I'd say stay outside of the direct tourist locations. I went to Phuket and got a bit irritated never being able to leave my hotel without being overwhelmed with people putting sunglasses on your face or chasing you down the street trying to get you to buy something.
My husband and I stayed in the second condo for 6 weeks a couple of years ago. The location was excellent and worth paying the extra to stay there. The apartment was small but very modern, bright and clean. Great views too! We absolutely loved our stay there and hope we can go back one day. Ps. Watching this video has made me feel so nostalgic. 😭😭 can’t wait to go back to Thailand after Covid is over 😢 PPS: my husband and I love your videos!! My husband will message me and say “Chris has a new video out” 😂 I am also Canadian (from Newfoundland but living in Australia). We love that you take time to help others around Thailand. We have donated some money to your next cause 💕 Thank you 🙏
I loved my time in Chiang Mai! it's so much fun to talk to all the British expats and the young people from all over europe. It was the best trip ever.
Cyan Resorts, Kamala beach I have put a month's deposit to move there for 9/12 months about May/June time. 58sqm brand new, 55" smart tv, hotplate, toaster, kettle, aircon, wifi, double fridge, microwave and balcony. Pool is 16M and garden and pool maintenance all included. Fully furnished and all utensils, just electric on top. It is max 5 minutes walk to beach, supermarket and bars and restaurants! So much bigger than these and in a great area and 12,000B per month, should be reduced once I pay for 9/12 months.
I lived in Chiang Mai back in 1998/99 as a young (Brit) researcher for the Uni there - can't remember the rental cost but what a place, such fond memories. My daily Honda 90 commute was up to the top of Doi Suthep, the mountain overlooking the city, cool and fresh. Wonder how much it has changed.
The lap pools in all your videos are a game changer, and I am talking about the significant length beautiful lap pools and green spaces. Please keep showing more of these: outdoor pools and Thailand breezes.
We have a 3 bedroom House in the Village across the mall from the cheap condo. Its awesome. Very secure, two gates, no such thing as following a car in, once you pass the first gate you gotta stop at the second... The Security guys are awesome too. They will literally check your mail if you want them to... Its been sitting Vacant for 2 years because we went through immigration process in the USA and Covid delayed it. We are all good now, just waiting to be allowed back in. We had the place cleaned after 20 months of nobody inside. We paid a lady 500 Baht and she asked if she could bring another person. Of course we said yeas so 1000 baht to completely clean the house. It cost 2500 baht to trim our trees and do the gardening and believe me it was a lot of work. two truckloads of trimmings... Thailand is awesome
With it being a wind chill of -30 degrees Fahrenheit today in the upper Midwest, I am super jealous of your short sleeve shirt. Thank you for the great contact. It helped warm me up on this chilly day!
The gyms were similar. Even though the pool in the condo was inside, so no having to worry about the weather, I would have to give the nod to the 1st apartment for around $300/mo. Next to a mall too! Done!
My gf and I love the way you filmed the first Condo..lol... With the Movie Shining scene aerial panning style and the music... hahaha.. so funny but excellent job!!
Definitely like the covered pool at Areca... although would want some cheaper food around not just trendy / international focused stuff. Only lived for a little while in BKK, but will definitely spend a year or so soon in Chiang Mai. Can't wait to get back. Was due back to BKK last June... hopefully now this year.
Hey Chris, LOVE THE CHANNEL!!!!. as you know most retired Canadians can only leave the country for 6 months a year. I was wondering if we could get some similar videos on short term lease properties, per month, 3 months or 6 months. Keep up the AWESOME CONTENT, CHEERS from Vancouver Canada.
Thailand and it's people are a beautiful country. We were there 4 years ago in December/January and it was absolutely one of our best trips in our life. If I was single I would probably live there. You will not be disappointed. Chiang Mai will be our next trip there. I understand it's a little cooler and it's the coffee area.
I spent some tine was in Chang Mai in 1979-80. It was a small town one could walk around or use the bicycle rickshaws. There were no Tuk Tuk's. The towns limits were not far beyond the old walled fortress and moat. Stayed in what was then Mee's guest house on the river across from the foot bridge. I ended up being Mr. Mee's driver for his wedding on a farm out in the rice area just outside of the town
I agree, the 2nd unit was smaller then i would prefer as well, but the location seems great. Funny thing they did cram a larger fridge in the 2nd unit...
