Located in Pai, 200 metres from Pai Night Market, Moon Garden Hostel provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. Located around 2.5 km from Wat Phra That Mae Yen, the hostel with free WiFi is also 8 km away from Pai Canyon. The property is non-smoking and is set 200 metres from Pai Bus station. Great location—just a 5-minute walk to the night street, but tucked away in a quiet spot perfect for relaxing. 10 minutes walking to minivan station. The atmosphere is super chill, especially in the lounge area where it's easy to unwind or meet other travelers. The bathroom was impressively clean throughout my stay. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a good balance of nightlife access and laid-back vibes.

Guest rooms at the hostel are equipped with a seating area. Each room includes air conditioning and a TV, and certain rooms at Nonoteru Chiangmai have a river view. All units will provide guests with a fridge. This stay truly exceeded expectations, delivering the experience of a 4-star hotel. The cleanliness was remarkable, especially in the shared bathrooms and toilets, which were always impeccably clean and very modern. Free shampoo, hair conditioner, and shower gel were provided, and the new showers offered consistently warm water with excellent pressure. The Wi-Fi was stable and high-speed, perfect for any online needs. A beautifully decorated shared kitchen was available, offering free tea, coffee, and cocoa powder. It created a lovely atmosphere to meet new friends, and the presence of a microwave and free hot and cold water was a big plus. Breakfast was also provided—simple yet a wonderful addition that we greatly appreciated. The dormitory itself was exceptionally modern. Instead of bunk beds, each guest had an individual bed with thoughtful separations, providing a comfortable and private space. Safe boxes for each bed added an extra layer of convenience. The location was excellent, with several affordable, cozy local restaurants nearby and just a 20-minute walk to the city center. The staff were extremely professional and helpful, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay. With all these positive points, this place is highly recommended, and if you have the chance to stay here, don’t miss it!
