Beginning at Chiang Mai Guesthouse
CMI was founded. Chinese-speaking people living overseas, digital nomads and travelers from different places lived here, visited, joined activities and shared their stories.
CMI began in Chiang Mai as a community created with and for Chinese-speaking people living overseas. From our beginnings at Chiang Mai Guesthouse, we moved to Mingyue Manor on July 10, 2026, opening a new chapter at CMI Studio.
Connect people,
make things together,
and bring positive change
to our lives and surroundings.
CMI — Connect · Make · Impact — expresses the values and business philosophy of Zebra Zebra Co., Ltd.
CMI was founded. Chinese-speaking people living overseas, digital nomads and travelers from different places lived here, visited, joined activities and shared their stories.
We moved to Mingyue Manor and began a new chapter at CMI Studio. Shared tables, stories, AI and 3D printing give ideas a chance to become things we make together.
ZIHEZIHE · Founder of CMI Community
I want to reshape
the simplest relationships
between people.
I am ZIHE, founder of CMI Community. I love seeing people get to know each other over a meal, a book or something they make together. For me, community grows through time spent together: someone brings an idea, someone shares their experience, and we make it happen. At CMI Studio, I hope to keep room for people from different backgrounds to exchange ideas, experiment and create, with AI and 3D printing as useful everyday tools.
Within our capacity, we freely share local information, experience and connections, helping people arriving in Chiang Mai and living overseas find support and avoid common pitfalls.
Bring your interests, experience and ideas to help shape the community: a place where people participate and support each other.
