I just returned from Chiang Mai at the time of this review. I stayed for a month at Alt_ in November 2023. It’s a great community where everyone is very welcoming, warm and friendly. You get to meet people from all walks of life. The owner John who facilitates the activities and is usually seen around is very down to earth, easygoing and genuinely loves to socialise. The place is kept spotlessly clean. All the staff especially Pae is very nice and helpful. The internet is superfast, reliable and was uninterrupted during my stay. I was able to get all my work done with ease. On some days I would work from my room and some days I would work from the co-working space where many others would be working from. It was a great balance for an ambivert like me. I feel like Alt_ is a perfect introduction to Chiang Mai to the extent that I loved Chiang Mai soo much that I continued to stay in Chiang Mai for upto six months when my plan was initially just a month. Chiang Mai is very developed with modern infrastructure yet you get the feel of a small town. Things are slow paced and it doesn’t feel overcrowded unlike big cities. John has recently opened a new location Alt_ping river which I was invited for a sneak peak and its looks very promising. Looking forward to check out their new location on my next trip to Chiang Mai.
