Bueng Pai Farm บึงปายฟาร์ม

For the simple living, the hospitality, and the price this is a 5* experience. The accommodation is very simple, but you are being treated as if it was a 5* hotel. The hosts are extremely sweet and helpful. It is located 30 mins walk/7 min on scooter from Downtown Pai, so you get a more quiet experience compared to the busy and vibrant nights in Pai. The nature experience is more authentic as the place is located in the middle of a rice field. Apparently many guest stay at the place again and again witnessing that the place has an addictive effect on its visitors. I recommend bringing ear plugs and sleeping mask since the hut is made out of bamboo and the window blinds are very thin. Scooter rental is a must, but check reviews before renting in Pai.

From the moment you arrive Ron and Orn, the owners will make you welcome as well as the parrot! I did not have a reservation but discovered this place when travelling on my moped looking for places to stay in Pai. Set amongst the back drop of stunning paddy fields, along a quiet road, Bueng Pai Farm is a beautiful family run guest house. Bungalows in keeping with the Thai tradition, basic but nicely furnished, set next to a small lake filled with amazing fish. Stayed here for 4 nights and fished for one day. Ron helped me fix a small issue with my moped and Orn gave me a gift and good luck mementos for my long journey back to Chiang Mai. If you are looking to be a short drive away from the centre of Pai and the backpackers then you cannot go wrong choosing here.
