The wooden bungalows at Pana occupy a quiet spot quite a way out of Mae Hong Son. The rooms are average size, with attractive design features like wooden slat windows looking out on narrow balconies, and 'natural' bathrooms with tropical plants and stone. The huts are set in a cultured jungle, with banana plants and palms in abundance. Friendly staff serve food and drinks and offer tour services from their open-air restaurant, while a campfire creates atmosphere on cold winter nights. If you're looking for cable TV and breakfast in bed then look elsewhere, but if you want to experience a truly rustic and authentic jungle vibe you can beat Pana. Miss Thai, the host, is a friendly character who will only add to your enjoyment.

An oasis in he dust and heat a - 14th April, 2007
Stayed here in low season when it was smoky and hot, but the price was right (400 baht,) and Thai (The host) was fantastic. Thai welcomed us with cold drinks, fruit and had time for a chat. She is very knowledgeable about the surrounding area. The bungalows were exceptionally clean and are well decorated and thought out. I'd recommend it to anyone when the trees are green and the season is high.

very nice guesthouse - 9th January, 2007
Miss Srithai runs her new Panahuts guesthouse very well. 'Pana' means forest, so, the super clean bungalows are situated in a beautifull jungle-like garden. 600 bath/night, (breakfast included) is not cheap, but the quality of room and breakfast is high standard, with a marvellous nice open air bathroom. A 15 min. walk to the citycenter is disavantage, but in recompense, you can enjoy a splendid scenery.
