- I'm going to show you, in a nutshell, how you can find the ideal Chiang Mai condo for your family in ONE day. Are you ready? Leggo.
Everything you've heard about renting an apartment in Chiang Mai is probably correct - it's easy as 1-2-3 and you will most likely find your new home within a day of searching.
In our case, as we were traveling as a family of four, we had somewhat higher standards when it came to finding the right Chiang Mai rental - we needed a few household items that most travelers without kids could probably do without. Plus, we were in Thailand, we wanted to live it up a little - so, a little luxury didn't hurt nobody, right?
So, if you're looking for an apartment in Chiang Mai, Thailand, then these are the 5 best tips that we can give you coming from our own recent experience on our trip to this stunning mountainous region in Thailand.

If you are super cheap like me, you pay 2700baht a month and stay at up north garden inn. Walking distance to Maya, perfect location. Also when I was there they were getting stricter, the international licence had to have motorbike licence stamped otherwise got slugged with the fine. Think it depends who stopped you on the day.
Great to know! We will have to make sure before our next visit!
Thanks for all of these super helpful tips! We are transitioning into the digital nomad life and have been thinking of Chiang Mai as somewhere that might be cool to live next year. Getting an apartment in such a foreign country does seem daunting, but you make it seem super easy! Who knew that had such fast internet though?!
We never considered Chiang Mai before. But your video has changed our mind. Thank you, guys. Very well made video and very informative:)
Thanks for the nice feedback and support! hehe you won't be disappointed with Chiang Mai. A Wonderful place.
This is such a great video, really informative, thank you! I think the rule about taking photos makes sense no matter where you're renting! :)
hehe that's right, always make sure to cover yourself.
Wow! Really it was very informative
go ahead and carry on,waiting for you on next video
hahah i love the hidden action figures in the background! also this was a really fun vlog! those prices for that condo is definitely more affordable than what I'm paying now😭 I need to move there haha
Although your channel's focus is for families, I find as a single retiree who likes culture and not the nightlife to be one of the best. So many channels seem to emphasize SE Asia nightlife to much which is not of much interest to me at the expense of the cultural things to do. Thanks again.
Thanks so much for the comment Zhu and thanks for watching =)
Living as a digital nomad is one of my dreams and Chiang Mai looks like an amazing place to live. You guys were lucky to get that opportunity.
I love Chiang mai! Kao Soi is a total fav of mine :) Chiang Mai people are really nice and honest I found! I'm not really of family size for an apartment, but this seems like a great informative video for people who are!
mmmm Kao Soi! you could totally find an amazing apartment and cheaper if not a family. Thanks for the support!
easy peasy lemon squeezy lol love it...not bad prices for a nice condo!
Great video - thank you very much. I am here with my wife and we will start hunting tomorrow! Thanks again!
Thanks so much for watching! I hope it helped. All the best with your apartment hunt! Have an amazing time in Chiang Mai!
yes international drivers license is a must 😀 - i got booked in bali haha - 350 usd for a studio is decent - for a month is reasonable
lmao i just realised there is an iron man hiding behind the pillow hahah
is changmai internet speed better than australia haha - i love google maps because you can mark stuff - i always do for all my country trips e.g restaurant, sight seeing place :)
really great guide for long term stay there ☝️😊
tsk tsk naughty boy nick haha! Did you also see the captain america? we were wondering if anyone would notice lol Keep an eye out for more random background things in future =P Thanks for the support Nick!
haha - i was going to mention that captain america.. but with the bokeh.. i wasnt sure if it was hawkeye haha
Thanks for the info. I am planning to head over there in early to mid 2020. I will revisit this video for a guide to my apartment hunting. Thanks!!
This was fun following along with you! I love looking at different places and seeing what is available in other parts of the world. :)
hehe you're a true explorer! thanks for watching!
Great tips! We really want to visit Chiang Mai and will definitely be looking into an apartment so we can stay longer.
Thanks Very informative and strait forward.
That's amazing! So useful for people who are looking for the perfect rental! 😍 it was so enjoyable to watch! new subbie, I hope we'll stay in touch! :)
what great tips! would love to live in chiang mai!
Nice video - though you can always take the hassle out of walking/driving around and just contact a real estate company like Perfect Homes and they will show you around.
How much cash should you have when you get off the plain? Is there a way to use a bank account in Thailand? Don't like the idea of having Large sum of money on me.
