Baan Krating Pai Resort

A beautiful resort that needs some tlc. The staff are amazing, and the pool and deck is 1st class. The guesthouses are spacious and clean. It’s just that the grounds and buildings are needing some updating. The sidewalks have broken up a bit, the grounds are expansive and are more ‘natural’ than the pics show. And the guesthouses need some maintenance. It is a bit far from town so I’m glad I had a motorbike. This all being said, I really enjoyed my two nights there and would stay again.

Tranquility. This is the first impression that came to mind. The gentle winding walking paths which led to each independent cottage was flanked by a soft shallow rill thar delivered a wonderful combination of sound and movement to the space, it enhanced the contemplative and restful atmosphere. I was even pleasantly surprised with the occasional jumping of small carp. Hospitality. I was greeted with a genuine "Sawasdee Ka" from the lady receptionist who quickly provided a cold glass of water as she recognized I was quite warm from hiking to the resort from Pai with a mid-sized backpack. The check in was easy, my reservation was there despite my last minute decision during the week to venture for the weekend getaway. I was propery escorted to my cottage as i chcked in after dark. The room was large, clean, had all the basic amenities to accommodate my stay and gratefully had A/C that worked quietly and quickly. I personally liked the layout design of the bathroom. The front and back decks were quaint and added to the idyllic imagery. I did explore the area a little. The pool looked well situated and maintained however I was out exploring the area and sights around Pai. If I was spending a week there i would have taken advantage of the pool and restaurant. Overall it met my desires and I would definitely recommend to those who want serenity. I will return here again.

Hotel is just ok. Needs some work to get more stars for me.
