About

Tired of staying in hostels that talk a big game and deliver absolutely nothing?
Yeah… us too.
That’s why there’s Base by NOMADS.

Base is not just somewhere to sleep… it’s where average trips go to die and epic ones begin.

We’re a SOCIAL (read: Party) hostel built for travellers who want more than just a bed and a shared bathroom. Think killer food, big energy, unforgettable parties, and the kind of atmosphere that makes it very hard to leave. Not to mention we are the most centrally located hostel in Ao Nang, in the centre of the beachfront.

Basically, if you came to Ao Nang to have a good time… you just found your spot.

So what can you expect at Base?

🎉 A pool that goes off
🎧 DJs that keep the energy high
🍻 Parties you’ll still be talking about after checkout
🌴 Some of the best tours and adventures in town
🔥 A social atmosphere right on the Ao Nang beachfront

And no, we’re not just saying that; the reviews back it up.

🏝️ Our tours are designed for guests who want more than the usual tourist nonsense.
We take you deeper into local culture, off the beaten path, and into the kind of experiences most travellers never get close to.
So no… don’t settle for ordinary.
Not when you could stay somewhere that actually delivers.

🚨VERY IMPORTANT 🚨
1. We host nightly events and have a lively bar, music is turned off at 11:00 PM every day.
2. If you are looking to socialize, meet other travellers and enjoy daily and nightly organized events, you will love our hostel. If you are not looking to meet people and have fun, we are NOT what you are looking for.

Summary of traveller reviews

Base Ao Nang Beachfront by Nomads in Krabi is a vibrant party hostel, perfect for solo travellers and groups seeking a social atmosphere. Guests rave about the incredibly friendly and helpful staff, especially mentioning names like Melissa, Tom, and Josh. The location is unbeatable, right on the beach, with comfortable beds and a lively pool area. While it's a party destination, many find the rooms quiet enough for sleep. Activities and tours are plentiful and highly recommended.
