Man, I’m gonna save $20k and just disappear to Chiang Mai for a year and focus on enjoying my fitness and training. Just ceebs dealing with corporate australia atm. Hoping $20k will be enough to live a frugal life of just training, eating and learning a bit of Thai (Ed visa)
Yeah I can imagine - Australia is pricey! The cost is really all based on your lifestyle but for training, eating and learning, Chiang Mai is totally doable!
Hi Sanjay! I'd say the best time to go is November-January. The weather is hot but dry and no rainy season just finished. We were there in February and there was a lot of pollution due to the burning season so I won't recommend that time.
Great video! Thank you for sharing. With the international license, can you purchase your own scooter and drive around? Or is that only good for rentals?
My pleasure!! :) with the international driving license you can rent a scooter, but I’m not sure you can buy it. I would ask directly to a local seller to have a better understanding
Ciao! Ho fatto il visto turistico all’arrivo e l’ho esteso di un altro mese andando all’ufficio immigrazione - li trovi nei maggiori centri tipo Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket. Puoi stare un max di 2 mesi, poi devi uscire e rientrare per avere un nuovo visto.
@@joyoushapes Ok We are traveling between Mexico and Argentina for a few years before heading back to SE Asia. Currently we are in Nicaragua. Here our total bills run about $1100/month and we don’t budget at all.
@@joyoushapes But what I don't understand is how your food cost was higher in Chiang Mai than in Kuala Lumpur. I stayed 1 month in Chiang Mai and am currently in Kuala Lumpur. I find that KL is generally 2-3 times more expensive than CM. In some popular restaurants, food could cost less than 1 dollar in CM, here in KL I haven't found anything even close to that.
@@sirinongorur5676 so interesting you say that, I found right the opposite haha! KL to me was cheaper than CM! I also have to say that I ate a lot of western food in CM - soo good!
