Sun Moon Pai Bungalow

4.7(24 reviews)

Tucked away in the Mae Hi area of Pai District, Sun Moon Pai Bungalow offers a back-to-basics retreat for travellers seeking peace, nature, and genuine value. The property comprises a small cluster of six simple bungalows, each with its own private bathroom and hot shower, set within a naturally green and quiet environment that feels well removed from the bustle of central Pai.

Bungalows are described by guests as clean and cosy, with fresh bedding and a calm, homely atmosphere fostered by the family-run operation. A shared open-air communal area with basic cooking facilities allows guests to prepare their own meals and connect with fellow travellers, adding a community-style feel to the stay. The road from the property also provides a convenient shortcut back into central Pai, with restaurants and other amenities within easy walking distance.

Reviews from Google

Great place to rest from busy central area and yet accessible, about 12 minutes walk from Walking street. Bungalows are simple and clean. Family business and no complications. Good value for money. They have a shared kitchen well organized and equipped for simple meals.

Cute bungalow with own bathroom with hot shower. Clean, cozy mattress and pillow (very new) is bit hard for my liking (getting used to it) I still had a good sleep because it is so quiet in the night. A 10 minute walk to the center. Owner is very helpful. There is a water kettle and free coffee and bananas. Good value for money. I would go back.

A real down to earth experience ! Rustic small basic shelters that are very bare bones. There is a common open air style area where you can cook, make coffee etc. The vibe in this tiny 6 shelter community is without absolution being strongly related to self awareness and finding sprituality. Tear away your virtual being, and with a open mind stay at Sun Moon Pai Bungalows where you may find the peace your were seeking :) ❤️
