22 Best coworking spaces in Chiang Mai for nomads (2025)

Like most digital nomads, we found ourselves wondering, “Which are the best coworking spaces in Chiang Mai?” when we first arrived at CNX. As a nomad hub, the sheer number of coworking spaces to choose from was overwhelming.

But don’t worry—Sara and I took it upon ourselves to check out every single one!

Over two months, we explored more than 20 coworking spaces and coworking cafes across the city. We even went the extra mile by reaching out to each one in advance to arrange tours and learn about their services directly from the staff.

With all the options listed in one place, this guide will help you figure out which coworking space is the best fit for you. We’ll also share which one we chose, which is the cheapest, and which is the most popular!

Coworking spaces in Chiang Mai at a glance:

Best coworking spaces in Nimman

1. Life Space 

Life Space ended up being our go-to coworking space in Nimman. It was just a short walk from our apartment, super central to all the nearby restaurants and cafes, in a very safe part of town!

This coworking spot is pretty unique—it doesn’t offer monthly memberships, only 5-hour passes or a daily fee. Sara and I loved this… Maybe it’s because we have commitment issues? Or maybe it’s because we’re lazy and couldn’t resist the bunks where you can work—or sneak in a nap.

With the entrance fee, Life Space throws in a free drink from their barista bar and access to rental equipment like:

• External monitors
• Extension leads
• Reading lamps
• Paper cutting tools

We always found the atmosphere at Life Space nice and quiet—perfect for nomads in Chiang Mai to focus and get things done. Plus, the space is beautifully decorated with an indoor-outdoor vibe, complete with trees and plants, making it feel super cozy.

2. Hub53 Coworking & Coliving

Hub53 isn’t just a coworking space—it’s also a coliving space. However, we’ll be covering coliving details in a separate article. Here, we’re focusing solely on the coworking side of things.

Located right on the edge of Nimman (about a 10-minute walk from the main street), Hub53 offers super flexible membership options. Whether you need a day pass, a weekly membership, a monthly plan, or even a 20-hour flexi-pass, they’ve got something to suit everyone.

One thing we loved about Hub53 was the sheer amount of space. There are multiple hot desk areas, a few meeting rooms for rent, a soft seating area for more casual work, and several meeting booths (which they call Skype booths).

While some areas can get a bit noisy, they also offer a silent room for those who need extra focus. And if you’re after something more permanent, we were told that Hub53 has private office spaces available for long-term rent.

Oh, and let’s not forget the unlimited free coffee, tea, and water—it’s the little things that count!

3. The Brick Startup Space

The Brick Startup Space partners with Chiang Mai University to provide local start-up businesses with a collaborative place to work. But it’s not just for start-ups—they also offer a range of coworking options perfect for nomads like us!

When we visited, there weren’t a ton of hot desks available, as many were occupied by cold desk members. That said, the space wasn’t particularly busy, so it seems there’s still room for anyone interested in working here.

Tucked away on a quiet backstreet in Nimman, this spot provides a peaceful environment ideal for grinding. There’s even a small patio area out front for enjoying lunch and a coffee shop conveniently located next door.

One standout feature of The Brick Startup Space is its weekly workshops. These range from IT-focused sessions to art workshops aimed at mental health—check their Facebook page for updates! They also offer monitors for rent, lockers to keep your valuables secure, and a small kitchenette for members to use.

4. Yellow Coworking Space

Yellow Coworking is hands down the most popular coworking space in Chiang Mai. Every time we passed by, it was packed, with rows of scooters parked outside.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t get in to visit, and the prices were a bit beyond our budget. That said, we’ve had friends who worked there, and they’ve generally spoken positively about the working environment.

Yellow seems to strike a great balance between work and socialising, with dedicated areas for quiet work and spaces where conversations can flow more freely. There are plenty of seating options, ranging from tables and booths to outdoor spots.

Most people are drawn to Yellow for the networking opportunities. However, our friend Ebba, who spent a month working there, felt the space fell short when it came to organised events. She found this aspect a bit underwhelming given its reputation.

