Loved our stay at Pai Country. It's close enough to town (just across the small bamboo bridge, which is an experience all in it's own) but far enough that you get peace and quiet. Hut was basic but lovely. Mossie net and hot water, hammock on the porch. Staff was nice as well. Resort does not have a restaurant but we were in town all the time anyways. They do offer free coffee and tea which is a nice touch. Huts set in a garden..nicer than some of the others on this side of the river that are set in just a field in the hot sun. Good budget option overall!
