Wat Ket Riverside
Located along the banks of the Ping River, Wat Ket Riverside holds historical significance as Chiang Mai's original expat hub. Missionaries were granted land here, and the neighborhood is home to Chiang Mai's oldest church. It's a place where traditional shophouses, historic venues, and a vibrant arts, dining, and nightlife coexist. With its rich history and many landmarks, Wat Ket Riverside offers a highly cultural living experience.
Wat Ket Riverside boasts a serene environment but is not typically the top choice for remoters. While there may not be dedicated coworking spaces within the neighborhood, the tranquility along the riverbanks provides a peaceful backdrop for freelancers and digital nomads seeking focus and inspiration.
Wat Ket Riverside offers a mix of older but usually well-maintained high-rise condos and residential houses. It's walkable right along the Ping River but best explored by motorbike due to its spread. Cars may have trouble finding parking.
