Baan Tawan Guesthouse
Simple but clean and comfortable

What we say: 
Set down a quiet lane off Raddamrong Road, Ban Tawan is well signposted and easy to find -- just walk past the school on the way to the bridge and take the first right. Service gets mixed reports. They were certainly helpful and friendly when we visited but some guests have pointed to an unwelcome insistence on flogging treks. Rooms are nice, the garden's pleasant and the location is good too: by the river and tucked down a quiet street but only a short walk from the Pai action. Choose from a wooden chalet or cheaper rooms in a large wooden block -- either are simple but clean and comfortable. The chalets are a decent size with small balconies and two more expensive river view ones are available. There's a restaurant, cafe and internet access, plus trekking information available as well.

Pai good old days
This trip is my second time back to Pai. We used to stay at Baantawan guesthouse 5 year ago. We come back to pai and stayed here again. It feel like coming back to see an old good friend. The owner, Pat, is still living and working here. She is such a good host and taking care us so well. The house is nice, simple,garden is so green and the quality of services are the best here. We stayed at deluxe bungalow. We really enjoy looking out the garden from the room window. Great place to be in Pai.

FILTHY AND RUDE - AVOID THIS PLACE!!!
In all of my world travels Baan Tawan Guesthouse in Pai is the filthiest, loudest and most disappointing place I have stayed. ALL the rooms are dark, musty, covered in dust, cobweb. The beds have brown stained sheets, NO hot water, NO electricity for hours each day and on top of that a RUDE and uncaring staff. There is construction going on, a bar across the river that plays pounding music into the into the wee hours of the morning, cockroaches the size of an adult hand, overgrown plants with hordes of mosquitoes, and even a RAT was seen lurking in the dark during my visit. I was there for some rest and relaxation and this place was an absolute nightmare. Pai is a wonderful, small charming city with loads of accommodations that are cheaper and cleaner and where the staff actually cares about you. If you decide to stay at Baan Tawan YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

Absolutely great!
We stayed here for 4 nights and had a very good experience. Baan Tawan has some wooden houses and a concrete house with 6 rooms. We were in this last one for just THB 500. Our room was spacious and clean, same for the bathroom. It had A/C and a ceiling fan. From the balcony we had a nice view over the garden. I can't say anything about the restaurant, as it was low-season the restaurant was closed. The place is run by very friendly staff, who really seem te care about their guests. Next time we're in Pai, we'll stay here.

Fantastic
we stayed here for 5 nights in one of the riverside bungalows. At 500 baht it was a bargain - spacious inside, dble bed and 2 singles, large clean bathroom and a fantastic balcony with 2 recliners overlooking the river. The owner is very helpfull and will try to accomodate all your needs from booking treks to onward travel and motorbike rental. The food from the kitchen was excellent and ridiculously cheap, highly reccomended!

Loud and dirty
Terrible experience here. A family of 16 stayed next door and water heater was beyond useless. Mosquitos were also a big problem and the garden was more smelly and moldy than pretty. Sorry, but not enjoyable at all!
