they did a magnificent job! very nice people. they help you with excursions. additionally, they will point you to local vendors as well as main walking Street vendors, for food and otherwise. the hand you a map as soon as you get there for all the places that are known locations for travelers, and how to get there on your own. I cannot say enough good things.
pond in front of the property. where you can feed the fish, or eat breakfast. the garden on the rest of the property is even more beautiful with small ponds fishing flowers.

Wonderful friendly staff. The room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. The host provided lots of information about the sites in the area as well as dining options. The property is located about a 5 minute drive from Pai, giving you easy access to the town without all the noise and traffic. Upon leaving the send off was very warm and personable. I highly recommend the property.

Very comfortable cottages in a quiet, peaceful and beautiful garden setting. Butterflies, curious fish in the ponds and exotic plants put you right away into tranquility. You are in Pai and this property shows you what it means: relaxation and a chilling forget-your-life-at-home feeling. Vanda and her staff made our experience complete. Vanda offered us opportunities, listened and had a great understanding and warmness to deal with her guests. Next time in Pai is a no-brainer. This property makes you wanna come back for longer even shortly after arrival. A wonderful and perfect place. The cottages are very clean and had a very homey feeling. We were happy we went with Vanda to her friend's restaurant uphill. Fantastic food and spectacular sunset in the mountains in a very romantic setting. The cottages are a bit outside of Pai, but even without a vehicle transportation to get there and into Pai was never a problem.Unforgettable beauty. You see us back.

I came to Pai for a 2 day trip from Chiang Mai and ended up having a motorbike accident while in Pai that required that I stay in Pai for 2 more days. After going to the hospital and returning back to the PuraVida Pai Resort, I was met with nothing but kindness from Vanda, Jeff and their staff. She was kind enough to help me retreat my wound. And due to my inability to move much, Jeff brought me lunch and a late night plate of delicious fruit and bread. Vanda was kind enough to match me with another guest who was going back to Chiang Mai via Taxi, so that I could get back home. And they also arranged someone to drive the motorbike I rented back to Chiang Mai, so that I could return it. It took a lot of stress off of me. I don't think there could have been a better location in all of Pai for me to be injured in. The amount of help that I received was amazing. The location is extremely beautiful, serene, and quiet. Rooms are clean and have all the amenities you might want. And the staff is always super helpful. I realize that this is not the normal review, but I wanted to make sure readers understand that the people here go above and beyond to help anyone in need and are extremely kind hosts. I will most definitely return here when I find myself in Pai again. Thank you to Vanda, Jeff & the Pura Vida Staff!

I went to Pai to get away and enjoy some quiet relaxation. Pura Vida is that place. It's very quiet and the staff were great. The owner was away travelling while I was there but she made a point to call me via her staff to make sure everything was ok and to help with things to do. Be mindful - it's not in the heart of Pai - it's about a 15 minute peaceful and simple drive to town. Personally I loved this as I wanted to be away but if you are looking to be right in Pai all the time this may be challenging. But again getting to town is super easy and most activities are not right in Pai anyway. The rooms are nice - nothing fancy but comfortable. I would definitely return

Private Detached Bungalows in Manicured Jungle

My son and I had an amazing stay at the Pura Vida bungalows. Noi is great. She meets you for breakfast, asks you about your day before and tells you what you can do next, maybe the caves or the waterfalls or sunset at the canyon, or visit the elephants. Breakfasts are made to your order. I asked for 4 eggs instead of 2. The hotel is located a few kilometers outside Pai. Most residents get around by little automatic scooters, but you can also rent a car. The private detached Thai bungalows are located in the middle of your own private manicured jungle, even in the dry months. You won't be disappointed.

Beautiful tranquil property. Great for couples, relaxing. For me, it was a little out of town but I made it work. The owners are wonderful Andrew so helpful. They arranged a tour for myself and our friends, and were present every morning at breakfast. I really enjoyed my stay during my time in Pai.
