About
🌴 Welcome Future Islanders! 🌴
PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING!
We are a SOCIAL HOSTEL with nightly events designed to get people talking, laughing, and making memories together. Most of these events involve drinks, music, and fun, so if you're not looking to socialize, this may not be the place for you. We want to be super clear, we’re all about good vibes and outgoing energy!
🏡 The Islander Vibe
Our goal is to create a true super social family atmosphere where you feel at home the moment you arrive. We have friendly English and Thai speaking staff, a laid-back bar, and common areas that make it easy to meet fellow travelers, whether you’re swapping stories after a day of adventures or gearing up for a night out.
The Islander Hostel is proudly run by us Alex (that’s me) and my wife Kate along with our awesome team, Aummy, Taya and PK at reception, and Ei and Baby behind the bar. Our Team are local Chiang Mai so between us, we’ve got all the insider knowledge you need. Don’t be shy ask us anything!
