Bangkok is a city full of adventure, and a hotspot for travellers from around the world. From crazy food, beautiful temples, stunning city vibes and so many different things to do, Bangkok is a place to visit for sure!
While in Bangkok, there is an abundance of places to stay. Our stay was split between Back Home Backpackers (perfect calm hostel) and Revolution Khaosan By the Bliss (perfect social hostel), which we will share about in a future post. However, let us share about our stay in Back Home Backpackers!

Location
Based near the tourism centre of Khaosan Road in Bangkok, this Hostel is within close walking distance to the popular road, however is far enough away it doesn’t feel *too* touristic considering the proximity. It is right across from a 7/11 , so you can imagine the amount of toasties we have eaten (we know it’s a lot!!!). It was tucked up a side road, but we found it easily accessible by grab (which we used a lot in Thailand).
Khaosan road is a hotspot for many travellers and tourists alike. It has a bustling nightlife that will easily take you into early hours (or even later…). However, for those who dislike the loudness and nightlife, finding a hostel within a close distance that is calm can be a struggle.
It’s also known to have some of the best local foods spots in the area so be sure to check them out, you won’t regret it.
Hostel Room Experience
Whilst we stayed at Back Home Backpackers, we stayed in their 10 bed dorm.
Each dorm had plug access and a light, multiple fans across the room, a pretty street view, privacy curtains on each bed, ladders for top bunks, and two bathrooms with showers in both.
Bathrooms came with shampoo and shower gel to use, with towels available. Breakfast can be arranged at an additional cost.
We really enjoyed our stay! The beds were comfy, and after our long flight to Bangkok it was highly appreciated!!! There were different wifi hubs available throughout the hostel meaning it was easy enough to be connected around the hostel. The facilities were somewhat simple, but all that was needed for our stay!
This 10 bed dorm starts from around £8.50 per night (always varies per season), and can be booked here.
Other Rooms Available
For dorm rooms, Back Home Backpackers offer rooms of 8 to 10 beds for mixed dorms, however they do offer a dorm room of 4 for just female visitors if this is something you prefer.
Private Room
There are options of single, twin, double and triple bed rooms within this hostel. They range from around £25 upwards a night, but there are some great options to check out! We didn’t personally stay in a private room, but from reviews and photos these seem a great option.
Social Areas
We loved the social areas! Great for digital nomads and freelancers, there were plenty of seating arrangements and areas, with internet and electric access for easy working!
There was food and drink facilities available which were highly recommended by the people around us!
During high season it seems like they offered a range of activities, however since we visited in low season it seems like they didn’t offer many night time activities. This isn’t really an issue, since Bangkok is full of many fun things to do day or night.
Would we recommend
We would recommend staying at Back Home Backpackers! They have a really friendly atmosphere, perfect for digital nomads looking for a chill vibe. This isn’t a busy hostel, so those looking for a vibrant nightlife, we wouldn’t recommend here- unless you want close proximity to Khaosan road with a chill ‘base’.
With great wifi available, and lots of space to work from your laptop, this is a nomad haven to relax in the busy city. You can find and book Back Home Backpackers here.