Or...would you rather, great work Chris, nice shirt Chris, beautiful drone shots Chris, bring us more content Chris, what a great life you have Chris, all day long.
Oh this was fun . Never thought of staying in Chiang Mai for so long but looking at the Condos might even consider staying there longer next time . Back to back 2 condos and house tour was really fun to watch . The slight insight you gave us regarding al those nasty you tube commentators was hilarious 😂. Had a good laugh . You sure make it fun experience to even watch these kind of Condo tour videos . Once again t👍to your efforts .
Always love your contents, very useful, informative and friendly atmosphere. Keep it up sir, 🙏 thank you for sharing ,enjoy Thailand for me😂i really miss my home there and everywhere.
Thank you , superb, liked and subbed . Love to live in Chiangmai, great for vegetarian people like me , I’m 59 and solo . The uk can stay for 90 days . The swimming pool looks lovely.
$500 for a smaller condo? Ehhh, yea I get it’s in the most modern neighborhood but nah. The first one seems good but paying extra for electricity, water, and internet makes that one also not as appealing to me personally. I hear there’s a good place next to the college , can’t wait to see that one when I visit Chiang Mai. Chris I love your videos, keep it up.
Even for any of us not currently seeking accommodation the videos are still fun to watch! Even if you did 8 minutes of simply throwing stones from glass houses, we’d still watch... as long as you didn’t get one aimed back at you after all that throwing...! 😝 😂
The second condo would suit me perfectly, although being in Nimman it’s more expensive. I stayed at D’Vieng in Santitham last time. Loved it and was just near Thanin market. I’d love to see a good place that’s decent but a good price near Kalare night bazarre. Think I’d like to try there next time. X x
From freezing Colorado and wanting to vacation in Thailand. Please Work your magic and convince the Thai Govt. to open the country. I speak on behalf of the rest of the World, “nothing says we love Thailand more... than we have one Gazillion Million Billion dollars and are ready to spend.” 😃
It's personal preference, but the second is a pass for me. Nimman is nice to visit but I would pick other neighborhoods to live in Chiang Mai. Nice video.
First one, though cheaper, is outside city area and seems you will need a car or a motorbike to get around (notice a no.of cars parked). 2nd is more expensive but you can walk or take public transport (or get a bike)
Amazing your chanel and what you are doing!! Now that you are in Chiang Mai I suggest to meet the staff of Sixcret Show, they did the best performances in Thailand, in my opinion, but unfortunately they are struggling to survive without tourists. Their art is amazing and they deserve a little bit of help.
If I were single, I think the one in the hip neighborhood that was newer would be alright even though relatively expensive....but for quieter living I did like the first one and especially that 9000 baht/mo. price!
Thanks for your video. Each time I watch one, I want to get on a plane to BKK which would be much better than the semi-lockdown in TO. I liked everything about the condo in Nimman, but it looked a bit too small. Again, thanks for your videos, very inspiring!
excellent content as always Chris 👍 would you mind making similar review contents on secondary & high schools in Thailand.. especially the curriculum, teacher's quality, facilities and fees.. Really appreciate as not many youtuber provided these details (there are only handful of old ones) Thinking on moving there once all dust are settled, with my secondary & high school kids
Oh my that last one was a bit small for an older guy like me. Would be perfect for a 20 something who would be out and about socializing all the time though. 👍🏻 Good stuff I enjoy these Chris.
Well the 2nd unit is far more expensive than it should be. 27sqm? for 500$? no, you can do better than that in Chiang Mai. For 15,000B (500$) you can find 2-bed / 2-bath condos very easily, especially now in Corona times. There are many deals now in Chiang Mai. You can get a condo double the size or more for 15K. This is much too expensive.
W Living Chiang Mai under $300 fully furnished very well maintained no need for long term lease. Located between NM and Old city. Also Residence SG in Jed Yod under 300 great location.
They both are nice, but all things being equal, I would have to go with the first one. Love all you little ways you get Stanley Kubrick into your videos. What would be even funnier is if there was a small thai town named Redrum
thai people are friendly.Don’t worry when you live in thailand. we help each other. sorry if my english is very bad😹.
It's very good🙏🏼
Better than mine. Greetings from Vienna /Austria
Your English is definitely better than my Thai....I generally just know food and bad words :)
Only if u bumped into a salim though.
Your English is very good.
Your channel has single handedly persuaded me to come to Thailand
well i love to hear that!
Chris is a true star
You won't regret it amazing place
You won't be dissapointed💯

