Rim Pai Cottage

We liked this place. Right across the pedestrian street that is packed every night with food stalls and includes many bars and restaurants. The cottages are very nice, lots of privacy and quite charming. Very friendly and obliging staff, connected us with a driver who we rented for 1.5 days to show the things around Pai. The exotic garden around the houses and the swimming pool provide a lot of privacy but also shade. Nice when it's hot, but it also meant maybe 2 hours of sunshine by the pool. The pool is next to the breakfast restaurant and the river, there are 5 beds by the pool and another 4 or so by the river, plus two swings and a hammock. Free bottles of water every day in the fridge. Sturdy mattresses but we still slept well. 7-Eleven is only a 5 minute walk away.

Room too cold. This time of the year after sunset temperature dropped to 8 or 13 degrees Celsius. The walls are thin and we did not try the heating function of the aircon, maybe we should have because every time we felt cold. Hot water to shower seemed to get too cold after about 5 minutes, so bad luck for the second person to shower. The door to the bathroom is so short that my girlfriend bumped her head like 3 times. Noise from bars until around 11 p.m. (loud singing, beats), which can be a disadvantage if you have children or are a person that like sto get a sleep before that time, ask for a cabin in the back of the garden. It's a shame the restaurant doesn't serve drinks by the pool or lunch or something. T
