The Yard Hostel Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai Old Town, Chiang Mai

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. After loving my stay at The Yard Bangkok, I knew I had to check out their Chiang Mai spot. And what can I say? This is the best hostel in Asia. Period. It’s the kind of place where you do everything at your own pace. The perfect balance of social—you never have to join in, but you’re always welcome. There’s always something for you. You’ll meet the most fascinating people and have the most fulfilling conversations. My favorite part of the hostel? Their iconic breakfast obvs, but also the playlists curated by M at reception. I could (and did) sit all day just vibing to it. Huge salute to Som & The Yard family for creating such a beautiful community. See you next time! Fingers crossed for a weekly dinner in the future—would be the perfect cherry on top!
