One month in Chiang Mai without a long lease

Places that rent for one month

28 nights or 30 nights

Not every "month" is the same length. The Social Club prices its rooms per 28 nights. Hub53 offers monthly (30-day) rates from March to September and only weekly rates from October to February, with 28 nights from 16,800 ฿. Vanilla Residence counts a month as 30 nights but accepts 28 on request. If your flight dates are fixed, say the exact nights when you ask.

Less than a month

Two places work for shorter stays. Yantarasri at Nimman charges 9,750 ฿ for up to 15 nights and 19,500 ฿ for 16 to 30 nights, with water, electricity and Wi-Fi included. The Pacific Cool Chic has a daily rate of 650 ฿ a night for its Deluxe rooms; the owner also quoted a one-month contract at 8,900 ฿ in October 2026, so confirm the minimum stay when you ask.

Where a longer stay is needed

Ruean Rampha has a minimum lease of 6 months, and The Greenery Landmark is cheaper on longer contracts; its 6,400 ฿ offer was for a November or December move-in. If you already know you will stay half a year, these are worth a look. For a single month, stick to the places above.

No contract does not mean no paperwork

Even for a month you will usually sign a short rental form and show your passport. Thai law asks landlords to report foreign guests to immigration (the TM30 notification), and hotels and apartments do this for you. Most places also take a deposit; Yantarasri at Nimman and The Social Club are exceptions. See deposits and move-in costs for every place.

Booking one month direct

Booking sites often have no monthly rate at all, so a month there is priced night by night. Several places above are much cheaper when you message them directly; the details are in booking direct vs Booking.com. Ask for the monthly rate, the deposit, the electricity rate and the exact dates, and get the answer in writing before you send money.

Pick the month you want

For walking-distance temples and quiet lanes, look at the Old City places. For cafés and coworking, Nimman. For a desk downstairs from your room, see coworking and coliving. Whatever you pick, a single month is enough to find your morning market, your noodle stall and your favourite view of Doi Suthep.
