After staying 2 nights at a REALLY cheap and not recommended place I found Gongkaew and I'm so glad I did! The staff was extremely helpful in booking everything from Thai cooking school to arranging transport to Pai and the airport. Rooms: I stayed in the female dorm and it was clean, spacious and the air-con was POWERFUL! It was... More

Beautiful garden with plenty of places to sit and enjoy the view. Rooms are large and very comfortable. Staff are very friendly. Best place we stayed in Thailand!

We were picked up free from the airport in the middle of the night and taken to the hostel where a clean secure room awaited. In the morning we awoke to the crows of cockerels in the lush gardens. The charm of this hostel was a large covered outdoor area, with all manner of comfy hammocks and couches, to chill... More

We only stayed one night here but were suitably impressed. We would have liked to have stayed longer but they were completely booked out and I understand why. This place was clean and well kept. Our room had an ensuite bathroom and air-con both worked well. The common area is great with lots of places to sit and mingle with... More

We really enjoyed our stay here. We met up with a friend in the airport and had a ride from the hotel. Our friend's flight was delayed 2 hours and the woman (who turned out to be one of the owners) picking us up was as nice and cheerful as can be even with the long wait. Everyone who works... More

Common area is in the open so you'll be surrounded by many salamanders, geckos and mosquitoes (bring repellent). The rooms were big and clean, showers and... More

The guesthouse is located on the other side of the old city, but it is still an easy 15-20min walk to find somewhere to eat, or book tours. It would normally be a quiet area, but as it was Loi Krathong, fireworks and firecrackers were being let off all night. I don't think it would have mattered where I stayed... More

Everyone at this hostel was incredibly sweet and helpful with all our queries and offered us free transport to/from the airport and affordable prices to drive us to the major attractions like tiger kingdom, doi suthep etc. The outdoor area is a great place to sit and relax in one of the many rustic chairs/hammocks, meet other travellers (who are...

Everybody at the hostel was extremely kind and helpful. The setting was beautiful and convenient. And the rooms were spacious and clean. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling in chiangmai. The price can't be beat!!
