Ray Coffee Bar & Hostel

Stay, Sip & Bake in the Heart of Nimman

Discover Ray: a cozy hostel, coffee bar, bakery and baking studio, all together in one welcoming space in Chiang Mai.

Ray's reception: the wooden counter with Tuna on it, under the yellow Ray Hostel sign.

More Than Just a Bed

Ray Coffee Bar & Hostel is a cozy space in the heart of Nimman, bringing together comfortable stays, good coffee, freshly baked treats and hands-on baking experiences. Whether you are visiting Chiang Mai, stopping by for coffee or joining a baking class, we hope Ray feels warm, easy and welcoming, like a little home away from home.

Guests especially love our location in the heart of Nimman, the cozy home-like atmosphere, the comfortable dorms and thoughtful facilities, the coffee bar and bakery downstairs, our friendly personal service and, of course, meeting Tuna, our resident cat and unofficial receptionist.

    “Me & my friends really enjoyed our stay here. Everyone is so friendly & helpful, the bakery/cafe downstairs has great buns & amazing tea. Sheets were changed every day, bathrooms were clean. If you drop your laundry at Em’s Laundry they’ll drop it off the hostel within 24 hours. Location-wise it’s also really good.”

    “I had the best hostel experience ever. The dorms were super-clean, well-lit and very quite at night. The staff were very amazing and helpful. This hostel strikes a perfect balance between social and chill. The location is ideal, with cafes and shops all within walking distance. I would 100% definitely stay here again.”
