Answer

• Chiang Mai offers a low cost of living compared to many Western cities, making it attractive for digital nomads.

• Monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment can range from £150 to £300, depending on the area.

• Food is very affordable, with local meals costing around £1 to £3 at street stalls and markets.

• Co-working spaces typically charge between £30 to £100 per month for membership, depending on the facilities.

• Public transport is inexpensive, with songthaews (shared taxis) and tuk-tuks available for short journeys.

Practical Chiang Mai planning note: Look at the qualifications, safeguarding, facilities, language support and suitability for your own health or family needs. A pleasant online description is not a substitute for checking the current programme and speaking directly with the provider. Prices and fares change, so request the current amount before committing.
