At 32 months in Chiang Mai, I have to mention weekend trips to Pai, Mae Hong Son, Chiang Rai, Chiang Dao, Fang, Tak, Mae Seriang, Khun Kahm, Mae Sai, and the entire Mae Sa valley out to Samoeng are great. The south beaches are splendid, too, I like Krabi best.

I hope you find your tempo again soon mate. These last two updates really sound like your heart isn't in any of it any more but you don't know what else to do. I understand you have been on the road for a long time now and I can see even for myself, 245 days in, that each new flight I feel more are home and in time I can see that it will be absorbed onto a daily life experience rather than something crazy new. I guess you seem to feel pressure to do new things, but your content reviewing places like coffee shops and workspaces is invaluable. It made a huge impact on me working up the courage to book that first plane ticket to start my dn journey. There is mjs space in the city coworking that you could have covered. There is another one over on nimmen. I would have liked content on nimmen one as it was still being built when I was there last year. The videos of coffeeshops are great, it endorses the place and gives me confidence that I am welcome to work there. It might be grunt work to you now creatively but it is still welcome to your audience. The tone of your last two videos has struck me as a combination of you being a bit bored and looking for a spark and also a bit self conscious of doing what you did before like we demand new ideas. I think it's a classic problem, like for bands the first album they just go for it with nothing to prove and make it big and now they come back to write a second album and it's hard to recapture what you did first now you have a spotlight on the details? Before it was just see if it works, now its trying to figure out what worked. I guess what I am saying is I want to see more content and more of what you have done previously is most welcome, interspersed with what ever creative ideas you have as you have them.

Two years living in Chiang mai... It's alaways amazing there. Every single day there is something to do there.

Great video man. Been following you for 2 years now. Love your channel. Your channel was one of the reasons i started making videos out of the deep south of Thailand. Hope to grab a coffee with u one day

Thank you for sharing! This is interesting! Things and people change.

Yes mate. I love the talking videos! Very nostalgic for me seeing Chiang Mai on your vids. I lived there for many months on and off over the last 4 years. Hopefully I'll catch you in Bali soon! I'm looking forward to more chatting videos coming up :)

It was awesome to meet up with you too dude. You're by far the best DM channel and your new ventures are gonna be epic and we will follow you and support everything you do. Keeping smashing it 😊😊😊

Thank you for opening my eyes to this wonderful place!

Super excited to watch you develop as a creator dude, you're an inspiration! Keep those instabangers coming ;)

Wow, I love Chiangmai. I will return again one day!!!

Just got back from Thailand, was in Chiang Mai for just 3 days... Me and my wife want to go back ASAP!

I've traced similar steps, both Chiang Mai and Bali. I like both ... one tip for Bali, beware of people on the street approaching you and offering drugs, they are most likely to setting you up for arrest by the cops, and then a very expensive extortion begins. Say no thanks and keep walking.

The pollution at a certain time would turn me off. I do love Singapore, but it is too expensive, so I will investigate Johor Bahru,since it is close to Singapore. I am retired, so working days are over. Happy to be 75. I went to Bali for 60 days

Great stuff, happy to see you are developing in new creative avenues.

It was cool to bump into you randomly during Songkran! Keep up the good work man :)

I was there a few weeks ago and the air was still crappy....It looks really clear there now :)

cool guy - I love Chiang Mai!

Anything up to 10mins Chris. Anything over that and I don't bother. This video probably could have been shorter around 4-5 is sufficient for an update. Not been to CM or Bali yet so good to see.

Nice to see you again bro. I liked your new equipment. GH5 is awesome bro!

Great to hear your update re. Chiang Mai. I’m definitely keen to spend more time in CM as a tried, trusted, comfortable and affordable city. But I completely resonate with your feelings of wanting something new and exciting. I’ve also come to realize that quality of life heavily depends on the people that you surround yourself with. Going forward I’d also love to connect with more creative individuals working on unique projects. Heading to Berlin for Jun, Jul & Aug 2018. Will be good to see what that will be like. What are you looking forward to in Bali?

Chris and everyone here, I've just gotten the thumbs up from my boss to work remotely, and I'd like to ask if there are any Facebook groups you would recommend joining that pertain to working from a laptop in the U.S. Not quite ready to go to a place like Chiang Mai. Yet. I'm looking for some tips on things like long-term lodging, i.e., long-term Airbnb stays, (6-9 months), apartments, condo rentals, etc. Thanks in advance for any and all help, and thank you for providing awesome content.

damn i wish we crossed paths in chiang mai crazy your one of the reason i was inspired too go there and you where that at the same time as me

Great video update. I absolutely love Chiang Mai (my home away from home.) Are you in Bali now? I'll be filming down there starting end of this month!

