A beautiful resort that needs some tlc. The staff are amazing, and the pool and deck is 1st class. The guesthouses are spacious and clean. It’s just that the grounds and buildings are needing some updating. The sidewalks have broken up a bit, the grounds are expansive and are more ‘natural’ than the pics show. And the guesthouses need some maintenance. It is a bit far from town so I’m glad I had a motorbike. This all being said, I really enjoyed my two nights there and would stay again.

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.

Great stay
Service was great! Breakfast was amazing and the staff was very helpful and kind. Loved our stay there! A bit outside of town - too far to walk, but we rented a motorbike for our stay and we were able to enjoy the peace and quiet of the property while still having easy access to town.

Very happy!
Loved this cute resort! Very quite and beautiful surroundings. It was a little bit away from walking street, but the hotel provides free transport to and from the town area. The rooms were clean, and the pool was clean too. Would recommend this place to a friend for sure!

The facilities are well maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful. The resort is located out of town. It’s a good 20 minute walk, a 150 baht taxi ride each way. The resort does offer a shuttle, once a day while I was there. If you have your own transportation it would be better. It is very quiet.

Great price, quiet location
The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming! The grounds were well-kept and had a more laid-back feel than the places I passed “in town.” (It’s about a five minute scooter ride into Pai.) The villas themselves were comfortable but definitely had a rustic feel, particularly the bathroom. Most of the appliances and furniture seemed pretty worn, but value for what I paid was really good.

Secluded paradise
We stayed in Baan Krating as the photos looked good and it was slightly out of Pai town. But the photos don’t do this place justice! It is an amazing place and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful, we felt so welcome from the moment we arrived and were sad to leave at the end of our stay. The cabin rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the pool and gardens are beautiful. They helped us organize transportation in and out of Pai, although it is within walking distance as we managed this walk with our backpacks on the way there. Perfect for those looking for a quiet break or for nature lovers, but do remember you are outside of Pai town and therefore can come into contact with some of the local fauna walking around. We would definitely stay again if we go back to Pai!

Beautiful grounds
The place was great. Lovely grounds and the rooms are all really cool. The pool by the ricer is a nice place to lay around. It's a bit of a walk into town so I would recommended having a scooter. It's walkable in about 25mins

Hotel facilities are great. Staff not so much.
The hotel facilities are very nice. Everything is very stylized and well thought of. The only problem is the staff. Their English is pretty poor and fitting to the city and back is available only via taxi our hotel transportation. Hotel transportation is only available during certain hours (until 9:30). Other than that there was an issue with the check in. Although we ordered the premium room the staff tried to convince us that we ordered the regular room. After about an hour this was resolved. Breakfast is pretty bad. It was another 170bat per night for the breakfast which consisted of an Omlet, some toast and pretty bad orange juice. The problem is there is nothing else nearby.

Nice quiet getaway just outside of the city !
We were there during low season so the resort was fairly vacant. We were unbelievably impressed with this hotel. The staff were very accommodating despite the large language barrier. It is located about a 15 minute walk out of the city but we were able to rent mopeds and the staff had them delivered directly to the resort. The wifi wasn't the best as it doesn't fully reach all of the rooms but the adorable villa type room and clean bathroom and ac made up for it.

Disappointing stay for anniversary
we chose this hotel because it said it had a spa tub, but it didn't. our room was good, but the bathroom window was wood and it did not fully close. it was freezing in the room at night. there was no good lighting in the bathroom and the shower had low pressure and wasn't really hot. the staff was nice but spoke no English so could not help us out. restaurant was not open for dinner so we had to go to town.we were looking forward to a romantic getaway that ended up being a disaster.

Great hotel outside of town!
Hotel was great...beautiful pool, rooms & grounds! The only slight drawback is that it's ~1 mile from town. However the hotel provides a free taxi at various times or they can arrange drop off of motor bikes at the hotel. Or it's a 15-20 minute walk. Overall we loved our stay at Baan Krating!

Quiet, out of town bungalows
We were dropped off in Pai township and hired a scooter, which you will need (or taxi or shuttle) to get to the hotel. We really enjoyed the quiet location and was perfect for our overnight stay in Pai. Wifi was good, breakfast buffet what you would expect. Great place to base yourself if you have transport.

