Best Hostel I stayed in, in Bangkok.Very clean beds, showers and toilets. Beautiful common area and a balcony next to the river. The host also was kind and understanding. I arrived from the airport at 3 am and they welcomed me and gave me a room with a discount although I didn’t have enough cash so they let me pay the rest in the morning. Highly recommended!
