Chiang Mai Party Hostels
Mad Monkey Chiang Mai
This is one of my absolute favorite best hostels in Thailand, located close to the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar, Tha Pae Gate, and the Wat Chedi Luang Temple.
At the hostel, you’ll find a restaurant and bar, as well as an awesome swimming pool. There’s something going on here each night, and the activities are a great way to meet new people to drink and party with.
This is one of the wildest party hostels in the city, close to the Night Bazaar and Tha Pae Gate. By day, they offer amazing tours, but by night they crank up the fun.
Don’t miss taking part in the largest pub crawl in Chiang Mai when you’re staying here. Be ready to party a lot if you are staying in this social hostel, and don’t expect to get much sleep at night!

The bar is jam-packed here every night of the week. They offer different drink promotions each night, and various themed evenings throughout the week.
Pai Party Hostels
Mad Monkey Pai
Wondering where to stay in Pai? This chain of popular hostels is found throughout Southeast Asia, and I loved their location in Pai. It’s a beautiful property surrounded by the area’s mountains.
It’s a fun party hostel that also offers a laid-back atmosphere during the daytime if you are just looking to chill out. The bar here gets extremely busy every night, and it’s the perfect place to drink surrounded by this incredible scenery.

This hostel is known for how welcoming and social it is, and once again it’s surrounded by incredible scenery in Pai.

Everything you can expect from Bodega hostels in Thailand is here at their Pai location. With incredible daytime tours and a sociable night-time party vibe, you’ll love staying here on your next trip.

I loved my time staying here, and it really elevated my experience in Pai to the next level.
Bangkok Party Hostels
Bangkok is the world-leading capital when it comes to fun and there’s no shortage of parties. The best party hostels in Bangkok are Mad Monkey, Slumber Party and Bodega Hostels.
Mad Monkey Bangkok
Mad Monkey makes an appearance once again in the Thai capital. Bangkok is an incredible place to party, so you’ll want to stay somewhere where you can meet amazing people to enjoy nights out with.
Located near Khao San Road, this hostel is in the backpacker hub of Bangkok. They have a great swimming pool onsite as well as a bar and restaurant. It organizes regular events, which are the perfect way for solo travelers to meet new friends.
Their drinks specials are a great deal, and so the bar here is the ideal place to pre-drink before a night out.
There’s always something going on here, whether that’s a pool party or a karaoke night.
Basically, every night when I stayed there was exactly like this: drinking games, shots and then we went to a party on Khao San Road, which is only a 5 minutes walk.
Bodega Bangkok
This is the original party hostel in the city, and it’s located right in the middle of all the action. It’s close to Soi Cowboy and Soi 11, which are great areas for clubs and bars.
Being one of the best places to stay in Bangkok, they have a different party every day of the week. With fun events like beer pong tournaments and the largest pub crawl in Bangkok, you won’t have a quiet night during your stay here!
Slumber’s motto is “adventure hard/party hard”, and that’s certainly what you’ll do if you stay here!
They’ve got quite a reputation as an amazing party place in the city, and often guests from other hostels come here to drink.
Located just a short walk from the BTS in Sukhumvit, there are plenty of bars and clubs around the hostel.
The staff here were super friendly and organized come fun social events, where I met people I’m friends with to this day.
Chiang Rai Party Hostels
Norn Nung Len Café & Hostel
Chiang Rai is much more limited in terms of party hostels, but for a good sociable place to stay, particularly at the weekends, I’d recommend Norn Nung Len.
This Thai hostel has a relaxed atmosphere, and each weekend there’s some great live local music which everyone gathers to drink during.
Chiang Rai has less of a party scene than the cities listed above, but you’ll meet some cool people here and enjoy drinking together late into the night.

Koh Samui Party Hostels
Bodega Koh Samui
It has a small pool with a swim-up bar, so everyone’s drinking here all day and night. They organize drinking games every day, beer pong tournaments, pub crawls, and different other activities.

Koh Phangan Party Hostels
Slumber Party Hostel Koh Phangan
In my point of view Slumber Party Hostel Koh Phangan is the best party hostel in Thailand.
Home to the Full Moon Party, you’ll want to make sure you choose the right hostel when you visit this island. Koh Phangan is considered the most popular party island in Southeast Asia, along with Bali and Phi Phi.
Slumber Party Hostels are renowned throughout the country for their party hostels, and it’s the perfect place to meet people from a wide variety of cultures and backgrounds.
If you are antisocial, this is not the place for you! Their age limit is 35 years old, so expect a young and wild crowd.
If you plan to stay here for the Full Moon or Half Moon parties, book in advance as they are extremely popular due to the amazing parties and events they organize.
The video below I did record in 2020 in the last month of the Full Moon Party did run. Amazing hostel, right?

This is a wild party hostel, but also offers a lot of relaxation areas in the daytime. It offers a tropical beach paradise, as well as the chance to meet people from around the world and party together.
They only require a three-night minimum stay around the Full Moon party, which is much shorter and more generous than other hostels. As with the others, you’ll want to book up nice and early in advance of these popular events.

Koh Phi Phi Party Hostels

Phuket Party Hostels
Slumber Party Hostel Phuket
When looking for a Thai hostel to party at, you know you’re in safe hands with Slumber Party. Get ready for a wild ride here, as this hostel is located close to Bangla Road.
If you don’t know about Bangla Road, it’s about a kilometer long and is full of bars and clubs. Just 5 minutes from this infamous road and 6-7 minutes from Patong beach, this hostel has the perfect location in Phuket.
It’s also the perfect place to nurse your hangover after a wild night out with your new hostel friends. The staff here organize some fantastic events, so don’t worry if you are traveling solo, as you’ll go home with plenty of new friends. Check our guide for more places to stay in Phuket.
There are 2 Slumber Party Hostels in Phuket, Thailand, one has a pool and the other one is organizing pub crawls a few times a week.
I’ve stayed in the one without a pool but I went a couple of times to the other one as well for pool parties.
Make sure you give them a call before you arrive as at the time I went there last time (January 2020 I think) they had the wrong address on their website and I was looking for the hostel 30-40 minutes before someone told me the hostel is not there and lots of backpackers are searching this hostel every day in that place.
This amazing chain of hostels has another location in Phuket, which is home to Phuket’s best bar crawl. It offers all the conveniences you’d expect from a modern hostel, with the strongest drinks in the area.
They organize tours, games, cheap drinks, and fun activities, so you’ll have plenty of chances to mingle with your roommates.
It’s the most social spot in town, so if you are looking to party hard, this is one of the best party hostels in Thailand.
Krabi Party Hostels
Slumber Party Hostel Ao Nang
For another great Thai party hostel, Thailand travelers are spoilt by Slumber Party’s location in Ao Nang. Their maximum age is 35, so you are going to have a wild and drunken time here.
You’ll also enjoy comfy beds here, and free beach transfers four times a day. They offer free barbeque on pub crawl nights and free shots every night.
They are home to a massive pub crawl, where you’re guaranteed to have one of the best nights of your trip. Also, check what are the best places to go at night in Krabi.
Balcony Party Hostel Beachfront Ao Nang
One of the largest party hostels in the area, they have one of my favorite bars here, with amazing views of Ao Nang.
They are loud and proud, so don’t stay here if you are looking for a quiet night. Expect fun hostel activities and crazy energy every night of the week.
It provides an amazing setting for a fun party trip while providing safe and clean accommodations. Every night there’s a free mini pub crawl that ends at the famous Beat-Up Bar in the clubbing complex below the hostel’s bar.
