Spent 4 nights at MPR in the middle of a 2 week tour of Thailand and there were tears in our eyes on departure but I'd not regard it as the perfect place that some say. I think biggest problem is that the place has become a victim of its own success ! - thers probably about 50 bungalows altogether... more

Our second visit to these bungalows and they didn"t dissapoint. Delightful beach location with an out of the way vibe helped by the transport to and from by way of local ferry and exciting songthaew ride over the so called road. We had a bungalow on the rocks which is basic but with an excellent bathroom built into the rocks... more

If you are looking for a laid back and easy going atmosphere this is the place to be. Mai pen rai bungalows are accessible by a 40 min drive from Thongsala or by the sea with a longtail boat, you really need a 4 wheels drive jeep because the road in the middle of the jungle is very bumpy.

Getting there was an adventure, taxi bus on very bumpy roads (which made it seem all the more remote and attractive) and when we got there it was nothing like we had expected... it was much much better. Great huts on... more

Hi everyone! If you are loking for a place like you imagine Robison Crusoe was, this is it! It's on a private beach situated for itself surounded by a manifiquant jungle. You can choose from bungalows on the beach, river or on rock, all of them are very special and with a lovely interieur. After a day on the beach,... more

Mai Pen Rai is all that you see on the website and more. A place where strangers become friends over breakfast, lunch, dinner or even a quick drink in the idylic restaurant alongside the river. For me it was time for a much needed break from work and that is exactly what I got. The staff at Mai Pen Rai... more
