🏨 has short staysFine for a workation, but significant turnover works against coliving principles for a cohesive community; a longer minimum stay supports better interactions. What is coliving?

I stayed in Alt_PingRiver for a month. Originally I planned to stay for two weeks and work from there, but I extended as I didn’t want to leave.
I loved the team that runs the place - JJ, Ploy, Ampere and Amy are amazingly lovely.
I enjoyed the vibe, the events and the community.
Sompor and John, the co-owners really founded a beautiful combination of co-working, co-living and community.
I plan to stay there every time I’m in chiang mai.
My week at Alt_PingRiver was amazing! I'm full of so many good memories. I felt welcomed from day 1, had countless beautiful interactions with friendly like-hearted people, felt supported and focused during work hours, had some fun adventures in the city and nature nearby, and even felt those cozy wholesome Community vibes during a spontaneous movie night on my last evening. I can't recommend this place highly enough, and I look forward to spending more time here in the future. DO check it out if you're a digital nomad in SE Asia. Alt_ is a rare and precious Gem. ✨🏠✨
My only sadness was that there weren't more people around when I stayed here (early March 2025) — everyone was leaving due to the anticipated agricultural burning affecting the air, which wasn't nearly as bad yet as I'd been led to believe. But the space has TONS of air filters and air quality monitors. I breathed easy.
I came to Alt_Ping River in early December and checked out in February. It is easily among my favourite coliving spaces globally. It is a thoughtfully-designed property with nice rooms, common spaces to socialise/lounge in, a spacious kitchen, a cafe, sauna/cold plunge area, and a big coworking space with dedicated call rooms in the basement.
The location itself is great, away from the tourist hotspots, making it easier for slow travelers to get familiar with the local way of life. Right outside Alt, there are two family-run restaurants and a cafe that serve delicious, inexpensive meals. There are a few good bars, less than five minutes away by foot and a slightly longer walk leads to a nice food market (it has a Michelin-recommended khao soi place).
The Alt staff are very professional and friendly. The community there is top notch. From hikes to temple tours to cultural immersion, I had the best time with the travelers I met there. Big credit to John and his team. I can't wait to be back.
I had a wonderful few weeks at Alt Ping River! Highly recommend.
First off, the community aspect is something that thrives due to intention. Every Monday, residents have an opportunity to plan/host an event for the week during the family meeting. Shout out to Amy, AP, and Sunil who help cultivate this!
The whole facility has great WiFi speed and is very clean due to the great staff onsite. The location is perfect for digital nomads. Away from the hustle and bustle during the week with everything you need still nearby and the city a quick Grab away.
The price is up there and this place is definitely oriented toward digital nomads working abroad. That being said, I thought it was worth it as everything otherwise was perfect!
This was my first experience staying in a co-living and co-working space, and I highly recommend Alt_PingRiver. I thoroughly enjoyed my 9-night stay here. The room was spotless, and both the working and open spaces were spacious and comfortable. The staff—Gee, AP, and Amy—were incredibly kind and welcoming, making me feel right at home. What stood out even more was the wonderful sense of community; the people here are truly lovely. If I return to Chiang Mai, I would definitely stay here again—perhaps for even longer! I’d also love to check out any new locations they open in the future.
I was here for a week and I have nothing to complaint. Well, maybe there's one, which is the wardrobe for clothes are so industrial... I feel like I need bigger / more storage to put my clothes. But, that's my one specific problem being a woman with lots of clothes 😅 The coworking, the cafe, the pantry, the people like AP, Ammy and also the fellow digital nomad, Jamie, Car Way, Alex, Charlie, Paloma, Rocko, Nisram/Niram, Netaji/Raj... Anyway, good luck guys!
I don't take so much pictures because I enjoyed the stay so much and only this photo of me and AP during check out!
Alt is like your home away from home. Full of friendly faces and those really focused on their work so the atmosphere is warm and dialed in so you can actually get work done. AP and Amy are the best! They go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need and full of smiles when you see them around the property. Like how many co-working and co-living spaces have a weekly "family meeting"?! And it's all geared towards creating connections and fun events to further grow the community. If Chiang Mai is a destination that you have been looking at and a co-working and co-living space appeals to you, Alt_PingRiver is the place to be :)
