+SpeaksIt I am not sure if there is a recording studio in Chiang Mai, but I do know that the city is filled with many creative people who are probably into music just like you. Also there is a sick jazz bar in CM that does open mics once a week.
hi Pat, the link does not work. I end up on your site, but it says the content has been moved or deleted. I really would like to know where this is you are staying at for 80$ a month. I am in Chiang Mai right now and I need to find a cheap place to stay for a couple of months. I'd be so greatful if you could tell me where that place is!
Hey :) here is the corrected link, sign up with your email and you will be notified when this releases. It will answer all your questions: www.truetransient.com/apartment
thanks, have just sign up. Is there any way though I could get a tip on that place you stayed at before June 16th....I am kinda looking for asap?
That's a room, not an apartment!
In apartment living there, landlords are allowed to charge you almost double what the actual electric bill is. I know it happened to me. Best bet is to rent a house, the landlord gives you the actual electric bill and you pay it yourself at a 7-11.
Cool video man, I'm doing something similar in Vietnam. Keep on showing people that there are alternatives to the 9-5!
+The New Travel Blog Thanks buddy. Where in Vietnam are you? I may be going to Hanoi within the month..
+True Transient Saigon. Thinking of heading for Hanoi myself in February or March. Definitely need to see the other side of Vietnam while I'm here. Keep in touch if you want to link up, always glad to see what other digital nomads are up to
yea dude i do the same in guatemala, i teach english online
@@ellishuebner5 Cool! Have you tried Cebu and Dumaguete, Philippines yet? I heard the dating scene is amazing!
This is not an apartment but rather an hotel room.
However @ $80 per month it's great value and looks safe and clean.
One can eat 3 meals per day in Thai restaurants for less than $10 so a kitchen is not necessary unless one is into home cooking.
Here in Europe a Thai Foot Massage is €60 per hour (c. 2000 Baht), in Thailand it's 200 Baht.
Corona Virus has caused Thailand to close down to tourists which has put millions of Thais out of work.
Hopefully there will be an anti-dote in the Spring.
Thailand Abu.
โชคดีประเทศไทย
Good luck Thailand!
What kind of videos can I expect from Thailand, when are you going to hitchhike again?
Some new interviews done here - Hitchhiking tip video I filmed in Chiang Mai - a travel video in the northern Thailand mountain. Filming a Hitchhiking trip in the near future. Thanks for following !
I'm going to retire in about a year and will be spending winters in SE Asia.. I've been to Phuket a couple times and liked it, but the visa requirements seem like they'd be a pain...
I think I'll use Cambodia as my home base for the easy visa, then just fly to Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Laos, etc..thanks for the video....I'll need to check out your other videos...
I've heard that Americans over 50 can get a pretty sweet long term visa
$80 a month great price I paid $9 a day for a cottage about same size in Khon Kaen
+Thai Wife on Ice That's dope
Even as an asian i must admit that 80$ is damn cheap for that kinda apartment
Ow, my heart. Missing CM so hard after this video. We lived here for 6 months and are aching to go back after our Seattle money stop where a 423sq apartment costs us $1200 a month! Any plans to go back there as well?
You should get a futon to sit on.
Who mutch if i want to have a kitchen ariea in the appartment (so i can cook selfs, and use owen).
Is Pizza hut, mc donalds and subway in this town?
(or are them onley in Pattaya and Bangkok?, but its expensive to live there 30 - 50.000 bath what i see when i seartch for "house for rent" and atlest 1 years lease)..
How did you find the apartments? Love your videos
How much for your other expenses like food, laundry, transportation, etc.?...
check out my chiang mai day in the life video
How's the shower pressure?
awesome. nice and cheap
We love you
Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for watching :)
Can I ask what this apartment is called? I am coming to Chiang Mai soon! Thanks :)
What city in Thailand?
You lived in your previous apartment for a month, but had to move out because it was the high season and a lot of places were full. That doesn't make any sense.
I was only booked for a month. All other months were booked up at that location ;)
Ah ok. That makes sense. I thought maybe you had to move out because didn't like crowds. Haha :)
Amazing how near the centre are you ?
