Nice place! We were also got lucky enough to find a very nice 1 bedroom off Chang Klan area, in Chiang Mai (20 minutes walk to night bazaar, )with access from bedroom and living room to balcony big kitchen with so many cabinets. Big bathroom with separate shower on the top floor (5th floor) only 4 units per floor for 9000 baht ($245 US) If you have the patience, you can find really good deals in non tourist area. My wife and I are both from CA and are retired early and living it up!! Thanks for your videos.

Nice place man! I'm getting things ready to leave the US, hopefully by Thanksgiving or Christmas at the latest. I'm looking at the Philippines, Mexico and Thailand (Chiang Mai). I should be able to find decent rent wherever I go as I won't be wanting to live in or too near the city centers. Hope I can find a place with low rent that's as nice as yours! There's so much to sort out, figuring out all the ins and outs of visas in different countries, etc. Hopefully by the time I pick a place and leave here, I'll know what I'm doing! lol

Since you are friend of a man in the business, I want to say yes, what I would look for is a one bedroom, with room for a bicycle, a good reading chair by a screened window, fully furnished with a refrigerator, study desk, with even the pots, pans, and eating utensils, and kitchen ware to go with the apartment. I also really like ceiling fans to cut down on air conditioning. I am from the USA, and looking to get into a Thailand visa when able, only to wonder how long I could stay. I might even want to die there, whereas I am 72, and have no one to return to.......All if I am able.

@OneWayTicketwithScottAnthony 9 ай бұрын

You also may want to look into living in Pattaya because I think maybe you would not have to deal with the terrible air quality of burning season which lasts for months. It is really a problem and something you must consider.

@davidparker2173 9 ай бұрын

Thank you. I will check it out. I have considered Pai for it's cool nights. Yes, there are many considerations. And as far as furnished kitchen ware, a basic eclectic collection from thrift stores would be totally acceptable for a guy like me who looks for economy. I am 72 and not looking for party town, but just down home tranquility with enough people around to reach out to, and get to know, and enough available good and services. @@OneWayTicketwithScottAnthony

@OneWayTicketwithScottAnthony Жыл бұрын

This was the first time I was well into the burning season. I have to say the air quality is very concerning. I would leave at the beginning of March and stay away for a few months. I left a bit later and it was indeed quite bad. I think the sweet spot is leaving in late February and staying away for a few months. The air quality is bad enough , starting in March, that over many years it could really be bad for your health. Prob some people leave for other countries around Asia and then come back after a few months when the rains in Chiang Mai make the burning season end.
