Julie Guesthouse
Classic budget guesthouse near the Sunday Walking Street with decades of backpacker heritage.
About this Place
A Chiang Mai institution since the 1990s, Julie Guesthouse has welcomed generations of budget travellers to its no-frills rooms on a quiet soi off Phrapokklao Road. The appeal is straightforward: clean fan-cooled rooms at rock-bottom prices in one of the Old City's best locations, steps from the Sunday Walking Street market and Wat Chedi Luang. The ground-floor common area serves as an informal travel bureau where backpackers compare notes on trekking routes and Doi Suthep approaches. Rooms are basic — wooden beds, thin mattresses, shared bathrooms — but the price allows extended stays that let travellers truly settle into Chiang Mai's rhythm. The friendly Thai family who runs the guesthouse has been doing so for decades, and their local recommendations are gold.
