Join me as I venture just south of Chiang Mai city to my top pick for a new home: a charming, laid-back town located only 15 minutes away from Chiang Mai, Thailand. I’m looking to move out of the city center in the coming months and this area has always been my favourite, but is it still my first choice after today’s visit?

Joy and I live in Saraphi, Wayne. It is nice and quiet. Especially as we are several minutes from town. We give you the thumbs up to move here and join us, 555.

Thank you for the approval 👍

Nice! Thanks Wayne that Le Chamonix was pretty cool & selling fast!

@WalkAboutWayne 2 месяца назад

Cheers Mike. Yes mate, that place will sell out in know time.

@seanmiller598 2 месяца назад

Great insight into the many cool places around Chiang Mai. I'd be inclined towards some of the surrounding hill/mountain area's, there's the benefit of cooler weather but perhaps a bit to quite for many, also Pai area is fun with lots to do.. .

@WalkAboutWayne 2 месяца назад

Pai is ok for a few days. Still gets super hot in the day time. Cooler mornings and evenings though 👍 Thanks

Good trip, Wayne! I like this area but I AM happy to stay in Chiang Mai itself over by Chinatown Market near the Ping River! Thanks for another great video! Cheers from Home #1: Cape Cod! Looking forward to returning to Thailand later this year! 🙂

@Earl_Richter 2 месяца назад

Nice one, Wayne. I always like a good Saraphi vlog because it's where I usually stay when I'm in Chiang Mai. I have to admit, I haven't seen a vlog where things looked that deserted since the Covid days. Still nice to see some familiar places though. Hope you do night time walking street vlog there soon.

@WalkAboutWayne 2 месяца назад

Cheers Earl, Saraphi is my top place around Chiang Mai. It was very quiet about on this day, but the heat here is crazy at the minute, so that had something to do with it. I was the only crazy one out. I’ll be doing the walking street soon 👍

@user-fe1jg3gs8l 2 месяца назад

Nice video thanks Wayne . My friends in Thailand are complaining about the heat. They stay out the sun during the day . Maybe same in this town. Restaurants are a necessity. I found buying ingredients and cooking worked out more than eating at the Thai food markets. I guess vlogging you have go live where you can find good vlogging locations.

@WalkAboutWayne 2 месяца назад

Same in every Thai town, about the Heat. You still see people around in most places though, everyone still needs to work. Yes, cooking at home would be cheaper, but it’s so cheap to eat out . Cheers 👍

@WalkAboutWayne 2 месяца назад

Nice one Keith. Inside the moat would be a lot quieter then Central area, for sure. I couldn't live in the old city, but it's a prime spot for getting around. Cheers.

Wayne, do you visit Pai and is the weather cooler at such a high elevation? Awesome place to visit and lots of farang, surprised it does not get more attention.

@WalkAboutWayne 2 месяца назад

Yes, I have loads of vlogs from Pai in my channel. A lot cooler in the mornings and evenings. Blazing hot during the day. It's not a bad place for a visit. Lot's of people always heading to Pai.

On the same trip. But, I think I will stay in the west. Nicaragua/Guatemala/ Yucatán. I am a j with three little ones and my kids can travel easier and cheaper with kiddos. I always dreamed of one day going back and stay in northern Thailand. Life is what it is. I start my journey in July. Best wishes on your final decision!

@craigj4979 2 месяца назад

Just came from there 32 degrees nice sea breeze made a change from the 42 extreme heat that you cant even go out in really. I think all round hua hin is a good area to retire

@Deadfoot-Dan 2 месяца назад

You can tell you are a long time resident of Thailand, you can walk around on a sunny day in the 40's and not break a sweat, I would be soaked thru. If you want the quiet life, Saraphi fits the bill, but it doesn't tickle me goolies, personally.

@WalkAboutWayne 2 месяца назад

Yes Dan, it's normal for me now, my body has adapted over the years. I will feel the cold big time, if I ever leave. Saraphi is definetly not for everyone mate. It's still my number 1 area in Chiang Mai. But we all have our favorites and they're all good areas for different reasons. Cheers mate.

Wayne, how long have you been in Thailand? Have you seen some/much/any inflation there since you arrived. Thanks in advance for your answers.

Alongtime now mate. I never see much inflation in Chiang Mai or in the north. It's crazy how cheap street food is still 40 baht. Many some things go up a little. But it's all nearly the same as when I first come here many years ago.

It does but its not pronounced the same way. 'P' referring to someone older has a higher tonality, whereas "p" that refers to ghosts has a lower tonality.
