I stay in a beautiful apartment in Chiang Mai Gate and have the night Market near me every Saturday nights. Everything needed is close by and I go for long walks to Nimman Road and the golf course on the way to Mae Sai and the surrounding areas including Maya Mall. Try the Burmese restaurant off Nimman Road. Stunningly beautiful and tasty curries at very cheap prices! Chiang Mai Gate is a great location for a quiet life!
Love Chiang Mai! Although it doesn’t have the beaches etc, it’s so so easy to see why people stay for months on end. So chilled with such great amenities on hand. Came extremely close to doing this myself when we were there - the condos and apartments are actually really nice
It's definitely more expensive these days, but this was high season and last minute + a premium location. Still much better deals to be found if you're flexible
Nice find with this apartment. It looks clean, spacious, and simple. More importantly it's quiet when you are out in the balcony, unlike some videos I saw in VN where it's super noisy with motor bikes and honking. Thailand seems more developed than VN, but that could be they had more time to develop since they weren't at wars in the 20th century.
so for anyone watching one year leases drop the price up to 40% less ... this is a monthly lease and is still much better than staying in a hotel...of course ! and cheaper... L.A Rob
@@gregscott4368 HI Greg i have been working and playing in Thailand for over 15 years and i can tell you there are nice places to rent for $250- $300 even less if needed .. you can even rent a house for not much more.. So yes Thailand is Cheap and i am 100% surerents will decrease due to the cornona virus issue even once its over there economy will not bounce back quickly its heavily dependent on tourism.. so if you are trying to find out if Thialand is cheap the answer is yes ! but of course if you like you can spend much more.. there are many Americans living working and retiring on $1000.00 or less in Thailand and can still go out for casual diners of course that does not include having a car you would need use public transportation and all the bigger Beach cities and Bangkok have great and inexpensive transportation...i really dont like when people dont have true experience commenting on the cost of living abroad.. so i hope this long reply helps you if you are even giving it a passing thought..
You're both smiling and happy all the time despite some travel challenges and that's admirable and inspiring. Thank you for sharing great content and your hard work for the vlog!
The best way I've found to rent an apartment is through Chiang Mai Properties. You don't necessarily have to scrounge around - just check out their listings.
Excellent video. I'm on my second watch right now. Really love how everything looks from your new condo to the areas you walked to the delicious looking coffee. I'm impressed by the way you get around town and navigate traffic in a foreign land so to speak.. haha. Although, I couldn't help but wonder if you forgot where you parked? There's so many scooters parked in that mall lot but I guess all you have to keep an eye out for is the naughty cupid helmet? Hahahaha... By the way, you guys are never boring. Its always a great mental escape for me whenever I watch you guys no matter what you're up to... even grocery shopping looks fun to me haha.. Looking forward to more. Peace!
Love it - 2 watches? Bet you're sitting through those ads for us as well :P That car park was ridiculous! Definitely just hunted our the naughty cupid though and life was easy from there hahaha. Thanks again for another awesome comment, we always love reading what you have to say. Just finished tomorrows vid and we love it, not often we personally really strongly love an edit once we've spent so long on it... but this one. We're proud of it and can't wait to share the experience!
I did a quick calculation. Per square meter, it's 30% less expensive then renting my home, in a tech area (Reston, VA) south of Washington, D.C. In a U.S.city the size of Chiang Mai you'd expect rents to be lower. So is there a discount in renting, at least this apartment, in Chiang Mai,Thailand.
Thats kind of crazy at 30% less. Even crazier, this is one of the most expensive rooms/complexes in Chiang Mai. Our last room was a but smaller, and was only $500 USD per month. Lots of people go there and only pay 250ish, but 500-700 a month gets you a lot nicer and newer set up
Hey man its been a while. Im happy you guys are back in chiang mai. How long are you staying there? We are planning to live in chiang mai for 3 months as a traveller. Cant wait to see more of your videos.
Been a while, good to have you back. CM is awesome, you'll love it! Only staying 6 weeks or so, but more so to let the videos catch up while we do a few other things. In saying that, we've got heaps of plans and things to share from here soon!
