About Us

At Non La Mer Hostel, we are more than just a place to stay—we are a small family-run hostel where everyone is welcome. Our team works together in shifts from 7 AM to 9 PM, so there’s always someone around to help you with check-in, local tips, or just a friendly chat. We love to share our island knowledge, recommend great food spots, and help you explore Koh Lanta the way locals do. You’ll also find our staff listed here with their names, photos, and direct WhatsApp contacts—so you can easily reach the right person during your stay.

Yogi – 6 Years Old , Siamese Mix Cat (Born 2019) Rescued as a kitten after his stray mother was in danger from monitor lizards. Calm, introverted, and deeply loved by everyone — though he seems to love our guests even more than his humans! You’ll often find him napping on the hammock or curling up on a guest’s lap.

Journey – Our 3-Year-Old Orange Cat Found as a tiny, frightened kitten at our front door in 2022, likely separated from his mother while escaping a barking dog. Skinny and trembling, he captured our hearts — and our guests named him “Journey” for the adventure that brought him to us. Shy and cautious, he doesn’t warm up to everyone easily, but he’s a special part of the hostel family.

Manta – Our 2-Year-Old Black & White Cat (born 2024) The little darling of the house and everyone’s favorite. Affectionate, curious, and friendly with everyone, Manta always gets along with all creatures. Clean, sweet-smelling, and full of playful little sounds, she’s loved by everyone at the hostel. Nemo – Our 2-Year-Old Chubby Orange Cat (born 2024)

Nemo is the little brother of Manta, born just a few minutes after her. Orphaned at birth, both were rescued and raised at the hostel after their mother passed away. Chubby, always hungry, and a bit grumpy at times, Nemo quickly became a favorite among guests — who even helped feed him and Manta when they were tiny kittens.
