Hotels With Swimming Pools in Mae Hong Son Province, Thailand

The hotel is located slightly out of the town centre… 10-12 min on foot, might be a bit tricky if you don’t drive. The management photos certainly don’t represent the true state of things, incl. swimming pool area and the actual rooms. The room itself was spacious enough and functional, however there’re certain things that took us by surprise to say the least. First of all, there’s no proper bathroom, instead there’re two microscopic spaces designated on a side (shower room & toilet) + sink located inside the room! Pillows super hard and difficult to sleep on, no hot water while taking shower only lukewarm at best. Next, the walls were full of various stains & marks, the bulkhead area (where the air-com unit was located) was all damp with plaster hanging in places, ready to peel off anytime. The space designed for the luggage was inadequate hence its wasn’t possible to spread anything down there which was a shame. Finally, for some unknown reason, on the terrace there’re no chairs or tables which again turned out to be a wasted space… On a positive note, the reception staff was very helpful and positive at all times. We liked the area around swimming pool since there’re not many people hanging around at the time. Air con worked well, so did the mini fridge & safe box. Strong wifi signal across the room and decent size TV. After we checked out, I asked if we’d use their luggage storage for 24 hrs and they happily agreed. Overall, there’s plenty to be improved in this type of hotel, in particular those few practical / aesthetic issues. I can’t say we didn’t enjoy our stay, however some of the things that I mentioned bothered us quite a bit and should have been resolved differently. I hope the management can take a closer look and address those matters in near future.

Nice hotel situated near to the main walking street in Pai. Our ground floor room was spacious with a large bed and lovely terrace overlooking the pool. The toilet and shower were a little bit claustrophobic. The pool was clean at the start of our stay however turned a murky green colour in the last days.

We had a wonderful relaxing time at the Quarter Pai. We had two rooms with a shared balcony for our family - two adults and two children. The rooms were spacious and tastefully decorated and the cleaning was effective. The hotel staff were helpful - for example using the pool net to rescue a small ball that nearly got lost under the low balcony outside our room. The pool was great for the kids and we spent lots of time playing in it. There are very shallow sections at one end for younger children. The reception staff were helpful and attentive, though sometimes google translate came in handy. The hotel is a a short walk out of town (5-10 minutes from the start of the main 'walking street') and the hotel runs a shuttle which is helpful on very hot days or in the rain. There was a lot of work going on at the hotel when we were there to spruce it up after the quieter times that all of the hotels in this area have experienced. Pai itself is lovely. There are tons of lovely small cafes and little shops. Lots of activities nearby. And it's easy to get to with a 3-4 hour bus journey from Chiang Mai. The hotel breakfast was good.

Lovely hotel, perfect walking distance from Pai centre. Free shuttle also offered. Breakfast is fresh and delicious. Big mugs for coffee, large bowls for cereal. Eggs made to order. Loved the finishing touches, robes, local soaps and herbal washes. Room is perfect, views to die for. Absolute value for money, would certainly book every time. My baby catered for with extra water, towels and a huge comfy cot.

The villa is beautiful, though the walk from the check in to the villa is far (we got the river view) so not for those handicap people to lug bags around. The spa pool in the room are not cleaned, so it's a waste of one of the best features. The entrance is hard to find so try not to go at night, one 1 staff working that I saw for check in, the walk to the villa is also quite dark. TIPS: Quite alot of insect, so bring your own insecticide if you hate bugs. They have a hot spa pool though, bring your swim suit.

The hotel has a great location, friendly staff, a great breakfast selection. The only drawback was our room number A108. It is located right in the passage from the breakfast rooms and with the balcony facing the restaurant area. As soon as breakfast was prepared, we heard everything, as well as the heavy chairs being moved. Additionally, the electrical box, which was on the wall of our room, was serviced on the 2nd morning. There was banging and it was extremely loud. The cleaning staff also had the “supply base” in front of our door and communicated via walkie talkie, which could also be heard loudly. I would recommend the hotel, but would absolutely advise against this room. Unfortunately it is far too loud.

Village hut style rooms are compact and non sound proof so your neighbor does hear u rocking the bed or squelchy floorboard while u walk around. 3 car lot just at front of hotel along a busy street that turn into a night market infused with scooters for rental and bars. Seconds away from street food. Lovely frog sounds while u sleep. Muzzie coil are provided daily. Simple breakfast menu and not bad chargrill steak at night. Housekeeping does provide random gift/staff every evening.

Great place to stay while doing the Mae Hong Son loop. Room was very spacious with a balcony with amazing views of the river and mountains around. There's plenty of parking for both cars and motorcycles in front of the hotel. Breakfast buffet had lots of options, like toast, eggs various ways and rice soups. Location was pretty good too, lovely along side the river and a delicious restaurant next door for dinner. Definitely recommend.

Out of a two-week road trip in northern Thailand Baan Chok Dee Pai resort was the worst place we stayed in. The rooms are really tired, not very clean and generally run down. The bed was quite firm which is normal for Thailand, and the room felt quite damp and musty smelling. The room did have a fridge and kettle which was good, and the shower had a good temperature and pressure. We did not use the pool, but it did look clean. The breakfast was poor, the eggs were cold and there was not a very good choice. The resort was used by groups of young people on organised trips, so I don’t think they would have paid the £25 a night as we did. All in all, I think Pai in general is ripping off the young back packers, who clearly do not realise that they can get far superior rooms in other towns, so there is no reason for the resorts in Pai to charge so much, this resort should not even charge 400 baht for these rooms.

The room was good. The second-floor sky room we lived in had relatively few mosquitoes and had a balcony, but it was blocked by a tree and the scenery in the distance could not be seen. The toilet is super big and it's a bit scary to be empty. The breakfast is delicious, and there are quite a few types. The waiter serves very well.

