ผผู้เข้าพักOut of a two-week road trip in northern Thailand Baan Chok Dee Pai resort was the worst place we stayed in. The rooms are really tired, not very clean and generally run down. The bed was quite firm which is normal for Thailand, and the room felt quite damp and musty smelling. The room did have a fridge and kettle which was good, and the shower had a good temperature and pressure. We did not use the pool, but it did look clean. The breakfast was poor, the eggs were cold and there was not a very good choice. The resort was used by groups of young people on organised trips, so I don’t think they would have paid the £25 a night as we did. All in all, I think Pai in general is ripping off the young back packers, who clearly do not realise that they can get far superior rooms in other towns, so there is no reason for the resorts in Pai to charge so much, this resort should not even charge 400 baht for these rooms.
ผผู้เข้าพักIf you're looking for a truly immersive cultural experience, this is the place for you. It wasn't quite what I expected, but in a unique and memorable way. The ”cottage room” was charming but different from what I anticipated. It had no windows, except for the door, and the walls were constructed with bamboo, and for the windows there were branches that created gaps instead of traditional glass windows. As a result, I could hear the loud music from neighboring guests and the constant hum of traffic from the nearby road. Thankfully, earplugs were provided to help dull the noise.
I stayed in early November, when the weather was cool and rainy, so it wasn’t uncomfortable, but I imagine it could be much less pleasant during the summer months, despite the fan provided in the room. The communal bathroom is separate from the cottages but has a cozy, quaint feel.
The hostess was an absolute delight—welcoming, warm, and kind-hearted. Her generosity made the stay even more special. Overall, it was a one-of-a-kind experience that I won't soon forget.
