Having secured a visa for India, I have been happy to stay put in Chiang Mai, get some hours in for work and hang out with the large remote workers community that calls Chiang Mai home.
If there is one thing I love about Chiang Mai, it is the cafes. There are cafes everywhere, which as a caffeine fiend from Melbourne, it is probably why I am feeling at home here (that, and the $1 (approx) sticky rice and mango carts). From the side of the road street vendors to big chains, and everything in between. Most cafes have free wi-fi as standard. It’s a remote workers paradise I tell you.
On fridays my location independent associates meet up for lunch at Free Bird Cafe, which is a non-profit organization helping Burmese refugees.
When I first saw the building I knew I was going to love this place. Look at this building, it is so warm and inviting.

If you are heading to Chiang Mai, drop by and say hello.
Thanks James for taking the time to highlight our fav. cafe here in CM.
…and thanks for taking me there. I may not have discovered it otherwise.
I knew I recognized it! I remembered it from a post a while ago on GotPassport. Really glad you put this up – i didn’t know there was such a big cafe vibe here and I can’t wait to go now.
Wow, we need more places like this in the U.S.
I’ve been, it’s nice, quaint and quiet!
Looks like a great place! I’m heading to Chiang Mai tonight and will check this place out!
