My experience with First and Joe has been nothing short of incredible. This was my first volunteer experience and the beginnings of my international travels and they have made it the best start I could ask for. This hostel is one for the books. Very social and involved, events every night, and the true feeling of family, for guests and volunteers alike. First and Joe are so incredibly kind, caring, and are overall great company to have. I'd recommend this hostel to anyone and everyone. I absolutely see myself returning in the future. Thank you Joe and First, love you dearly ❤️❤️

I highly recommend to do volunteering at the hostel. The moment I arrived joe, first and the volunteers welcomed me very warmly. The tasks are really reasonable and easy to manage. I learned so much at that place, there is so much more to do in Chiang Rai than you think. I made so many amazing friends there. I am definitely gonna come back here!!

My stay at GetHi was super comfortable and chill. It was a great place to work and reset after months of travel. Met some amazing other travellers and volunteers during my time here. There is so much to do and see in Chiang Rai! What an amazing gem of a city that is too often skipped by others. The volunteer work was fairly simple, although some midday shifts felt awkward to plan other activities / sightseeing around. Joe and First are lovely hosts and are good about rotating the shifts pretty evenly. I felt well cared for and right at home during my entire stay. Highly recommend!

It was one of the best places I have volunteered in! From day one, I felt so much care and love for me, other volunteers and all the guests. You can be sure that First and Joe will do everything to make you feel comfortable and enjoy your time in Chiang Rai. The working hours are really reasonable and respected. The work itself is not hard and fun, you have a chance to meet international travellers and join trips and activities. I made such good friends in the hostel and it truly became my home! I'll definetely be back to experience all of it again 💛

I am so truly grateful for your kindness and love and the memories we were able to share. First and Joe are truly selfless people 🙏🏼

Best decision I made! It was my first time volunteering at a hostel but Joe and First and all the other volunteers warmly welcomed me into the family. The hours are set and the tasks are all reasonable. Doing check ins, and maintaining the common areas. You will still have plenty of time to interact or join tours with other travelers or jist do your own thing. I made such good friends here and for that I'll always be grateful for the opportunity. I left feeling like I'm leaving a second home. Highly recommended whether you are volunteering or just staying as a traveler.

The experience at the hostel is exceptional. From the moment I arrived, they welcomed me like a family. First and Jou are wonderful people. I have a great love for them and this beautiful city Chiang Rai. They taught me the activities to do, I was able to practice English and it is a lot about teamwork and responsibility. The stay was always a combination of adventure exploring new places, making new friends, and sharing with everyone in the evening activities. I'd love to return soon.

The hostel was a good place for all travelers to come together and socialize. There were daily activities for the guests and volunteers. You worked a set of 4 hours each day, with a day off a week. The work was simple and straightforward, and gave you a chance to learn about the behind the scenes operations of running a hostel. First was amazing, and super helpful, always making sure we were well taken care of. Only drawback was the other owner. He had a short temper, and would lash out on volunteers and guests. Overall it was a good experience.

Joe and First replied

Thank you for your honest feedback. Running a hostel is like captaining a slow boat—mostly smooth sailing, but sometimes there’s turbulence. During peak season we were short‑staffed, and even with two volunteers in hospital, we still visited them between double shifts.

I’m sorry if anything felt unprofessional. I only wish you’d said so sooner—maybe over that Mexican feast and margaritas I hosted as a team apology. Best of luck!
