Pai
If you can’t score one of the six cute, compact treehouse rooms here (they’re popular), there are several other attractive and much bigger bungalows, many near the river. On the vast grounds you’ll also find elephants and floating decks on Mae Nam Pai. The atmosphere is family friendly. The resort is 6km east of Pai, just before Tha Pai Hot Springs.
Chinese tour groups often stop by just to take a look.
