At a glance

Camp View Mountain: from ฿150/night, a tent with a Japanese mattress on open rice-field land, shared bamboo bathrooms and an outdoor shower, thatched sala with hammock, no Wi-Fi in the tent, an 8.8 score with early reviews.
How far back-to-nature do you want to go
Paddy Fields Haven still gives you four walls, a bed and a door — it's rustic by design (no air-con, no TV) but it's a room. It's the better fit if you want the rice-field experience without fully camping.
Camp View Mountain removes even that: you're sleeping in a tent, with a shared bathroom block and an honest, no-pretending setup — a thatched sala, a hammock, a fishing spot, and huge open skies. It's the choice for travellers who want the rawest, cheapest version of a night in the Pai countryside.
Who each one suits
Choose Paddy Fields Haven if you want a private or semi-private room, don't mind skipping air-con, and want the classic rice-field stay at a backpacker price.
Choose Camp View Mountain if you're an adventurous traveller or stargazer who's genuinely comfortable in a tent and wants the cheapest, most memorable night in Pai's countryside.