Hey Chris, nobody in the nomad community talks about where to store your valuables or documents. Maybe you can do a video about that? Can you leave valuables in serviced rooms? Do they have safes? are there safe deposit box services in town? How about paper documents? what if you don't have a family back home and you need to carry or at least store your own docs?

Good luck in Bali. Always good seeing your VLogs. Thanx

nice work with your Skillshare courses! I remember Bali had amazing scenery, especially Ubud, looking forward to the videos on the other channel as well.

Love your video. Looking forward to more of your work!

Yeah, I was in CM for one month the second time and it is very cool... But limited in lasting novelty somehow. Yes I like the format of talking freely and authentically rather than edits.

Great thoughts Chris.

We loved our mall adventures ( ha, don't tell anyone that we were at the mall so much ) !

Great video, I feel like alot of youtubers are moving to canggu bali. If your going to be free, nomadic, whatever how long can you resist living by a beach ;)

You do a great job of reviewing co-work & living spaces for digital nomads. There are so many places around the world now that nomad communities are popping up on each continent. It'd be awesome if you checked them out & continue to collab with other nomad KZfaqrs.

Oops, we missed each other then as I moved here 5 weeks ago. I didn't know. I'm out near Promenada Mall if you're still around and I could travel to you. If not, all the best for your future travels.

How bad is the Burning Season in Chiang Mai?

CM as expensive as ever! Oh no I'm off there next month, haha good stuff mate. Cheers.

Great video, Chris! Thanks always for sharing your travel and work experience with us.

All the best in Bali mate!

Really like the unscripted life update

Can't wait to see what you create in Bali Chris!

What is this guy going on about? Bali sounds like the place you should go and create something.

Hey man, what happened to the WordPress course video you uploaded yesterday?

can you give some advice as I am looking at spending 12 months or longer travelling & looking for ways to make money online, I am considering teaching english online, have limited IT skills, where should i start?

Could you please say who is that girl on 05:04 ? :)

Hey Chris, Love your content. Please come to India sometime 😃😃😃

Mike Vestil lives there too. Can you do a collaboration?

Spent time in Chiang Mai and surrounding area's, love Mai Hong Son and Chiang Saen . Giving info about places to eat and things to do is a plus for me and you do that, lots of people don't. I'm always planning years ahead and the snippets are put into evernote so don't think what you're saying goes to waste. Find out what the locals love doing, often I'd be standing on the footbridge at the start of the runway with locals, those planes came in so low, that would of been good in your video rather than standing in one spot watching the plane fly over. goo.gl/maps/oXWp5i3FYd12

How about a vid on the moat rats of Chiang Mai? They feed of the garbage every night before it's picked up!

Can't wait to get back to Chiang Mai

Bali is over rated. Many places in bali have perfect social media photoes, but when people travel to the actual sites, and find out they are not that picture-alike ,and in much small scale, real life scam

Chris, you seem like a nice guy and im sure you are but Niemann is not Chiang Mai. I live here and Niemann is not my favourite place. It's an expat hub and it has little to do with Thailand or the Thai people. Other then a good burger restaurant there is no there there.

Denise looked different somehow and was sorta flirtive with your badboy hangaround....:-).....sup wid dat, Chris?.....:-)

Odessa Ukraine - PLEASE! Cheaper than Thailand :)

Thailand is better than Bali imo. Bali sold out to Australians and is just one big booze up. U only c the balinese when they r serving u food or as a tour guide and the infrastructure is not as good. Rents r more expensive and cell phone is far more expensive and not near as good as thailand but booze is far cheaper in bali and there r alot of European foods available there. Bali people r not as welcoming but tha may b because their goverment sold it out and tge bali 1% take all profit and unlike Thailand, the balinese see little benefit.

Unscripted is nice And more efficient. Content over script... imo

I suppose it's the last time for Chris in Chiang Mai... Good luck old friend!

Chiang Mai more pollution In the air than Bangkok! Why live there?

Epic Fail Gh5 Focus :(

You're far from being a 'Creator' by just standing in front of a camera and waffling on!

Love your video. Looking forward to more of your work!
