Whether you are visiting Chiang Mai, stopping by for coffee or joining a baking class, we hope Ray feels warm, easy and welcoming, like a little home away from home.

Guests especially love our location in the heart of Nimman, the cozy home-like atmosphere, the comfortable dorms and thoughtful facilities, the coffee bar and bakery downstairs, our friendly personal service and, of course, meeting Tuna, our resident cat and unofficial receptionist.

In their own words

★★★★★
“Me & my friends really enjoyed our stay here. Everyone is so friendly & helpful, the bakery/cafe downstairs has great buns & amazing tea. Sheets were changed every day, bathrooms were clean. If you drop your laundry at Em’s Laundry they’ll drop it off the hostel within 24 hours. Location-wise it’s also really good.”

“I had the best hostel experience ever. The dorms were super-clean, well-lit and very quite at night. The staff were very amazing and helpful. This hostel strikes a perfect balance between social and chill. The location is ideal, with cafes and shops all within walking distance. I would 100% definitely stay here again.”
