Fodor's Expert Review Paivimaan Resort

Vimaan means "heaven," and this fine resort commands a celestial 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.
