Only 500 yuan per night minimum！High cost-performance youth hostels in Thailand

Text and photos byGuo Renrong

The long-awaited Thai travel article is here again～Your fun travel host is taking you to stay at an ultra-high cost-performance Chao Hostel (Trendy Youth Hostel). In addition to shared "DORM" style dormitory rooms, this youth hostel also offers private double-bed rooms (super spacious), with dormitory rooms starting from just 500 Thai baht per person, while private rooms are around 1500 Thai baht. It’s really super cheap～The location is just a three-minute walk from the BTS National Stadium station, situated on the eighth floor of Bangkok Siam @ Siam Design Hotel & SPA (Siam @ Siam Design Hotel & Spa Bangkok), and there’s also a super spacious sofa lounge area for you to use.

Doesn’t it really not look like a youth hostel at all, even better than many business hotels？(But the price is seriously dirt cheap！！！)

Take the elevator to the eighth floor, and you’ll see this glowing map wall as soon as you exit the elevator！It left a deep impression on your fun travel host.

The check-in lobby is extremely minimalist！It feels like you’ve arrived at a Thai floating village.

Chao Hostel has lots of bean bag chairs on the floor, making me really want to jump on one and laze around. There are also free computer facilities for backpackers to use. If you often read your fun travel host’s blog, you might notice that I’ve actually written about Bangkok Siam @ Siam Design Hotel & SPA (Siam @ Siam Design Hotel & Spa Bangkok) before. Chao Hostel only costs half the price to stay at, it’s just that you miss out on the swimming pool and a rich breakfast, and you have to bring your own toiletries (toothbrush, shampoo, etc.), but honestly, it’s really not a big difference！Also, the Chao Hostel front desk is only open from 7 AM to midnight. So if you’re arriving in Thailand on a red-eye flight, please inform the hostel in advance！！！

Of course, a good backpacker inn offers free WIFI

Every morning, this place becomes the common lounge for everyone’s breakfast. Although it’s not luxurious like a five-star hotel, Chao Hostel provides simple bread, cookies, and drinks for everyone to help themselves to.

When it comes to staying at a youth hostel, the concept is of course that you wash your own drinking and eating utensils, and the big fridge is shared by everyone！！！

Next, I’m going to introduce Room 2, where I stayed that day

Chao Hostel rooms are very clean！！！They follow a minimalist style, and although the bathroom is basic, it’s very cozy, giving off the feeling of staying at a Thai person’s home.

It also comes with a washing machine and dryer, and finally, here’s a photo of the insanely large living room space here～it feels like you could play tag and run around in here!!!

Because the DORM room type I stayed in wasn’t renovated yet on the day of check-in, I couldn’t take any photos. Those interested can check out their official website or Agoda.
