🏯 This Week's Nomad City: Chiang Mai, Thailand
One of the OGs of the digital nomad world, Chiang Mai is still going strong — and still incredibly affordable.
Why Chiang Mai?
Fast internet, a warm community, low cost of living, and café culture that rivals Melbourne. The Nimmanhaemin area is especially popular for nomads, with endless work-friendly cafés and coworking spots like Punspace.
Cost of Living
You can live well for under $1,000/month. A modern studio: $300–$500. Street food meals? Around $1–2.
Visa Options
Thailand offers a 60-day tourist visa with possible extension. There are also education, special tourist, and long-stay options available — worth exploring if you plan to linger.
Travel & Lifestyle
On weekends, head to jungle waterfalls, mountain temples, or a Thai cooking class. The pace is slower here — in a good way.
