Yes kaosan

The rooms at Yes kaosan measure between 20 and 30 m² and sleep from one to three guests. The beds include queen and double beds, single beds in twin and triple layouts, and bunk beds in the dormitory rooms. Solo travellers can book a single room or a dormitory room, while two or three people can share a twin or triple room.

Air conditioning, a seating area and a desk appear in several rooms, and most rooms have a city view, with one room looking onto the street. Free Wi-Fi comes with every room, and the bathrooms are private in some rooms and shared in others, with showers, toiletries and towels.

Yes kaosan has a 24-hour front desk, an airport transfer and a shuttle service, and 24-hour security is also in place. There are tours and ticket services, as well as a currency exchange and a cash withdrawal service. Lockers, luggage storage and safety deposit boxes are also available, and daily housekeeping is provided.

On site there is a nightclub, on-site entertainment and a shared lounge and TV area, and massage is offered at an additional charge. The nightclub and the shared lounge give guests places to spend the evening in the building. Internet services are available, with Wi-Fi in the public areas, and English and Thai are spoken at the hostel.

Yes kaosan sits in the Khaosan area of Banglamphu, next to Bangkok's old city, where the royal temples and palaces stand. The area stays lively late into the evening, with backpacker bars, street-food stalls and market vendors along the lanes. It is a place where the evening scene and the historic sights are close together, and a walk in either direction brings you to a different side of the city.

Khao San Road is 100 m from the hostel, and Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, is 900 m away, with the Grand Palace 1.1 km from the hostel. Wat Arun stands across the river from the old city, reached by one of the river ferry piers nearby, and the Bangkok National Museum is a short distance away. The two airports are further out: Don Mueang is 20.8 km away and Suvarnabhumi is 28.4 km, and the hostel offers an airport transfer.

A full day could start with the temples at the Grand Palace, continue to the Bangkok National Museum, and end with a walk along Khao San Road in the evening. For a different pace, the Chatuchak Weekend Market is a large weekend market with thousands of stalls in the north of the city.
