I agree,the Blue template is awesome. Ive been there 3 times. Don't miss Wat Ban Den , in Mae Tang. It is Chiangmai's very best temple. It has 7 Temples side by side in one complex. Ive been there 6 times. Just 50 min drive from the old city.

They're actually burning the jungles on the mountains looking for mushrooms. They don't burn the rice fields. And Chang mai has better air than bangkok eight months a year. I couldn't agree with you more. We love Chang. Mai have been here for 8 years.
@MrEye4get3 күн бұрын
The burning season in Northern Thailand is from February to April, not January and February. During this time, Chiang Mai is often the "world's most polluted city"! Good luck with Thai citizenship. Quotas are limited by country, and the requirements aren't as simple as you think.

Definitely valid points. Chiang Mai is ideal for living 8 months out of the year (smoke didn't go away until the rain started to fall as late as end of May). This coming year we will definitely be exploring different places to alternate between, I hear De Nang is getting quite popular with the CM folks

Welcome to brunei, the arabic writing you see everywhere, is literally transliteration of words from malay in alphabet to arabic, in arabic font or we call it jawi, of course some english words are also translated into malay but in jawi writings, For example, when you see the SULTAN in alphabet, the jawi/arabic writing and pronounciation is SULTAN also, unless its in english like PIZZA HUT, it will be translated into malay word and written in jawi (the malay word is PONDOK PIZZA)

I was in Chiangmai the year Covid started. My family and I were in Thailand in December, spending Christmas break. We got home, and a week after New Year, Covid attacked. I do not know when I will be back in Chiangmai, or perhaps will never be, but I admire Chiangmai so much. Especially the highest mountain in Thailand, I was there. I loved every bit of experience I had in Chiangmai.

Hey man, best of luck to you. Living my dream! I am on the exact same mission. I am also half thai and would love to know how you are finding acquiring thai citizenship? I’m trying as we speak. But I am told I have to serve in the army for 2 years (I am 26), which isn’t a problem but I would love to know how you are going about it? I relate to you quite a bit just off what you were talking about in this video. Glad to have found you. Subscribed and interested in your journey 🙏
@nofearnomadАй бұрын
Hey!! Yes... I heard that was a possibility. I just turned 30, which means that's no longer a thing. But at 26, from what I'm reading, I think there's a chance you'd have to enlist. Just check the legitimate exemptions to see if you have the ability to skip enlisting, or not. I'm in a peculiar situation where paperwork was never filed when I was born, nor does my immediate family have currently valid papers as they emigrated a long time ago. So it's a journey! But thanks so much for your kind words!!

I’m 52 …. Thinking of making the BIG jump myself next year. It’s either stay in the 🇺🇸 (SoCal) and work till I die to “get by” or move overseas and retire in my 50s. Lots of anxiety with all the “stuff” to get rid or and selling the house and all 😬
@nofearnomadАй бұрын
Oh man I just went through all of that. You can start a side hustle or business and keep bringing in income one way or another while you're out here too! You'll be surprised with what you can do with even a fraction of California income too. But yes, that anxiety is a big hurdle. I realized a method, when I was deciding what to keep or what to donate/store. If you look at something you own, and hesitate on making a decision, just get rid of it. If you really need it you'd know. It helped SO much when we were trying to figure it all out, and realized when we got here that we STILL overpacked and so much stuff won't be put to use. But I guarantee you when you finally make the decision, you're not going to regret it for a second. Bringing novelty back into your life is an incredible thing.