Which part of Bangkok is this?
How much for internet? Internet speeds?
+Chris Rasch varies for each apartment - For this apartment there is wifi but it is really spotty due to low bandwidth. The other apartment I was in for $150 had great wifi though.
amazing apartament and amazing price hahah the only thing i find extrange is that most of them don't have kitchen?😂😭😭
There's no place for fun, excitment and adventure like Thailand.
+peaceful harmony Very true
great
Why say it in dollars when they charge baht?
+Bobby Crush More people understand dollar amounts
wow I'm paying $1500 for one bed room in the bay area California man
I'm moving to Thailand tomorrow hell yeah
thanks man see you there✌
Omg get out of the bay that's the biggest living scam ever lol! At least come south aha
1500 a month is more then my 3100 sq foot house in Florida....Mine is 1249$. You are definitely getting scammed.
You are lucky at 1500 a month for a one bedroom in the bay area.
yes so not lucky, I'm not stupid. Don't live in a place with a high cost of living and you can have a more enjoyable life.
BigD Travels High cost of living means higher wages. That's why I pwn property in the bay are. When you are doing well you can afford what you need to afford. So that is an enjoyable life.
How is the renting process? How much you pay up front? Contract length? Thinking about making the move
fucking amazing place for 80 bucks
OMG, $80 a month. That's is extremely cheap.
I would say this is a hotel style room and not apartment. No kitchen at all, even the most basic setup. Hardly would call this room an apartment :)
True. This is basically just a transient house, because it has no kitchen, no laundry area. You just sleep, take shower and nothing more, you cannot cook because there is no cooker.
+Lourdes Abuso I think the concept is that you eat out all the time because most people do. So many street vendors and small restaurants to choose from, you can eat there cheaper than making it yourself at home.
+shunkajun It may be truth, but irrelevant to the fact that this style of room could hardly be called an apartment, It looks more like a hotel room.
thai's and many other countries culture do not stay home much, staying home is a very american thing.
Ricky X, not only American, but European, Russian etc at least. ALL white countries can not imagine having an apartment without a kitchen :)
As of January, 2019 the rent here went up to $107 a month.
heyy may i ask the location of this place? I am looking for a place to rent starting next month in Bangkok... so.... it would be really helpful... thank youu
You can find this location and many others that may suit your budget in my guide: gumroad.com/l/thaiapartment
Change may is 14 hours from Bangkok
Chaing mai
Bangkok is a little more expensive than chiang mai, when I stayed in chiang mai I paid around $250for a nice room/apartment for a full month and around $50 for wifi, water and electricity totaling $300 for the month. My room did have a stove top cooker and microwave however I rarely used them as street food and restaurants where so cheap most of the time they where used to reheat some leftovers or some packet noodles and snacks etc. It is a lovely country with friendly locals and I cant wait to go back to chiang mai.
I thought it was $80 per night. That would be the right price for me. $80 per month? You've got to be joking. But then again, after I've watched the video, I don't think I want to ever stay in a place like that. But it's nice to know that you can crash somewhere for that price.
This video does something very important for me as an American. There's opportunity, and there's value out there, not just that country but in the world, and even in pockets of America. I sometimes pigeonhole myself to thinking in tunnel vision. Thanks for opening my mind a little bit and seeing the huge opportunity. I haven't seen huge opportunity and value but I haven't really looked hard and in the right places.
I know that one can indeed call these minimalist rooms "apartments, but in fact they are little more than a Motel 6 efficiency or a dorm room with a small efficiency - read counter - called a kitchen.
Most who are not simply 20 something and serious about actually relocating an establishing a home think of a more substantial apartment as being something akin to a living room, defined kitchen (not simply a gas burner!), bedroom, second bedroom or office, and maybe some sort of utility room in addition to a defined full bathroom. \
And this is NOT what these videos talking about "apartments cheap" are talking about!
When I travel alone. I'm like you. All I care is to have a very clean, quiet place to stay. I'm ok with basic as long as is safe, quiet and clean. I don't like the shower/toilet concept at all. And I would like a small kitchenette. I've seen nice apartments for 200 a month that look like any small 1 bedroom apartment from the US. The only difference is that it's 1300 in the U.S and 200 in Thailand. I wanna stay for 3 months. No more than that.
