Quaint
&
Beautiful
Place
in
the
Heart
of
Chiang
Mai
I
went
to
Chiang
Mai
during
an
off-peak
season
and
it
was
before
Thailand
had
actually
opened
up
for
no
quarantine
travel.
Turns
out
I
was
the
only
guest
in
the
hostel
during
my
stay
and
nevertheless
despite
that,
their
staff
Pim
and
Perng
were
really
accommodating
and
super
nice
everyday
of
my
stay.
Arak
Hostel
is
situated
in
the
middle
of
Nimman
area
and
Old
City
so
most
places
were
about
5-10min
drive
away,
which
was
great.
In
Chiang
Mai,
there
are
no
public
trains
or
buses
so
you
would
have
to
either
take
the
Rod
Daeng
(Red
Buses/Trucks)
which
is
their
main
transport,
or
take
a
Grab,
or
if
the
location
is
too
far
out
or
its
too
late,
you
can
always
engage
a
private
driver
(a
little
more
expensive
but
they
stay
with
you
till
youre
done).
Pim
and
Perng
introduced
markets
(Sunday
Walking
Market),
cafes
(cat
cafes
and
cool
cafes)
and
things
to
do
and
were
always
there
to
strike
conversations
with
you,
have
Google
translate
accessible
on
your
phone
and
endless
conversation
will
flow!
It
was
a
really
heartwarming
stay
as
I
was
the
only
guest
the
entire
time
but
they
really
have
made
me
feel
right
at
home
and
I
feel
like
I've
made
some
great
friends!
Super
clean,
peaceful
and
very
well-maintained,
they
also
have
a
cafe
at
the
lobby
with
great
coffee,
so
if
you
were
to
visit
Chiang
Mai,
you
definitely
have
to
stay
at
Arak
Hostel!