5. CAMP Coworking & Cafe

CAMP is an interesting coworking space. Located on the top floor of Maya Mall, they’ve seamlessly blended together coworking and cafe working. But what does that mean?

To start, the amount of Wi-Fi access you have is intrinsically linked to the amount of money you spend at the café. For every ฿50 you spend on drinks or food, you’ll get a voucher for 2 hours of Wi-Fi. This format means that you can just turn up and work for however long you need, and then leave again.

Although, we tried to work here a couple of times. The thing is, we always arrived in the early afternoon, after lunch, and CAMP would be pretty full. There’s a lot of different seating options, but when it’s busy, the only available ones seem to be sitting on the floor cross-legged.

Due to the way the Wi-Fi is set up, we couldn’t test the speed. But generally it worked fine for using Google Docs or social media. However, we wouldn’t want to need to download anything heavy here.

6. NIM Space

So, NIM Space is a bit of an anomaly on this list. After chatting with someone on Facebook, we decided to visit around 9 a.m., but there was no one there to meet us. We waited for about 30 minutes, hoping for a reply, but heard nothing.

We did manage to get inside thanks to someone working there, and while everything we share here is based on speculation, the space itself seemed pretty decent.

It wasn’t busy at all, with plenty of free desks available. The desks were quite large, each equipped with dedicated outlets and ethernet ports. There was also a small kitchenette for shared use.

NIM Space had more of a local vibe, with many desks appearing to be rented as cold desks long-term, giving people the chance to make the space their own. The 24/7 access with a key card also makes it a convenient option for dedicated workers.

However, we’re not really sure how hot desk payments are handled, as there didn’t seem to be anyone around to take payments or assist with day passes.

We followed up with a Facebook message after we left, asking for prices and a Wi-Fi speed test, but unfortunately, we didn’t get any response—just crickets.

7. Greenhouse Community Space

Greenhouse Community Space is another coworking spot with a distinctly local vibe. We stopped by early in the morning and were warmly welcomed by a super kind receptionist who gave us a tour and shared helpful information about the space.

Greenhouse isn’t huge, but it’s also not overcrowded, so you’re likely to find an available desk whenever you drop in. Each cluster of four desks has its own outlets, and the cushioned chairs are quite comfortable. Located on a quiet street, the atmosphere here is peaceful and great for focused work.

They also offer event spaces for rent, with discounted rates to make them more accessible for students. Another unique feature is their dedicated recording room, complete with sound panels for noise dampening, which is also available for rent.

If Greenhouse Community Space feels like the right fit for you, they offer a range of rental options, including hourly, weekly, and monthly passes. For long-term users, they provide monthly memberships as well as 40-hour and 50-hour flexi-passes.

BuriSiri Hotel is perfect for the more casual worker who enjoys mixing work with a bit of leisure. The coworking area is set inside the hotel’s restaurant, which means it’s not accessible until 10:30 a.m., after hotel guests finish breakfast.

For just ฿150, your day pass includes access to the coworking area, the hotel pool, and a soft drink—making it one of the more unique coworking experiences in Chiang Mai.

That said, the tables and chairs aren’t exactly designed for productivity—they’re just standard restaurant furniture. But let’s be real, that’s not what you’re here for. At BuriSiri, you’re paying for the laid-back vibe, a relaxing day, and the chance to take a refreshing dip in the pool around work time.

And the cherry on top? BuriSiri runs a happy hour with cocktails between 5:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.! 

The manager also mentioned that they’re opening (actually, it’s already open now) another property by the Ping River!

A quick break in this article to talk about best global travel and health insurance for nomads and travellers!

By far the best insurance option we’ve found as full-time traveling nomads is SafetyWing. We’ve been with them for over three years now, and honestly, they’ve been a lifesaver.

Their customer support is some of the best we’ve ever experienced, we can renew from anywhere in the world (no residency required), and the payout process has always been smooth and hassle-free.

