10 Cafes to Work From in Phuket
In the age of digital nomads, Phuket has become one of the most popular destinations. The island is full of remote workers who operate from anywhere and everywhere. If your main work tools — laptop, tablet, or smartphone — are always with you, then this list of cafés in Phuket where you can both eat and work will definitely come in handy. These spots offer good Wi-Fi, power outlets, comfortable seating, and a calm atmosphere.
1. Dreamilycoffeebar, Bang Tao
A great place if you need to work in peace and quiet. Its cozy, intimate vibe is perfect for focusing, even though the café is located on the ground floor of a hostel.
Dreamilycoffeebar serves excellent coffee — both classic and signature options. So if your brain only kicks in after a serious dose of caffeine, this is the spot for you. Bonus: there’s a sweet and friendly dog on-site, perfect for stress relief after a tough work call.
2. Slow Thrive coffee house, Phuket Town
A cafe for creative minds and lovers of “morning magic.” Here, you can start your day slowly and then get to work — there are plenty of power outlets. During breaks, take a moment to admire the artwork on the walls and enjoy a delicious, beautifully plated lunch — the presentation at Slow Thrive Coffee House is a real wow, Pinterest users will approve. And the coffee? Truly top-notch, in the best traditions of specialty cafés: you can choose your own beans, roast level, and blend.
3. Wake Cup Coffee and Tea, Пхукет таун
If you have trouble waking up in the morning, head to this cafe — its vibrant orange interior leaves you no choice but to perk up. Another boost of energy comes from the good coffee and hearty breakfast. And if you’re stuck with deadlines and working late, Wake Cup Coffee and Tea has you covered with lunch and dinner too.
4. Coffee Talk Old Phuket Town, Phuket Town (gео)
A cafe in Phuket Old Town with plenty of quiet, secluded tables and reliable Wi-Fi. Inside, it’s cool and peaceful — the perfect environment to focus on work without distractions. And you won’t go hungry: the menu features desserts, all-day breakfasts (both healthy and indulgent), and specialty coffee, where you can choose the beans and roast level yourself.
5. Hiw Peek Cafe & Restaurant, Chalong
An art cafe and restaurant set in a picturesque location, perfect for working in peace. There’s even a dedicated coworking area and a conference room equipped with Wi-Fi, a LED SMART TV, and a microphone — so you can easily host an offline meeting at Hiw Peek Cafe & Restaurant as well.
The menu offers the full richness of Thai cuisine, a few European options, vegetarian dishes, and desserts. In the evening, however, things shift — karaoke sessions may begin, so after 6 PM it’s better to relax than work. As they say, it’s all about maintaining that work-life balance!
6. Flamingo, Panwa
At this cafe, you’re not just here to eat and work — you get a true aesthetic experience in the process. The interior design combined with its amazing location makes it the perfect spot for photos that look straight out of Pinterest. There’s also a coworking area, ideal for those who are most productive with a beautiful view (or who want to make their followers jealous while they’re stuck in gray-walled offices).
The menu at Flamingo features both Thai and Western dishes: burgers and sandwiches, pad thai and satay, ribeye and risotto, sushi, salads, pizza, and desserts — something for every taste.
7. CHACHA Tea & Co-working Space, Phuket Town (gео)
A cute cafe with all the essentials for working on your laptop. The menu includes bubble tea, a wide selection of iced teas with various toppings, coffee, and Hong Kong-style waffles with different fillings.
The cafe’s bright interior is sure to lift your mood. The menu is definitely geared toward those with a sweet tooth, but the good news is it won’t hurt your wallet — prices here are very affordable.
8. Bigboss work green brunch, Phuket Town (gео)
A cafe with a coworking space on the second floor, perfect for getting some work done. The background music is subtle and doesn’t distract or interfere with focus. The only downside is the seating — the chairs aren’t the most comfortable, and not everyone can sit on hard surfaces for long.
The menu is varied: build-your-own breakfasts, sandwiches, main dishes like salads, steaks, pasta, and more. Drinks include coffee, tea, fresh juices, and natural energy boosters — a must-try for anyone in need of a pick-me-up.
9. Denz Co-Workong Cafe, Kathu (gео)
A peaceful spot located on a hilltop with panoramic views of the jungle and stunning sunsets — the perfect reward at the end of a workday. It offers comfortable workstations, ultra-fast internet, access to various types of monitors, and a tasty menu — everything you need for a productive work session. As a bonus, a few friendly French bulldogs “work” at the café as live stress relievers and are always happy to hang out with visitors.
The menu features refreshing fresh juices, coffee, sandwiches, bowls, and Thai classics — there’s something for everyone.
10. Sunhouse Co-Working and cafe, Karon
A cozy cafe with a small coworking area where you can work in a peaceful, intimate setting. You can choose a spot on either the first or second floor. Coworking access is charged separately.
It’s nice that visitors always have unlimited access to water, tea, coffee, and snacks. The menu includes drinks, protein-based treats, and desserts. For those watching their figure, a big plus is that any drink can be ordered with reduced sugar — or no sugar at all.
