Great video, been living there for the past 10 years. Takes about 30 minutes to get near the center of chiang mai but its only a straight main road. Not many farangs but lately the past couple of years foreigners starting to buy up properties here. Can buy a 3 bedroom 3 bathroom new detached house for around 3 million in a quiet road
I appreciate these walking videos! SanKampaeng seems nice! Good to know that there isn't major shopping in the area~ I'd probs drive into the city at odd times to avoid traffic? Looking forward to the Mae Rim & Doi Saket videos! I also consider areas that are flood prone with regards to choosing where to live!
I always watch video about place in Thailand which visited by tourist. Watching this video make me know that actually my country, Indonesia, looks much similar to Thailand. The city, the building, the road. Very similar. :D
Just came back from motorcycle ride yesterday, Mae Wang all the way to Samoeng and finished through Mon Cham back to Doi Saket / San Pue Loie where we live,, let me know if you want to go on a ride..been here since 2017
Nice, sounds like a good ride! Yeah I'm hoping to do a few day ride but not sure when yet, my last ride when I did the Mae Hong Son loop there was too much rain so I'm thinking when rain season is over :)
Says that’s not chasing mai province - Phayao Province, does that province not have a main city? I think I’ve to that hot springs b4 it’s really cool you can rent a room with a huge bath tub and got streams of the springs …
I choose live in San Pu Loei because living in the City is tiring and wore me out because of the traffic and noise. I do 80% of my shopping at the market in Bo Song and the weekend market located at the 121 & 3013. I only go into the City once a week to a temple and to shop at Big C extra on my way out. San Kamphaeng is probably my next stop when my lease expires. Thanks again for the video, I like the walk and talks.
As currency devaluates gold prices appear strong, the time to buy gold was when the currency was strong and gold was relative to currency a good buy. The best time to buy gold is when the dollar is more valuable, but no one wants to get rid of currency when its value is high, but that was the good move...
good to see the good ol walk and talk so im arriving in chiang mai in about a month and was wondering if you have any suggestions on a hotel that is clean and cheap that I can stay at for a week or so while I find a condo/apartment . I was staying at Number 4 Old Town last year, it was great. Just want to see what you think. Cheers
...these goldshops - always red in color - are a bit a myst for me. May be one day you can lift what goes on behind the door. I see narrow bid/ask prices displayed and know they have their own kind of gold standard (investment) and never any global standard bullion coins...
They do 96.5% gold here and yeah the spread is very low. If you buy Jewelry you would pay the gold price + a small making fee. Thailand is a great place to buy gold imo, the investment gold you pay an even smaller markup.
