Long-Stay Rentals in Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai is Thailand's northern capital and home to one of Asia's most established digital-nomad communities. Cooler temperatures, lower rents than Bangkok (studios from 8,000 THB/month), and a walkable creative district in Nimman make it a top-ranked base for remote workers seeking a furnished long-stay.
