I like that the place is quiet and away from the main center, it’s not noisy and there are rice fields that are within walking distance but what I like the most is the host (she’s also the owner) she is very lovely, accommodating and kind. We arrived at night in Pai and we couldn't find any taxi so she came to pick us up at no charge, the breakfast was free and you could choose. This is a perfect place if you want to relax and just chill. To the owner, please keep your hospitality and kindness, that is what makes the place more lovely and not easy to forget😍

The view and lovely gardens

It is a lovely and charming place, small clean houses surrounded by the nature.The host, Vanda, is super nice. She helped us with all the stuff we needed: scooters, laundry etc. The breakfast was also very good.

Just keep in mind that the resort is located outside of Pai, few kilometers away. Make sure you either have your own mean of transportation (car, scooter) or are willing to pay for taxis - around 200-300 bhats depending on the time of day.

Pura Vida is a little piece of paradise just outside of Pai. Vanda, the owner, made us feel like family from the moment we arrived even going so far as to let us hire one of her cars for a couple of days. The breakfast is included and comes with delicious tropical fruits, and a choice of omelette , French toast, or cereal. We loved the quiet surroundings, the mountain air, and the friendliness of our hosts. Highly recommended!

Nothing to dislike and if you have a concern, I’m sure Vanda and her staff would assist!

We have no words to express how happy we are that we chose the Pura Vida Resort for our stay in Pai. First, the place is absolutely gorgeous. The decoration, the surroundings, its amazing. Secondly, the location of the hotel is perfect. You are in a much more peaceful place than the center of Pai, but still 10min away by scooter. Lastly, the staff of the hotel is all incredible and the nicest people we have crossed paths in our trip. We are so grateful to Vanda who came to pick us up from Pai, gave us private free scooter lessons, and was the most understanding when we fell from the motorbike (nothing serious but still the bike had some scratches). Overall, we recommend this to everyone, it will really improve your whole experience in Pai.

We had an incredible stay at Vanda‘s little green oasis outside of Pai. This whole place is filled with so much love and attention for detail and handmade things. Vanda has traveled the world a lot and is definitely one of the best hostess we‘ve ever met. From the folded elephant towels on your bed to the amazing breakfast, this is the loveliest hotel we discovered on our Thailand travels so far. Vanda provided us with a map of Pai and a lot of great tips about what to do and where to eat. As a couple in our mid 30s the vibe in Pai felt super young to us, driving 10 minutes from Pai back to Vanda‘s place was just pure relaxation and made us appreciate this calm and serene green space even more. Having a scooter is highly recommended though!

Pure bliss staying at this beautiful oasis, the garden is gorgeous and maintained by our lovely hostess Vanda! You can tell that she loves being at Pura Vida Pai. There are comfy places to sit scattered throughout the garden area and restaurant. We spent half the day just relaxing and reading. We had a delicious breakfast of yogurt, fruit and muesli and yummy rice soup. The rooms are colorful and very comfortable, windows with screens that we could open at night without using the AC. All in all a great place to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature! On a side note, my husband left his kindle in the room and Vanda contacted him and mailed it to our last destination out of the goodness of her heart. ❤️🙏❤️

Everything. Beutiful surroundings, lovely breakfast. everything we needed was solved easly and quickly. Vanda - the owner, is so wonderful, kind and lovely. She helped us with points of interest and recommendations. Also when the taxi driver didnt show up, she took us herself to the terminal. The staff was also super nice and helpful. strongly recommended.

Water pressure in the shower is a bit weak, but the water are hot and lovely.

We had a wonderful stay at Vanda‘s place. The resort is a very special and unique place, especially through the lovely details you can find everywhere. It’s a very peaceful area and with a scooter, it’s very easy to reach the city within 10 minutes. The rooms are super clean and the breakfast is amazing. And if there‘s anything you would like to know or need help with, Vanda or one of her friends will help you. Last but not least, we loved her staff and their kindness. This place felt definitely like home!

I loved everything. I give a lot of credit to Vanda and the staff. They don't just work here, they give 100% of their energy on making sure you have the best stay. I've never felt so relaxed and I've never stayed at a nicer place than this. The privacy was wonderful and the drive to town is very beautiful. Nature sounds and crickets put you to sleep every night with amazing stars to gaze at. I recommend the hula hula hut for sunset.
