What we say:

One of the oldest guesthouses in town, Duang House has had a slight facelift but could maybe do with another. It is a good deal though and the better rooms are fine, plus they do have a commendable same-price-all-year-round policy. The guesthouse is something of a labyrinth, since various parts have been added randomly over the years, and rooms are highly variable. The cheapest are probably worth avoiding unless you're really desperate. Situated in a noisy corridor near the restaurant they're dingy without enough space to swing anything, let alone the proverbial cat. For 300B though you get a slightly larger room with your own shower and TV, while for 400B you can go for a chalet in the, admittedly cramped, garden. Note that though the address is Rungsiyanon, the entrance is actually on Chaisongkran Road. The cafe and bar area on the street is not a bad spot to sit and watch the action. If you like bus stations you can't ask for a better view of one, as there's one directly opposite.

Authentic place

We stayed in a fan room, shared bathroom and it was 150B not as stated above. The double room with attached bathroom was 200B. Our room was really cool, you had to climb up a step ladder to reach it. It was very old, but very authentic. Clean enough but no towels provided. The only downside about staying in Pai town is the horrendous howling from the dogs at night. Anyone would think they turn into werewolfs the racket they make! Duang is very friendly and can arrange treks but no pressurising if you didn't take them. Didn't eat in the restaurant.
