About

Welcome to Angmo Hostel by Amaka! We're Urana and Ladislav ; a Thai-Czech couple living in Chiang Mai. In 2015, Urana has opened her very first business : a small bed & breakfast called Amaka which was named after her late grandma Ama Wattaka or Ama Ka. 10 years after that we are opening a hostel which is named after Ladi.

Angmo in many Chinese dialects including Teochew literally means red-haired people. It’s also a term they use to refer westerners. Our Angmo in particular is referring to Ladi who doesn’t have that much hair anymore but you could still see the bright red beard which has been well taken care of :)

I never leave review but this one deserves 6 stars. Top 3 favorite hostels I've stayed at. clean, beds are comfy, breakfast is so good, AND The front desk staff are 12/10. so friendly, fun, helpful, kind. they made this place social and fun! If I HAD to criticize something, I wish it had more couches for a chill reading space. but the cafe vibe they have makes it so social. incredible stay. I wish I could have an Angmo in every city I visit

the BEST hostel i’ve stayed in so far. the whole place was so clean and nicely decorated. beds were super comfy and private. toilets and showers were always clean and they even provided dyson hairdryers!! the location was perfect and the breakfast every morning was so good. but the absolute best thing was the staff at angmo. they were so kind and helpful, always available and so fun to be around. a special shoutout to First the receptionist who was so lovely to us and always made us laugh! :)
