Baantawan Pai's Boutique Guesthouse

Quiet and away from Pai's bustle but near enough for forays into Walking Street area and/or other.

Finding the hotel can cause an accident. The main street is full of bikes going to fast and cars not looking. In the 2 days we stayed we saw 3 small bike acccidents. Once there, the staff was great, room a bit small. The bed was so close to the wall I had to curl my toes to squeeze between the wall and the bed frame. Room was clean. Security of the room consisted of a small pad lock. But for the things we really needed it was fine. Matress was comfortable, shower was hot and the grouds were beautiful. The garden was great. Many trees of different orgins. Once in the resort it was very quiet. We could hear the nothing but nature. The sounds of loud bikes was so faint. It was very nice. In the morning the breakfast was ok. Rice soups, Eggs, fried rice, hotdogs, noodles all warm. Cold ham, toast, oakmeal, coffee and juice. Not much but filling.

What a hidden gem. Booked this last minute. Pleasantly surprised as there were mixed reviews. I suspect people looking for all the creature comforts from home. I was given my own bungalow. Big room and huge bathroom. AC worked great, I had not water anytime I needed it. Has a rustic/bohemian vibe which I loved. Tucked away so it’s quiet but also super close to the market and restaurants. Breakfast in the more had multiple options. By far my favourite stop on my 21 day trip around Asia. Highly recommend this place.
