Best hostel in Pai with the chillest people I’ve met during my travels. Super clean and the bed was comfortable. More for flashpackers who like their peace/comfort than a party hostel, which I prefer. They also have the cutest puppy!

The staff and atmosphere are amazing. The room was big with nice windows and terrace. Area is in beautiful nature and there is some cafés and restaurants close by. Also the walking street is withing walking distance. We walked everywhere but for some people it might be easier to have a scooter.

Great place to stay away from the centre noise but close enough to walk there. There is food and drink up til 8pm, and plenty space to relax and chill for the day. Breakfast is a good plus!

Best place to stay in Pai! The pool was so wonderful to swim in during the hot weather. The patio area is very relaxing with beautiful views of the mountains. Comfy seating areas and very comfortable beds. Clean rooms and toilet areas. The best thing was the air conditioning!! I actually moved from another hostel to this hostel because it had air conditioning - a must in the heat. The staff are very friendly and the location is good with just a short 10 minute walk into the centre. I didn't get any of the food but they offer smoothies, curries, rice dishes etc. as well as drinks. Lovely relaxed and chill atmosphere whilst also being sociable if you want to chat. I met some lovely people here but also enjoyed just sitting and reading by the pool to have some time alone. Can't recommend enough!!

I absolutely loved the vibes of this hostel. The capsule-style beds offer total privacy, which is such a bonus when staying in a dorm. There’s also plenty of space to relax and unwind. Everything was spotless, and the staff were genuinely amazing—friendly, helpful, and always around when you need something. A special shout-out to Jax, who was especially kind and made me feel really welcome. I’d definitely stay here again!

Had an amazing stay at Sharky's Hostel (named to the son of the owners, a funny and smart kid). We had a lot of problems with electricity and water, but they took really good care of us by providing fresh bottles of water and a lantarn. Very clean, very comfortable, free breakfast and coffee. The location is amazing, you're 2 minutes walking distance from Walking street and other facility's, but the street itself is really quiet.

All hostels in Pai

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    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

    The best hostel we have stayed at in Thailand by far! Rooms are very clean and new, shower is amazing! Very sociable hostel! 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.
