Sometimes when faced with so many options it can be hard to decide which would be best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">Generally, I travel in more of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mikesflights.com\/single-post\/2018\/04\/10\/backpackers-vs-glampackers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">glampacker style<\/a> and I am spoilt for choices in Chiang Mai. However, in saying that I have also stayed in the cheapest hostel available during one visit. That was certainly a stay I wouldn&#8217;t recommend unless you&#8217;re a fan of a mattress with broken springs and no air conditioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">Nonetheless, there are still cheaper options available that have a great social atmosphere, comfortable beds, and clean bathrooms. So you don&#8217;t have to worry or look far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">So when choosing the best Chiang Mai hostels, some things I took into account are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\" id=\"price\">Price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">Prices for hostels in Chiang Mai can be super cheap! However, if you&#8217;re looking for something a bit more luxe you will be paying for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">A bed in a hostel dorm room can cost anywhere from $3.00 for the most basic, to $20.00 for a podstyle with all the bells and whistles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">You may think you can sleep anywhere for $3.00 as long as you have a mattress. Trust me, I have been there and found out the hard way that isn&#8217;t always true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">For a private room, you can pay anywhere from $8.00 to hundreds depending on the level of comfort you desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\" id=\"location\">Location<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">Of course, you have to explore the north on your<a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/3-weeks-in-thailand-itinerary\/\"> Thailand itinerary<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">As you can imagine Chiang Mai is actually a rather vast area, though the majority of tourists stay in the Old Town. As a result, the majority of hostels featured in this guide will be in the same area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">This keeps you close to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/chiang-mai-sunday-night-market-thailand\/\">Sunday Night Market,<\/a> the best food, and some great things to do. It is easy to spend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/3-days-in-chiang-mai-itinerary\/\">3 days in Chiang Mai<\/a> with plenty of activities from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">If you are a digital nomad or simply staying in Chiang Mai longer, you will want to be in the Nimman area. Here you will find the majority of long-term travelers and some amazing coworking spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\" id=\"amenities\">Amenities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">There is such a wide variety of hostels here in Chiang Mai, that it&#8217;ll be pretty hard to find one that doesn&#8217;t fit all your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">Booking a stay with free breakfast and water will help save a little bit extra each day. Some options even include free coffee and tea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">Quite a few of the hostels on this list organize events and have an excellent social scene. Perfect if you want to meet other travelers! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">One thing to be aware of is often cheaper hostels&#8217; dorm rooms won&#8217;t have air conditioning. Rather they will have a fan. I have stayed in both, and a fan does a decent job of cooling you down. This is especially so if each bed has its own personal fan, it&#8217;ll be too hot to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">The last thing I think is important to note is quite a few hostels around Chiang Mai turn off the air conditioning during the day. I guess this forces you to go out and explore. Though I will leave it up to you whether you book one of these places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"66O8EST\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:36px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ffa03b7a;font-size:24px\">\ud83d\ude97 <strong>How I Book Cheap Transport In Thailand: <a href=\"https:\/\/12go.asia\/?z=703961\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">12Go Asia<\/a><\/strong> \ud83d\ude97<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fa-qs-about-staying-in-chiang-mai\">FAQs About Staying In Chiang Mai<\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1700181386736\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Which area should I stay in Chiang Mai?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The Old City is one of the best places to stay in Chiang Mai! It\u2019s merely 2.5 kilometers long, but this ancient area dates back well over 500 years. It\u2019s completely walkable, and as a touristic destination, fairly safe. Everything that you could want; restaurants, bars and ample opportunities for shopping are right at your fingertips.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1700181392926\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How many days in Chiang Mai is enough?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>If you\u2019re planning to visit Chiang Mai, the number of days you should spend there depends on your interests and the activities you want to do. If you\u2019re looking to explore the city and its surroundings, 3 days will be perfect. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1700181399891\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Is Chiang Mai Old Town worth visiting?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Chiang Mai Old Town is worth visiting and is one of the best areas for travelers visiting the City. It is known for its charming lanes, ancient temples, cafes, and restaurants. If you are interested in exploring the local culture and history, as well as trying some delicious foodie options this is a great choice.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1700181441735\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Where do expats stay in Chiang Mai?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Nimmanhaemin is a popular area in Chiang Mai among expats who prefer the \u201cbig city\u201d life. It is a hipster district full of chic coffee shops, malls, bars, and retail stalls. The area spans over 1 kilometer of quiet backstreets, apartment buildings, and hidden treasures. Nimmanhaemin Road is often referred to as Chiang Mai\u2019s \u2018coffee street\u2019 and is refreshingly free of chain coffee shops.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1700181447024\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Is Chiang Mai more expensive than Bangkok?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Generally, the further North you travel in Thailand the cheaper it gets, and this is the same when comparing if Chiang Mai is more expensive than Bangkok. Even though the cost of living in Chiang Mai versus Bangkok depends heavily on an individual\u2019s lifestyle, it is safe to say Chiang Mai is cheaper. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wrap-up-the-ultimate-hostels-in-chiang-mai\">Wrap Up: The Ultimate Hostels In Chiang Mai<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are traveling to Thailand heading north to Chiang Mai is a must. It&#8217;s a lot more relaxed than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/backpacking-bangkok\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bangkok<\/a> and is quite different from anywhere else on the typical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/3-weeks-in-thailand-itinerary\/\">Thailand backpacking route<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of where to stay here, you will be spoilt with options with many incredible budget options. No matter if you want to party or relax you will find that here and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, hopefully, you can now breathe a sigh of relief and cross off booking a hostel in Chiang Mai off your list.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LIKE IT?
