"I found Siamaze to be a quiet but social option — located in a peaceful neighborhood, it still runs weekly events like Thai cooking classes and Friday night BBQs, and every room features artwork by local artists within a contemporary Thai design. They provide thoughtful amenities such as privacy curtains on all bunks, large personal lockers with charging sockets, shared kitchen facilities, en-suite rooms with private balconies, and family rooms that sleep up to four, making it a good choice if you want to be social without staying in the heart of Khao San Road." - Matthew Kepnes