Are you guys from New Zealand?? 😁 Chiang Mai is my hometown ! I am due back in May ... it’s definitely the best place to live .. it remind me of Mount Maunganui here where I live .. Very local like ..not so hectic like Bangkok .. the videos are amazinggggg and I know most of those places ... ✌️✌️✌️
Yup - we're from Auckland, but Chiang Mai is like our second home now! Spent more time there in the last year and a half than anywhere else in the world and love it!
Daneger and Stacey ohh Sweet! Chiang Mai is my second home too! Can’t wait to get back and eat the real local Northern Foods I grew up eating .. Non of that Farang style Thai crap hahaha ✌️✌️
Spending our weekends finishing it!! We’re so proud, it’s going to help so many people - we’ll have it with you soon 👌🏼 Thanks for watching and supporting!
Hey Francois Franceschini - we recently upgraded and love the new rig. Check it out on Amazon here - geni.us/ourcamera and this is our go to daily lens - geni.us/ourlens editing is on Final Cut Pro X
Hard to say really, closer to $600 maybe. We also have another video of our place in the same complex that was $500 and was fine. This building and location is pricier than most because of where it is and its new. You can spend $300 per month and get some where decent.
Don't know if you guys know about the Wed. night buffet at the Kantary Hills hotel. It is supposed to be a nice spread for about $21 US. Nice for a date night, or special occasion.
Hey Rob - we mention a few of these things in the video. There's no checks, they just scan your passport, you sign an agreement and pay the deposit. In Chiang Mai that is anyway, other places are a little more difficult to arrange but just as straight forward. Its very, very easy.
Hi guys, I am Thai. My family open the hotel in Chiang Mai called Wannamas. I would love to be digital nomad my start moving from Bangkok to chaing Mai first. Can you please recommend me how to be digital nomad!!
Hey I realy enjoyed your video. My question to you is, well first I want to say is that I have watch a lot of video's of people in and around Vietnam and I am curious, is it normal for forieners to constantly be moving every month or can you rent one place and stay for a year?
Visas are the problem. Thailand you can get 2 months paid, then pay to extend. Vietnam you can get 3 or maybe even up to 6 months in one go so is easier. Then you need to do a visa run
Nice video - I appreciate you two. Are you willing to share the name of the apartment complex? Or maybe even the name of several you found nice? Also - Do you two think it’s a good idea to try to work out a lease before arrival or just wait until arrival?
Airbnb is massively hiked in terms of price, maybe not so much now that all of these complexes are creeping up their prices, but used to be a huge difference.
Who needs the gym when house hunting??!! Right? People might think having a checklist is crazy, but, seriously after you see 5... you get to feeling like you might be losing your mind!!!?? Love the choice.. and.. save the legs... your restaurants are close by!! Thank you for your videos - clean is #1 - are there alot of BUGS there?? Flies !? Mosquitos?
Checklist is vital when you look at so many - luckily we only had 2 available anyway haha. Chiang Mai is great, no bugs or anything. Though this complex is so nice and new there is no sign of a bug anywhere - had more back in NZ than in Palm Springs.
Kia-ora, glad to see you guys back in CM, love that place. I know visas can be a pain time wise there. Was it possible to get a 90 day visa for Thailand in the Philippines do you know? Cheers guys.
Teddy Miukey, why compare? I get your point. But comparison is useful for people who may want to relocate. The USA is large and there are cheap places also, but probably people would prefer Thailand. I would live in Thailand over small town USA. Incidentally, American apartments are usually old fashioned in design. Modern apartments are expensive, especially in big cities.
Hi guys! I hope all is well with you. Just finished watching this video and the place you guys got looks really nice. I saw the grocery haul and you might like Splenda too for sugar substitute. Thanks for making this video, i learn something about another country.
The apartment looks lovely but very expensive,good luck guys.on top of rent you have to pay water and electricity,but you both look happy and that is all that matters take care and enjoy.
Yeah there was nothing available, it was crazy. So definitely expensive for CM but its what we had to do. Luckily elec and water is very cheap in Palm Springs.
Water/elec would be about $30 a month there. Looks like plenty of cross air and light in that place, which will save on electric bill. BTW, I love Taiwan myself. Spent ten days there. For a guy, Thailand can be frustrating if you're not single, females rule the place and they still like friendly, normal guys.
The internet in CM is amazing, you wont have any problems. We did two trips, we went back for lunch to drop off the first lot then to the second market after that
Thailand and China kill my back with the hard beds. I can’t deal with it for long. When I was living in China I had to buy a new mattress and that was difficult to pull off. Soft mattresses are rare. Soft to them is firm in America. Firm to them is a board in America.
