Pai Nam Now
Compare prices
Tucked behind Pai Walking Street on the peaceful far side of the river, Pai Nam Now offers bungalow-style accommodation that balances genuine tranquility with easy access to town. The property sits in the Mae Hee subdistrict, close enough to Pai's main attractions to walk, yet far enough removed that guests enjoy a noticeably quieter atmosphere than properties closer to the center.
Rooms and huts are well-maintained and spacious, with cleanliness consistently praised by guests. A standout feature is the homemade breakfast served daily, accompanied by fresh coffee — a detail that regularly earns mention in visitor feedback alongside the warm, attentive service from the owner and staff. The surrounding setting has a relaxed, easy-going character that suits travelers looking to slow down and settle into Pai's unhurried pace. The river crossing and short walk to Pai Walking Street means restaurants, markets, and nightlife are within easy reach without intruding on the property's calm.

Reviews from Google
We really loved our stay here. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and everything was clean and cozy. The location is also great, close to the main streets, but at the same time in a very quiet and peaceful area. In the evenings it was calm and relaxing. The only issue was that the shower drain didn’t work very well. Sometimes it was fine, but other times the water didn’t drain at all. Also, it was quite cold at night (we stayed at the end of January). Other than that, everything was simply wonderful. The breakfast was tasty and always beautifully decorated with fruits.
The huts are behind the walking street in a silent area at the other side of the river. You just have to take a 2-3mins walk and arrive to the middle of the night. Breakfast is exceptional, the rooms are cosy but nothing extra. Comfortable beds, shower opportunity and little terrace to enjoy the day or night. Definitely 5/5 in this price range and location wise.
We rented two rooms for four nights at Pai Nam Now, the property is well maintained & rooms were very clean. We enjoyed a delicious homemade breakfast daily and fresh coffee. Most of all we enjoyed listening to the beautiful birds singing.
