Chiang Mai | Thailand :: Gongkuew Hostel Review

About a 30 minute walk/15 min bicycle ride from the pubs and restaurants, located in the north west corner of the old city, Gongkeuw Guesthouse was a vast change from bustling Bangkok. Staying in a brick bungalow with only the sounds of frogs and crickets, we relaxed and lulled into 5 nights of wonderful slumber here.

The private rooms were organized into self sufficient duplexes, dotted around a few acres complete with a pond, benches, lush green grass and a few adorable Shih Tzus. The owners were extremely helpful and accomodating, providing a free breakfast each morning and free coffee/tea/cocoa throughout the day.
