This northern Thai city is adored by the backpacking community and every time we return, we fall in love with it a little more. But what is it that makes Chiang Mai one of the most popular backpacking destinations in the world?<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who\u2019s been before will know this city has a special vibe. It\u2019s creative, spiritual and relaxed, so if you\u2019re still reeling from the intensity of Bangkok, this is the place to take it easy. A typical Chiang Mai morning involves hanging out in a quirky coffee shop and watching the world go by, and this caf\u00e9 culture is one of the things that&#8217;s cemented the city as a digital nomad hotspot. The nightlife is equally laid-back \u2013 forget swanky nightclubs with strict dress codes, in Chiang Mai it\u2019s all about live reggae jams in casual bars.<\/p>\n<p>But chilled doesn\u2019t equal boring and there are heaps of things to do in Chiang Mai. Take a stroll inside the Old City walls to learn its history and discover incredible architecture \u2013 including some of Thailand\u2019s most jaw-dropping temples that are a must visit. Sharpen your haggling skills at one of the city\u2019s markets; like the Sunday Walking Street Market where you can pick up unique garments and handmade jewellery. Chiang Mai is also the best spot in Thailand to make friends with some elephants \u2013 just make 100% certain that you do your research and only visit sanctuaries that you know are ethical.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and one more thing. It\u2019s no secret that food in Thailand is amazing, but Chiang Mai is on another level. You\u2019ll find some of the best street food at the city\u2019s markets, and one thing you cannot leave without trying is the famous khao soi noodle soup, a Chiang Mai speciality. If you can\u2019t bear the thought of leaving it behind, sign up for a cooking class and take your skills back home!<\/p>\n<p>Now that you\u2019re suitably pumped for your adventure, here are the 20 best hostels in Chiang Mai.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Jump straight to:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"#best-hostels-in-chiang-mai-for-solo-travellers\" class=\"post links\">Best hostels in Chiang Mai for solo travellers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#best-hostels-in-chiang-mai-for-couples\" class=\"post links\">Best hostels in Chiang Mai for couples<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#best-party-hostels-in-chiang-mai\" class=\"post links\">Best party hostels in Chiang Mai<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#best-hostels-in-chiang-mai-with-private-rooms\" class=\"post links\">Best hostels in Chiang Mai with private rooms<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#best-hostels-in-chiang-mai-old-city\" class=\"post links\">Best hostels in Chiang Mai Old City<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#more-best-hostels-in-chiang-mai\" class=\"post links\">Best of the rest hostels in Chiang Mai<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"best-hostels-in-chiang-mai-for-solo-travellers\">Best hostels in Chiang Mai for solo travellers<\/h2>\n<p>Worried about visiting Chiang Mai solo?
