I think its always good to explore different areas and options. Its true when they say there is no such thing as the perfect property but there is always the perfect property for you.
Thanks Mark. Yes you get a feeling of somewhere you like. I got that feeling in this area. It would be a nice quiet place to live. Few other places i like as well though.
Thanks for showing us that neighborhood. It seems like everything you need is nearby. I plan to bring my dog to CM with me and it looks like a better area to go for walks, play ball, etc.
I enjoy watching your videos. . . . . Your episodes were well-done . . . . and you are not that introvert. . . . . The most amazing part is the videos you shoot about real properties in Chiangmai . . . . . . .
Another pleasant stroll through another very pleasant part of CM..it’s been said if you move from BKK to CM you save about 30% and if you move outside of CM you save another 30%..the freedom from stress is very affordable and beaches are only a $30 plane ride away...so all in all it’s hard to beat..CM...and Tland in general..thx for the vid, keep on peddling 🙏🏻👍🏻✌🏻🕊
Cheers Norris, glad you liked the vlog. Yes people never really talk about living just a little out of the city, you can save so much just by going 10 or 20 minutes out and get a lot more for your money. As you mentioned, cheap to get to the beach for a few days. Thanks Norris.
I've never been to 89 Plaza. That parking lot looks gigantic. Must really come to life at night with vendors selling food. As you say, it's a perfect place to rent a place nearby. Thai rates and only 10 minutes from the city center. Much quieter, but still all the markets for fresh food. Living smack in the middle of the tourist zone, I found myself spending money needlessly and foolishly on Western foods at almost Western prices (Pizza, burgers, Italian food, etc) which if you're on a budget or gonna live their longterm, it's best not to indulge on a daily basis. Anyways, next time I'm in CM, I'm gonna check that neighborhood out. Thanks for that video, Wayne. Cheers....
It's a massive place Sean and defo comes to life at night. This area has everything! and easy to get to town, casual 10 minutes ride on the bike. Yes, long-term down near 89 is perfect. If i was coming short term i would prob stay in and around the city still. You get alot more for the money just outside the city. You would probably need to furnish it but some do come furnished. Worth checking out mate, always good to know some different places. Hope your well Sean.
this was so cool to watch tonight maybe early next year i'll be there in thailand for 6 months with dad and his wife not chiang mai but somewhere - thanks for the videos wayne rachel
Thanks for showing us this lovely place it’s nice Wayne and it isn’t far from the city either 89 plaza nice quiet place Wayne I think you should go for it mate everything is here for you
All good stuff, mate. Noise is no good. Pups, fresh air and a short jaunt for delicious chow. I'll bet you could find a place with a pool for a song as well. I paid 22k for the condo I lived in when on Nimman. Nice, but much better deals where you're showing us. Have a good one!
Yes, some good deals 10 minutes out of the city, especially now. Some of the houses had a swimming pool. Would be easy to find other places with a nice pool. Peace and quiet is what it's all about mate. Thanks. 👍
Lovely quiet area Simo, lot's of nice houses being built. Yes mate i was out and about all day on this one. Nice to get out for the day on the bike. Thanks Mate.
great vids enjoyed it great prices to rent them houses i was paying 16,000 baht a month in phuket 2019 for the same style of house/bunglow :( deffo will be checking out chang mi in the future
Thanks man. Wayne, one of the things ive thought about Chiang Mai that puts me off a little is not having a beach nearby - is that something that you miss?
Thanks Stuart buddy. I think a lot of people stay down south for that reason mate, the beach. I'm from the seaside and lived with a beach outside my door back home all my life, so I guess it doesn't matter to much to me. Don't get me wrong though, I would love a beach in Chiang Mai. I've always been a jungle, trees and mountain guy, so I would choose jungle over the beach every time, but sure everyone's different. Sometimes I do miss that clean ocean air but missing a beach is something that never crosses my mind here mate. Thanks Stuart
4,000 thb a month, I think that may be Thai rates it would cost more for a farang unless you go and rent one with a Thai friend helping you negotiate rates. Love the area Wayne, plaza 89 is great evenings for sure, I will check that area out when I come over,I prefer a small house 5o apartment anyway.
Hey Leila, yes always handy to know some Thai language or have a Thai friend to negotiate a better price. It sure is a great area :) Hope you are ok Leila ❤
Love the vlog Wayne very chilled and eye opener , thinking of having a long stay ,now im retired , just . cheapo house for me to rent . , never been to chaing mai but been to thal many times . thanks Wayne , Timmy Thailand .
@@WalkAboutWayne I'm no expert but compared to other channels this video seems somewhat yellowish which is reducing the experience for me. I try to watch videos in 4k whenever possible which makes it so satisfying to watch. Just my opinion though.
I just started enjoying your channel. My girlfriend and I are planning on coming to Chaing Mi for a month or two when the travel restrictions ease up some. In looking for a condo to rent for a month or two, could you recommend a web site, realtor, or other method to find a place or would AirBnB be the best option? Thanks, keep up the good work!
Hi Dan, thanks for watching the channel buddy. Sounds like a good plan and i'm sure you will love Chiang Mai. Let's hope things get back to normal soon. The best and cheapest way is to look on foot when your here. Book a hotel for a couple nights and then find an apartment when your here. You will get the best prices that way, but if your just coming for a month or 2, then sure AirBnB would be ok . These are also a great option for finding Apartments in Chiang Mai......... Great Facebook group for finding cheap apartments - facebook.com/groups/218247338585479 Another good site for Chiang Mai Apartments www.renthub.in.th/en/apartment/chiang-mai Thanks Dan 🙏
Hi Brad, the air is pretty bad at the minute mate, in the unhealthy 127 zone. The mountain is hazy most days but nothing as bad as it's going to get in the coming weeks. Not the best time to be coming but it's still bearable at the minute. Thanks Brad.
🤣🤣 I'm sure they would throw in a puppy too. Happy is a cool dog :) he broke his leg when he was young, so can only walk properly on 3 legs. Thanks for watching Kyoto.
I checked map. Not that far from city. Nice to see these unknown areas. Many Thai classes on line. Just some get around words at first might open some doors. I should have tried more when I was there. I could do the same here.
YOU,RE JOKING MILLLLLLLION. WOW. YOU COULD BUY 3 NICE HOUSES IN CM FOR THAT. HAD TO BE AN IMPULSIVE PURCHASE, OR THEY GUY WAS SWIMMING IN CASH. A HOUSE IN NIMMANHAMMIN IS 9 MILLION RIGHT NOW. I LIVED IN NONG HOI FOR JUST OVER 2 YEARS, GREAT AREA, DRIVING THROUGH THOSE GIANT RUBBER TREES, THAT STRIP MALL IS ALRIGHT, WITH JAPANESE BUFFET ACROSS THE STREET. HOWEVER THE AREA LACKS SIDEWALKS AND THE OLD TOWN APPEAL. THOUGHT ABOUT BUYING THERE, BUT I'D HAVE TO BE INSIDE THE MAHIDOL RING
love how you always explore things on your own...so nice.
👍

