Need an excuse for a working holiday? Launched this month, Simple Space (Fifth Avenue, 555/16 Chiang Mai-Prao Rd. 095-448-7892. fb.com/simplespace.in.th) is a new addition to Chiang Mai's growing co-working scene.

This mix of black metal and floor-to-ceiling curved mirrors offers meeting rooms (B150/hour), seminar rooms (B280/hour) and studio spaces (B100/hour) for freelancers, creatives and entrepreneurs. Monthly hot desk packages start from B990/month, which comes with 10 complimentary drinks. 

The cafe bites are another highlight, with beautifully presented comfort dishes like krapao gai (B59), stir-fried squid with salty egg (B79) and spaghetti black ink shrimp (B109). On top of the usual coffees and tea offerings, we recommend their velvety hot chocolate with toasted marshmallows (B99) and the Instagram-worthy, decadent chocolate caramel dome (B129). Need more brain food? Opt for one of the cold-press juices (B119), instead. 

They'll also be making a pop-up appearance at the latest outdoor gathering Ping Fai Festival from Dec 25-Jan3, 4pm through midnight.
