Breeze of Pai Guesthouse

Checkin ging best snel. Parkeren bij de ingang, er waren 2 plaatsen beschikbaar. De bungalows waren best goed voor de prijs. Bed was goed en douche en wc waren ok. Temperatuur van douche kon voldoende geregeld worden. Deur kon dicht met hangslot als je uit ging. Van binnen kon het gewoon op slot. Geen gebruik gemaakt van algemene ruimte bij de receptie.

Very old, shabby hostel with mold on the ceiling and a door that doesn't close properly. As well as the owner who is very insolent and rude when we told him, he threw us out. Strongly not recommended especially since there are much better ones in Pai for the same price.

I was hesitant about my stay at Breeze of Pai because of a few reviews people had about the owner, and I was a female traveling solo. However, I found him to be friendly and helpful, and kind of like a dad/uncle vibe. I'd say this definitely has the cleanliness and design of a 2-star hotel, maybe even a hostel. But I understand the type of tourists that visit Pai are OK with this. I think I just discovered I'm a bit pickier with future accommodations. There were ants in the upper corner of the shower, and the water pressure and temperature weren't great. I just found myself trying to shower as quick as possible. Two bars of soap are provided, so coming from hotels that had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash was an experience. I found myself Googling how to detect bed bugs but there were any. All in all, just my paranoia and snobbery setting in. I'd say if you're good with that backpacker, bare bones lifestyle this place is perfect. I was able to park my scooter rental easily and it's walkable to the walking street and everything else. And really close to the bus stop from Chiang Mai. There's also a ton of plants which are lovely. And I didn't realize it until I was checking out, but there were free bananas for guests at the counter. All in all, I'd say there are similarly priced hotels that seemed nicer that I kind of wish I had looked more into.
