TIMN Hostel provides rooms in Pai near Pai Night Market and Pai Walking Street. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is located 1.1 km from Pai Bus station.

Brand new hostel with big, comfortable beds and air conditioned rooms. One of the only hostels I have seen that has female only rooms in Pai! Nice location slightly out of the centre, but still in walking distance, with some lovely shops and cafés nearby, super quiet on the night. The owners were really friendly and there’s a nice cafe/coworking space downstairs. For the price, this is an amazing hostel, thank you!

K-Bunk Hostel Pai Walking Street features free bikes, outdoor swimming pool, a garden and shared lounge in Pai. 500 metres from Pai Bus station and 600 metres from Pai Night Market, the property features a terrace and a bar. The accommodation offers nightclub and a shared kitchen.

I absolutely loved the hostel! It is very social and the people that work there are the absolute best. The fact that they let people that are not staying in the hostel hang by the pool makes socializing a thousand times better and more fun. I met a lot of people at K-Bunk and the beds and rooms were very comfortable and clean.

Supermoon was an amazing hostel to stay at. All the staff were so friendly and really accommodating. I had injured my knee and had to go to the hospital for stitches and they were great about me extending my stay, allowed me to eat in the downstairs area, instead of upstairs through the day and also allowed me to have a late check out so that I didn't have to wait with all my bags for hours when I couldn't walk very far. Overall an amazing hostel. ❤️ Facilities are also great with free coffee and small breakfast at any time of day, and a water dispenser to fill up water bottles.

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.

    Amazing hostel if you’re looking for hippie activities and socializing with interesting people. Laid back, chill vibe, yoga every morning and ice baths every afternoon, as well as 2-3 other activities every day, such as ecstatic dancing, pub quizes, trekking trips, arts & crafts and many more. Vibe-wise definitely the best hostel I’ve been to in SE Asia. Staff was also amazing.

    We stayed in a private double room and I think this has to be one of the best hostels in Pai. Live music every night from around 7pm-midnight and the tables fill up QUICK, so ideal just being up the stairs and can walk down for a table before it gets too busy! Reasonable prices at the bar. Location is perfect - 5 minutes walk from the minivan drop/pickup area and just at the bottom of the road from all the night street food vendors. Good quality air conditioning in the room and towels provided.

    The greatest advantage of this hotel is by far the ambiance, with barbecues, pool parties, bar crawls, quiz nights and many other fun activities organized by the wonderful team. This is arguably the perfect hostel for the solo traveler or a group of friends looking to meet new people. Other than that, rooms are pretty clean and comfortable, and most importantly air conditioned. Each has a private bathroom, aside from a public one. There are lockers in the room itself, which is very comfortable.

    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.
