Greetings from Pura Vida Pai Resort
This beautiful resort is surrounded by working farms of the Pai River valley yet is just four kilometers from the popular walking street.
Eight individual bungalows sit amongst terraced gardens, fish ponds, and flowering lotus. The open-air reception lobby has a drinks cooler and is always accessible. Breakfast is served on a terrace overlooking the main pond with the picturesque Pai Mountains in the background.
Renovated in 2023, each bungalow features air-conditioning, new spring mattresses, and high-quality linens. The upgraded wifi offers fast, reliable internet access from anywhere in the resort—in your bungalow, on your balcony, at breakfast, or relaxing in the gardens.
Our guests enjoy remote check-in, free breakfast, and free on-site parking. The resort owner, Mrs. Vanda Prigge, is happy to assist with airport transfers from/to Chiang Mai, planning day trips around Pai District and surrounding regions, renting scooters and bicycles, and arranging on-site massage services.
Pura Vida Pai Resort is an excellent choice for travelers looking for a peaceful, natural environment with a warm, friendly atmosphere with many extras.

EXCELLENT Based on 214 reviews Posted on Sophia D'Urso8 March 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the most amazing stay at Pura Vida! Vanda the owner made us feel like family. She was so generous with looking after us and recommending the best places to visit in Pai. She even taught my partner how to ride a scooter! Her staff are also so lovely. The facilities and resort are beautiful decorated with handmade artworks and the garden js maliciously cared for. It was a romantic and relaxing retreat for us as a couple. A nice surprise was the amazing speed of the internet too! Much better than any other internet connection I experienced in Pai and I was able to get some work done online. Highly recommend visiting Rabbit restaurant down the road for a delicious local dinner. Thank you for taking care of us Vanda and friends! We will be back.Posted on mudita12 February 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 이 곳은 빠이의 보석같은 곳 입니다. 나는 이 곳에서 매우 편안한 휴식을 취했고 모든것이 완벽했습니다. 호스트 vanda의 사랑과 에너지가 깊히 스며 있는 곳입니다. 매일 선택이 가능한 조식도 훌륭했고 스텝들의 미소와 친절은 빠이라는 곳을 빛나게 해줍니다. Vanda는 매우 사랑스럽고 매력적이며 친절한 호스트로 빠이의 천사입니다. 나는 나의 휴가기간에 다시 이 곳을 방문할 것입니다. 빠이여행에서 Pura vida 를 만난것은 행운이였고 4일동안의 여정에 큰 선물이 되었습니다. 스쿠터 대여도 숙소에서 가능해서 10분 거리 번화가 가는 길도 즐거웠어요. 이 곳에 온 모든 게스트들의 편안한 미소를 확인 할 수 있었습니다. 너무 그리울 것 같습니다. 그 곳에서의 아름답고 소중했던 시간들이 벌써 꿈결 같아요Posted on Suzzy Qu4 February 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

A Thai feel with all comforts you have at home. The breakfasts are wonderful and served by loving folks, abutting a pond filled with hungry fish :). Four or so kilometers outside of the hustle and bustle of town and yet next to two incredible restaurants- one of which is a walk away (the Rabbit) and the other (Two Sisters) is too but most probably won’t walk there (we did and loved it!). You can rent scooters and bikes- Vanda, owner, will give you insider’s tips on where to go in Pai. Vanda is warm, loving, helpful, generous and supportive- she and her two employees will make your stay extra special. Lucky us, we loved our stay.Posted on BEVOPANE MANGIOVINO31 January 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lugar simples mas bem confortável.

Super schöne Anlage, sehr gepflegt, schöne saubere Bungalows, gutes Frühstück, super freundlicher und aufmerksamer Service. Vanda is the best 🤩 Nicht zu Unrecht ist das Resort als eines der besten in Pai bewertet worden. Die Bungalows kann man nicht richtig abdunkeln. Es gibt drei Scheiben aus buntem Glas, die keinen Vorhang haben und nachts das Licht der Lampen aus dem Garten hinein lassen. Wer es nachts ganz dunkel haben will, der hat ein Problem. Es gibt viele schöne Plätze im Garten, wo man sich zB. zum Frühstücken niederlassen kann. Ich hätte mir noch Liegen oder Hängematten gewünscht. Aber das ist Meckern auf hohem Niveau. Ich kann das Resort absolut empfehlen. Das Preisleistungsverhältnis stimmt auf jeden Fall, die Lage etwas außerhalb finde ich von Vorteil. Wer motorisiert ist, der ist schnell in der Stadt.Posted on Christina Zuo9 January 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is more like a cute garden with a lot of plants, it feels so cozy. The room is suitable for two people, clean and comfortable. The stuff is very friendly and sweet. Highly recommend if you want some peace and space.
