Situated in Pai, less than 1 km from Pai Bus station, Society House Luxury Hostel features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a bar. The property is around 8.9 km from The World War 2 bridge, 8.9 km from Pai Canyon and 4.7 km from Wat Nam Hoo. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, free shuttle service and organising tours for guests.

I think it's the best hostel I've been to in Thailand, super comfortable, everything in very good condition. You can tell that it is a fairly new hostel and they maintain it very well. The room was huge, with very comfortable beds. The bathrooms and showers were in excellent condition. They serve breakfast right there for a reasonable extra price. The staff was friendly and are always willing to quickly resolve any problem that arises. The rooms do not have air conditioning but at the time I was there (November) it was not necessary since it got quite cold during the night.

I love the location of the hostel, it was completely surrounded by nature and river. There is a lot of common spaces where it was possible to chill out and relax: on hammocks by the river, by the fireplace, on sofa in front of bar, there is a place for yoga and mats are available as well as water for refill. I have really enjoyed my time here 😊

    One of the best hostels I’ve ever been at! This hostel is a spiritual experience 🫶🏻 people are extremely nice, a lot of people from other hostels also come here to hang out. Plenty of activities to keep you busy. It’s far away from the Center yes but that’s part of the magic.

    Lovely little bungalow in great location, just a few minutes walk to town over the bamboo bridge. Host was very friendly and helpful and arranged a safe/slow taxi driver to take us back to Chiang Mai which was a far better experience than on the way up when we had a crazy driver!!

    Great location just off the main walking street/night market. Close to many restaurants & cafes, 7 eleven etc. The villa was small but well laid out and there was enough storage space and all amenities (fridge, TV, kettle, safe, complimentary toiletries and hot drinks). The room was very clean. The balcony was a nice place to sit overlooking the garden and fish pond.

    Lovely host, perfect location close to the bus stop, main walking street and seven eleven. Great vibe for young people or like me older veteran-backpackers that like the idea of hostel living. But that prefer a private room for the night. Cute bungalow! Aircondition worked well.

    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!
