Buzzas @ Pai Chan features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and restaurant in Pai.

Awesome stay at Buzza’s! Matt and Kay were the best hosts and treated us like family. The resort is an absolute dream and is about a 5-10 min walk to walking street. If you’re in need of some comfort food, check out the lasagna lady! Her name is Gigi and has a little stand offering a few different kinds of Italian deliciousness! Also, Almost Famous is a groovy bar with fabulous mojitos for 120 baht. Yummy!!

Located within 1.7 miles of Wat Phra That Mae Yen and 4.5 miles of Pai Canyon, TIMN Hostel Female Only provides rooms in Pai.

This is really a magnificent hostel for people who are digital nomads and want a serene, sterile stay. Extremely clean and. Is it extremely quiet. Before the door into the female hostel there is a large front area where a lot of office like computer workspace available in front. It's a 15 minute walk to town. If you like to converse with other travelers there is a coffee shop on the corner. The rooms do offer curtains for the bunk beds and a metal shelf space for each person to have their belongings hung.

I found this cute hostel when I was visiting the cafe underneath it and I'm so glad I did! It ended up being my favorite place in Pai and so affordable. I loved waking up in the morning and watching people drink their coffees or sharing a bite to eat at the food stalls outside. Furthermore, the staff that run the hostel make it more like a home than a hostel and organized a family dinner for us. The place is cozy and comfortable. I would totally come back here again :) Plus, the location is great and close to the main center of Pai!

Located in Pai, a 16-minute walk from Pai Night Market, JJ&J Garden has accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

The best thing about this hostel is the staff. The nicest and most helpful people you will find in Pai. It is a short walk to Pai walking street. For me it was nice to be in a quieter area and I still found friends in the hostel to spend time with at the pool. Lots of space to relax. The staff kept the room clean.

    This is a super cute guesthouse! I arrived to Pai with a low budget and I really wanted to be close to the center. The location is amazing, the room is simple and cozy, really kind host, and a fun balcony to hung out. I think it’s perfect for a solo traveler looking for a simple place in a great location. Definitely value for money!

    The hostel is absolutely amazing! Great location, not even 10min walk from town, the pool and the view are incredible, the pets are super cute and friendly. The staff is amazingly friendly and super helpful with everything. Dorms are comfy, spacious, cleaned and well maintained. This is a 11/10 hostel for sure! They have food and drinks with a decent price. Loved it so much I had to extend for one more night.

    The lady who runs the hostel is amazing! She can help you with literally anything - she can book your transport for the cheapest rate going, she got me a safety pin when i had a splinter and just in general i really felt like she was looking out for me which was so lovely especially as a solo female traveller. The beds too are super comfy with njce curtains and bathrooms njce too plus the garden is gorgeous - super nice place to chill you wouldn’t believe it’s right next to walking street - location could not be more perfect

    The best hostel we have stayed at in Thailand by far! Rooms are very clean and new, shower is amazing! Very sociable hostel! Bar open every night with good night life (special shout out to the bar man who was so lovely). The bar has all sorts of games out for you to get involved with… beer pong, connect 4, Uno, cards etc… met so many great people at this hostel! Great location and staff are very welcoming. Pool is clean and refreshing when it’s sunny. Cannot fault this hostel at all! Perfect for young backpackers who love to socialise!

    I think this is the best hostel in Pai! Good atmosphere and many opportunities to meet new people. The managers are very involved with the guests. Yoga classes are offered every day and trips are organized. The rooms are hygienic and comfortable enough. Good value for money. I would definitely go back here and regret not being able to stay longer.
