Hi all,
I will be in the north of Thailand (flying into Chaing Mai) for 5 days. I have heard great things about Pai and also want to be sure to check it out.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a great place to stay? Not looking for something lux, but would love something that has a lot of character and is nestled in the beautiful surroundings --- and, ideally, somewhere where I can meet other travelers.

Krabi is way nicer than Samui, which is now over-priced and polluted - don't expect clear water there.
