About
Hello and welcome,
We are Som & Som, the founders of The Yard.
When we built this hostel since 2015, we had one purpose: to connect people. We believe real connections can make a difference.
In Thai, Yard means family. So when you stay here, you’re not just a guest—you’re part of our family.
Our team isn’t just staff—they take care of you like family.
Our prices may be a little higher than average, but that’s because we offer something rare in Bangkok:
a huge green common space—a peaceful oasis where you can stretch out, slow down, and truly relax. In fact, our space-per-guest ratio is one of the largest you’ll find in this business.
We also keep things simple and transparent:
• No credit card fees
• No deposit
• Towels & organic amenities included
• Homemade breakfast with local organic tea & coffee included
• Travel assistance for your whole trip in Thailand included
Location
We’re not right next to the main tourist attractions like the Grand Palace or Khao San Road. If those are your main plans, we recommend staying in the Old Town.
But—if you want to see a different side of Bangkok, stay in our neighborhood. It’s peaceful, friendly, creative, and full of local life. Getting to temples takes around 30 minutes, but we think the trade-off is worth it.
And your stay here does more than support your travels:
• Every direct booking helps us donate 7% to an indigenous village in Northern Thailand to prevent forest burning.
• We don’t sell plastic water bottles – instead, we encourage guests to bring their own and refill them.
• Your bedsheets are made from overstock fabrics instead of newly produced materials.
• Breakfast is served as a set to reduce food waste, but you can always refill until you’re full.
• Our coffee beans from Northern Thailand, roasted right here in our neighborhood.
• We make our own yogurt and jam to cut down on single-use plastic.
• Our shampoo and shower gel are natural and made in collaboration with local people.
Here, your stay supports people, communities, and the planet—while giving you the chance to make real human connections.
We hope The Yard becomes part of your story in Thailand—
and maybe part of a growing world family.
