Everything ... Where to start , a home away from home. This place felt like a safe haven in a world of chaos. From the staff to the guests to the Wonderful owners who brought Wonderland Into reality. If you are reading this I fear you will regret not booking a stay here. I came for 5 days on the first I already knew I wanted to extend. I made amazing friends who really elevated my experience here. I wish I could have stayed longer , it felt like a dream. Even the staff were once wonderland guests who loved it so much they didn't want to leave. That what happens you get sucked down the rabbit hole and don't really want to climb back up ! Only thing I can recommend is RENT A SCOOTER, it will just make the experience there a little more enjoyable as it is not a far distance from the beach but those hills in the heat will make you regret not paying 200baht/day for a scooter 😅 Thank you wonderland for giving me only but happiness. I wish to return very soon in the future ... Till we meet again.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Beds were comfy, the common area/restaurant is a great opportunity to meet people. The staff is international and very social and accommodating. The owner hosts weekly events like movie nights or bbq, even though it’s a social hostel it wasn’t loud at night. When i first arrived i was handed a towel and allowed to shower, even though I arrived way before my check-in. Daily cleaning of the dorms. Perfect hostel for backpackers or anyone who wants to meet new people!

    The owners as so lovely and so helpful. Beds were comfortable and clean and private. Facilities were great. Free tea and coffee and a fridge. Lovely little balcony area and in a great location, close to everything. Everything about this hostel is perfect. Safe and secure too with key fobs to enter the room.

    Best Hostel, a bit far from the Main City but you need a scooter anyway so it’s totally fine. Close to really nice beaches, Tanote Beach was my fav. The staff is fantastic and you can have fun nights playing Deisha-Thai-Pool, getting professional bamboo tattoos and have good&cheap cocktails or some weed (or both :D)!! The View is epic, you can see the whole Island and shouldn’t miss it. It’s often booked out (book early!) so there are always many people. Will definitely come back some day!