@@DanegerAndStacey thank you for the information, I'm really looking into doing a east Asia tour in the near future, I love Thailand & the Philippines. Want to live in the area long term. Thank you.
Hey Lena - theres articles everywhere online, they're relevant for any nation really, helped us with our planning as well. You can apply for a 60 day visa before you arrive, that can be extended while there for another 30 days giving you 90 in total. Or, go in on a free visa exempt for 30 days and then extend for another 30, giving you 60 in total.
Hi I was watching your video I have a question ,I will be in chiang mai next moth I would like to find a condo apartment for one week . Can you tell me where I can go to stay please?
Thanks! We'll be in Chiang Mai in a few days and I wonder if it's possible to rent this place for only one month. Do you know by any chance (and what would be the cost)?
We eat for the daily macro balance to supplement training more so, veges can be tough to find in Thailand in bulk, when we cook they're always there though :)
Hey Ocean Eleven - we recently upgraded and love the new rig. Check it out on Amazon here - geni.us/ourcamera and this is our go to daily lens - geni.us/ourlens
As a travel commentators you should advise your viewer of the Thai law and condo house rules regarding renting condos. Airbnb ignores these laws and causes owner and residents misery. Airbnb should be banned! If I find any Airbnb in my condo you will be reported to juristic and removed. Book a hotel . They want your business private residential condos do not.
Yeah that chicken place is the best forgot the name knew right where you were. After a month in Thailand we got home and my bed felt like a marsh mellow Thai beds are so hard.
I know you would eat out most of the time there, but I love to cook, it seems in Chiang Mai the kitchens are very small with not even a hob to cook on!
Haha we don't always live that way, this is all expensive for CM. Not sure what was organic (we don't care about that) but good coffee and a good apartment to work from will both save you money going out.
Daneger and Stacey we had a 6 month visa but still had to leave after 60 days. My husband got very sick and had to stay 21 days at the Bangkok hospital in Pattaya. Are 60 day visa expired on the 4.of March on a
Sunday. On 5 th. of March had to pay USD $ 250. Next day March 6. Send us home back to Canada 🇨🇦. So the Visa system stinks. Lucky Husband is ok. A good lesson people always by travel insurance. Lucky we did. Because it cost the insurance over 100 000 dollars. So always by travel insurance. Important.

This one easily looks and feel the best. The size is similar to European apartment.
Hi,
I’m from Chiang Mai, love the way you vlog and show our hometown in foreign guests’ perspectives. So much enjoyed!!!
Thanks - we love Chiang Mai, feels like our home in a lot of ways!
I stay in a beautiful apartment in Chiang Mai Gate and have the night Market near me every Saturday nights.
Everything needed is close by and I go for long walks to Nimman Road and the golf course on the way to Mae Sai and the surrounding areas including Maya Mall. Try the Burmese restaurant off Nimman Road. Stunningly beautiful and tasty curries at very cheap prices!
Chiang Mai Gate is a great location for a quiet life!
Wow! This is the exact type of place I'd love to live in when/if I lived and worked in Thailand.
Its possible man, aim for it!
Love Chiang Mai! Although it doesn’t have the beaches etc, it’s so so easy to see why people stay for months on end. So chilled with such great amenities on hand. Came extremely close to doing this myself when we were there - the condos and apartments are actually really nice
We agree. We love the beach, but CM is such an amazing place. In Bali atm and enjoying the beach vibes, but missing CM a little actually!
Just joined. First video I've seen. Great, informative stuff! I'll check the rest out. Congratulations on the life you've created for yourselves.
Appreciate that - thanks!
Wow. Seems from the prices that Chang Mai isn't cheap any longer and that's true for any great place. Chang Mai was cheap for 10 years
It's definitely more expensive these days, but this was high season and last minute + a premium location. Still much better deals to be found if you're flexible
Nice find with this apartment. It looks clean, spacious, and simple. More importantly it's quiet when you are out in the balcony, unlike some videos I saw in VN where it's super noisy with motor bikes and honking. Thailand seems more developed than VN, but that could be they had more time to develop since they weren't at wars in the 20th century.