SafetyWing offers various insurance plans depending on how much coverage you think you’ll need:

Best coworking spaces in the Old City

9. Alt_ChiangMai Coworking & Coliving

Alt_ChiangMai is another coliving space, which we’ll talk about in a different guide. But on the ground floor they offer access to their super modern coworking space. There are huge windows and lots of natural light, something we always appreciate.

It boasts a higher end price tag (still nothing close to Yellow though…), but with the price tag comes a more luxurious experience. The child of an interior designer and someone who used to work in the 5-star hotel space, you’d expect nothing less.

Alt_ChiangMai also offers weekly events. Although some are reserved just for residence, some are accessible by coworking members too. For example, every Tuesday and Thursday lunchtime they run an event called ‘Tea Time’. Everyone can come together to chat and network with each other over a warm cuppa!

Speaking of cuppa’s, right next door is Bella Goose Coffee. We actually visited a different branch of Bella Goose for breakfast once, and it was delicious!

In terms of memberships, Alt_ChiangMai offers a 4-hour pass, a day pass, a weekly pass and a 15-day pass. For long-term, there are monthly and quarterly memberships for both hot desks and cold desks.

10. Punspace (Wiang Kaew)

This is the first of two properties owned by Punspace in the Old City, and in our opinion, it’s the better choice. This is because of the massive outdoor patio and garden area.

When we visited, we saw a group of guys kicking a ball around on the grass, someone napping in a hammock, and a few people enjoying smoothie bowls from a nearby stall. It’s a great spot if you enjoy working with some fresh air and a relaxed vibe.

Inside, the aesthetic is modern, dark and more minimalist, with mainly black and monotone colours. The space is thoughtfully divided, with separate rooms for louder collaboration, quieter deep work, and phone booths for online meetings.

Punspace Wiang Kaew also provides a variety of pass and membership options. Whether you need a day pass, a weekly pass, or a longer-term commitment like monthly, quarterly, half-year, or full-year memberships (the last one being cold desk only), Punspace has got you.

11. Punspace (Tha Phae Gate)

The second Punspace coworking space in Chiang Mai is near Tha Phae Gate, but we couldn’t check it out since it was booked for an event the day we planned to visit.

From what the team at Wiang Kaew told us, the setup is pretty similar. The Tha Phae Gate space doesn’t have the outdoor garden area but has a brighter and more open design. It’s also bigger, so if Wiang Kaew is full, this spot could be a good alternative.

Obviously, we didn’t get to test the Wi-Fi here, but it looks like the pricing is the same as Wiang Kaew judging by their website.

12. The Social Club Coworking & Coliving

The Social Club has one of the most tight-knit communities we came across in Chiang Mai. With daily events and meet-ups, it’s an amazing spot to connect with other nomads and make new friends.

This space also has some of the fastest internet speeds we experienced. It offers multiple work areas, including a quiet zone for deep focus and call booths you can book for meetings. Beyond work, there are two communal areas—one with a pool table and ping pong, and the other with comfy sofas and board games.

And we can’t forget the four resident cats, always ready to provide emotional support!

One thing to keep in mind: during high season, when The Social Club fills up with coliving guests, they close the coworking space to the general public. This is to ensure enough room for their guests to work.

13. Regus Chiang Mai

Regus is one of the largest chains of coworking spaces in the world.

Although it’s on the pricier side, with Regus, you’re paying for access to the entire chain, not just a single coworking space. If you sign up for a monthly hot desk here, you’ll also have access to the communal coworking in all the Regus locations across Thailand.

However, their main focus is on office rentals rather than daily hot desking. During our tour, we noticed almost endless office options, big and small. When you book an office long-term with Regus, you can visit anytime, 24/7. Plus, you gain access to public coworking spaces at any Regus location worldwide—over 4,000 in total!

We actually really vibed with the coworking area at this particular Regus. It was super bright, with large desks, plenty of outlets and Ethernet connections, and fast, stable Wi-Fi.

