Back home packerisrealky nice,thank you for your care . Yes maybe some maintenance would be in order, but the beds were amazing and I liked the communual area. I also liked the location, in a little area not far from Khao San road. Everything is close by, and they make you feel really welcome.

I really recommand this place. 1st, the location, you can do a lot of things just walking. 2nd, the comfort, wide and comfy beds, a/c, very clean, a nice chill/lounge area. You can feel home there, really, and relax after an exhausting day in the city... 3rd, great to socialize, I met my travelmate the first night I arrived. They have a bar and propose some activities every night but just the place itself is good to meet people. And finally, the staff, Faa, the manager, she is really helpful, always smiling and nice and find the best trips for you and negociate all the prices. Natty is really funny and always happy, really nice too.

I have attached a map with the address written in Thai for you and a brief description on how to arrive here smoothly from either Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang Airport. See you soon! Suvarnabhumi International Airport – Option 1 TAXI Head towards the ground floor, here you will wait in a short line and be issued with a taxi on the meter, standard price range depending on traffic will be around 350THB – THB 550 including the expressway cost of 75THB and the Airport tax of 50THB. Option 2 BTS / TAXI Head to the Basement floor to the BTS (Express Sky Train) pay 45THB, get off at the end station called Phaya Thai. Easiest way from here is to grab a taxi (on the meter) to Back Home Backpackers. Direct the taxi to Samsen soi 2, and tell taxi to stop in front of the 7/11 look towards or down the street opposite 7/11 and you will see our sign “Back Home Backpackers”, Total Cost for TAXI and BTS combined is around 100 THB. BTS ticket – 45THB Taxi – 60THB/80THB. Option 3 BTS / PUBLIC BUS If on a tight budget, once at Phaya Thai Station you can walk down to the main road and there you can take the public bus number 59, about 8 – 10 THBto Democracy Monument and walk from there to Back Home Back Home backpackers, around 10 minutes. Total cost around 60THB. Option 4 SHUTTLE BUS Great Value At the airport, the bus will pick up passengers from Gate 7 on the first floor of the passenger terminal.

From Khao San Road Walk towards the end of Khao San road with the Chana Songkram Police Station on your right hand side, turn right on Chakrabongse Road, this will take you to a bridge (about 6 minute walk). Cross the bridge, this joins onto “Samsen Road” turn right on the first street after the bridge (soi 2 / street 2) then once on Soi / street 2 turn left at the first street (opposite 7/11) and look for our sign Back Home Backpackers. Don Mueang or DMK Airport Option 1 TAXI When you exit the airport follow the taxi signs and ask for a metered taxi. The fare to Back Home Backpackers should cost around 300-350 baht including the 50 baht airport surcharge. The trip will take about 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on traffic. Tip: After exiting the luggage area, walk down the right side of the airport terminal and exit onto the street. Then walk towards the main road where you’ll see a metal bridge to cross the main road but don’t cross it. The bus and taxi stops are located at the bottom of the bridge. The line ups tend to be much shorter here and you’ll avoid paying the airport surcharge from here.

I believe the reception is 24 hours but after a certain time they close the front and you have to use the side/back door so I would contact the property and run this by them.
