7 Chiang Mai Serviced Apartments and Monthly Rentals
Places to settle in, cook and work for a month or longer
A monthly apartment can make Chiang Mai feel like a home base: somewhere to unpack, keep groceries and work without balancing a laptop on the bed. These seven places offer different ways to settle into the city, from affordable studios near Maya to larger apartments with kitchens and separate living areas.
The seven options range from budget studios to larger apartments with separate living areas. Most are serviced-apartment or monthly-accommodation candidates; The Siri is a condominium alternative. Cleaning, linen changes and utilities are not automatically included just because a building offers monthly stays.
Use this guide to compare the space, cooking facilities, internet setup and location that suit your routine. The cheapest room is not always the best value if you need to pay extra for a kitchen, private internet or daily transport.
Choose the area before the apartment
Think about your daily route to food, cafés and a workspace. Chiang Mai has no BTS or MRT system, so a convenient address and a manageable walking route matter.
Nimman and Sirimangkalajarn
The most obvious choice if you want cafés, restaurants and places to work within easy reach. It has a more international crowd and more evening activity than the outlying residential areas. It suits a sociable stay, but bars, traffic and aircraft can make some apartments noisy.
Getting around: Check the walk to Nimman Road, Maya and your chosen co-working space. Being on the Nimman edge can still mean a substantial walk.
Jed Yod
A more local residential base north of the Maya area, with everyday food options and apartments that may cost less than central Nimman. It suits renters who want access to that side of town without living in its busiest streets. Cafés and nightlife are less concentrated; quietness depends on the lane.
Getting around: Map the route to Maya carefully, including major-road crossings. Compare walking with a ride-hailing trip for your regular journeys.
Huay Kaew and Chang Phueak
A broad area with local restaurants, shops and accommodation along busy roads and smaller lanes. It can work for a practical, lower-cost routine, but the address matters more than the neighbourhood label. Expect to travel for some café meet-ups or nights out.
Getting around: Check the exact building entrance and distance to the places you use daily. A room facing Huay Kaew Road may feel very different from one tucked into a side street.
San Phranet and San Sai
An outlying residential option rather than a walkable Nimman base. It suits someone comfortable spending more time at home and travelling for central cafés, co-working and nightlife. A cheaper room can be less attractive once frequent transport is included.
Getting around: Budget for road transport and check nearby groceries. Do not assume a building outside the centre is quiet; inspect the room and surrounding roads.

1.SG Residences (Residence SG)
A lower-cost starting point near Jed Yod and Maya
SG Residences is a useful starting point for a lower-cost stay near the Maya–Nimman area. Furnished rooms and a fitness room make it appealing if you want the basics covered without paying for a larger apartment.
The apartment: The kitchenette is better suited to simple food preparation than regular cooking. Check the exact room’s appliances: a sink and fridge do not necessarily come with a stove. Ask whether a microwave is supplied and whether an induction hob is permitted.
Working from home: Check the desk, chair and internet connection before choosing a room. A recent speed test from inside the apartment is more useful than a general promise of fast Wi-Fi, especially if your work involves video calls.
Location: The Jed Yod setting gives you access to Maya and Nimman without being inside the busiest part of Nimman. Map the walk to the mall and your preferred co-working space, including any major-road crossings.
Before booking: Ask for the current room price, stove policy, internet setup, cleaning schedule and fitness-room access.
2.PT Residence
Budget studios or a larger apartment with cooking space
PT Residence offers a straightforward choice: a lower-cost studio if you mostly eat out, or a larger apartment with cooking space if you want a more complete home setup. The room category makes a substantial difference to both the price and the facilities.
Room prices: The Budget Studio page lists 7,200 THB for April–September and 8,100 THB for October–March. The 40-square-metre one-bedroom lists 12,000 and 13,500 THB for those respective seasons. The 44-square-metre option lists 15,000 THB.
The kitchen: The one-bedroom apartments include a fridge, two-ring electric stove, microwave and utensils. The larger 44-square-metre layout also has a living room and walk-in closet. Check the cheaper studio separately rather than assuming it has the same kitchen equipment.
Internet and bills: Free Wi-Fi is shared, with a private router available for an additional charge. The property’s pages list a 10,000 THB deposit, electricity at 6 THB per unit and water at 100 THB per month. Confirm these charges with your booking.
Before booking: Confirm the room category, seasonal rate, private-internet cost and housekeeping arrangements.
3.The Mirror Serviced Apartments
A separate living area and an electric stove
The Mirror is worth considering if you want a proper separation between sleeping, working and relaxing. Its Type B apartment has a bedroom and living area, plus cooking equipment that makes a longer stay easier.
The apartment: Type B is listed at 40 square metres, with a fridge, two-ring electric stove, microwave and kitchen utensils. There is also a balcony, while the building lists parking, key-card entry and 24-hour security.
Internet: The property says each room has its own modem, although the amenities table also labels Wi-Fi as shared. Clarify the setup for your apartment and request a recent speed test if a dependable connection is essential.