I know why you woke up at 11:30. I miss Chiang Mai. So many great bars...
Haha so true
I cannot live there without a kitchen. The kitchen is my living space. I am italian.
I cannot live there without a laundry area to wash my clothes
+Lourdes Abuso People will do your laundry very cheap there, like 40 baht ($1.10 US) a kilo.
lol
Really. These are simply hotel rooms rented by the month.
Myriad New Age millennials without jobs or significant skills out marveling at massage parlors (oh my!) and fantasizing that SEAsia is vegan.
You could pay an extra $30 and get one with a kitchen if that's all you're worried about
yep $80 Apartment and the rest go to massages happy endings lol 5555
Have you thought about commuting from Thailand to CA for work? You can save A LOT. Just saying.... :)

WTF? A graphic designer that get's paid at least $80 a month?! That's strange...
+Taylor you wish
@Taylor lmao keep dreaming
@Taylor Who is Beyonce? $7K per month is quite crappy, is it part time?
This looks like an $80 apartment...........
To each his own. Go for $250 a month and you'll get some place palatial.
So sick
Wow, No frills and nice, clean and looks safe.😊
David Bond you said 80 per month, what of water,elec.,gas ?? Do more in depth in your videos
Barney Anderson, they rip you of with this bills. No choise, pay or they call police.
D
what bill? I think you have your people missed up
David Bond Get well soon!
I wonder if its still possible to find 80usd rent per month in Chiang Mai nowadays...
Amazing. Tell me about your background with digital design and elaborate on what you do and how you got the job. I'd like to pay 80 a month and do artsy stuff.
+Blake Blackstone Maybe Ill make more videos on this topic - it seems to be getting a lot of attention!
+True Transient Yes please!
2:46 Pretty crappy view..I was able renting a mobile home for 250$ in FL not so far from beach with rather better outer view. Why don't you live someplace close to beach?
Why do you think everyone wants to see the ocean? And he's not sitting in front of the view, he can go wherever he wants... Plus everything in FL is overpriced.
love that apartment for its kind of, like, simple~ feel. like even the view... not all that great. but it's got that cinematic feel you get from like, pen-ek ratanaruang films. or maybe even that kind of wong kar wai's Chungking Express kind of mood.
Bro, get a little portable stove and you're set. $80 a month it's too good.
600 dollars in the USA won't get you something as nice as that
Livin the life! Don't need much when you have such a great surrounding. Not only the cheap apartment but the food is amazing and usually about $1 for a bowl of street noodles. You should do a series on different street carts! Miss yah bro
Yeah man it's not bad at all :) miss you too buddy
I'm thinking of leaving the States and moving out to Thailand. what items do you recommend as far as electronics, power sources etc
+Emerson Nolan Don't bring an outlet adapter, all US plugs can be used in the outlets here.
I'm a 40 year old Canadian and I want to start living in Thailand for 6 months out of the year, snowbirding you could say, any advice for a fella who wants to live there for half the year and volunteer? Thank you kindly :)
Check out "backpacking with banger." He works 6 months of the summer in tourism in California and travels Asia for the 6 months of the winter.
Hi, your $80.00 a month, does it include electricity ?
electricity Pay yourself
IT is. Very funny. People, not understand why there is No kitchen
Enjoyed, living on SSDI, in the USA. 60 Year old man lost everything. Will I, make it starting a new life.
Yes, of course. +3 meals a day and a massage per month :)
HELLO, NICE $80 DOLARES MENSUALES A MONTH
I WOULD'VE TO GO TO THAILAND
I LOVE YOUR VIDIO
I LEARN A LOT
Those puppies are cute now but when they're "no longer cute", they'll just be dumped or abandoned on the street.
Location and which building address.
Where is apartment exactly? Electric, water, Included? Great rate! Deposit? I assume this is a predominantly Thai neighborhood, not many foreigners. 👍🇨🇷
Santitham area
@@PatDaley 👍
I want to see the apartment! Not you for 5 min.
lol
he is an ad, you have to watch it!
