Lub-D Silom

Best for: Backpackers looking for a bit of privacy

If you’re looking for a hostel with shared amenities (social-friendly spaces, washing machines) but affords privacy as well, Lub-D is the best place for you. Though widely known among globetrotters as one of the best hostels in the city, Lub-D also offers a selection of double rooms that come with a queen-sized bed and private bathroom at both its Siam and Silom outlets. They are also generous enough to let you leave your luggage for two months while you can trot around the country before returning to Bangkok and continuing on with your journey.
