    “This place was incredible! So much detail and so unique. We loved walking around the gardens and watching all the butterflies. ????
    Such a peaceful spot to relax and allow all your troubles to melt away.

    We particularly enjoyed spending time in the yoga studio. Dave also showed us the temple space, which was mesmerising, full of crystal and deities and 100s of books!  A truly peaceful, unique place, we will treasure our memories here and hope to visit again one day ????”

    “We had the most beautiful time at Dave and Nok’s magical oasis. If you have some time in Pai and are comfortable on a scooter, it is the best place I’ve ever stayed 🙂
    The property is an immersive experience of art, nature, and spirituality, and only 10 10-minute ride to the main town. We loved coming back to our retreat after busy days in the main town.
    The hosts are so lovely and welcoming, there are cute bunnies, geckos and butterflies, and the private spring pools are such a special experience.
    Thank you very much ???? Latif and I loved our stay, we even extended as much as we could.”

    I have had a sleep disorder that has lasted for many years, but I have had the safest week to sleep here in a long time! Nok and Dave are the perfect hosts, enthusiastic and humorous.”

    “This place is a true find on Airbnb. I found it at the last minute, and I decided to change my accommodation in Pai: It was the right choice. I had tranquility, serenity, and privacy, all under the wings of a master artist who designed his home to be a healing oasis and sanctuary for the soul. I am grateful to have met both hosts. It was one of those moments in life that brings true joy to encounter pure magic that someone has taken the time to create.”
