Practically hidden right in the middle of Chiang Mai, Suan Dok is a hidden gem nestled between Nimman, the Old City, and the Canal Road (Suthep). Dominated by the serene Suan Dok Temple, this charming neighborhood offers a peaceful retreat with its mix of residential houses and modern condos tucked away in its quiet streets. Its strategic location provides residents with the best of both worlds: the vibrant energy of Nimman, the historical allure of the Old City, and the lush green surroundings of Suthep. Suan Dok strikes a harmonious balance between urban convenience and natural beauty, making it an attractive choice for those seeking a tranquil yet well-connected neighborhood in Chiang Mai.
Nearby Nimman and the Old City are your best options for nearby coworking, but within this small neighborhood, you also have places like the Barn Eatery and Cafe, which are very coworking-friendly.
Suan Dok boasts a diverse range of housing options, from modern condominiums to traditional-style homes. Keep in mind that Suan Dok is right below the airport’s flight path, so it can be noisy with take-offs and landings.
