Vimann means "heaven," and this fine resort, opened in 2006, certainly commands a heavenly spot on the banks of the Pai River. Deluxe rooms in the main house, a stately building constructed almost entirely of teak, are enormous and opulently furnished in Lanna style. Two-story villas are arranged along a path that leads down to the river. The hotel has its own motorcycle taxi service to ferry guests around Pai. Pros: friendly family welcome; four-poster beds in "deluxe" rooms. Cons: villa rooms are small.
