tucked away from most of the noise. There is a busy backpackers club next door which promptly stops the music around 12 o'clock. So if you have sleeping problems or kids, you may need to ask for a room away from the neighbours. It is a beautiful little boutique resort which is only a 3 minute walk to the night street where there are a number of market stalls. Pai is a pretty relaxed town so it will suit you if you want to walk around at a slow pace and relax. There are plenty of food options and many drinking holes along the way all seemingly at reasonable prices compared to the larger cities of Thailand. The resort had a few mosquitos in the room, but a bit of spray sorted that out. Bed was big and comfortable. Shower/ Toilet room was great. For sure would stay here again. Oh, there is also car parking available. We have been to Pai 4 times now and we really like this hotel. Staff were attentive. A nail was sticking up a little bit on one of the chairs so I asked for a hammer. They hammered the nail in, and then walked around to all the outdoor settings on the resort checking that the issue was not elsewhere. Amazing, I am kind of used to people just fixing the presenting problem. This kind of illustrates the care they take at the resort."

"This is my second visit to the Reverie Siam, and I loved it just as much. Delightfully, this time I felt no obligation to go and do any tours, and so I lazed my days away at the hotel, which it is certainly designed to support. There are two pools, a traditional rectangular one and a more family friendly organic shaped one, which some of the rooms can step straight out into. The buildings and grounds are all charming, a successful mix of Mediterranean planting and colonial "Indochine" architectural style. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and elegant. And the riverside pavilion is unbelievably peaceful (and barely used!). The breakfasts are included in the room price, and very generous (I learnt from last time not to have all the courses offered!) The bar itself is pretty well stocked, has a surprisingly good selection of spirits and wine. And the food is Mediterranean inspired (which I have to confess would be my one wish: if they also had some delicious Thai options on the menu, to me it would be perfect!). They offer free shuttles into town, but if only takes 15 minutes to walk in. The quiet little hamlet the hotel is attached to, just outside Pai, seems to be developing as a more independent hub - there are a few decent cafes, though bafflingly they all shut firmly by 6pm. (Why?!) However, there are worrying signs of development all around, and a large new ugly market building, hope they're not going to build too much round here. Note: once in the hotel, you can't see or hear any of this, it's all at a slight remove. Overall I loved my trip, you won't regret booking here. Want to give a shout out to Tida Massage on one of Pak's main streets (a few doors down from Charlie & Lek restaurant), it's not listed on TripAdvisor and I can't add it. Run by two lovely ladies (and their cheeky cat), really great massage - and I have easy access to good/cheap massage living in China, so am not easily won over. I happened to try them out on my first day, and went back ever"

"we find the resort on Agoda and we book an extra offer, breakfast included. The resort is located just after the memorial bridge, on the Chiang Mai Road, so you just drive by when you come to Pai by minibus. you can ask you driver for a drop at the bridge!!!It’s only 8 km from the center, the hotel provide free shuttle every hour during the day until late (fees after 8pm). The STAFF is just FANTASTIC, very aware of your needs he set up EVERYTHING for us dring our stay, even the booking of the return tickets when we decide to leave PAI. We booked two Villa de Luxe, you can also book Villas and connected Villas if you want to share with friends or families. Most of the Villas are on a little lake, where a sick smog rise every morning, amazing view in the morning in a very quiet area!!!Beautiful and very swimming pool in the center of this lake, i just want to notice the lack of deck chair!! Open air bathroom well equipped rooms, breakfast is served from 7.30 until 11.00, you can also ask for a vegetarian one!! I highly recommended this place for your next stay in PAI!!! "

"We LOVED staying here at Pai Loess and would happily stay here again if we were back in Pai. The rooms are simple but clean, with working air con and a balcony with a hammock. Tam, the owner, is such a wonderful delight of a human. The free breakfast is basic but fine. The view and the location are amazing and so peaceful. PLUS, once we asked Tam to recommend a massage in town and she called her personal masseuse, who charged us 200 THB for the best massage of my LIFE. Would definitely recommend Pai Loess. "

"I'm only halfway through my stay here at Rim Pai Cottage but have no qualms saying now - I absolutely LOVE it here. I'm staying in the Junior Suite with river views and the room is spacious, the bathroom spotless and large and the verandah area is so large and comfy that I'm spending most of my time there, just enjoying the river. The air con is top notch, the wifi signal is strong, the water pressure in the shower is also strong. The grounds of the hotel are beautifully tended and stunning to walk around, with huge shady trees and lovely orchids and heliconia. The front gate of the hotel is at the quiet end of the walking street so you can easily pop out at night time and graze (very cheap food). There are 7/Elevens nearby and it's a 5 minute walk to the main bus station and Pai Expert Travel (definitely recommended!). Also close to plenty of cafes, laundry, massage and the Rabbit Cafe with fluffy bunnies to pet. Lastly, the staff are top notch, super friendly and helpful. "

"Mik and Toey were extremely hospitable and did everything they possibly could to make their guests comfortable. Because of their kindness and goodness, a sense of community develops at Pai Country Hut. Even though people stayed for different periods of time, and came from all over the world, we jelled and I believe that was due to how open Mik and Toey are plus the fact that huts are situated in a semi-circle so that we got to know each other. The location is perfect, just across the river, easily accessible on foot or scooters to the town. Mik knows a great deal about the town since he was born in Pai and is able to find places for visitors and to recommend places according to visitors' needs. I can honestly say this was the best place I have ever stayed because of the spirit of the couple who own and run it."
