    Great video, Pro, I like the fact you can walk down a street 20-30 times and see something you missed the previous times. Exploring around is amazing. Con, is the heat for now. Cheers

    Very well thought out video. Not the usual tick box pros and cons video. Lot of thought provoking information here. Nice one Jon lad 🙏

    Great video!! We really enjoyed Chiang Mai last month, and we want to go back - rent a place for a month or so and explore. Just NOT during burning season.

    Planning to do the Mae Hong Son loop by bicycle early 2025 on my next visit, was too late to do it this year.

      That sounds amazing! I think it would take me a month to do it by bicycle :)

    Love Chiang Mai - first time visiting Thailand last November! Absolutely loved the country - Going back again this year! Wish so much I could live in Chiang Mai such a great place - But what could I do for work as a Uk citizen? Any ideas? Keep up the good videos @Jon In Chiang Mai

      @@David-yx4on I have a job here which is kind of online but I need to work from an office. Getting jobs in Thailand is doable, but it depends on what you do.

    fazwaz keeps (and posts) a record of any property bought/sold through them. Not that I think using such an agency is required.. but it's at least 1 data point being made available.. so props for that.

      Do you think these transaction prices are honest?

    • @jondcanton
      @jondcanton  8 месяцев назад

      Ah yeah I've seen fazwaz, will have to look at that in more details, but as @carstensanonym7527 said, prices are very often fiddled to help people get mortgages they shouldnt be able to get and for other reasons :)

    As always great video. I don't know why but your videos are more ASMR sometimes. I'm still looking for where to move in the future. I've checked houses are from 70 000 USD to infinity .. not to bad, to be honest
    Thai food is great and maybe once/twice a month treat yourself with western food .. and you are ok .. I mean they have Mcdonalds and Pizza which is already more than enough to calm down your hungry lingual papillae
    I've liked the video. Cheers.

      Thanks mate! Yeah Chiang Mai is a great option to move to, but many places in Thailand are good as well :)

    Point 1 and five are similar, about food. Tell me would you eat Thai street food that’s been sitting out in 42 degree heat for 5 hours
    I did and was constantly sick with the runs for 4 weeks even though I was drinking bottled water. Destroyed everything

    • @jondcanton
      @jondcanton  8 месяцев назад

    In terms of the natural landscape you missed an obvious one - a con. A lot of people are drawn to Thailand's beaches which is an no no in the North. Could be a deal breaker for some?

    • @jondcanton
      @jondcanton  8 месяцев назад +1

      Ah yeah, I never thought of that, to me the beach is somewhere to go on holiday not to live, but for some yeah they need a beach ;)

    Cons in food is the sugar they always add. Even western food like pizza taste more sweet then normal...but of course this isn't CM specific...

    • @jondcanton
      @jondcanton  8 месяцев назад +1

      Yep, the pizza hut in Thailand is nothing like actual pizza hut, so much sugar!

    Cons I only have three...I agree smoke/smog is the big con...But yes its only months. My other con would be Immigration & that lasts all year 😂 Final con would be traffic. Pro's too many to list 😉 Which makes any con tolerable 😀

    • @jondcanton
      @jondcanton  8 месяцев назад

      Yep, agree on the immigration and traffic ones!