Hi there! There's ATMs at the airport by some of the major banks in Thailand which you can use, but you'll probably have to pay a fee depending on your bank at home. Otherwise there's also plenty of currency exchange places at the airport. I always recommend exchanging to local currency when you arrive because the rate is usually better than exchanging in your own country. As to how much you'll need to get to from the airport to the city... 1000 Baht will definitely get you by. The ATMs at 7 Eleven Convenience Stores (which are everywhere) are also safe to use and we've withdrawn from there plenty of times.
I'll do more research. Just need to know so when I get to town is to have enuf for a couple knights and book an apt. Food and transportation. I did find out that if you can get a bank of Bangkok account in Thailand you can use the routing number for their branch in the U.S. to transfer fund from a U.S. bank to the new York branch and not get dinged and with draw in Thailand. Need to nail that down more. Would like to get a Visa for longer than the 30-90 days to take my time. I also heard there's no more VISA runs anymore.
Another valuable video! Thank you!
Thanks so much and i hope it will help you if you go visit! 😄
I'm sure we'll end up doing some time in Chiang Mai at some point so this is really helpful for us. I thought the electricity was pretty cheap. Our electricity in Australia is over $250 per month. I think we're getting ripped off in Townsville.
Great to hear you can find this useful! I believe the whole family would really enjoy Chiang Mai. whoooa $250 is a lot per month! I think it's more reason for you head to Chiang Mai asap haha
chang mai is incredible. thank you for the tips :)
Great thoughts, we really love renting home /condos, esp. thru VRBO. It gives us the space we love with kiddos but at a great price. However, guides like this are even more important if you are talking more than a week lol (like we usually do) ... we would love to live in chiang mai!!!
I haven't heard of VRBO, but will look into it. We also love having the space for kids to play around and also do some cooking for budget. Chiang Mai is fantastic. Have you been there before?
@@HangryByNature No but it's high on our list. Vrbo is like airbnb if you are familiar with that, but it is only whole units/homes (not ppl just renting out rooms), works much better than hotels for us
good video I'm subscribing look forward to more travel videos.
You caught my attention already by mentioning "digital nomad". Good tips on the rental of scooters, I might want to try that out when I'm visiting Chiang Mai. From what you've covered sounds like everything in Chiang Mai is dirt cheap, I would definitely want to stay there for a month or two to live up that digital nomad lifestyle. Thanks for the tips!
Are you heading to Thailand any time soon? I was actually super surprised that their internet speed was ridiculously fast in most places (like, 20x faster than Australia) and not to forget... THE FOOD! Freakin' incredible.
Nope but I will definitely put this on my list. But yeah Aussie Internet speed is very slow compared to so many other countries - they really need to step up their game. I can get over how good the food looks!!
Just an fyi... I found out on my last trip that grab is illegal in Thailand...it can carry a 25,000 baht fine...be careful if you use it. The fine has to be paid before you can leave the country.
awesome video, great tips, i love Chaiang Mai...thumbs up!!!
Awesome info, thanks for sharing! You deserve way more subscribers 👌
Your gonna get fined either way
Thats for sure
Thanks fir the info
Awesome video! Very helpful! Thanks!
I plan on retiring to Thailand. This was very helpful!
Very good video. I look to visit Chiang Mai later this year or 2020.
Thanks for the great info! 😃😃
You're welcome! hope it helps! 👍

Hey Hangry, been excited to watch your video! Yen and I are definitely going to follow your footsteps with Chiang Mai. Yen and I are going to live there one day soon too hopefully. We love how affordable everything is and this is seriously the best informative guide i've seen on Chiang Mai on TH-cam. Can't pronounce the area where you stayed but it looks good! 900 us for a 1 bedroom seems pretty reasonable. Liked all the tips on how not to get scammed too. Bookmarked! I'm really curious do you guys work as well while travelling?
Aww thanks, guys! Sometimes I reckon our videos are just too much blah blah information overload, like, I fall asleep watching our own vids. Means a lot! Yeah, you can find much cheaper than $900... I've seen people find apartments as low as $100 per month. But then again, you'd have to drastically lower your standards. We enjoy a bit of lux ;) We work on our blog for the most part, but mainly when we get the opportunity to slow down like in Chiang Mai or back at home. Otherwise it's impossible with kids jumping from one place to another.
The music is so loud under ur video, hard to listen to u! otherwise, I like it
Thanks so much for the kind feedback :) Yeah, we misjudged the volume of the music in our earlier videos but we've adjusted it better for our more recent ones. Thanks for watching!
