The home-like
bungalows (incl breakfast only from October to February), here are spread out along a se-
cluded and beautifully wooded section of Mae Nam Pai. There are countless cosy river-
side corners to relax in and a palpable village-like vibe about the whole place. The interi-
ors have a romantic feel with their lacy mosquito nets and attractive Thai decorating de-
tails, and the open bathrooms are particularly nice.
Rim Pai is an excellent deal in the low season when the prices drop dramatically.

This former

rooms mingle pan-Asian and Western design elements in a tasteful, attractive package.

views being slightly larger and more expensive.

The older and more charming two-storey riverside bungalows made with salvaged teak
are the reason to stay here, but there are also spacious (and less expensive) rooms in a
large two-storey building. Service is first-rate, and Baan Tawan is located on a relatively
isolated stretch of the river. Breakfast included.

Pai River Villa
( 0 5369 9796; pairivervilla@gmail.com; 7 Th Wiang Tai; bungalows incl breakfast 1200-2500B; )
This
place boasts some of the more attractive riverside bungalows in town. The air-con bunga-
lows are spacious and stylish, and have wide balconies that encourage lazy riverside re-
laxing and mountain viewing, while the fan bungalows are a significantly tighter fit.