This particular area in Nimman is definitely a bit of a higher standard, we love this spot!
so for anyone watching one year leases drop the price up to 40% less ... this is a monthly lease and is still much better than staying in a hotel...of course ! and cheaper... L.A Rob
Good piece of advice.
I live in the Midwest in the states and was thinking $700 a month isn’t much cheaper than here.

Great straight forward Vlog....
That sure was alot of shopping for bike to manage...
Keep on rolling 😉
Haha thanks 😊 we went home in between the two trips
Good stuff guys.. enjoy the stay and looking forward to hear about your future plans.
So I'm in love with your channel and am binging on all of them!!
That means a lot... enjoy!
You're both smiling and happy all the time despite some travel challenges and that's admirable and inspiring. Thank you for sharing great content and your hard work for the vlog!
Have you been there during burning season? Feb, March, April - How is the pollution?
It get's pretty hazy and not really enjoyable to be outside. Not unbearable, but not very nice either.
I just returned. It was very hazy most days but still beautiful. Weather is perfect there for me.
The best way I've found to rent an apartment is through Chiang Mai Properties. You don't necessarily have to scrounge around - just check out their listings.
is that apartment complex right behind maya? like. exactly behind it?
Nah, this ones over by the Nimman sois
Good to see you guys back in Thailand. I love that place. Great video :)
You guys have a really lovely energy on camera. Very low key and sincere. :)
Ahh thats so nice, thanks very much
Good video! Gotta ask, What type of camera are you using? The video quality is great!
New apartment looks amazing you guys! Great video. I miss walking around Maya mall, nice to see it shown here :)
Bringing back some memories for you no doubt! Hope you're well mate.
Very well put together video, and quite informative indeed....What equipment did you use to film do the video?
Appreciate it, thanks. We share all our equipment, gear and microphones etc here - danegerandstacey.com/our-equipment/
Your apartment looks great! Very excited to see what you guys get up to ☺️
Thanks guys! We're super stoked with this place.

Is this all inclusive? or you need to pay for electricity and water? Do you ppl have a gym and swimming pool.
Electricity is additional, but from memory only like $30 or so a month. Has a small gym and pool as well we show it later in the video
Great to see you both back in CM - nothing like expensive costs to focus the mind ! 👍😎😁💰🇬🇧
Thanks :) Stoked to be back!
Yay another apartment video. Awesome guys 💚
This is our most expensive yet... thats high season for you! Hope you enjoy the video ✌🏼
Where is the Big C which you mentioned is near Maya Mall? Please show on Google Map. TQ

Hey mate glad you guys are out of taiwan before that quake,. Take it easy
Yeah pretty lucky to be out - sad news, sounds bad there!
Awesome video. Can I ask what Camera/Software you use. Camera and Video Quality is amazing. Cheers!!
Hey Francois Franceschini - we recently upgraded and love the new rig. Check it out on Amazon here - geni.us/ourcamera and this is our go to daily lens - geni.us/ourlens editing is on Final Cut Pro X
Daneger and Stacey Thank you very much! Awesome rig!!
If that was high season, how much do you reckon that place would go for now? If it's that "easy" to find an apartment, I'm totally down for this fall!
Hard to say really, closer to $600 maybe. We also have another video of our place in the same complex that was $500 and was fine. This building and location is pricier than most because of where it is and its new. You can spend $300 per month and get some where decent.
Try to find local produce that doesn’t use agricultural chemicals. It’s there but you have to look for it.
Don't know if you guys know about the Wed. night buffet at the Kantary Hills hotel. It is supposed to be a nice spread for about $21 US. Nice for a date night, or special occasion.
Didn't know about it - thanks!
How does it work in another country? is there a credit check? do you just pay the deposits? how do they verify who you are and that you can pay?
Hey Rob - we mention a few of these things in the video. There's no checks, they just scan your passport, you sign an agreement and pay the deposit. In Chiang Mai that is anyway, other places are a little more difficult to arrange but just as straight forward. Its very, very easy.
Are you planning to visit any of the islands in Thailand? Great vlog!
Good video! I have been to chaing mai. We loved it. I may return for a summer. What is required to rent a scooter?
Thank you for sharing. You guys look awesome together
Thanks so much!
Hi guys, I am Thai. My family open the hotel in Chiang Mai called Wannamas. I would love to be digital nomad my start moving from Bangkok to chaing Mai first. Can you please recommend me how to be digital nomad!!
