If you’re looking for a trendy, intimate cafe to work in Chiang Mai, head to Artisan Cafe. We’re captivated by its industrial, vintage-inspired decor, filled with antique furniture and objects. This coffee shop offers free, fairly fast Wi-Fi.

Work comfortably on one of the leather sofas or settle in at a large wooden table if you prefer a more studious atmosphere. Take a break to enjoy excellent coffee paired with pastries and other treats.

3. CAMP

Looking for a spot where you’re sure to find space to work during your stay in Chiang Mai? Head to CAMP, a coworking space created by AIS, one of Thailand’s major telecommunications providers. Located on the top floor of Maya Mall, it offers various workspaces (open spaces with individual or shared tables, private offices, and rentable meeting rooms) with outlets in every area.

Order a coffee, drink, or food to enjoy two hours of free Wi-Fi, or consider getting a local SIM card. The benefit of CAMP? It’s open 24/7! The snack options are limited and the food isn’t the best, so we recommend eating outside.
