PD Hostel

Rooms at PD Hostel take in two, three and four guests, from an 18 m² Standard Queen Room with a queen bed to a 28 m² Large Double or Twin Room with two queen beds. The 24 m² Budget Triple Room combines a single bed and a queen bed, so it can host three guests.

Bedding varies by room, and the 18, 24 and 28 m² rooms each have a private bathroom and air conditioning. Some rooms sleep up to four guests, and the hostel's rooms are set up for solo travellers, couples and small groups alike.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, and the hostel also offers internet services in its public areas. A 24-hour front desk and 24-hour security are on site, and guests can leave luggage in storage and receive daily housekeeping.

Air conditioning is installed in the public areas, and pets are allowed. The hostel offers a family room, and the staff speak English and Thai. Guests can use the shared lounge with its large flat-screen TV and sofas, and a vending machine offers snacks and drinks.

PD Hostel is in the Don Mueang district of northern Bangkok, a residential and transport-oriented area around Don Mueang International Airport, the city's former main airport, which still handles domestic and low-cost flights. The neighbourhood is quieter than the central districts, and it appeals to travellers who want a simple base close to the airport and the railway lines rather than the bustle of the old city.

Right beside the hostel, Wat Don Muang Temple is 100 m away, and Don Muang Railway Station is 400 m away, with Don Mueang SRT Station a little further on. Don Mueang New Market is a short walk from the hostel, and for the bigger sights Chatuchak Weekend Market is 14.9 km away while The Grand Palace is 22.6 km away.

A practical day could start with Wat Don Muang Temple, then head into the old city for the Grand Palace and Wat Arun on the Chao Phraya riverbank. Wat Arun, with its tall central prang, is best seen from across the river. Chatuchak Weekend Market is open only at weekends, so plan that visit for a Saturday or Sunday. Evenings in the old city are livelier than around the airport, and Khaosan Road, the backpacker street, is the place to go for a late drink.