It's all about earning money online, in USD ideally, so you can be remote. We teach everything here: danegerandstacey.com/travel-full-time/
Hey I realy enjoyed your video.

Also - Do you two think it’s a good idea to try to work out a lease before arrival or just wait until arrival?
You can only arrange the leases when you're there. This is part of the Palm Springs group, theyve got a bunch around town to check out
Hi, nice video and channel! Any reason why to not get apartment through Airbnb instead walking around? Thanks, Marko
Airbnb is massively hiked in terms of price, maybe not so much now that all of these complexes are creeping up their prices, but used to be a huge difference.
Who needs the gym when house hunting??!! Right? People might think having a checklist is crazy, but, seriously after you see 5... you get to feeling like you might be losing your mind!!!?? Love the choice.. and.. save the legs... your restaurants are close by!! Thank you for your videos - clean is #1 - are there alot of BUGS there?? Flies !? Mosquitos?
Checklist is vital when you look at so many - luckily we only had 2 available anyway haha. Chiang Mai is great, no bugs or anything. Though this complex is so nice and new there is no sign of a bug anywhere - had more back in NZ than in Palm Springs.
Kia-ora, glad to see you guys back in CM, love that place. I know visas can be a pain time wise there. Was it possible to get a 90 day visa for Thailand in the Philippines do you know? Cheers guys.
By the way the condo looks. It would easily be a $2,000 apartment in Manhattan.
For sure! Its expensive for CM, but still such a great spot!
zeelowb96 , I think more in Manhattan. $2000 would be for old ugly apartment. This is a new building with lobby, and reception.
+richiesd1 why you cmpare with usa haha
7k a month in NYC
Teddy Miukey, why compare? I get your point. But comparison is useful for people who may want to relocate. The USA is large and there are cheap places also, but probably people would prefer Thailand. I would live in Thailand over small town USA.
Incidentally, American apartments are usually old fashioned in design. Modern apartments are expensive, especially in big cities.
Hi guys! I hope all is well with you. Just finished watching this video and the place you guys got looks really nice. I saw the grocery haul and you might like Splenda too for sugar substitute. Thanks for making this video, i learn something about another country.
We're doing awesome, thanks Alain! Thanks for another great comment - hope youre well also!
Daneger and Stacey go without sugar. Better for you.👍👍
The apartment looks lovely but very expensive,good luck guys.on top of rent you have to pay water and electricity,but you both look happy and that is all that matters take care and enjoy.
Yeah there was nothing available, it was crazy. So definitely expensive for CM but its what we had to do. Luckily elec and water is very cheap in Palm Springs.
What was the water and electric bill a month? Did you have a washing machine in the room? Great video!!!
Just sorting out total costs of living now, will have a video out in the next few weeks covering everything off :)
Water/elec would be about $30 a month there. Looks like plenty of cross air and light in that place, which will save on electric bill. BTW, I love Taiwan myself. Spent ten days there. For a guy, Thailand can be frustrating if you're not single, females rule the place and they still like friendly, normal guys.
So did the price jump an extra $200 since you last stayed there or is it a different room?
Different room - more floor space, better layout etc. This was also high season over Xmas so prices were cranked up
$700 is very high for cm. unless the prices are now getting ridiculous. but so many condos being built and many seem almost empty.
It's high season over December/Jan so nothing was left! Easing up now because burning season has hit pretty hard.
p Feeley it’s not high it’s totally normal price in Nimman area
Couple questions. Can you get internet in your apartment and how did yoy transport all that stuff back from the market on those bikes?
The internet in CM is amazing, you wont have any problems. We did two trips, we went back for lunch to drop off the first lot then to the second market after that
thanks for replying. you guys are awesome!
what kinda camera did you use? amazing quality!
Cheers man, it's the GH5: geni.us/ourcamera
The apartment looks cozy. I know it's not your country but you look like you are home
looks very similar to Hyde Park! Enjoy! Can't wait to read the book!!!
Thanks so much! Hyde Park - UK??
Hey! No, Hyde Park Residences in CM on Suthep Road. :)
Oh hahaha. Interesting to know!
Seriously love your vlogs! Would like to know where some of those restaurants are.
What is the name of that Apartment building? Is it very quiet? Thanks!
