Pura Vida Pai Resort

Truly enjoyed our stay at Pura Vida Pai Resort! The owner is very warm and helpful. She drove us to and from the bus station in Pai and provided a detailed map of all the attractions and best restaurants. Breakfast is included and delicious! Nestled between beautiful landscaping and overlooking a quiet pond is a great way to start every morning. The beds are comfortable and each unit has AC and hot showers. Can’t wait to return, highly recommend!

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!

This is the nicest place I have ever stayed. Vanda, the owner, is so sweet and helpful. You will feel like family during your whole stay!

The bungalows are well made and beautifully decorated. The beds are large, comfortable, and the showers work perfectly with hot water.

There is breakfast in the morning and scooters available to rent.

Overall, the highlight of this place is Vanda. She is very knowledgeable about things to do in Pai, and she really knows how to make anyone feel welcome in her resort. We will be back!

What an idyllic spot! Tranquil and green with each set of guests having their own little villa (8 in total). Your choice of breakfast in a garden setting. Absolutely clean and comfortable with a hostess that is well traveled, speaks English and will go the extra mile to ensure your stay is perfect!

Lovely place about 4 km from town. It's a short ride and a beautiful place with clean, well equipped cottages and a lovely green area. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful, and there's a great viewing point up a hill nearby. If we come back to Pai we'll try to stay there again.

Pura Vida Resort was a 10/10 experience for us, the room was perfect, the garden and the place where it is located is beautiful and really peaceful, the breakfast was so good and the relation price/quality was amazing.
All of that without forgetting to mention the incredible staff that manages the hotel, they will help you with all you need, even if they don't have to. So thank you so much and we will come back 100% 🥰

Lovely hideaway in Pai.
A bit out of town but that adds to the charm. It's away from the noise and crowd.
Beautiful garden
Rooms were cosy.
Breakfast by the pond is so peaceful
Vanda is a wonderful host- very warm and helpful

Vanda’s beautiful puravida Resort is a magical place. The Garden is Decorated so lovely and you can feel the good Energie. The Breakfast was Perfect and the Service is more then you can Imagine. 10 of 10 Stars.
Very Artful Place thank you so much Vanda!
Made our Pai Trip Special.

Amazing place, very beautiful and colorful!
Vanda and her staff are so kind and lovely 💛
The area very pleasant and relaxing, the room very clean and comfy.
Also great coffee and breakfast!
Highly recommend 🙏🏽

Oh we were so happy we picked here. VANDA is a joy and we ended up with basically a personal taxi driver. Highly recommend the first river restaurant and 1000 percent go to Hula Hula. Vanda deserves all her good reviews..our cabin was lovely and it was great

Quiet place in the middle of nature just a bit outside of Pai. But they offer scooters to get around. (5-10mins to Pai city center) The owner is super nice and gives a lot of advice on what to visit. The breakfast is western style with three different breakfast choices. The rooms are very cozy and romantic. The hotel is surrounded with rice farms an cows. I would come here again.

Lovely place with kindly heart and warming service💗
We spent 2 nights here and Vanda was so nice and helpful when first we came here she helped us with planning a trip here I would say if you have a chance to visit Pai. Do not miss this place!

A tranquil and cosy place. Away from the town centre but that is where it gets its serenity and beautiful nightscape.

The garden is well tended and natural with beautiful greenery attracting birds and butterflies. You get the freshest air in Pura Vida everyday. Thanks to Vanda and her staff!

This is our 2nd visit to Pai and after browsing through various choices, we still chose Pura Vida.

It has been a lovely stay and we just regretted not planning more days here. Next time we will. :)

I love Vanda and Puravida house! Vanda was really kind and exellent in hospitality. We were happy to be there.
It is best to contact Vanda before your departure so you can get a ride to Puravida house.

Wonderful hosts in this wonderful intimate resort!
Easily accessible from Pai in a peaceful setting, surrounded by ponds full of fish, beautiful flowers and plants.
Bungalow is equipped with everything you need, has comfortable beds and is exceptionally clean.
Had great two nights here and would return in a heartbeat!
I highly recommend it!

Lovely resort with great service. For the price it is so cheap. The owner is the kindest lady and best host at any hotel I have stayed in Thailand (which is a big feat). Its a little out of town but this makes in tranquile and only a short drive into town.

Lovely place full of plants and flowers surrounding by water gardens
It’s a 💎 in the Pai countryside
The place is full of little details and looks very well look after by Vanda de owner how help you in every way to feel at home
You can respired love here 🌸🐟🦋⛩

Beautiful place to stay, quiet setting, beautiful grounds. Hidden gem!

Lovely decor, has jungle vibes walking through the grounds, great place to stay to chill out and ground yourself.

Lovely ride on a scooter or car to town because you pass by rice fields with buffalo/cows.
5-10 min drive to town (rent a scooter for the adventure!)
Hidden gem away from the noisy main town area.

Thank you Vanda for a lovely stay! & hilight of writing on one of those hanging blessing charms was very sweet during the end of the stay! Xoxo!

Pai is amazing and Pura Vida made it even better! Amazing location and incredibly friendly and kind host. Drove us from and to the bus and even learned me how to drive a scooter. Thank you Vanda for everything !!

Perfect location,nicest host ever! She picked us up at the busstation and did everything possible to make us comfortabel. The breakfast is really good too!
