Situated in Chaweng and with Chaweng Beach reachable within less than 1 km, DK1Hostel features concierge services, rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace. The property is around 5.3 km from Fisherman Village, 7.6 km from Big Buddha and 11 km from Grandfather's Grandmother's Rocks. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a tour desk and currency exchange for guests. The best hostel I've stayed at in Thailand. This is thanks to its owner, Tharita. She treats you like a mother and makes you feel at home. I recommend you stop by and talk to her because she's a lovely person and a shining example of self-improvement. The hostel is in a very quiet, local area, so you'll find reasonably priced restaurants right on the street. The facilities are clean and it's very easy to make friends there. Tharita can help you book any transportation or excursions you need. I'll be back to see my Thai mom, I love you Tharita, thanks for everything.
