This is my favorite hostel in Thailand. I was planning to stay just two nights, but I extended it for 15 nights so far. Tharita is a very lovely person, like a mom for everybody, and this makes the whole difference. There are good restaurants around and a beautiful beach just 6-7 minutes walking, wh

I highly recommend to stay here!! The first thing I noticed about this hostel was that the owner makes everything clean and organized. In the kitchen, there are basic utensils, electronic pot, microwave, drinking water and fridge. The bed in dorm room is fairly big for one person and comfortable. T

The highlight of this hostel is the owner, DK Mama. This place feels like a home away from home while traveling. It’s a ten minute walk from the beach, a fifteen minute walk from the mall and other shops. There is a small market and 7/11 just down the street as well. The showers and beds are comfort

This hostel was my favourite one after traveling for one month in Thailand. The moment I arrived, I asked for an extension of my stay. I felt welcomed from the get-go. The facilities are good, but what really makes it exceptional is that it really feels like home. The location was also a plus for me
