About Hub 53 Coliving

Hub53 is a coworking and coliving space in Chiang Mai, Thailand, designed for international travelers, digital nomads, and location-independent entrepreneurs. Located between Maya Mall and Chiang Mai University in the Nimman area, it serves as a gathering spot, a home, and a community — hosting startup founders, affiliate marketers, travel bloggers, videographers, writers, and app developers. Private and family rooms foster a close-knit atmosphere, with common areas, a shared kitchen, and 24-hour coworking access.

Origin story

Hub53 was inspired by the digital nomads, travelers, and location-independent entrepreneurs who visit Chiang Mai every year. They discovered what those who call this magical city home already know — that it has a special energy that helps people create a lifestyle built around happiness.

Inspired by this movement, founder Natika Prakobboon created a special place that would be a gathering spot, a coworking space, a home, and a community.

Community philosophy

Hub53 aims to be more than a workspace — it is a place where like-minded individuals can meet, collaborate, and socialize. The common area is a popular space where residents eat meals together, meet new arrivals, and unwind after a hard day's work.

Beyond coworking and coliving, Hub53 contributes its space to a colearning environment, hosting workshops every Saturday and Sunday for those who wish to share their knowledge with the Chiang Mai community. Hub53 wants its space to be a hub for entrepreneurs who share their experience and learn from others, offering membership discounts to those who facilitate workshops on topics relevant to online entrepreneurs.