Tash says team Ironman! haha. Awesome information thanks, as we have not been yet, but it's highly likely we will end up there at some point, haha. Kids standing on the front of scooters blows us away, we just imagine people trying to get away with that back home, bahaha. And here in Vietnam you can tell the family scooters, because they have a little pillow on the dash so the kid can take a nap while they are riding around😂
haha Leon which team are you with? It took us a while to build up the confidence letting the little one stand at the front of the scooter but seeing so many locals do it, it wasn't so bad lol he loved it too!
What kid wouldn't love it! Haha, I watch them here thinking, "Man I wish we had got around like that when I was a kid" i envision all these scooters zipping around NZ with little Kiwi kids standing at the front giving each other the head nod and eyebrow raise as they roll past, hahaha. As for what team I'm on, seeing as you don't have black widow back there, I've gotta go with Cap's team just to mess with Tash, haha.
Hope we get to visit some time in the future it’s really beautiful there ❤️🥂
wow, this looks like an incredible place to visit!!
Loved your Video, very informative. I loved the Ironman and i take that was Capt America on other pillow.. It seems Scooters is the way to go..
Thanks! lol scooters are just so convenient and cost effective.
good information but I sure wish youtube had an option that allowed you to mute stupid annoying background music.
Interesting video. Lots of good tips
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you much for the info
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Nice organised video.
GREAT Video!!! A+
Thanks!
Excellent. Thank you. ❤️💕🇺🇸
Ha ha! I like those action men poking out from behind the cusions!
hahah something different =P
hahah something different =P
Loved Nimman, had a cool vibe!! Enjoyed Old town too. Ziplining in the jungle was awesome!!! Are you from Aussie? Ahhh nevermind I just heard you say it 😂
Ooh we didn't get to do the ziplining... next time! Yeah, we're from Australia haha. Where are you from?
Hangry By Nature Kiwi here 😂 Loved that you are living the dream with your fams!
awesome video !!!
Thanks for the tips! Do they offer 1 month leases there?
Thanks for watching. They do offer 1 month leases. That's what we did.
Very interesting and helpful. Thank you. Can we rent for only 1 month?
Hi and thanks for watching, you can rent for as long as you want. Generally the longer you stay the cheaper you can negotiate the rent 😀
How did you actually go about finding them? Is there a website or some other resource, or are you just going up to places and seeing if they have vacancies?
You can find them online on google search or apartment rental companies etc. Then, when you get to Chiang Mai you can go up to the place and talk to them directly. This way you can negotiate and get a feel of the place in person too.
Dope video, thank you.
Thanks! 👍
@@HangryByNature You're welcome love. 😗🍺👍😃
So I know in the states they are weird about renting a one bedroom for 4 people. We have two boys and really would rather not pay for a two bedroom. Do they have any regulations about how many people to a room?
Thank you for the information
Hey - thanks for watching! In Thailand - not at all. They didn't question about it at all. It's quite normal to have multiple people in a 1-bedroom, or Studio even so you won't have to worry about that :)
The prices for rentals you quote are way more than other veteran ex-pats quote for 1 bedrooms and studios. The 28 Baht for water sounds high. I guess Nimmen has inflated quite a lot. The landlords you have to watch out for are the Australian and other westerners. They won't return your deposit. Stick to Thai owners. Watch out for Westerners, they will scam you as much as anyone.
Yeah, I think we also went to 'touristy' long-term apartment rental places. You can definitely get much cheaper, but we were pretty happy with our apartment which provided a lot of kid-friendly facilities. I suppose Nimman is also a hub for foreigners and expats, so that's probably why it's slightly dearer overall as well. Oh, that's good to know! I actually have no idea where the owners of our apartment are from, we only dealt with the admin/reception person. Thanks for the tips!
I really can't look at this video, even if the content seems great. Can I just ask why you choose to have the annoying background music volume be just as loud, or even louder, than your speaking voice?
lolll thanks for the feedback, simple answer. We were really noob when making vids. Our more recent one have improved in that area i think. Cheers
@@HangryByNature Great then I will check out some of the more recent stuff! Sorry if my comment came across as harsh. Keep up the good work!
I would add the first thing to do is to get a sim card at the airport. Very important!
Normally first thing everyone does these days! You are right.
You're cute
Too much MSG and pork..deadly
"Digital Nomad" this term is so cliche, so overused!
agree!
