The grounds and restaurant are really pleasant. Great place to relax for a few days. The room was large and had a balcony with a nice river view. The staff was super friendly and helpful. It is pretty far outside the city, but I'm glad we stayed there for CAD Yi Peng because traffic near the city gets really busy, but where this is located we didn't have to wait in traffic long.

It is 40 minutes out of the city and not near much, so you won't be able to walk to anything. The Grab app prices the trip incorrectly, so drivers will ask for an extra payment. The lodge can arrange transportation for you to and from the property, though it can be a bit expensive (for Thailand). This actually ended up being in our favor because traffic was so bad near the city for Yi Peng. It's also a very pleasant property, so we were happy to just hang out there. But it's something to be aware of. Also, Wi-Fi was spotty. I saw this in the reviews and asked for a room with good Wi-Fi since I'm a digital nomad, and they put us near the restaurant where they said the Wi-Fi was the best. I still had to fall back to my phone's data via hotspot from time to time, though.

Choose Papai as we had just completed the Hong Som loop over 10 days on a bike, and I wanted somewhere peaceful. I wasn't disappointed: The staff are so attentive and helpful. The food is amazing. The room is spacious, clean, and comfortable. The gardens are beautiful. The pool was an added bonus. The area is quiet, and a scooter is recommended to get around. Lots to explore in the local area, with Chiang mia about 12 miles away. The family dogs are friendly and stay clear of you. Would definitely recommend it here for a stay. Loved it.

The word “resort” is thrown around a lot in Thailand, but this place is an actual resort. It has a restaurant/ cafe, a pool, the grounds are beautifully kept, it had a play set for kids, and the rooms are beautiful. We came in late and the owner upgraded us to a villa, (thank you!) and it was a truly restful experience. We were on a family trip with a lot of to do’s and this ended our visit on a relaxing note. The staff was incredibly kind as well.

Everything was great, but with a resort comes resort pricing, so the things like laundry service are doing to be more expensive. The cafe was competitively priced however, which I appreciated. It is a little bit far from the city but that’s actually nice, Chiang Mai is getting too busy.

This place is run by a family and brings that energy of care and welcoming. The breakfast is amazing, served by the river and with many things to try. The staff is available if you need anything else. The facilities are great, you have swimming pool, bonfire, park for kids, plenty of nature and well-cared gardens with lots of space around,..and the area is very quiet. It is the perfect escape!

All the other guests had a car or a scooter. It is in a nature area so don't expect much to do around the resort.

First of all - James and the family. They did everything possible to make us feel at home. And we did. The place is very relaxing. A lot if freedom for the kids to play around. Nice inviting pool. Great restaurant with a quiet river beside it. James even helped us with a firecamp one evening. And he also recommended on a great amazing village to visit during the weekend. We would absolutely stayed longer if we could. Thank you James, and the family.

Everything was great. Quite location. People will fantastic to deal with. Will definitely vist again .

Not a negative. But just a heads up , it is a little far from town. But if you hire a scooter , it's awesome ride

Lovely place in the countryside, the gardens are gorgeous, the staff super friendly, the restaurant very tasty. So in few words everything perfect, swimming pool included

Beautiful accomodation, very attentive and friendly staff, amazing restaurant. Great value for money, Clean pool.

This is my second stay at Papai. It’s such a wonderful, quiet, beautiful getaway from noisy, busy city-life in Chiang Mai. The staff are amazing!!! So friendly and eager to serve. They remembered me from my previous stay almost three years ago!

Beds are typical SE Asia firm, a bit too firm for my taste.

The set-up and the landscape, the terrace of the restaurant overlooking water is very pleasant. As we were playing golf at C.Mai Highland, the proximity was also very convenient. Rooms are large and comfortable

Not much, all went ok Apart the WIFI in rooms not working.
