Two Huts Pai
This is a viewpoint that happens to serve drinks, and it helps to think of it that way before you go. The hillside position looks out over the Pai valley and the mountain ranges behind it, and the whole place fills up for sunset. Live music, popcorn, a bottle of soju, coffee, cocktails. Some people rate the food highly and some think it's overpriced for what arrives, which is fair warning either way. One reviewer was charged 20 baht for hot water, so don't assume small extras come free.
My advice: aim for around 4:30pm and you'll have your pick of spots before the crowd builds. Bring sunglasses, because the late afternoon light comes straight at you. If you'd rather have the view without the sunset scrum, come earlier in the day with a coffee and you'll have the place mostly to yourself. Service reports swing from warm smiles to feeling ignored, so it's a bit of a lottery on the day.

One of the best view of the valley below with the incredible mountain ranges!!! Restaurant has very very delicious food, way better than Night Walk Market! Delicious coffee as well. Beautifully decorated in an incredible view point. Great customer service with friendly smile!!! Scale 1-10: Food-10 Price-9 Service-10 Atmosphere-10 Cleanliness-10
Terrible, don't go. Just kidding.☺️ It is...an absolute MUST...I just don't want to let the secret out.😁 Stunning spot to enjoy sunset with everyone else soaking it in. That's what makes the energy so good... Dreamy views of glorious sunsets with chill live music (loved the singer!). And the food?! Fresh and fantastic. Cocktails, too. Loved the mojito. Def our daily sunset spot in Pai.🌅
To be honest, highly not recommended this place. So overrated and overpriced. The stuff we’re looking at me and treating like a homeless person, not friendly at all The food is so pricey and not that many choices what to take. The view is good, but there so many other places that offer you the same view with more kind treatment. Also my boyfriend ask for some hot water for his tea and that was the first place in whole Thailand who ask money for that! 20 baht for just a hot water when all the places did it for free Also, they start working kinda late, so there is no options to see the sunrise

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
