Located in Pai, 200 metres from Pai Night Market, Moon Garden Hostel provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. Located around 2.5 km from Wat Phra That Mae Yen, the hostel with free WiFi is also 8 km away from Pai Canyon. The property is non-smoking and is set 200 metres from Pai Bus station. Great location—just a 5-minute walk to the night street, but tucked away in a quiet spot perfect for relaxing. 10 minutes walking to minivan station. The atmosphere is super chill, especially in the lounge area where it's easy to unwind or meet other travelers. The bathroom was impressively clean throughout my stay. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a good balance of nightlife access and laid-back vibes.

Set in Chiang Mai, 300 metres from Three Kings Monument, The Yard Hostel Chiang Mai offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a bar. Popular points of interest nearby include Wat Phra Singh, Chiang Mai Gate and Chiang Mai Night Bazaar. The property is 400 metres from the city centre and 600 metres from Chedi Luang Temple. Lovely, tucked away location in the old city. Staff were friendly and helpful. They have cats who hang out around the hostel though they're shy! Their dorms are rather popular with backpackers (we can hear them chatting and laughing away into the night at the common area downstairs), but we very much preferred the privacy and space of our rooms. Overall, the hostel has plenty options for different kinds of travelers! :-)
