About the Montis Resort
Nestled in the Viengtai area of Pai, the Montis Resort boasts a distinctive, safari-inspired design reflected in its rooms, suites, and villas. The resort offers the perfect balance between tranquil seclusion and proximity to Pai's pedestrian zone, allowing guests to enjoy the town's atmosphere without the noise. Highlights include the generously sized rooms, praised by guests for their spacious showers, excellent water pressure, and comfortable beds, as well as an outdoor pool and an on-site restaurant, completing the experience.
Daily housekeeping with fresh bathrobes, towels, and linens is standard, and the resort offers ample parking—a convenient perk for travelers arriving by scooter or car, which is common in Pai. The Safari Villa is a popular choice, although guests note that it appears somewhat dated in places. Booking during a promotional period is recommended to get good value for money.
The resort's Thai breakfast receives better reviews than Western alternatives, so adventurous foodies will find something to enjoy. The resort is better suited to travelers seeking a comfortable, charming base for exploring Pai's surrounding valleys, hot springs, and viewpoints than those looking for a modern, elegant hotel. Checking the resort's website at montisresort.com to see direct booking rates is a good first step before making a reservation.

First of all: the rooms are huge! The shower was so big you could easily fit 20 people in it (if you wanted to). The rooms were cleaned daily, and fresh bathrobes, towels, and linens were provided upon request. The staff was impeccable; everyone was very courteous and friendly. We communicated via WhatsApp, and the replies were always prompt. The hotel is located a few kilometers outside the city, and there's a free minibus that runs hourly and every half hour in the evenings. This service was excellent, as it's difficult to find parking in the city (though it's manageable with a motorcycle). Breakfast was quite good, with freshly prepared omelets and a buffet of fruit, etc. The coffee was (in my opinion) good, and there were also fresh juices and teas. The grounds are a bit neglected in some areas, presumably a casualty of the COVID-19 pandemic, from which they are slowly recovering. For example, we used the gym daily, which, although small, was sufficient for our needs. The building itself was in poor condition and only needed some investment and a thorough cleaning – nothing major. We got a good deal on Agoda with a 67% discount... We're happy with the price we paid.
This place was simply fantastic. Our room was huge and beautiful, with a massive shower offering super-hot water and great water pressure, large windows flooded with natural light, and an incredibly comfortable bed. The staff was also wonderful, with first-class service at reception and in the restaurant. The rooms were cleaned daily, which was very convenient, and the cleaning staff did an excellent job. Breakfast was also very good and included in the price. We used the gym a few times, which we found very practical. We wished we could stay forever! We wholeheartedly recommend this hotel, and it was absolutely worth the very reasonable price. A truly excellent value for money.
The resort is lovely, but a bit dated. The only real downside is the breakfast if you prefer a Western-style meal. I tried the Thai omelet, and it was excellent. The location is ideal for exploring Pai. The staff are among the friendliest I've ever encountered in a hotel or resort. No matter what we asked, they were always eager to help or answer our questions.

Tips for visiting hotels and resorts
Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.
After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.
Location is more important than the stars
A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