I really like the first one for the money. Now I must start saving to take a trip to Thailand. I just turned 70 in October time to party.
Damn bro you waited till 70 to party, I’m 30 and I’m ready to relax till I’m 70 now 😭

Wow, thanks!
LMAO when you did the 'glass house/throwing rocks' bit! Great video!

The interior of the first condo looks brighter and more at ease, let alone the price is 40% lower. Wow!
Really does depend on location and convenience
With it being a wind chill of -30 degrees Fahrenheit today in the upper Midwest, I am super jealous of your short sleeve shirt. Thank you for the great contact. It helped warm me up on this chilly day!
I like the look of that second more expensive unit. The space seems great for one and the highlight of being closer to things to do is quite inviting.
You save me so much leg work Chris. 👍🙏🙏🙏 thanks you’re one of the best bloggers in Thailand, bar none👍👍

You are so welcome!
Nice...I stayed in the Palms Spring Areca before. Great place.
I just found your channel. I'm now subscribed with the bell...and I'm about to binge watch all your videos. I'm loving the concept of your channel. ❤
Nyman has tons of cool little coffee shops, restaurants and it's near the mountains.

This is really making me miss Chang Mai and travelling right about now. Great video!
Wow chiang mai has changed alot in 25 years!
Soon Pai will have electricity 😂
I love the music from the shining!!! Just recently started watching your videos.
You are just amazing!!!!
oh snap! love ur vids! especially the condo reviews, dreaming of getting retired myself and move to thailand xD
Glad you like them!

1st one was probably the better condo I think, even if its an older building.
Love seeing the prices and quality. Great video
The music from the shining still puts the fear in me
Definitely number one for me, would be nice to be in that neighborhood though. Thanks for the tours buddy.
cheers brother!
Thank you bro.. Always kind and upbeat.. Hope you are as blessed as you share with us all.. Happy New Year!!!!!
I always love your background music. You are my Idol👍👍
I preferred the 1st one , though I would rather be closer to the action, ya I guess I would spend the extra . Great video Chris. 🙏🏽
Good choice!
The 2nd apartment. Its more than just the apartment but the quality of life and the 2nd unit is in a great location.
As always, great stuff. Thanks for sharing, Chris. 👍🏽😊
My pleasure!
Need something more centrally located than the first. Second is in a super cool area, but very small. Gyms and lounge areas are sweet for both places.
Thanks Chris more of this thanks the second condo for me I'm a sucker for a good swimming pool
You can find the expat community that you feel safe and friendly to. Any country in the world. Take time to find the info and the expat lifestyle.
Love the reference to The Shining. Chiangmai, proud to have stayed there for a month. Thailand is so beautiful.
Awesome, watching your film during Chinese New Year vacation.
Awesome! Thank you!

hey man congratulations for your video it helps me so much to find a good place to rent there!!
thanks for posting I like areca better than the first condo as there is less traffic noise. thanks again for posting

I really enjoy your videos on condos, keep them coming please 🙏☺️
Curious what $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,000 per month rent can get you in Thailand. xD
Probably the goverment
The Hyde
3, 6, 9 condos
Herpes
It can get you kidnapped.
You're really good bud. I'm retiring in a few years never even considered out of country, but you're making me think about it!
Love the Kubrickian shots!
It's personal preference, but the second is a pass for me. Nimman is nice to visit but I would pick other neighborhoods to live in Chiang Mai.
Nice video.
Fair enough!
both amazing units for single person with great value, id be happy in both
Both good but prefer the cheaper one. The problem with those for me would be storage for clothes and other items. Cheers Chris 🍻
I just found your awesome channel! I miss Thailand! Definitely need to go visit again once all this chaos mulls over. Subscribed!
Thanks . The agent was super 👍
Retirement, turned up to 'eleven'
Fantastic video Chris 🇹🇭🇬🇧👍

Glad you enjoyed it

If I were single, I think the one in the hip neighborhood that was newer would be alright even though relatively expensive....but for quieter living I did like the first one and especially that 9000 baht/mo. price!
The $300 condo is a great deal I love it

Chiang Mai is such a great city!
Like both units... but I like the first one better. It is airier and the light is better

Alice looks like a nice person. 😊thanks for the info!
The gym and pool were definitely nicer at the first place but the second condo was much nicer.
both condos would do but I would go for the 2nd one I feel has a better vibe about it
