Together Backpackers Hostel

5.0(78 reviews)

Tucked along Thanalai Road in the heart of Chiang Rai's Wiang district, Together Backpackers Hostel offers budget-conscious travellers a welcoming base from which to explore one of northern Thailand's most culturally rich cities. Its central location puts guests within easy reach of Chiang Rai's iconic landmarks, local markets, and transport connections to destinations like the White Temple and the Golden Triangle. True to its name, the hostel leans into a community-first atmosphere, making it well suited to solo travellers and backpackers looking to connect with like-minded visitors. The social environment is a key draw, offering the kind of informal, relaxed setting that characterises the best of the backpacker hostel experience in Southeast Asia. Good to know: Together Backpackers maintains an active presence on Instagram, which serves as the hostel's primary online channel for updates, availability, and a sense of its current vibe — worth checking before arrival. As opening hours and booking details are not listed centrally, prospective guests are advised to reach out directly through the hostel's social media ahead of their stay. Chiang Rai is best visited between November and February, when the weather is cooler and more comfortable for exploring the region.

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts

Book Shoulder Season

May–June and September–October offer dramatic discounts (30–50% off peak rates) with fewer crowds. Weather is mixed but rarely a washout — afternoon showers clear quickly.

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.

Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive

Private pool villas in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai start around 2,500–4,000 THB/night — a fraction of Bali or Maldives prices. Search specifically for 'pool villa' to surface hidden gems.
