As digital nomads, there is surely nothing more frustrating than scouting a whole city to find a quiet place and bang out some solid work.

Oh wait, something even more irritating is probably finding a potential place on Google,head there to line up for their coffee but then figuring out that there is absolutely not enough plugs or worse , the Wi-Fi would be as slow as the old days’ dial-up connections…

Check out our list of work cafes in Bangkok! These cafes hit all of your digital nomad’s needs- they surely got the right combo of great coffee, solid Wi-Fi, and plugs to get stuff done!

Tip: Some of these cafes have protected Wi-Fi connections, all you would have to do is ask for their Wi-Fi password (most of the time, the barista will be pointing for the 100th time to the ‘obvious’ sign on the cash register- awkward we know!)

Note: For this list, we took aesthetics, wifi, charging capabilities and location into account, without forgetting about good coffee!

1. A fancy caffeine experience and inspiring workspace – Starbucks at Central World

Starbucks Thailand has just opened its new coffee house outlet – largest in Thailand, and second largest in the world – on the first floor of CentralWorld, Bangkok!

Given its status as the newly opened and the biggest Starbucks in Thailand, the café can get crowded, especially during weekends. But don’t worry; there’s enough space for everyone!

There are 2 tables with 10 seats, 3 tables with 8 seats, 4 tables with 5 seats and many more. That sounds just right for digital nomads coming in a squad!

Your visit to the store will not be complete without purchasing a drink that comes with your Wi-Fi. Have a taste of Starbucks Draft that come in a few varieties:

– Nitro Cold Brew
– Cold Brew
– Dark Caramel Cold Foam Nitro
– Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew
– Nitro Flat White
– Nitro Caramel Macchiato
– Nitro Peach Tea
– Nitro Green Tea Latte

Nitro-infused drinks are the highlights of the newly opened outlet, and don’t forget to check out some of the store’s top rated bites – such as their tuna melt, muffins, honey toast and cinnamon rolls.

Expect spacious co-working spaces with stunning, glimmering Thai-inspired interiors, and locally hand-painted floral arts on the walls. Look up to the ceiling, and you’ll see art that resembles the natural landscape of coffee-growing terrains in the country.
