Chiang Mai pioneered Southeast Asia's digital nomad scene and the coworking ecosystem reflects that.
Punspace (Nimmanhaemin, Tha Phae Gate, Wiang Bua) — the original Chiang Mai coworking brand. Locations vary in vibe; Nimman is most polished, Wiang Bua quieter. Monthly ฿2,500–฿4,500.
CAMP at Maya Lifestyle Mall (Nimman) — free coworking inside a major mall, requires food/drink purchase. Reliable wifi, large space, AC. Great for short-term work.
AlternHIVE — newer, design-focused space in Nimman area. Quiet and good for focused work.
Yellow Coworking — Hipster aesthetic, strong community events, ฿200/day or ฿3,500/month.
Cafe-as-cowork: - Wake Up — laptop-friendly, multiple branches - Roast8ry — newer, fast wifi - Graph Cafe — minimalist, quiet
What to look for: - Air filtration during burning season (Feb–April) - 24/7 access if you work late - Backup internet (Chiang Mai outages happen)
Avoid Nimmanhaemin coworking during peak nomad season (Nov–Feb) without booking — they fill up.
