Best Hostels in Bangkok

Bangkok's hostel scene has matured well past the old Khaosan Road dorms — design-led 'poshtels' now sit alongside party hostels and quiet solo-traveller spots.

  6. 6

    Yim Huai Khwang

    Huai Khwang

    Modern, design-forward hostel in a non-touristy local neighbourhood — near MRT, good street food right outside, half the price of Sukhumvit.

    350 THB dormBook via Hostelworld

Tips

  • Yim Huai Khwang at 350 baht is the cheapest dorm bed of the six, trading a Sukhumvit address for a quieter local neighbourhood near the MRT.
  • Lub d Bangkok Siam is flagged as the busiest hostel of the group — book further ahead there than at its sister branch in Silom.
  • Once Again Hostel and Lub d Silom both offer private rooms alongside dorms, at 1,500 and 1,400 baht, worth comparing if you want your own room.
  • Mad Monkey fills up specifically on weekends, so a weekday booking is the easier one to land without planning far ahead.
  • NapPark's capsule dorms sit right by Khaosan Road but run quieter than the party hostels around them, at the same 450-baht price as Lub d Silom's dorm bed.