Lovely couple 💞
Enjoy your vdo
Have a great time in Chiangmai🏞️
Thank you! 😃
Thailand and China kill my back with the hard beds. I can’t deal with it for long. When I was living in China I had to buy a new mattress and that was difficult to pull off. Soft mattresses are rare. Soft to them is firm in America. Firm to them is a board in America.
Definitely gotta try and find a mattress topper to soften it up! We really should have
No pool??? That looks really nice....Didn't realize there would be that much trouble finding a decent apartment....
Sorry about the pool comment...you headed to the store so thought you were all done with the apartment...I'm impatient!!!!
Haha thats all good. Normally its easy to find an apartment, just high season so everything was taken.
It looks like Chiang Mai is your home base. Have you ever lived in Bali, Indonesia?
Just for the time being, a month or two. We've visited Bali multiple times, going there next.
Vietnam has a ton of spice with Pho - just ask for chillies and put them in they're always killer.
What makes Chiang Mai so different/special than the beach front areas such as Pattaya or Phuket. Is the price of living cheaper?
Cost of living is cheaper, much less people and less tourists, well established for nomads
@@DanegerAndStacey thank you for the information, I'm really looking into doing a east Asia tour in the near future, I love Thailand & the Philippines. Want to live in the area long term. Thank you.
Hi guys! I've been looking online for info about visas but can't find much. I'm a kiwi too - how do you stay in Thailand for more than 30 days?
Hey Lena - theres articles everywhere online, they're relevant for any nation really, helped us with our planning as well. You can apply for a 60 day visa before you arrive, that can be extended while there for another 30 days giving you 90 in total. Or, go in on a free visa exempt for 30 days and then extend for another 30, giving you 60 in total.
hey daneger, with your favourite chicken, are you able to please share the name of the place you got it from? thanks mate
Hey mate - it doesnt really have a name from memory, its on Soi 11 or 13 and at the end away from Nimman road.
okay ill keep an eye out for it ! thank you
Hi I was watching your video I have a question ,I will be in chiang mai next moth I would like to find a condo apartment for one week . Can you tell me where I can go to stay please?
For only one week you're best option is a hotel or Airbnb only.
Hey guys, thanks for the video. What was the name of the place you've stayed in?
Nimman Palm Springs Parlor
Thanks! We'll be in Chiang Mai in a few days and I wonder if it's possible to rent this place for only one month.
Do you know by any chance (and what would be the cost)?
You guys are only staying in Chiang Mai for a month? So close... I'll be in Chiang Mai in mid March. Can't wait for Indonesia vlogs!
I love it in Thailand, but the heat there is no joke
Yeah its legit intense huh!
Thinking of moving to pattaya but I’ve been looking on how to get a job ad n registered nurse there but no luck as of yet
Chiang mai foam do 3 inch memory foam toppers for under 2000 baht, worth every penny! it's based on the 118 doi saket road
Good to know! Thanks.
You mentioned eating healthy....where are the vegetables and leafy greens! Hope you find the nutritious dense foods.
We eat for the daily macro balance to supplement training more so, veges can be tough to find in Thailand in bulk, when we cook they're always there though :)
Welcome back to Thailand. ^^
I recommend go to Chiangrai. There's plenty to see there as well.
Thanks, hoping we can make a day trip there!
One day trip wont be enough. Spend 2-3 days there. There's so much to see. For local it's second most visited city after Chiangmai.
Saw this first video of your. Your camera.quality very crisp.and.what gimbal you using, very stable.
Thanks so much! the gimbal we use is called my body... I take a LOT of time to make sure I keep them steady.
Your Welcome, how about the camera, what brand and model use to shoot your videos?
Hey Ocean Eleven - we recently upgraded and love the new rig. Check it out on Amazon here - geni.us/ourcamera and this is our go to daily lens - geni.us/ourlens
👍this is incredible! I pay $1,300 for a small place in miami
Dayyyuum that's insane :P Just uploaded a cost of living comparison that might be helpful for you: th-cam.com/video/jYQ46waY5oY/w-d-xo.html
Miami is expensive.
How long are you guys staying in Chiang Mai this time around?
As a travel commentators you should advise your viewer of the Thai law and condo house rules regarding renting condos. Airbnb ignores these laws and causes owner and residents misery. Airbnb should be banned! If I find any Airbnb in my condo you will be reported to juristic and removed. Book a hotel . They want your business private residential condos do not.
