PuraVida Pai Resort

Vanda is warm, loving, helpful, generous, and supportive, and she and her two employees made our stay extra special. She also gives insider tips on where to go in Pai, and you can rent scooters and bikes. The breakfasts were wonderful, served by kind people beside a pond full of hungry fish. The place has a Thai feel with all the comforts of home. It's about four kilometers outside the bustle of town, near two incredible restaurants: Rabbit is an easy walk, and Two Sisters is walkable too, though most people probably wouldn't walk there. We did and loved it. We were lucky to stay here.

Vanda welcomed me so warmly that I felt part of the family from the start, almost like I was at home. She's wonderful and always has helpful tips on what to see and do. You can see her care in every detail of Pura Vida Resort, from the lush plants and little ponds to the thoughtfully laid out grounds. It's a peaceful spot in nature just outside Pai, but only five minutes by scooter or car from town. I had a wonderful stay and would come back anytime. Thank you, Vanda, for your warm hospitality and for making such a beautiful place.

We felt so at home in the hotel's beautiful, peaceful setting that we extended our stay, and we're eager to come back. Vanda welcomed us by name with real warmth and kindness. She took time to walk us through a detailed map and share great advice on sights to see, hidden gems, and local places to eat. She was compassionate and incredibly attentive. The hotel felt like a sanctuary, serene and beautiful.

Our first trip to Pai came with some lovely memories. The people here were so kind, and we had a barbecue in the backyard with some other guests. The room was clean and breakfast was good. Thank you, vanda, we love you. Hope we see you again sometime. We'll always miss Pai. Highly recommended.
