Rim Pai Cottage

Pai's accommodation boom continues, and the rumour on the ground during our visit was that there are more than 500 hotels, guest houses and resorts. Although 'downtown' Pai has seen relatively little change in this respect, there are tens of new resorts in an approximate 3km circle around the town. Despite the glut of accommodation, during the height of the Thai tourist season (December to January), accommodation in Pai can be nearly impossible to come by and tents are available for about 100B.
Keep in mind that prices fluctuate significantly in Pai, and nearly all the midrange and top-end accommodation cut their prices, sometimes by as much as 60%, during the off season. We've listed high-season walk-in rates here.
