This is a really great place and Gummy is a great host.

The place has all you need, it’s clean and fairly new and with a 10 minutes walk you are in town. Go there, you’ll enjoy for sure!

UP2U Guesthouse, hotel in Pai

Right next to the river with views of the mountains and plenty of hammocks and chill out areas it was just gorgeous to be in the mountains and waking up to that view every morning. About a 10-15 minute walk to Pai walking street. Facilities were pretty basic but true to local standards and the location more than makes up for it. Socket by each bed, no curtains but mosquito nets! Comparatively cheap and efficient laundry service. Helpful staff :)

    This is a super cute guesthouse! I arrived to Pai with a low budget and I really wanted to be close to the center. The location is amazing, the room is simple and cozy, really kind host, and a fun balcony to hung out. I think it’s perfect for a solo traveler looking for a simple place in a great location. Definitely value for money!

    The hostel is absolutely amazing! Great location, not even 10min walk from town, the pool and the view are incredible, the pets are super cute and friendly. The staff is amazingly friendly and super helpful with everything. Dorms are comfy, spacious, cleaned and well maintained. This is a 11/10 hostel for sure! They have food and drinks with a decent price. Loved it so much I had to extend for one more night.

    The lady who runs the hostel is amazing! She can help you with literally anything - she can book your transport for the cheapest rate going, she got me a safety pin when i had a splinter and just in general i really felt like she was looking out for me which was so lovely especially as a solo female traveller. The beds too are super comfy with njce curtains and bathrooms njce too plus the garden is gorgeous - super nice place to chill you wouldn’t believe it’s right next to walking street - location could not be more perfect

Bar open every night with good night life (special shout out to the bar man who was so lovely). The bar has all sorts of games out for you to get involved with… beer pong, connect 4, Uno, cards etc… met so many great people at this hostel! Great location and staff are very welcoming. Pool is clean and refreshing when it’s sunny. Cannot fault this hostel at all! Perfect for young backpackers who love to socialise!

    I think this is the best hostel in Pai! Good atmosphere and many opportunities to meet new people. The managers are very involved with the guests. Yoga classes are offered every day and trips are organized. The rooms are hygienic and comfortable enough. Good value for money. I would definitely go back here and regret not being able to stay longer.
