Today I take you on an exciting virtual journey through one of the most expat-friendly areas in Chiang Mai - Wat Ket! If you're searching for a tranquil and residential neighborhood that has it all, you've come to the right place.
In this video, I’ll explore the captivating Market stretch of Wat Ket, which offers a perfect blend of serenity and vibrancy. Picture yourself strolling along the peaceful riverbanks, indulging in the scenic beauty that surrounds you. The area's quiet ambiance makes it an ideal destination for expats seeking a refuge from the bustling city life.
As I venture further, you'll discover an array of hip cafes, where you can sip on your favorite brew while immersing yourself in the local atmosphere. Rustic Thai eateries await, serving authentic flavors that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving for more. For those seeking a charming dining experience, the al fresco bistros in Wat Ket offer a cozy setting that transforms into lively bars at night, perfect for socializing with fellow expats.
Wat Ket is also home to upscale spas, where you can pamper yourself with rejuvenating treatments and find a blissful escape from the daily grind. Additionally, the area boasts small art galleries that exhibit remarkable artwork by talented local artists. If you're an art enthusiast or simply appreciate creativity, you'll find these galleries to be a haven of inspiration.
Whether you're a digital nomad, a retiree seeking tranquility, or someone looking to immerse yourself in a diverse and thriving expat community, Wat Ket in Chiang Mai has everything you need.

Well done Wayne. Another informative video that promotes the great city of Chiang Mai and its suburbs. Hope that wisdom tooth is now 100% buddy 😀

Hey Wayne, There's a little place there that does delicious Isaan sausage at 10 baht per stick. That comes with the usual cabbage, ginger and chilli. We did a vlog on that place a few months back. There is also a great fruit shake place across the street. Love your vlogs as usual. 😁

@WalkAboutWayne Год назад

Nice one guys! Great seeing you yesterday. Keep vlogging!!

@stevemahoney6493 Год назад

Had no idea Wat Ket went all the way out to the Narrawat bridge. I live at the other end, near the Nong Hoi market, in the Riverside Condo. Can't beat the location, hi way and Old City are a short jump away, as is Plaza 89.

@WalkAboutWayne Год назад

It's weird because Wat Ket starts half way over the Iron Bridge 🤣. Nong Hoi is one of my favorite areas, i love it down that way.

@stevemahoney6493 Год назад

@Walk-About Wayne I used to work in Lamphun and rented a condo at Riverside (2018). When I retired here last September I went right back there and found a great deal on a rental; 125 sq m right on the river for 15,000 b. Condo is dated but damn the view and location are perfect.

@tracy5454 Год назад

Wayne, I love this area a lot. This clip reminds me of my childhood when I went to the market with my mom after school nearly every day. Thanks a lot for this clip. By the way, another area near the British Council is also called Wat Ked where there are many interesting spots as well. If you have time, check it out. 😊 Take care.

@WalkAboutWayne Год назад

Hi Tracy, it's a cool area yes. The British Council is in the same district yes, just at the top end. 👍

Did I miss the map Wayne? Your positivity always shines thru no matter how hot it is. Is a new bike coming for the next travel series mate?

@WalkAboutWayne Год назад

Had to stop the maps mate, they are copyrighted by Google 😢😢. Can't use nothing these days. I've had to go back to leaving locations in the description. I'm thinking about taking another bike mate but it's a hard decision. Do I take Lucille or rent a bigger bike. I'm not sure yet .

@paulsargent2343 Год назад

What a Bobby Dazzler mate .Although I could live at most areas you've featured this one ticks most of my boxes . Maybe a little further away from city centre & closer to rural escape route would tick the last box . Good price on 1 yr old Aerox with 4170kms @59k . List new is 85500 I think . If you saw a new one advertised @ 65k I would be thinking of the old saying " if it sounds to good to be true etc etc " Really enjoying your district Vlogs Wayne .

@WalkAboutWayne Год назад

Nice one Paul! Wat Ket is cool but still in the city really yes. Depends on the Aerox also buddy, they do some different specs. The ABS model would be a must for me. I think the one i seen was ALMOST new. I really liked this one in the lady's shop though. Cheers man.

@Basman59 Год назад

Honestly 50 baht...x 3 150 baht a day for food - quids in as we Brits say. $5 a day for 3 meals...cant be bad. Love Wayne's videos the inside look at Chiang Mai - if not for the blistering heat...it would be a no brainer. I'd be wearing linen shirts and need 3 a day...40c I'm over that in Australia people what Wayne does in the heat is bloody hard - top bloke.

@WalkAboutWayne Год назад

Hi Steve, yes mate you could live on 200 baht a day if needed. You would prob need some fruit and a few other little things but its easily done. Chiang Mai is crazy hot mate, this year has broken records. I still hit the streets in the midday sun though. Thanks buddy.

@deanbenson9322 Год назад

Cheers from Los Angeles Wayne! Great vlog! Perhaps you’ve done a vlog about your total monthly expenses and I missed it. I’m moving to Chiang Mai in a year or so. I have an idea what it will cost me a month, but I always like hearing from people who live there. ✌🏻

I like that area. Nice hotels also. And just a hop, skip, and broke.,.uh jump from the girls. Anyway, I just met a young man who remembered me from a boxing club 5 years ago. He said I haven't changed. Just more " buffed" from the gym work. So still a "handsome young man" for the girls. They miss " little bobby" and my 3" long times. Tell them I will return. Forgot...C.M. looks like a new city in places. And the areas I missed that you have shown. So going to need some new boots for walking.

@WalkAboutWayne Год назад

Pai road isn't to bad, you just need to keep alert and don't take the hairpins to fast. Watch out for sand patches and gravel, break nice and early for hairpins. Go at a nice steady pace and watch out for crazy minibus drivers. I would go on a sunny day also, not when the road is wet and green.

Thanks for another district show. I took a shine to Hang Dong. Still my fav so far. Hope the ants go away. Are they in most buildings or is there a floor level where you don’t have to worry about ants anymore? Guess I’d get use to more insects quick.. especially with the better lifestyle over there.

Cheers mate. Hang Dong is a great area and the one Expats seem to like the most. I'm on floor 6 and the Ants are here, they will get anywhere mate. Once they get into buildings it's hard to keep them out but if you keep it clean, you can keep them at bay. Cheers.

Yes, anyone can play the Thai National Lottery. I looked into the lottery taxes and for the official National lottery the tax is only half a percent. I saw that someone else said the tax was 30% but I can find NO evidence of that anywhere. Maybe it's 30 THB and not 30%. I watched a video of an expat buying a lottery ticket and winning fairly big by Thai standards, and the tax was just 0.5%.
