Baan Krating Pai Resort

Tranquility. This is the first impression that came to mind. The gentle winding walking paths which led to each independent cottage was flanked by a soft shallow rill thar delivered a wonderful combination of sound and movement to the space, it enhanced the contemplative and restful atmosphere. I was even pleasantly surprised with the occasional jumping of small carp. Hospitality. I was greeted with a genuine "Sawasdee Ka" from the lady receptionist who quickly provided a cold glass of water as she recognized I was quite warm from hiking to the resort from Pai with a mid-sized backpack. The check in was easy, my reservation was there despite my last minute decision during the week to venture for the weekend getaway. I was propery escorted to my cottage as i chcked in after dark. The room was large, clean, had all the basic amenities to accommodate my stay and gratefully had A/C that worked quietly and quickly. I personally liked the layout design of the bathroom. The front and back decks were quaint and added to the idyllic imagery. I did explore the area a little. The pool looked well situated and maintained however I was out exploring the area and sights around Pai. If I was spending a week there i would have taken advantage of the pool and restaurant. Overall it met my desires and I would definitely recommend to those who want serenity. I will return here again.

Hotel is just ok. Needs some work to get more stars for me.
