Mae Sot Commune

Mae Sot

Located in Mae Sot, Mae Sot Commune features a garden, shared lounge and free WiFi throughout the property. Free private parking is available and the hostel also provides bike hire for guests who want to explore the surrounding area. I liked that everyone was like family, despite our first time meeting one another. Mike the owner, shared many things with me, along with the other roommates in the commune. Everyone was lovely and I didn't regret my visit there, because it gave me an insight on what it's like to stay in a commune, to see how people around were living and working to earn a living. Despite the price, Mike even provided a mosquito net for my bed and yeah I didn't get bitten one bit 😂 I had good night's sleep till I almost overslept; thanks to the rooster outside for the morning wake-up call. It was a memorable experience! Thank you very much to Mike and team, for the hospitality and for the great sharing session. It was lovely. ❤️