I'm impressed with that area you showed. Looks fairly clean and orderly (I've been to thailand).
I lived in Thailand and stayed for like 7 years in this kind of apartment. Could save up loads of money.
Where is your Laundry Area located?
Where is that place located i am moving to Thailand soon and I need a place to live
Is the cost of living in Chiang Mai less than pattaya or bangkok?
Yes. My friends in Pattaya are paying $150/month on Jomtien Beach. By Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok my friend is paying $212/month for a NEW apartment that has a gym and pool.
Thanks for sharing, I like your videos
That sucks that you don't get free motorbike parking, wifi, and a balcony to dry your clothes. In Phnom Penh, Cambodia a beautiful fully furnished apartment with free parking, wifi, and a balcony is $115/month.
i expected a shit hole haha good find dude
So you can have housing there for the cost of my phone bill? I could retire tomorrow!! ... well just about
I just saw your video. It's nice. A friend of mine Tony retired in changmi. Hope someday we can catch up. Till then. Bye
$80 a month?! How is that possible.
ikr
i thought it was a day
It's about normal 40-80 us accommodation three star
A month
That's totally possible. When I worked in Penang, Malaysia, a country to the south of Thailand, I rented a furnished 3-bedroom apartment for around $200-250 a month. It came with furniture, a stove, washing machine, TV and fridge, although they weren't top end & had been well used. And a car space. Malaysia's also more expensive than Thailand.
Thanks for this video. It looks great there! Can you tell me what visas are required to live/rent an apartment in Thailand?
That place in NYC would be $2000 🤷♂️
Exactly. Your view out the living room window would be that of the building next door.
Facts
I pay 650 for a room!
bro I think I stayed in the exact same room after you left, 2nd room from the emergency stairs on the right side facing the exit. I was there in 2017 summer. This place was amazing I miss Thailand. Are you still in Thailand?
It's very basic, but you pay for what you get and it is well worth $80. If you are willing to pay about $150 a month you should check out PP Condos they have modern rooms with partitioned off areas for bed so it doesn't seem like a studio, and an area with a sofa and flat screen tv and also a full modern kitchen, some of them are really smart for the money and they do have smaller rooms for similar money to what you pay now.
nice...I currently live in Japan...I am retired military...I could live like a king with my salary...
So you are on a super long holiday in Thailand? Not working, just living there for a while for fun!? hahaha I mean that's cool!
thanks for sharing info, well it is so cheap
your building looks pretty clean and your studio is nice , if you put a small round table and four chairs you can invite some nice people for a drink or tea and make new friends 😎
ps:i personaly saw SHITHOLES studio in New York , England and Paris between 800-1500$ .....
So, can you live there 365, year after year? Ten yrs ago I rented a room in downtown San Diego, CA for $540. Free cable TV and sink, furnished - but bathroom in the hall - dorm style, but it was cleaned everyday. No view. I like your room better!
No balcony though .That would be a deal breaker for me .That was 4 years ago ,but rents have gone down since then if anything but the Baht has got stronger .I was renting a similar place around the same time but 10 km out of town in Sansai (N.E. of the old City ) for B2,000 a month with balcony .
The ladies who perform the massage have NO training. They just wing it. Some do ok but cause serious pain when they try to apply pressure to ligament or bone close to the skin. In the US a masseuse would be prosecuted for that. If you’re young it’s just pain. If you’re older, sick or injured the injury can be much more serious.
I’ve never been there, but soon I’ll be visiting bolly Indonesia, and also Thailand. If I stayed for let’s say a year, is there places to buy a bow flex, do they have gyms, I’m thinking about a one year vacation to get my health in check, lose weight. My bissness is very unhealthy. But I make bank. Oilfield trucking company of 8 trucks.
zup Pat =)
We are thinking about moving to Bangkok, do you have any tips to where we can find nice cheap apartments. And what about work? we are both working in the hotel industries.
how long do you think we can survive on 7000 dollars without income?
