I stayed here for a month for about $1500 for a premium room, to me this Coliving was just not worth it. Go to the the Social Club in Chiang Mai as it’s much better.
Pros:
-The people coming through are friendly and pretty awesome over all.
-Workspace is great
Cons:
-No difference between a standard and premium room except a slightly bigger bed. there is no extra furniture and you are paying literally for empty space
-Ants if you are on the first floor
-The staff are lazy, my battery was low on my key code door and they never fixed it until I got locked out. Same problem with the main gate, I was locked out on new years and had to hop a fence.
-Badly designed, the TV and gathering space was in front of people’s rooms. So you can never make too much noise and as a result there is never people to hang out with after dinner to play games or chill.
-So far from everything, you need a motorbike to do anything.
-Greedy, if you book a higher tier room, even if they have lower cost ones they won’t tell you. They want to renew the expensive ones they can’t push out (they could just make those room better so people buy it naturally but they won’t)
-Staff sit behind the desk all day or in the cafe and never interacts with the people staying there. But at the same time, any request takes 4-6 hours get back to you.
The people staying are great but that’s every Coliving. If you want the greediness of a corporate run Coliving without any of the professionalism, stay here.
Edit: Owner tried to character assassinate me because I gave a 2 star honest review, pretty sad response. Characteristic of the lack of professionalism I mentioned. Downgraded to one star.
I stayed here for three months, and overall it was a very meaningful experience for me.
During my first month, I rented a scooter, but from the second month onward, I didn’t feel the need to. There are many local markets, great cafés, and restaurants nearby, all within walking distance, so there’s no need to travel far for daily life. Having a large supermarket like Rimping close by is also a big plus. The kitchen facilities are excellent, so I cooked almost every day.
One honest downside is that it took me some time to fully adjust to the coliving environment. Because of that, I feel a bit sad that I couldn’t take advantage of the community activities as much as I could have.
As with any human interaction, it can be difficult for both guests and staff to feel close right away, especially at the beginning. However, as time passed, I realized how kind, warm, and genuinely lovely the staff are. JJ, Pae, and Pai became incredibly friendly, supportive, and honestly very cute in their own way. I always felt welcomed and cared for.
Looking back, these three months were one of the most intensive periods of personal growth I’ve experienced, living together with people from many different backgrounds. I truly learned a lot, and I would love to come back again.
I stayed at Alt Ping River for three months, and it’s been one of the best community experiences I’ve had as a digital nomad.
What makes Alt truly special is the people you meet. You naturally connect with freelancers, creators, business owners, and remote workers, professions you don’t usually get to work alongside. Being able to co-work, share ideas, and inspire each other in this environment is a rare and fascinating experience.
You can really feel that this space was created by someone who understands the digital nomad lifestyle. The team is always open and responsive, and the staff, and also become my friends, Pae, Pai, JJ, John, Cake, Mod and all other staffs are incredibly kind and supportive, making the space feel like home.
This was my second stay at Alt, and I’ll definitely be back again very soon!🙏❤️
Stayed here in November and can really recommend the place. It's very clean, being cleaned every day. Lots of great people to meet since you're living in the co-working. The co-working area is also great, good chairs, you can sit all day in them, good tables, good air conditioning, so can be a great place to work all day if you need to. Lots of events happenning too, every week and probably almost every day. Super thankful to staff members - JJ, Pai, and Pae. Super helpful with everything and super friendly. Perfect workation in Alt Pingriver, thank you!
Normally, what you are looking for as a coliving & coworkingn space is a place clean, organized and well-structured for comfort and productivity, especially if you are working while travelling or being in digital nomad lifestyle.
In alt, you will have all these as features which makes this place a great option while you want to enjoy beauty of Chiang Mai.
But what makes alt extraordinary is the sense of community you feel from the first day you get there. You see people smiling and greeting you with a smile and open heart.
You see staff which see you beyond being a customer, but as a friend. Anytime I had to deal with an issue, Pae, Pai and JJ were there to do their best to help.
The only challenge I have seen with this place is that it can get addictive, and difficult to say farewell to all those sweet memories you make in this magical place.
Alt is the bridge which connected the heart of me and all those friends I made in this place, a lovely home which act like a home for everyone, no matter who they are and where they are from.
I stayed at alt_pingriver for two weeks this October, and it was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had this year. The place sits right next to the Ping River—quiet, clean, and incredibly peaceful. The location is excellent: it’s close to all the popular spots in Chiang Mai, and the river is just a 2-minute walk away. Late at night, when no one is around, you can sit by the water and enjoy the view—it feels amazing.
The living environment is also fantastic. There are two large accommodation buildings and a spacious shared kitchen. Staying there feels calm and relaxing. There’s also a big lawn where you can work out or just chill. If you're coming for remote work, the shared workspace is amazing—quiet, fully equipped, and very comfortable to use.
What stood out to me the most is that they regularly host all kinds of events: talks for digital nomads in Chiang Mai, industry sharing sessions, group workouts, yoga classes, food nights, and more. You get to meet people from everywhere, which makes the stay even more meaningful.
And, of course, the staff at alt are truly wonderful. They’re incredibly helpful with anything you need and always ready to recommend the best local restaurants and attractions. I especially want to thank Pae, JJ, and Pai for helping me so much during my stay. Whenever I needed anything, they were always there—and they even took us out to explore the city together. They were genuinely thoughtful, and those two weeks ended up being my favorite experience of the year.
Spent 2 months here and it was the best experience ever! The rooms, the staff, the coworking (space and wifi) and the community are amazing. If you're looking for a place to be able to work without loosing the social, this is the place. Is located in a local neighborhood where you have everything you might need close by and is 10 min from the Old Town. I already miss it very much and hope to come back soon!
I loved my time at Alt Ping River. This was my first Coworking/Coliving space and was told numerous times by other nomad veterans that I set the bar high as this is the best one. Great community, great location, great rooms, and fantastic internet/workspaces.
