    About The Social Club

    The Social Club is a coliving and coworking space located in the heart of Chiang Mai's Old City, designed specifically for digital nomads. The space offers private rooms with balconies and 24/7 coworking access, combining everything needed for remote work with a vibrant community fostering meaningful connections through daily social events, family dinners, and group activities.

    Origin story

    The founders created The Social Club based on their combined 12+ years of travel experience in over 50 countries. Drawing from their own travel and coliving experiences, they designed TSC to bring together everything they loved about coliving and coworking, while adding the things they always wanted. The space was built from experience, incorporating lessons learned from staying in colivings across Europe and adapting them for Thailand's affordability, allowing them to offer more comfort without the typical price tag.

    Community philosophy

    The Social Club operates on a philosophy of shared experiences and genuine community building. Over 1,000 members have helped shape the space through their ideas, feedback, and advice, making it what it is today. The community emphasizes that when you're here, your voice matters too - encouraging residents to jump into conversations, share thoughts, and help evolve the TSC experience together.

    The space fosters connections through daily social events including BBQs, happy hours, game nights, day trips, and community dinners. All events are free except for outside activities, where residents simply cover their own costs. The founders never make money or charge extra for any events, maintaining the authentic community spirit.

    The philosophy extends to creating a well-planned coliving space that feels like a giant space for residents' use and enjoyment, where the private room is just part of the areas used every day - serving as office, gym, social club, restaurant, and coffee shop all in one neighborhood where everyone lives together and knows each other.