We love your videos,
Thanks in advanced
Folks you will be very hard pressed to find any apartment in Thailand for less than
5,000 or 6,000 baht a month.....I am not saying its not possible but Thais love cheap
decent apartments,and when they find a good one they hang on to it....
I am just saying don't think it will be easy to find a super cheap decent place....
Bro, it is 2020 i see places that r insane with like pools, gyms and even breakfast included on airbnb for like 150-300 dollars per month. It is unbelievable!!!
Wow, looks like a dream cheap HOTEL ROOM. I just assumed when you said "apartment" that it would be an apartment, so you at least could make some simple meals.. But nope :)
Although apartment can mean a room or set of rooms, yours is really just a room. No kitchen. Good value but people get tired of this after a while because they want a separate bedroom and some cooking facility. Having the shower over the crapper is a pain. Electricity is usually about double the normal price. If the room is cheap then you will find Thai people living in the same building who usually don't have much money and can be very noisy and scruffy. Frequently a married couple with kids will live in a room and they leave the door open with music on because they don't want to pay for the aircon. OK for a while but begins to get on your tits eventually. Seeing a foreigner using the 'laundromat' is a look down on you for Thai people. You are deemed to be a poor fucker and a Cheap Charlie. Don't befriend any of the locals, especially the men, and don't drink with them because they will find out what you have and then steal from your room when you are drinking with them. Don't trust them. They don't want to know you, they just want to relieve you of your valuables. Be careful walking in small sois at night in case you are mugged. It doesn't get reported in the press but the Thais get to hear about it. If you speak Thai like a kinder of junior school kid level then they think you are a twat. You are new to Thailand. Be careful.
this is a typical high low end room for rent. the low low end looks the same but is 20 years old. they average 2000-3000 baht equal to 60-90 dollars. they are usually short time stay meaning 3-6 months. most are workers in the local area as welll as collage students. no kitchen but the local area usually has street food 24-7 as well ass 7-11's everywhere. definitely not middle class.
How much per unit of electricity? Some places can charge as much as 10 to 12B per unit it can add up if you use the aircon allot. I pay 7B, an average in my area seems to be between 7 and 9, I end up paying about 30 to 45 dollars per month.
$80 worth of Money
if kitchen it also there and I have to pay $120 a month even not bad.
He forgets to tell you that if the fridge and a/c are running he pays at least another $50-60 a month for electricity and probably pays extra for water fee as well........................so the $80 a month is misleading.
For everyone thinking no kitchen is a big deal, it really isn't. You can eat street food for about the same price as cooking in Thailand. There is no reason you cant buy a cooktop, rice cooker, electric tea kettle and a little folding table. When you can squeak by on hundreds of dollars a month and never have to go to a job small sacrifices will become insignificant. Spending your days at a park or a beach or with a lady friend or getting massages is what you should consider. The room is just a place to sleep, shower and get out of the rain.
Is it Bangkok? What neighborhood? How did u find this apartment? English speaking newspaper ? Thank you
Rent a house better. You can find 2 bed house for slightly almost what you are paying but you really need to speak a little Thai. Dont go for a bugalow, find a 2 storey house and sleep down stairs, dont need aircon, just some bug spray maybe.
Could someone please provide me with advice on how simple or hard it may be to become a teacher in Thailand and what type of certifications I may need. I do have my degree. Working on my Master’s
Your money goes a long way in Asia, I am currently in Phetchabun, staying in a lovely hotel for $100 per month all in (no food)
Hello brother, how are you doing? Thank you for that information, but which area are you living in? And what is your advice to someone who wants to come to Thailand to work, and what type of visa he /she have to apply for ?
Don't be so hard on yourself. Your not a transient. Your a single, smart man. I am retiring to chaing mai soon. If I'm single I will go for cheap rent. If my gf comes with me I will go for luxury
Name of the apartment building? Is water and elec included? Any extra fees, basically. Nice vid by the way.
I am totally impressed that room and price convinces me ad I live in an vehicle in seattle and feel like a 3rd class person plus a criminal of course they think I am poor well I would rather spend my money somewhere else and not get profiled if you are homeless they don't want you here maybe I can get the city to buy my ticket to changmai thailand?