This wasn't even on Airbnb. Chill Bill.
Is there much in the way of two bedroom apartments in Chiang Mai? Are they significantly more expensive?
Yeah there is - often about the same price as this one but won't be as central as we are.
Cool, thanks!
Greetings from Singapore! I go Chiangmai every year 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So cool! HOpe you can get back this year
Yeah that chicken place is the best forgot the name knew right where you were. After a month in Thailand we got home and my bed felt like a marsh mellow Thai beds are so hard.
awesome apartment. so modern ! I love Chiang Mai, i'd totally live there in a heart beat.
Such a great place! Our cost of living video for Chiang Mai will be live in about 8 hours as well which might interest you :)
Awesome smile...
welcome back, If you come back to Chiang Mai around june. I'll buy ya'll dinner
Thanks Darren! Will be in Europe then - but enjoy CM.
Is there an American
community out there?
That's a pretty nice place for what you get! Still a lot more expensive than Vietnam haha. However, Thailand is such a nice place to live.
For that price you couldve stayed at Green Hill Place. Bigger aptartments
Hadn't heard of that spot before, looks good. Thanks for letting us know... availability would have been the challenge though when we looked.
I love the Chicken Rice place pretty much. From a Chiang Maier
Miss this place massively!! Send us some chicken to Poland?
Sure thing😆
How did you get all that stuff back to your apartment on two motorbikes??
We took the first load back at lunch time, then the second lot was afterwards :)
hello, how long did you guys stay here for?
Hey - 2 months in the end
I was just looking at businesses online for sale there and I saw this property for sale! They are asking a very good price..
No way? Wow - they have LOTS of customers and a great fill rate as well
I know you would eat out most of the time there, but I love to cook, it seems in Chiang Mai the kitchens are very small with not even a hob to cook on!
There is a dual hob there, it's electric though so doesnt stand out from the bench itself :) But yeah, when Pad Thai is 40baht its easier to eat out!
@@DanegerAndStacey oh ok thanks!
travel vlogers the rappers of the internet
Hope you like rap.
It’s common and easy to rent month to month and even if just one month?
That totally trumps a hotel! Or does it?
One month is tricky to get these days, but 2 or 3 is more common and in terms of costs and effectiveness it trumps hotels majorly!
Daneger and Stacey what’s the easiest way to look for apartments locally? Any good websites? Craigslist?
Locally is best - you can walk in the door and ask for long term accom
did I get it correctly? the beds are harder in Thai? that’s what they prefer?
Yeah - beds are super hard in Thailand!!
Daneger and Stacey try Vietnam. We stayed at a rental for 1 month in Nha Trang. Like bricks.
Is there any minimum period for the rental agreement there?
It varies - we managed to get 2 months, but they want 3 ideally
somebody's got moneyyyy! fancy apt, organic produce, and high-end coffee shop (my budget is crying)
Haha we don't always live that way, this is all expensive for CM. Not sure what was organic (we don't care about that) but good coffee and a good apartment to work from will both save you money going out.
Hey you guys, what is the name of the chicken place? We want to try it! Cheers!
Been asked a few times in the comments, but it doesnt have a specific name we know. Soi 11 or 13 from memory
Love seeing the apartments in other places of the world. Thanks for bothering to film this!
No worries, we've made a few different around the world
Hello.. Im from NY..
Mind sharing the name of the apartment building and the name of the chicken spot?
Palm Springs is the name - chicken shop doesnt have one in English, but its on Soi 11 or 13 off nimman
Didi you get a 60 day visa or will you be doing a visa run in the future?
Just the visa exempt, have extended for another 30 days easily enough.
Daneger and Stacey we had a 6 month visa but still had to leave after 60 days. My husband got very sick and had to stay 21 days at the Bangkok hospital in Pattaya. Are 60 day visa expired on the 4.of March on a
Sunday. On 5 th. of March had to pay USD $ 250. Next day March 6. Send us home back to Canada 🇨🇦.
So the Visa system stinks. Lucky Husband is ok. A good lesson people always by travel insurance. Lucky we did. Because it cost the insurance over 100 000 dollars. So always by travel insurance. Important.
Probably not the best time to hit Chiang mai. Burning season for 2 or 3 months.
Yeah its starting to get pretty rough now!
