Lanna Guest House

Opposite the famed Wat Phra Singh on Rachadamnoen Road, right in Chiang Mai’s walled Old City. Steps from Wat Chedi Luang and minutes from the Chiang Mai City Arts & Cultural Center, with the Sunday Walking Street market running just outside. About 20 minutes from the airport, train and bus stations — a true backpacker-friendly hostel base.

A lively, budget-minded hostel with 31 guestrooms and a large backpacker community. Rooms come with desks and rainfall showerheads, and rollaway/extra beds are available for a surcharge. Simple, local vibes with easy walks to temples, markets and cultural sites inside the city walls.

Complimentary wireless internet, tour and ticket assistance, dry cleaning/laundry services and luggage storage. Practical neighborhood perks are right outside — a bank, exchange counter and laundry opposite, and a Thai massage shop next door. Wake up to temple-side mornings and step straight into street food and market life on Sundays.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout and in-room desks for light work. Luggage storage and laundry/dry-cleaning services make quick-turn trips easier.
