Sipsongpanna

Pai


The four adobe-style riverside bungalows here are rustic and quirky, with a mix of bright colours, beds on elevated platforms and sliding-glass doors opening to wide balconies. If you prefer to keep it old-school, there are also three older wooden bungalows. The hotel's about 2.5km from the town centre, off the road to Mae Hong Son; look for the well-posted turn-off about 1km from Pai.
