Adjacent to Nimmanhaemin and just northwest of the Old City lies Santitham, an up-and-coming area popular among digital nomads for its affordability and authentic Thai-ness. With multi-story shophouses lining its streets, Santitham exudes a vibrant atmosphere. While affordable living costs attract both local Thais and visitors, modern condos and coworking spaces cater to international standards.
Santitham offers a range of coworking spaces to choose from. Ombra Cafe and Akha Ama are known for providing excellent work environments. For a more comprehensive coworking experience, One Coworking, bordering Santitham and Chang Puak, offers a well-rounded set of amenities.
Santitham predominantly features multi-story shophouses converted into cafes and restaurants, making it ideal for those seeking affordable and quaint living. Houses are scarce, but there are some great condos in this neighborhood, like D Vieng. It’s walkable, but a motorbike is recommended for greater convenience.
