Baan Pai is a small, barely-English-speaking Thai family operation set well back from the beach at Khlong Chao behind Khlong Chao Sea View. There's four rooms which have been recently constructed as their predecessors were sparse and very old. It's a good, cheap choice of you can't find anywhere else to rest your head. Bathrooms have had a revamp but are still quite basic, but they seemed clean at least. The family run a small restaurant on a platform overlooking the mangrove forest and river estuary where decent Isaan food can be had; check out the BBQ chicken and sticky rice!. A good location for active people as it is located on the riverside, 100m to the beach, and only a half a kilometre to the trails for the waterfall and fireflies.