Best coworking spaces in Santitham

14. Socialer Coworking & Coliving

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Socialer is yet another great spot for connecting with fellow nomads. The space has a casual, homey vibe—probably because it feels like a converted house—and the coworking area is essentially the communal living room.

The working space itself is fairly small, with just a few desks, but it’s not overly busy. We visited just before lunchtime on a Thursday and found only one other person using the space.

Located outside Nimman on a super quiet back street, Socialer is still within walking distance of Nimman and Santitham Road, making it easy to grab food nearby.

Socialer offers monitors for guests on a first-come, first-served basis. There’s also a small ‘chilling’ area—a raised wooden platform with cushions—perfect for those who prefer a more relaxed work mode.

Lastly, Socialer organises weekly workshops open to both residents and coworking guests. They invite a current resident or nomad to share a topic they’re passionate about, giving everyone a chance to learn something new!

15. One Workspace

We weren’t sure what to expect when we arrived at One Workspace, but we were actually pleasantly surprised.

At first, we walked into a café (Tora Bake) and were a bit confused, wondering what the hell was going on. It turns out, the coworking space is attached to the café, with the ‘loud’ room right next door and the ‘quiet’ room upstairs.

One Workspace has a simple setup—plain white desks and a minimalist design. But honestly, it’s everything you’d need to set up a personalised desk for however long you’re staying.

The monthly fee is one of the cheapest we’ve seen in Chiang Mai. They also offer add-ons, like access to a locker for ฿4,499 a month, or a monitor and locker deal for ฿4,999. Otherwise, you can rent a monitor for 30 days at ฿890.

Tucked away on another backstreet in the Santitham neighbourhood, it’s a really peaceful spot. Our friend Martin rented a monthly cold desk here with a monitor and said it’s the best value for money he’s found in the area.

Alternatively, One Workspace has another property in the Old City too.

16. RealSpace

RealSpace is an anomaly on this list, as it markets itself as a social space more than a coworking space. Not only is it a cool spot to work in, the owner, Isaac, also organises weekly social events for anybody to attend.

We actually joined a couple of these events–the Friday night ‘Network & Beers’ event–and always had a good time. It tended to turn into a “let’s drink beer and play board games” event, and we met a few of our good friends through these meet-ups.

This unbelievably cheap monthly membership also gets you access to:

• Hot desks on the 2nd, 3rd and 5th floors
• The board game room
• The cinema room
• All weekly events (happening daily)
• A massage chair
• The VR room
• 4 guest passes per month

And yes, I (Ryan) used the VR room, and it’s a lot of fun! Isaac also showed us the new “Creator Room” for filming that would be opening soon (maybe it already is!), and it’s a beast!

Best coworking spaces around Ping River and the Night Bazaar

17. ALT_PingRiver Coworking & Coliving

We’ll keep this one short since Alt_PingRiver is the alternate property to Alt_ChiangMai. Unfortunately, we couldn’t check it out because a private event was happening when we planned to visit.

From what the marketing manager at Alt_ChiangMai told us, the PingRiver location has a similar vibe but with a slightly different design. Instead of being built from scratch, it was converted from an old Thai house, which gives it a unique charm.

Other than that, we don’t know much about Alt_PingRiver.

18. The Story 106 Coworking & Cafe

Sara and I really enjoyed working at The Story 106. Like CAMP, how much Wi-Fi time you get depends on what you order. Here’s the breakdown:

• 1 hour (฿60 to ฿100)
• 2 hours (฿100 to ฿150)
• 3 hours (฿150 to ฿200)
• 5 hours (฿200+)

We grabbed lunch while we were there—a club sandwich and an orange juice—which cost ฿189 and won me 3 hours of Wi-Fi.

The coworking space is upstairs, and it’s massive. It almost feels like it stretches across two buildings, with a big main room, a smaller auxiliary room, and even a small outdoor patio on the second floor. Smokers will appreciate not having to leave the building.