Quiet hotel outside Pai
The hotel itself is ok but a few areas for improvement. The pool was so cloudy we couldn't brave it. The 'restaurant' does not serve food during the day and not sure they even offer dinner. The hotel is actually just outside Pai so I wouldn't stay here unless you're happy using a motorbike. They do offer a free shuttle into Pai of an evening but if you plan to use that you might as well just stay closer to the action. The drive is very easy and takes less than 5mins by bike. As Pai is so rural there are a lot of insects and unfortunately a lot got in our room. The room did have insect doors fitted but they were quite poor, with large gaps at the top and bottom.

Nice staff, out of town, poor brekkie
Nice place if you want peace and quiet. Free bus to town and back in the evening otherwise pay for a taxi. 20 mins to walk but not a very pleasant walk. Breakfast when hotel was quiet was good, off of a menu and made fresh, when more people arrived it was a buffet and really bad. Nice pool but a small number of broken sunbeds. Staff were great and very helpful. Rent a bike from town and ride into the hills, great fun.

Great Place to stay, out of the way
My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights and had a wonderful time. The bungalows are very romantic, and the area around it is silent, with the exception of birds chirping and frogs croaking at night. I would recommend this place highly. The rooms are very clean, and the bathroom is nice. We had ants for all of 5 minutes in the bathroom, and the staff took care of it immediately. This place is about a 5 minute drive outside of the town of Pai, so I would suggest getting a motorbike. The room comes with a free breakfast, which neither my husband or I were thrilled with, but who cares with so much good food in town? Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Picture like resort out of town
I have a mixed feeling about this resortl. First, I don't like it's far away for pai town center. If you don't have a motorcycle, you have no way to get to town center except pay 50 per person so they will drive you there. At 9:30pm, they will then pick up everyone and get back to the resort together. It's not convenient at all. However, I do like the resort itself. The wood lodge, the trees, the river and bridges, it looks really like a picture. For people like us who have lived in crowded cities like Beijing and New York, it's really nice to see environment like this. We do wish to stay there longer.

Baan Krating Pai Resort
My friend and I stayed at Baan Krating for two nights while visiting Pai. Overall, the hotel is very nice: beautiful surrounding, very hight maintained garden and lodges. Very helpful and service oriented staff, although they speak very poor English. Despite, they try very hard to satisfy the hotel guests. Breakfast was included; was good but very limited. The only problem that we could find, that did not bother us that much, was ant problem in the bathroom: because the wooden rooms are surrounded with a luscious garden, ants can come in easily. There's no problem washing them down with water, but some might find it not so comfortable. Again, we did suffer from it too much. Location wise, the hotel is 10-15 mins car ride from the city center. From 6:40-9:30 pm the hotel provides free transportation. After that there is no way to get back, but in the other hand, nothing's open in the town after 9:30 pm. During the day, you can order a taxi for 50 baht per person. Our conclusion, very nice place, a bit secluded, beautiful surroundings, nice staff, very close to the river, nice pool - very good value for money!

for nature lovers
Nice staff. Very clean room. The Gardeners are working the whole day (whiping away the old leaves). Lovely Garden with nice flowers! Nice pool overlooking the river (not many sunbeds). The breakfast room with the buffet was a walk on foot away in another building. Quiet surrounding. Many Car Tourists stay in the hotel. If you want to go to "downtown" Pai you need maybe 20 minutes on foot. It's a bit outside. We've rented a motorbike to be more flexible. Pai is a lovely village in the hills. It's was worth the visit. We would love to come again.

Loved it
Definately a trip highlight. Was so nice to be slightly out of town, but in five minutes was back in town. The pool was a wonderful relaxation in the afternoon. My one complaint about the hotel was the breakfast, but they made up for it in everything else. Normally I dont like the bungalo setup, but this resort pulled it off in a tasteful way - really recommend this.

Room is nice and clean. You do have some ants walking around and some small lizards, but i think it is inevitable for this resort since it's located middle of the nature. The resort is a bit away from everything if you don't have own transport.
