My SUPER CHEAP $80 Apartment in Thailand! 

+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!

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.

+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!

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 :)

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

Yeah man it's not bad at all :) miss you too buddy

Haha so true

+Taylor you wish

@Taylor lmao keep dreaming

@Taylor Who is Beyonce? $7K per month is quite crappy, is it part time?

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.

+Emerson Nolan Don't bring an outlet adapter, all US plugs can be used in the outlets here.

Yes I agree it can be quite odd at first but I did get used to it after a short time!

+Blake Blackstone Maybe Ill make more videos on this topic - it seems to be getting a lot of attention!

+True Transient Yes please!

HOTDAMN that‘s a sexy rent price.

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.

Have you thought about commuting from Thailand to CA for work? You can save A LOT. Just saying.... :)

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.

+supervitallica Thanks homie

Excited for your journey. Thanks for watching!

Budget AT LEAST $250 a month...unless your fantasy "apartment"(sic) is akin to a dorm room or a Motel 6 hotel room. .Take if from someone who has lived in Asian for the past 8 years.

@@sdushdiu You like to complain

To each his own. Go for $250 a month and you'll get some place palatial.

Crazy right? If you'd like to learn how I found this apartment and others like it, check out my guide: truetransient.com/apartment

Santitham area

@@PatDaley 👍

This was in Chiang Mai. I'm not in Thailand anymore.

Yeah shoot me an email pat@truetransient.com

True Transient ... I love how you smugly responded. I too, am proud to be smug!

Yoo stop lol

+TheEcon20 80 dollars is not exactly an expense.

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 :)

This is a great idea. Thank you :)

yeah but its probably in central Bangkok and has a kitchen

A $4 tripod I bought in bangkok

+Cam Hooper and thanks for watching!

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.

I like how you could've asked me about those things in this comment but instead chose to criticize a stranger's video on the internet.

I like how you think that having the most important info about living in another country as a digital nomad should be found in random comments rather than the video.

All this time you've been complaining you could've asked the questions you needed answered. Seems like the complaining is more important to you. Hopeless..

Well yes, I'm making use of Internet's inherent means of delivering (in this case, very valid) criticism. However it looks like not many people can take it that well and instead resort to passive aggressive insults.

A/C worked almost too well

Exactly. Your view out the living room window would be that of the building next door.

Facts

I pay 650 for a room!

+Emerson Nolan I only have experience in Thailand so far, I've never been to Malaysia. Get a sim card for your cell phone at any 7Eleven (they are everywhere here) - Some apartments offer wifi included in the rent, sometimes its crappy sometimes its good. Laundry spots are everywhere here, very cheap (20 baht per kilo of laundry). I've never had an urge to hire someone to rent an apartment for me. You basically just walk up and ask the person in front of the apartment how much it is. I've waited a week to move in and I've moved in the next day at some places. I will be making more videos touching on these subjects as I feel like a lot of people will gain value from them.

Internet may be unavailable or worthless there. Electricity is a lot for AC when you live on top floor.

Thank u for your speedy response!
