A change from the proliferation of European - Thai run places around -- this one is Australian - Thai owned. And very nice too, with a delightful garden full of ginger and heliconias and very nicely designed chalets with a superb little pool as well. The 10 chalets are wooden, octagonal and can actually open on six sides, leaving your mosquito net covered bed open to the night air. Great for a warm night! (The en suite bathrooms don't open on all sides.) Good one for families this, since, as well as the pool, there's a little playground. Situated just by Mae Yen village, it's a fair walk from Pai but easily doable for the energetic. Rates are very reasonable and service friendly and helpful.
