Free coworking space in District 1 Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
When I lived in Manhattan last year, I used to frequent a few coworking spaces in the city. None of which was free except one called Wix Lounge. It became my regular hangout spot where I could code, drink free coffee, enjoy their fast speed internet and comfy sofa. It was also a place where I met, talked and occasionally brainstormed with like-minded people, which kept me rejuvenated as I continued working on my startup.
I m in Saigon now and I want to pay it forward by making my own office a coworking space. If you are a software developer or working on a creative project here in Saigon, please leave a comment below telling me a little bit about yourself and I ll send you an invite.
Below is a picture of the office. Note that all the books have been moved upstairs.
Hello,
My name is Fred, I’m a Ruby on Rails freelancer. I’m in Ho Chi Minh city at the present time.
I’m working a few days a months while travelling Vietnam & SE Asia, and I’m gonna work for the next few days.
At the moment I’m staying in bars with WiFi to work, but the music is unfortunately often bad & loud.
Your place seems to be a really nice place to work in, and it’s always interesting to meet & speak with people doing more or less the same stuffs as me or having the same way of life.
I hope I’ll see u soon.
Fred

Hi dat,
I’m living in Phnom Penh for the year with my partner who is doing Ph.D research. I’m working on freelance web development projects based in the U.S., and also volunteering with a local group of Khmer IT students. I’m visiting Ho Chi for the first time, and did a search for co-working spaces – your site came up. I’m really impressed with the office and would be interested in dropping in to do some work while I’m here this week if it’s not too much trouble.
Best,
Ben
