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.
