View Doi Mansion

36 Morakot Road, Chang Phueak, Santitham

View Doi Mansion is Santitham's best-known budget apartment on Morakot Road. Standard rooms start at 5,000 THB/month — among the cheapest livable options near Nimman. Higher floors have stunning Doi Suthep mountain and city views. Two desks per room makes it unexpectedly good for remote work. Water is billed at a flat 200 THB/month.

“Basically the cheapest monthly rental in the area at 5,000 THB. No pool, no gym, nothing fancy. But two desks per room and free WiFi — so if you just need a clean, quiet place to work from and don't care about amenities, it does the job. The rooftop has Doi Suthep views which is a nice bonus. Wouldn't put a couple here though, 28sqm is tight.”