Cheers buddy! Thanks for the support as always. 👍

Hi River, yes it would be a great area for a dog. Thanks for watching.
Thanks man! This is really good info. I am from a bigass city, and I am tired. These little houses will do for me. Keep up the good vlog.
It's a great area this Kammer. Small, quiet area with cheap basic houses. Thanks.

Lovely quiet area Simo, lot's of nice houses being built. Yes mate i was out and about all day on this one. Nice to get out for the day on the bike. Thanks Mate.
The area looked familiar but that's because it is close to our home. Still surprised about the ruins though.
Nice area south of the city Jaco, peace and quiet but with everything you need.
you might want to try outside of Doi Saket area... surely quieter and more.
Doi Saket is a nice area too Ken, maybe i will do a video there at some point. Thanks.
Thank you for your vidéo..
Thank you 👌
great vids enjoyed it great prices to rent them houses i was paying 16,000 baht a month in phuket 2019 for the same style of house/bunglow :( deffo will be checking out chang mi in the future

@@WalkAboutWayne Me too
ahh ive been there before! I was told that its the residential part of chiang mai and houses are more cheaper compared to the touristic old city!
It's a nice area and cheaper than inside the city for sure. Not far from the city either 👍
What was the name of that neighborhood Wayne. That was pretty nice.
I forget the neighborhood Robert but it's in Nong Hoi area. Lot's and Lot's of places like this in Nong Hoi.
Thanks

You should go up to Doi Pui to take photos of Himalayan cherry blossoms. 🤭😊
It's on my list buddy :)

Cheers Wayne, nice part of the town it seems,quiet and peaceful
Thanks Erkan, yes it's a lovely area and it has the market and everything you would need. Lot's of areas like this, just a few minutes out the city. 👍
02:05. Hauling ass down the road ...cars pulling out, forced into the drains by trucks 🙈
Yep , that's about right mate 😂😂
@@WalkAboutWayne frickin brickin crazy 😄
Hii buddy, I had word with you few days back on messengrr. Is this location available at present?

How's the air quality in Chiang Mai now? Is it worth visiting?
Hi Brad, the air is pretty bad at the minute mate, in the unhealthy 127 zone. The mountain is hazy most days but nothing as bad as it's going to get in the coming weeks. Not the best time to be coming but it's still bearable at the minute. Thanks Brad.
@@WalkAboutWayne thanks a lot mate, much appreciated!
Is Chiang Mai gate the same as Thapae gate?
No mate, Chiang Mai gate is the south gate, different from Tha Pae gate.
Sir what is the monthly rent of these houses which you will show in your video
Hi Sunil, the small thai houses are around 4000 and the big new houses 30,000.
Do you recommend nimman area for house?
Not really mate but everyone is different. Maybe Jed Yod behind Nimman, that would be a cool place.
@@WalkAboutWayne thank for replying
Waynooooooo
👌👌👌
does the puppy come with the house? i'm willing to pay extra. lol
🤣🤣 I'm sure they would throw in a puppy too. Happy is a cool dog :) he broke his leg when he was young, so can only walk properly on 3 legs. Thanks for watching Kyoto.
Not a good video. No entry. How can we get an idea of what the place is like without seeing the inside?
Fair point. I could only show the area. 👍
@@WalkAboutWayne most of your videos r pretty good. Don't mean to dump on you. Just constructive criticism. Thanx for response.👍🇨🇷
No offense taken mate 👍. I agree, the vlog would have been alot better with showing the inside. Thanks for watching the channel man 👍
@@WalkAboutWayne 👍
Would you want to learn more Thai if you lived down there? I wouldl like to explore that area.
Good point Robert, learning Thai would be more essential i think, Especially if you was living full time in that area.
I checked map. Not that far from city. Nice to see these unknown areas. Many Thai classes on line. Just some get around words at first might open some doors. I should have tried more when I was there. I could do the same here.
