Where is Mad Monkey Bangkok?

Our hostel is located right in the heart of the action for backpackers in Bangkok, just minutes away from the legendary Khao San Road. The hostel itself sits on a peaceful bend of Phra Sumen Road overlooking the canal and a few metres from a historic fort and a park on the Phra Sumen River.

Our vibrant neighbourhood is full of restaurants, cafes, shops, convenience stores, and more — anything you’re looking for can be found within walking distance.

 

How to get to Mad Monkey Bangkok

From Suvarnabhumi Airport, you can take a taxi (running meter is usually cheaper than a set fee). Give the driver Mad Monkey’s address (included below in Thai). Note that you must pay in Thai Baht and the total price on the meter will not include the airport surcharge and toll fees (if you take a route with tolls). You can also take the Airport Rail Link, which is a cheaper option. Take the City Line, get off at Phaya Thai BTS Station. From Phaya Thai you can (1) take a taxi or tuk-tuk to Mad Monkey or (2) take Bus #59 to Khao San (Khok Wua Junction on Ratchadamnoen Klang Rd), then walk from Khan San Road to Mad Monkey (about 10 minutes). The last option is to take Bus # S1: You can take this bus at the airport from Gate 7 on the 1st floor. Get off at Phra Sumen Road stop and walk towards the river until you reach Mad Monkey (a few minutes).

If you’re coming from Don Mueang Airport, take a taxi (details above) or take Bus #A4: You can take this bus at the airport from Gate 12. Get off at Phra Sumen Road stop and walk towards the river until you reach Mad Monkey (a few minutes).

From Mo Chit Bus Terminal, take a taxi or Bus #3. You can get on Bus #3 from inside Mo Chit Terminal. Get off at Chakrabongse Road (behind Khao San Road) or Bang Lamphu, which is the closest bus stop to Mad Monkey. It’s about a 5 minute walk to the hostel from here. Walk towards Phra Sumen Fort (Pom Phra Sumen) and you will see Mad Monkey.

From Ekkamai Bus Terminal, take a taxi or Bus #2 or #511: You can get on Bus #2 or #511 outside the terminal but on the same side of the road. Get off at Khok Wua Junction on Ratchadamnoen Klang Road. From here it’s about a 10 minute walk to Mad Monkey (head towards Phra Sumen Fort (Pom Phra Sumen) and you’ll see the hostel).

I had a really good experience here. Connor who worked at the hostel took great care of my mates and I because of his knowledge of Bangkok he was super lovely and welcoming. I would highly recommend this place to any of my mates who plan to travel to Thailand in the future! :)

First and foremost, the hostel's location is worth mentioning. Situated in a vibrant part of Bangkok, it offers easy access to popular attractions, bustling markets, and a wide range of dining and entertainment options. The hostel is conveniently located near public transportation, making it a breeze to explore the city's wonders. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, the hostel's location serves as an excellent base for your Bangkok adventures.One of the standout features of Mad Monkey Hostel is its social atmosphere. As a solo traveler, I found it incredibly easy to meet like-minded individuals and make new friends. The hostel organizes various activities and events, fostering a sense of community and ensuring an engaging experience for guests. From pub crawls to group excursions, there was always something happening that encouraged interaction and created a fun-filled environment.The dormitory-style accommodations at Mad Monkey were comfortable and well-maintained. While the rooms were not overly spacious, they provided everything needed for a pleasant stay, including comfortable beds and individual lockers to secure personal belongings. The hostel also offered private rooms for those seeking a bit more privacy.Mad Monkey Hostel boasts an array of facilities designed to enhance the overall experience of its guests. The common areas are vibrant and lively, providing ample space for socializing, relaxing, and meeting fellow travelers.While Mad Monkey Hostel Bangkok caters primarily to a young and energetic crowd, it may not be the best fit for those seeking a tranquil and serene environment. The lively atmosphere and social nature of the hostel can sometimes result in noise during peak times, so it's worth considering if you prefer a quieter setting.
A great place to stay for solo travellers or groups. Extremely friendly staff with a big shout out to Alex & Brooklyn who were incredibly attentive, informative and a great laugh. The pub crawl is an absolute must!! If you are going into Bangkok and want a social hostel definitely book Mad Monkey!

When traveling the best times are made by the people you meet and experiences you have. Fortunately, Mad Monkey has a team of hosts and staff that will make you feel welcome and included from the moment you check in.Jack, Martino, and Nikayla all immediately introduced themselves to me, showed me around the city, local food spots and fun night life activities. I was literally halfway across the world and never felt more at home.If you are solo traveling or looking for friends to meet along the way of your travels look no further than the friendly smiling faces you will encounter at Mad Monkey. Have fun and safe travels :)
