About the Get Hi Hostel
Get Hi Hostel is located on Satharn Payabarn Road in the Mueang district of Chiang Rai, making it an ideal base for guests wishing to easily access the temples, night markets, and transport links north to Laos. The hostel is run by owners First and Joe, who are consistently praised by guests for their personal attention and dedication to ensuring every guest has a memorable stay.
The atmosphere here is one of Get Hi's biggest strengths. Guests describe a vibrant yet respectful environment where travelers can easily connect, take trips together, and return to a hostel that still feels calm and welcoming. The owners and staff are known for going above and beyond the call of hospitality. They help guests with onward travel arrangements, such as the slow boat trip to Laos, offer local tips, and foster a sense of community that keeps the hostel consistently busy – with both regular guests and those staying at neighboring accommodations.
The cooler season in Chiang Rai, from November to February, offers the most pleasant conditions for exploring the surrounding area, including the White Temple and the Golden Triangle. Travelers wishing to use the hostel as a base for entering Laos should contact the staff directly, as they have experience organizing this route. Early booking is recommended during peak season, as the hostel fills up quickly due to its friendly atmosphere and the owners' attentive service.

I had a fantastic time at this hostel before embarking on my longboat trip to Laos. The staff and volunteers were incredibly helpful and attentive, giving me valuable tips and recommendations for a pleasant stay. They even remembered my name, which added a personal touch to my experience. I highly recommend the tuk-tuk tour. It takes you to the main temples, a beautiful waterfall, and a breathtaking spot to watch the sunset. It was an unforgettable experience and worth every penny. The hostel also offers a briefing twice a day for anyone planning the longboat trip to Laos, providing essential information and guidance. The hostel's common areas have a pleasant, sociable atmosphere, and I had the pleasure of meeting some lovely people. Evening activities are also organized, and I particularly enjoyed visiting the night market and having drinks at a local bar with the hostel group.
A truly fantastic hostel! The staff are incredibly friendly and the guests are very sociable yet respectful. Everyone enjoys doing things together, but the hostel still maintains a relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely come back. I was sorry to have to leave so quickly without a proper goodbye because I missed my bus. I also recommend taking advantage of the staff's restaurant and activity recommendations. For example, they showed me an excellent beef noodle bar and a Thai massage parlor. They also organize great day trips.
A fantastic hostel with fantastic owners! My stay here was great; the hosts helped me and my friends book a boat to Laos! They were incredibly helpful and friendly. The hostel offers great city tours. The owners also went above and beyond to help me retrieve an item I had accidentally left behind! They are truly wonderful people, and I wholeheartedly recommend this hostel. Honestly, this place is simply amazing!! Thank you so much!

Tips for visiting hotels and resorts
Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.
After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.
Location is more important than the stars
A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