Absolutely stunning! I had a wonderful three night stay, by myself (female), in a standard villa. The resort grounds are well kept while maintaining a natural feeling. The mountainous views from my room, the pool and the breakfast area were divine! It was quiet and peaceful, exactly what I needed. Enjoyed walking around at sunset. The staff were unbelievably kind, accommodating and attentive. Breakfast was included along with drinking water and fresh towels. They made my breakfast vegan for me upon request. Can’t beat fresh mango and banana every morning! My room was clean with working amenities including fan, air conditioner, how shower and fridge. There were little benches to sit out front, which could have been a little wider, so I enjoyed the hammock instead. The pool is big, beautiful and when I was there was perfectly very clean. I felt comfortable swimming and sitting on the pool chairs. The resort is located ten minuets outside of town and the staff will drive you in and out of town, free of charge. I wanted to be away from town but still accessible and that’s exactly what I got. There are some places along the main road you can walk to (or bike to , you can borrow a bike), such as Coffee in Love. When I arrived at the bus station I called and they directed me to turn right and head a few mins down the walking street and wait at the 7-11 on the corner. This is where I was dropped off and picked up other times I went into town. When the walking street was open to cars they drove me right to the bus station to leave. It’s definitely on the older side, but that didn’t take away from my experience.. it added to it! I felt so at home and well taken care of the whole time. My entire stay was 10/10 and I would definitely return again.

Arguably one of the best hostels we’ve ever stayed in worldwide! Location is excellent, only 5 min walk to the main street including night market. Beds are comfortable, and dorm beds are equipped with curtain, shelf, huge locker storage, plug sockets conveniently placed and two lights above your bed. Wi-Fi works absolutely brilliantly throughout the entire hostel including in the room. Pool is spotlessly clean and there were always enough sun beds. Staff are very friendly and helpful, and can assist with booking tours (e.g tubing) and buses to Chiang Mai. We didn’t eat the food but it looked fantastic and affordable. Overall, perfect place to stay in Pai!

If Maehongson has a 'grand dame' of a hotel, this is it. It's the largest hotel and in theory the one local hotel that can offer full service options - catering for meeting and banquets/ receptions that are often held here by government officials. It arguably has the most beautiful and largest large pool in MHS, overshadowed by tall teak trees - very peaceful to swim in and/or just look out at from your poolside room. Rooms are large with comfortable sitting areas - AND as others have commented, they feel dated and somewhat worn - but they are clean and quiet, each with a decent sized balcony and I believe most rooms have a bathtub! Plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Most surprising to me was that the wifi was strong and worked great the entire stay. I did not expect this. I appreciate the wood floors and furnishings throughout the hotel. I was given an early check in which was so appreciated. A basic buffet was available the first day with made to order eggs as well as fruit, cereals and Thai options. On my 2nd day, the buffet options disappeared and it was just made to order eggs and cereal/toast/fruit/coffee and tea - apparently the buffet only happens if there are over 30 guests and this being the green season, numbers are down. Staff were helpful and friendly and there is an onsite massage available. The hotel is just outside of town so not really walkable into town - but if you have your own transport, this is a great option. And it is a great option if you just need a peaceful break from a mostly full service hotel with a beautiful pool. Long stay rates are also available beginning at 9000 baht  a month currently. 

The hotel is located on the lake, near the night market, in a quiet environment. The rooms are very comfortable and relaxed with all the necessary conditions for a successful stay. Effective Wi-Fi, swimming pool, parking, really a beautiful and good address

The peaceful Lanna style resort is about 8 km from the city. Staffs were very nice and so generous. They kindly offered a free room for our guide and driver :). The resort is divided into several zones. Our room was a Lanna style house in a vast shady garden. The room was clean and comfortable. It had a wooden floor and the decoration was in Lanna style. A fine buffet breakfast was held in the Lanna hall that provides a good view of Pai river and a green field at the opposite bank.

Nice location, 15 minutes drive to Ban Rak Thai if you prefer budget friendly option. I booked a riverside room and it is peaceful and tranquil around the bungalow. Friendly owner with warmly welcome smile. Room is quite spacious but amenities are limited like old-fashioned water heater. You can build fireplace beside the river chilling at night. Breakfast is nice enough with the location. The view is quite spectacular from the reception in which dining area is connected.

Great place to stay while doing the Mae Hong Son loop. Room was very spacious with a balcony with amazing views of the river and mountains around. There's plenty of parking for both cars and motorcycles in front of the hotel. Breakfast buffet had lots of options, like toast, eggs various ways and rice soups. Location was pretty good too, lovely along side the river and a delicious restaurant next door for dinner. Definitely recommend.

Nice place. Relaxing. The front desk was a bit standoffish at first but warmed up quick enough to remind us we were still in Thailand. Relaxing patio dining area and each river facing room as a balcony one can sit at. There is a walk way along the river and we wished that there was access to this from the hotel, it would be nice to have. Rooms were comfortable, great Teak floors. This is an older quaint hotel that reminded me of the older days of Thailand, so if you're looking for something more modern this is not it, but we slept great, staff were great, rooms were clean and comfortable.

We stayed here for one night doing the Hong Son Loop on Motorcycles. It’s a great stop over on route and it’s very quirky. To get to your room you have to crossover a small bridge with koi Karp swimming below you. I can’t thank the owner and a teacher that found my bag containing all my money, passport and credit cards that had dropped out of my backpack whilst leaving the hotel and end up on the road. I only found out 2 hrs later, when we went to buy something on route. I had a missed call from the owner called Si that explained that the teacher had handed it in to the police. The police gave me his number and I couldn’t thank him enough for saving my bacon!! I left him a 1000 baht, but he gave it to the police charity. What a man!!!
