Common Grounds is hands down one of the best hostels I've stayed at! The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, with friendly staff who make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The common areas are perfect for meeting fellow travelers, and the location is unbeatable—close to everything you need. Clean rooms, great vibes, and a perfect base for exploring. Highly recommend!

9.5/10 ⭐️: the location is very conveniently located in the centre of Pai, just off the walking street where they have the night market. The hostel has a really lovely common area where you can chill and be social with the other guests. Also the rooms were very spacious and clean. The only reason I wouldn’t say 10 ⭐️’s is because they close off the common area at 10pm which means you either have to go out after that time, go to bed or find somewhere else to chill. Also the staff were lovely so I’ll definitely be coming back when I’m next in Pai:)

Fantastic place to stay in Pai! Amazing staff, location is perfect, close the everything yet away from the noise. Common facilities are cozy and inviting as well as organized activities are good.2 minutes from the Bus station as wellSome missing features in the dorms was the only downside, don’t quite get why there’s only a curtain on the sides, as well as all the power outlets in the dorm were so loose it would spark every time in use and constantly fall out.
