$215 Condo Tour In Chiang Mai Thailand
Рет қаралды 12,856
Жыл бұрынI've been looking at this new condominium building for a long time, so today I thought I would go and take a look. Ping Condo Plus has been open for a while but many of the rooms are brand new and have never been lived in. I was really impressed with the room and the cheap price of the rent. I think this Chiang Mai Thailand condo is a great option.

I liked the concept of the bigger room having a seperate section as a living room, but not sure on the extra 4,500 markup just for that. And im with you Wayne, the separate shower is a MUST for me. Ive stayed at hotels in Thailand without the screen and getting the entire washroom floor wet just drives me up the wall.

Enjoyed watching the Pai trip Wayne thanks for sharing that great little marathon with us. Pai is now definitely on my bucket list. And as mentioned before now you have loosewheel you can get out to other interesting places like that. Not too sure about riding her to Chiang Rai though. That would depend on just how much torture you are prepared to put the arse through. A bigger bike with a built in armchair maybe? These condo tours are sure to be a hit with those looking for somewhere to stay long term including yours truly in the not too distant future. This modern one is what i will be looking for and at least it has a gym this time compared to the wasted space on the rooftop across the road. 7,500baht for 32 sq/m is quite good but i thought 12,000 was a little steep for the bigger one. Nice and very informative non the less and thanks for sharing. Staying strapped in for more amazing adventure yet to come. 👍
@WalkAboutWayne Жыл бұрын
Nice one Stuart, i had a great time in Pai and enjoyed doing that series. I will be doing more soon. Chiang Rai on Lucille is fine, not to far with a couple stop off's. Hope the vlogs can help. Yes, i agree, that rooftop would have made a great gym. Thanks Stuart.

Thanks as always, Wayne. Your nice, easy style is always enjoyable. I've seen several of your condo tours, and I am always surprised there is no cooktop/stove. Not even a one or two burner. Is it common to not have a cooktop? They only have sinks and maybe a microwave it seems.

Talking about the WiFi. My daughter was teaching in Bangkok and her apartment didn't have free WiFi, but she found she could use her phones hotspot to stream films on her smart TV, no problem. Her monthly phone bill was about £12 for unlimited calls, text and data! No point to pay for WiFi as well!

Also, you need to check the AC for efficiency rating. If the AC has an EER/SEER of about 23, then it's OK. The problem is that many or most ACs have an EER of about 12. So this means, you will be paying DOUBLE for the amount of cooling you get. Then, if they charge you 9 Baht per kWh, this becomes a huge ripoff. The power cost should be no more than 6 Bhat per hour. And the EEER needs to be 23. Otherwise, you are getting soaked. (Government rate for power is good. Also, it is now the law, in fact.) The new Daikin ACs might be high efficiency, too.

Law won't stop buildings charging more for electric though. Interesting about the AC 👍
