The Mirror

51 Sirimangklajarn Road

The Mirror is a family-owned, 25-unit serviced apartment on Sirimangklajarn Road, built in 2014. It sits steps from Nimman but is tucked away enough that noise is not a problem — multiple long-term residents confirm it avoids the nightclub noise that plagues buildings closer to Nimmanhaemin. Every unit gets its own dedicated WiFi router (confirmed on the official site and in Airbnb listings — each room has "its own modem"), not shared building internet. Weekly cleaning with bed linen replacement is included for monthly tenants; daily cleaning for short-stay guests. The owner, known as Pang, speaks fluent English and is consistently praised across TripAdvisor and Airbnb reviews for being welcoming and responsive. Water is a flat 150 THB/month. The sibling building PT Residence sits right next door under the same management, offering a budget alternative.

Kitchens come equipped with plates, utensils, a two-ring electric stove, fridge, and microwave. Units have LCD flatscreen TVs with Thai and international channels. Coin-operated laundry machines are on-site, and a professional laundry service is 200 meters away. 24/7 security guards, keycard entry, elevator, and complimentary parking round out the amenities. A 7-Eleven is in the building.

“The best-kept secret in Nimman if you can get a unit. Only 25 apartments and they fill up fast. Owner Pang is personally involved and consistently praised by name in reviews — she'll show you around and is genuinely responsive. Each unit gets its own dedicated WiFi router (not shared building internet), which is a real win for remote work. Kitchen is properly equipped: two-ring stove, utensils, fridge, microwave. Weekly cleaning is thorough. The catch: no pool, no gym, 8 THB/unit electricity, and strict rules — 10,000 THB fine for smoking. If you cook, work remotely, and value a responsive landlord over a pool, this is your place.”

What Renters Actually Say

TripAdvisor: 4/5 stars from 9 reviews. Airbnb: 4.9/5 from 65 reviews (across listings). Trip.com: 1 review (negative, see below).

Praise (consistent across platforms):

•"I have lived in Chiang Mai for three years now and the Mirror is hands down the best short/long-term rental I've stayed at" (TripAdvisor, long-term resident)

•"Stayed in The Mirror for 6 weeks. Love the location in Nimman, everywhere required is within walking distance. The apartment is spacious and clean with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable bed" (TripAdvisor)

•"The service from the owners is second to none AND they speak fluent English" (TripAdvisor)

•Owner Pang personally shows guests the best places to eat, drink, and do laundry (multiple TripAdvisor reviews)

•"Big and amazingly comfy beds. I slept great every night" (TripAdvisor)

•One long-term guest spent 6 months total, called it their go-to place, and joked about not writing a review lest rooms become "all sold out"

•Building is "positioned just far enough away from the nightclubs as to not have the nightly noise pollution problem" (TripAdvisor, 6-month resident)

Complaints (the few that exist):

•"Rooms are average and start to look old" (Trip.com, Sept 2022, rated 2/10) — this reviewer also flagged a sign warning tenants not to leave valuables in sight because management is not responsible if cleaning staff takes anything. This is the only strongly negative review found anywhere

•The building is now 10+ years old (built 2014) and some wear is visible in furnishings and towels

•No pool, no gym — you need nearby gyms (several within walking distance)

•More expensive than many nearby serviced apartments, including its own sibling building PT Residence next door

Expat Tips

•Dedicated WiFi router per unit is confirmed — not shared building internet. No speed test data found publicly, but the setup means you are not competing with 24 other units for bandwidth

•Weekly cleaning includes bed linen change; towels changed twice a week

•Owner Pang speaks fluent English and is hands-on — this is a genuine family-run operation, not a faceless management company

•Steps from Nimman; walk to Maya Mall in 10 minutes, night markets nearby, coworking spaces (PunSpace, Mana, Brick, Camp) a few minutes by scooter

•Sirimangklajarn Road is a quieter parallel to Nimmanhaemin — same access, less chaos

•Credit cards accepted for rent but incur a 3% processing surcharge; Paypal also accepted

•Holding deposit of 5,000 THB required to confirm booking (via Paypal or bank transfer); security deposit of 10,000 THB payable at check-in in cash (or Paypal). Multiple currencies accepted for security deposit

•Monthly rent paid in advance. Upon checkout, security deposit is returned minus final utility and water bill

•Strict no-smoking policy — 10,000 THB penalty and immediate eviction

•No parties allowed; no business registration at the address

•Check-in after 2pm; checkout by 11am. Keys available 9:30am-5pm (after-hours by arrangement)

•Cancellation 30+ days out: full refund. Under 30 days: holding deposit forfeited. Early departure: rent forfeited, deposit returned minus last bills

Gotchas

•Only 25 units total — this place fills up, especially in high season. Book well ahead

•No pool, no gym, no onsite fitness of any kind

•Electric at 8 THB/unit metered per dedicated energy meter — expect 1,200-4,000 THB/month depending on AC usage (their own site says 300-1,000 THB/week)

•The 2022 Trip.com review about aging rooms and the valuables warning sign is worth noting — the building is 10+ years old now

•No Reddit or NomadList forum discussions found despite extensive searching — the property flies under the radar of the usual digital nomad recommendation threads

•Max 2 occupants per one-bedroom unit; no subletting allowed

•No business activities may be deployed within the building per their T&Cs
