The best co-working spaces in Bangkok for remote working

Bangkok is a city that encourages modern work environments. At any time of day or evening, cafes are full of creatives working freelance gigs or pursuing passion projects as they sip their oat lattes. The city is also buzzing with co-working spaces for remote workers, start-ups, and small business owners. Co-working spaces and work-friendly cafes are available in nearly every downtown district and they each have a distinct clientele and personality.

Where to work from in Bangkok

For bookish types, a co-working space in an old residential building with a library might appeal (as would access to Bangkok’s eclectic selection of museums and galleries), but many small business owners might prefer a space downtown that provides an array of onsite services, ranging from meeting rooms to a rooftop bar. Start-ups and tech types will discover well designed, modern co-working addresses with spaces perfect for meeting with clients. There’s even one with drafting tables to appeal to artists and designers.

For more casual work, the city’s cafe culture offers something for everyone, and according to our local’s guide to Bangkok, a weekend spent café hopping is about as Bangkokian as you can get. From kawaii and character-themed cafes serving pastel-hued drinks to minimalist outposts for the most serious coffee connoisseurs, you’ll find a java shop that gets your creative juices flowing.

Take a look at our top choices for the best co-working spaces across Bangkok, split by neighbourhood.

Mid-Sukhumvit

Draftboard

Best for: Workers that want to be in the heart of the Central Business District
Location: 26 Chitlom Alley, Chitlom, Bangkok 10330
Price: Starting at 300 THB per day

With a much homelier and more rustic feel than the other entries, this co-working space is outfitted predominantly in wood, from the panelling on the walls to the substantial desks and the barn-style doors. Draftboard aims at attracting freelance artists and designers, with a creative space, photo studio and large production printers on-site. Engineers, architects and graphic designers will rejoice when they see the large desks for accommodating their plans and drawings.

Piccolo

Best for: excellent coffee and a laidback, creative setting
Where: 45, 1 Soi Sukhumvit 31, Khlong Toei Nuea, Watthana

Piccolo Vicolo is a coffee shop that forms part of Galile Oasis, an arts and community hub and boutique hotel in the regenerated Ratchathewi neighborhood, which also houses a gallery and theatre. It is tucked down Wat Phraya Yang alley, hence the name, which translates from Italian to ‘small alley’. The open space is filled with verdant plants and vintage furniture for a laidback, laptop-friendly setting, where freelancers will feel right at home.

It’s a welcoming and friendly space, with great facilities for work and play, including a rooftop bar and a spa. Though you can meet members from all sorts of industries here, it seems to attract owners of smaller businesses that don’t require their own office. They also have a second Bangkok branch in Phra Kanong.

Venturing further inside, visitors discover a juice bar and bookstore specialising in rare, out-of-print books and coffee table tomes. It is a great place to get inspired, take a quick work break, or recuperate behind a large volume after a particularly stressful Zoom call.

The House is decorated with works by Thai artists, while bespoke patterns and finishes were created in collaboration with local craftsmen. Watch our tour of Soho House Bangkok here.
