About Stamps Backpackers Hostel & Tours Chiang Mai

Stamps Backpackers enjoys an excellent reputation among solo travelers in Southeast Asia, and its Chiang Mai location on Chaiyapoom Road in the historic Old City consistently lives up to this reputation. The hostel offers an exceptional combination: the dormitories feature sleeping capsules that provide true privacy and comfort, while the overall atmosphere remains open and sociable – a perfect synergy of advantages. The bar and lounge area serve as a natural meeting point where travelers connect, make plans, and often explore the city together.

The team at Stamps, whose staff are praised by guests for their genuine interest in the guest experience, creates a relaxed yet aimless atmosphere. There's always something going on, whether it's day trips organized by the hostel or spontaneous group excursions. The tour booking service is a convenient perk for travelers who want to explore the surrounding area without having to research and organize things themselves.

    Stamps is one of my absolute favorite hostels! ‼️‼️**During my two months in China, I stayed in over nine hostels in the Old City – my favorites are at the end!**‼️‼️ Great tours are organized during the day, and you quickly get to know other hostel guests (the cooking class is highly recommended!). The beds are great – I love the dorms with air conditioning! (The first time I stayed, I had bunk beds with a fan, which weren't as nice.) Every evening there are great events; the pub quiz and music bingo are fantastic and make it super easy to meet people! The common room is amazing! ‼️During my two months in China, I stayed in over nine hostels in the Old City. Here are my five favorites, where I would stay again in a heartbeat!

    Stamps is one of the best hostels I stayed in during my eight-month trip through Asia. The rooms and beds are the nicest and offer the most privacy I've ever experienced in a hostel. The atmosphere is great, and it's easy to strike up a conversation with people. No one is pressured to drink, and it's always pleasantly quiet. The activities and events on offer are a lot of fun and a great way to meet new people. Plus, the prices at Stamps are really great. The staff are all very friendly, and I even became friends with some of them during my stay. I highly recommend Stamps!

    Friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do – the owners truly care about their guests. Knight and his team go out of their way to make guests feel at home. The atmosphere is relaxed but not boring; there's always something going on, but no one is pressured to participate. A great location in Chiang Mai, clean, and so cozy that you'll want to stay longer than planned. Highly recommended for all backpackers traveling through Thailand.

    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.

    A pool villa doesn't have to be expensive.

    Villas with private pools in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai are available from around 2,500–4,000 THB per night – a fraction of the prices in Bali or the Maldives. Search specifically for "pool villa" to discover hidden gems.

    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.
