Description
Across a perilous bamboo bridge over the River Pai, Family Hut is one of a few basic bamboo-hut guesthouses which are very popular with backpackers although not particularly special. A restaurant provides a pleasant chill out area beside the river. Most of their accommodation is a standard structure on stilts, a mattress inside and shared bathroom facilities including hot showers. Larger, more solid bungalows have a private bathroom with hot shower either inside or down below, but these are a little over priced. Staff speak only basic English. A nice touch is the riverside massage shop connected to family hut which provides extremely tranquil services at 200B/hour.

Nothing special, but doable -

When we got to Pai, we just kind of wandered until we found ourselves on the other side of the river, and just grabbed a couple huts here. 200 baht for a double, shared bath with one hot shower and one cold one. My advice is that in Pai, you don't need much (at least if you're not staying too long), because you'll only be at your guesthouse to sleep. The nightlife is very friendly and chill, and you'll just want to be wandering around all day. Plus, you'll never forget the bamboo bridge across the river :).
