About BUSKET HOSTEL
Busket Hostel sits in the heart of Chiang Rai's Wiang district, placing guests within walking distance of the city's main bus station, night market, and several temples. Its central position makes it a practical base for exploring northern Thailand without relying on taxis or rented transport, though scooter rentals are available on-site for those wanting to venture further afield.
Guests consistently highlight the hostel's cleanliness as a standout feature, with dedicated cleaning staff maintaining bathrooms and common areas throughout the day. Dormitory rooms — including female-only options — are noted for being more spacious than expected, with stable bunk beds and keycard security on both the front door and individual rooms. A free snack bar and affordable on-site washing machine add practical value, and the property operates around the clock, accommodating late arrivals without issue.

First shout out is how clean this place is. The cleaning lady is at it from 8 to 5, doing the shower and bathroom 2-3 times a day ensuring garbages are empty and everything clean. Amazing location, and above that amazing staff. So helpful and really helped me plan to visit the highlights without pushing a tour down my throat. It saved me so much money and time 🥹 The only downside is the bed in the bunks are really hard. However the beds in the double room are great, it was worth paying a little extra for me to have a comfier bed. Elliptical and roof top are definitely a plus. Thank you to the two ladies working in March 2025, you made my trip!❤️
Great rooms, good location, you can also come late. You can rent scooters here. Free snack bar. Very safe with a key card lock at front door and room (if you care about that)
Busket hostel was a great and central place to stay in Chiang Rai, right next to the night market. The bunkbeds in the 4er girl dorms were v stable, only issue being that the individual lights are so strong that they blind the bunkbed across from you so it made it hard to sleep if the bunk mates were still up with their lights on. The Rooftop is slightly rudimentary but lovely place to hangout at night and meet new people. They even let me shower after I had checked out upon request! Would recommend!

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts
Compare OTAs and Direct Rates
Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.
Location Matters More Than Stars
A well-located 3-star hotel often beats a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, staying near a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the beach you actually want matters most.