Price and services: The Type B page displays 14,500 THB per month, including weekly cleaning. It lists a 10,000 THB deposit, electricity at 8 THB per unit and water at 150 THB per month. Ask about laundry facilities and any additional service charges.
Before booking: Request a written quote, clarification of the internet setup and confirmation of laundry facilities.
4.The Dome Residence
Compare the suite with the cheaper room categories
The Dome offers several room categories on the Huay Kaew side of town. It is a useful option if you want to compare a simple furnished room with a larger suite, but check the monthly package carefully: the room type and length of stay can change the price considerably.
The apartment: Standard rooms list furniture, air conditioning, a fridge, television, hot shower and private balcony. Suites are the category to investigate for more living space and a kitchenette. Request photographs of the exact room being offered.
Cooking: Confirm whether the kitchen area is inside the apartment or on the balcony, and whether it includes a hob. A kitchenette with a sink and microwave is a different setup from a kitchen you can use to cook daily meals.
Internet and facilities: The official site advertises cable and wireless internet access and a ground-floor fitness centre. Ask whether access, cleaning and linen changes are included in the monthly rate. Monthly prices are available directly from the property.
Before booking: Confirm the lease length behind the quote, kitchen location, cooking equipment and included services.
5.The Greenery Central Suites
Lower advertised rents outside the Nimman area
The Greenery is the outlying option on this list, in San Phranet, San Sai. It suits renters who are comfortable travelling into central Chiang Mai and want to compare larger rooms or lower advertised rents outside the Nimman area.
Price and lease: Advertised monthly rates start around 5,700 THB, with a listing showing smaller 32-square-metre rooms and larger 69-square-metre apartments. Its room table labels the monthly prices as one-year-contract rates. Request a separate quote if you only want a month or two.
The apartment: The larger suites are worth investigating for cooking space, and the official site describes bathtubs in several room categories. Check the kitchen and bathroom in your chosen unit; the lowest-priced room may have a different setup.
Daily life: Work out the cost and convenience of reaching groceries, cafés and co-working spaces. A lower rent may be less attractive if you need frequent rides into town. Check road noise and internet inside the room rather than assuming an outlying location is quieter.
Before booking: Establish the short-stay price first, then confirm the kitchen, bathtub, internet and transport costs.
6.The Siri Condominium
A condominium alternative with a more complete home setup
The Siri is a condominium alternative for renters who want a more complete home setup near Nimman. It is especially worth comparing if cooking and doing laundry at home matter more than finding the lowest monthly rent.
The apartment: Look for a unit with a full cooking setup, washing machine and comfortable workspace. Some apartments may also have a bathtub. Furnishings and appliances vary by owner, so request current photographs and an inventory of the unit you will rent.
Internet: A local property agency describes private fibre-optic internet as available for a supplementary monthly charge. Confirm whether the connection is already active, the speed supplied and whether it is included in your rent.
The building and location: The development has a pool, fitness centre and sauna, with security and key-card access. Its Sirimangkalajarn location puts it near the Nimman area. As a condo rental, cleaning and linen changes depend on the arrangement rather than coming automatically with the room.
Before booking: Confirm minimum lease, current rent, in-unit laundry, bathtub, internet charges and cleaning arrangements.
7.Ban Jed Yod Apartments
A kitchen and workspace worth asking about
Ban Jed Yod is worth asking about if you want an apartment that can serve as both a home and a workplace. The appeal is a practical setup: cooking facilities, space to unpack and a desk with a comfortable chair.
The apartment: Ask which room categories include a hob, fridge, microwave and kitchenware. Check the bathroom and workspace in the actual apartment, as equipment and layouts can differ between rooms.
Internet and everyday extras: Confirm the internet setup and ask whether drinking water is included. For a longer stay, clarify laundry arrangements, cleaning frequency and linen changes as well; these small details make a difference to the routine and total cost.
Location and availability: The Jed Yod address is a residential alternative to staying in central Nimman. Check the route to Maya and any café or co-working space you expect to use regularly. Contact the property with your dates before planning around a particular room.
Before booking: Confirm availability before making plans around it, then verify rent, deposit, internet and kitchen equipment.
Before you book a monthly stay
- Get the right quote: Give your dates and ask for the exact room category, minimum stay, deposit and total move-in payment.
- Clarify the service: Ask how often the room is cleaned, whether linen is changed and whether either costs extra.
- Check the kitchen: Request an appliance list. A kitchenette may mean only a sink and fridge; confirm the hob, utensils and cooking rules.
- Test the internet: Ask whether the connection is shared or private, request a speed test from the room and confirm upload speed if you take video calls.
- Check the workspace: Ask for a photograph of the desk, chair and nearby power sockets.
- Compare the total: Confirm electricity and water charges, internet fees, laundry costs and deposit-return conditions.
- Check the location: Map your daily walks and ask about traffic, bar and aircraft noise before choosing the room.
