The
highlight here is the five riverside tented bungalows. Huge and equipped with air-con, hot
tubs, TV and other modern amenities, they redefine camping. The resort's two-storey bun-
galows are bright and airy, with the top-floor rooms allowing great views of the river, and
there are also rooms in the main wooden structure. Breakfast included.

Outside of Town
If you've got your own wheels, there are far more options outside of the centre of Pai than
we have room to list here. The vast majority are targeted towards domestic rather than for-
eign tourists, which means they fall in the mid- and upper-range of the price spectrum,
and typically take the form of air-con-equipped bungalow compounds.

The bamboo dorms here look
like they could have featured in an episode of
Survivor
. Communal areas ranging from
kitchen to fire pit continue the rustic feel, and there are a few air-con bungalows for those
with loftier standards. It's about 750m east of Mae Nam Pai, just off the road that leads to
Thai Pai Hot Springs.
