The 8 Best Hostels in Bangkok (Updated 2025)

"I would pick Mad Monkey if I wanted to party — it's a backpacker institution near Khao San Road with a strong social scene, a restaurant, a pool, and a tour desk offering some of the cheapest tours in town. Rooms have comfy beds with individual outlets and lamps, all rooms are air-conditioned, and you even get a free welcome drink; despite being slightly pricier than some nearby options, the lively atmosphere and ease of meeting other travelers make it worth it." - Matthew Kepnes
