Hotels near Smile camp, Pai

We really enjoyed Pai as it had so much to offer! You definitely should rent a scooter to get about. The hotel was quick and easy to check into. The owner works very hard. However the hotel was a little dated and could do with some cleaning in the bathroom. Our beds were comfy and we had an amazing view! Great location as if was 5minute drive away from everything! We loved the night market too! Amazing street food! I didn’t like the fact the owners dog constantly barked at motor cycles and wasn’t friendly towards guests. However a lot of time and love has gone into the hotel.

Overall a lovely stay with no issues. A great price for what you get. The hotel has a fantastic location on the Main Street. Everything is within a 10 minute walk. You can’t fault the location. The rooms are large and spacious. Clean and tidy. With a Fan and AC. Fridge, kettle, hairdryer, tea/coffee and water provided. The staff were lovely. They didn’t have good English, but tried there best. Breakfast was included. Was a selection of tea/coffee/juice/water, toast, cereals and fruit to have. With 1 choice of a freshly cooked main dish, such as omelettes.

Of all the pluses of the hotel I can only mark the pool and location of the hotel. All the rest is minus. The hotel is old, in the room is broken showers, the sockets are broken, the carnisses are broken, feared to touch anything so that it doesn't fall, all the twisted.. But the most important minus is the hearing in the rooms! We couldn't sleep, screaming down in the bar until the night, then the neighbors returned. In general, even for this money, wouldn't have returned.

we love the villa. we was upgraded by Mr Van to the Grand Villa which consist of 3 rooms of course with a private pool too. Mr Van & Sam are so helpful every time i have requests they will fulfil it . It was a memorable & relaxing stay in this secluded area . We love it. Definitely will be back when i'm Pai. 🤩

Not a bad place to stay for a couple of nights. It’s within walking distance of the main downtown area of Pai. Good little local restaurants nearby. Easy to find across the street from the Purple Gorilla Backpackers. The shower floor looked pretty grungy (flip flops were provided) and the WiFi strength was sketchy. But the shower water pressure was good, the a/c worked well and the bed/pillows were comfortable. It cost $27/night for 3 of us. The front desk spoke some English. Coffee and tea available in the lobby in the mornings. No restaurant or breakfast provided. Room included a fridge.

The hotel is not big, and there are several rooms that seem to have not been renovated. It is about one kilometer away from the bus station. The key points are the advantages: 1. The service of the hotel is very good. There is a young man who can speak Chinese to take care of the pick-up and drop-off, which is convenient for entering and leaving; 2. The waiters are very enthusiastic, and the Chinese brother explained to us for a long time with the map; 3. The breakfast is rich, with rice noodles, fried rice noodles, various fruit juices, and the taste is not bad; 4. We are the only Chinese in the whole hotel. Sunrise came to have breakfast, and there were only seven of us; 5. We booked a room on the first floor where we could go boating directly, and the price was only 500 (RMB), with free fruit and afternoon tea.

This resort is perfectly located a few short miles from the busy activity of Pai town and major tourist attractions. The bungalows are spread across the landscaped terraces, separated by flowering trees and fish ponds. The resort sits among the rice fields of the Pai River valley, with views of mountain ranges on two sides. The setting is peaceful -- with the sounds of tree frogs, wild birds, geckos and the occasional farm animal providing a natural orchestra. The new owner, Vanda, is a fantastic hostess and goes out of her way to make sure your stay is comfortable and you have the information you need to make the most out of Pai's many attractions. In Jan 2023 the resort installed new, spring mattresses and upgraded internet service and wifi technology to the best available in Thailand. The free, high-speed wifi service is available resort-wide, making the Pond Terrace a perfect shared workspace for digital nomads and those traveling for work. The breakfast options (included in the price) included Muesli with yogurt or honey, French Toast, or full American Breakfast. Fresh tropical fruit from local farms is included with each. Finally, the coffee options included American coffee, espresso, cappuccino, latte made from freshly ground coffee beans from northern Thailand. We have lived and travelled in Thailand for 8 years. This resort ticks all the boxes! We will return--often!

After a long period of epidemic, I finally came back and stayed at my beloved hotel again. I love the environment, scenery, and food as much as ever, so much so that I dragged my friends to stay in the hotel for 24 hours. When I went out, I felt that I didn't want to book a room here.

Absolutely stunning! I had a wonderful three night stay, by myself (female), in a standard villa. The resort grounds are well kept while maintaining a natural feeling. The mountainous views from my room, the pool and the breakfast area were divine! It was quiet and peaceful, exactly what I needed. Enjoyed walking around at sunset. The staff were unbelievably kind, accommodating and attentive. Breakfast was included along with drinking water and fresh towels. They made my breakfast vegan for me upon request. Can’t beat fresh mango and banana every morning! My room was clean with working amenities including fan, air conditioner, how shower and fridge. There were little benches to sit out front, which could have been a little wider, so I enjoyed the hammock instead. The pool is big, beautiful and when I was there was perfectly very clean. I felt comfortable swimming and sitting on the pool chairs. The resort is located ten minuets outside of town and the staff will drive you in and out of town, free of charge. I wanted to be away from town but still accessible and that’s exactly what I got. There are some places along the main road you can walk to (or bike to , you can borrow a bike), such as Coffee in Love. When I arrived at the bus station I called and they directed me to turn right and head a few mins down the walking street and wait at the 7-11 on the corner. This is where I was dropped off and picked up other times I went into town. When the walking street was open to cars they drove me right to the bus station to leave. It’s definitely on the older side, but that didn’t take away from my experience.. it added to it! I felt so at home and well taken care of the whole time. My entire stay was 10/10 and I would definitely return again.

The villa is beautiful, though the walk from the check in to the villa is far (we got the river view) so not for those handicap people to lug bags around. The spa pool in the room are not cleaned, so it's a waste of one of the best features. The entrance is hard to find so try not to go at night, one 1 staff working that I saw for check in, the walk to the villa is also quite dark. TIPS: Quite alot of insect, so bring your own insecticide if you hate bugs. They have a hot spa pool though, bring your swim suit.