Honestly, the food was delicious. We could definitely see ourselves staying here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which would easily cover a full day’s worth of internet access.

19. Lana Beds & Spaces

Although we visited Lana Beds & Spaces, it wasn’t the best timing. Chiang Mai had recently been hit by severe floods from the Ping River, and this property was still in recovery mode.

That said, the coworking space is massive, spanning three floors with plenty of desks and comfortable office chairs on each level. There’s also a smaller, more casual area with cushions for a chilled work session.

Sara and I were there around 3 PM on a Thursday, and the space was completely empty. However, the owner mentioned that after school hours (around 4:30 PM), it tends to fill up with students from a nearby school who use the space.

On top of the coworking area, there’s kitchen access at the coliving building next door. You can order food to eat here, or bring your own lunch and store it in their giant fridge.

I thought I’d snapped a picture of the prices to translate them from Thai later, but apparently, they’d tippexced over the day pass price—which used to be ฿150.

Best coworking spaces outside of central Chiang Mai

20. Heartwork the Sharing Space

Heartwork leans more toward being a café than a coworking space, but it’s a fantastic, affordable option for budget-conscious remote workers.

When you arrive, you’re expected to buy at least a drink, and they charge an additional ฿20 on top of the drink price for daily internet access. That’s why it’s so cheap! That said, the internet isn’t the fastest, so keep that in mind.

If you’re looking for a quiet spot to work without needing heavy internet use, Heartwork could be just right. We worked downstairs beside a huge window that let in tons of natural light, but there’s also plenty of desk space upstairs.

We also noticed a room with a massive printer and scanner, so it seems they might offer printing services. However, we can’t confirm whether or not the public are allowed to use it.

21. Code Space

Although a bit inconveniently far outside of central Chiang Mai, Code Space could be a great option for remote workers looking for a coworking space off of the beaten path. 

The property itself is actually lovely, with large windows and lots of natural light (can you tell we appreciate natural light?). We were at Code Space at 1 PM on a Thursday, and although there were lots of people (mainly Thai locals), it was only half full. This leaves plenty of space!

It’s also attached to Code Cafe, which offers drinks and pastries. However, the main menu was in Thai, so we’re not completely sure what else you could get. 

With a printer, lockers and different sized meetings rooms (8 pax & 20 pax) available, this space generally has what every nomad might need. 

Although the owner let us in, she didn’t really give us a tour, so we don’t know the prices. I tried to look online, but to no avail.

22. StarWork

StarWork is located quite far west of the Ping River and has more of a business vibe than most coworking spaces we visited. It felt like their main focus is on office rentals—they do have a ton of offices!

That said, if you’re interested in checking it out, they do offer daily, weekly, and monthly passes. These give you access to the communal areas on most floors (basically all the space between the offices).

The internet speed was solid, and the décor had a “smoking room” aesthetic—dark green tones and cosy vibes. It actually felt quite relaxing, and we could see ourselves working there comfortably.

Plus, with such an affordable monthly membership price, StarWork could be a great option for those staying in Chiang Mai longer term.

Which was our favourite coworking space in Chiang Mai?

Out of all the coworking spaces we tried, we found ourselves gravitating toward Life Space the most. We loved the flexibility of choosing between a day pass or a 5-hour option, plus the complimentary barista-made drink was a nice touch.

Life Space has an excellent atmosphere for getting work done. Everyone is super quiet and focused. The modern décor, paired with skylights that flood the space with natural light, makes it feel open and inviting.

The internet was consistently reliable—we never had any issues completing work tasks. While we didn’t personally use an external monitor, plenty of other digital nomads did, creating impressive and functional temporary setups at their desks.

What if you don’t want to sign up to a coworking space in Chiang Mai?

If you’re on a tight budget or prefer not to commit to a coworking space, why not try working from some of Chiang Mai’s many cafés?

We explored tons of cafés across the city, and the great thing about Chiang Mai is how well it embraces digital nomads—most cafés make excellent working spots.
