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
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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 😀

Thanks Peter! Yep true, always seems to be something new to see!
Very well thought out video. Not the usual tick box pros and cons video. Lot of thought provoking information here. Nice one Jon lad 🙏
Thanks mate!

Thanks! Yep, in a few weeks the air should be perfect (fingers crossed :))
asking about liking 100 percent makes a difference. keep up the good work
Yep it seems to have done by a huge margin on this one!
Great video. Thanks.
Thanks :)
Planning to do the Mae Hong Son loop by bicycle early 2025 on my next visit, was too late to do it this year.
Wow by bicycle good luck with that. I did it on a motorcycle in 2012 loved it
That sounds amazing! I think it would take me a month to do it by bicycle :)

Thanks mate. Yeah the work thing is a difficult one, teaching is something many people do but also working online is very popular.
@@jondcanton I take it that is what you do, online work?

You always should ask to like the video. People forget. Always remind them.
Yep, it seems to have worked :) Thanks mate
You are the man, Jon.
Thanks mate

Do you think these transaction prices are honest?

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

Ah that's a shame, I think you get used to it after a while, I've very rarely had an issue in 18 years.
'I like the video'! Test complete.
Thanks mate!
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?
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...
Yep, the pizza hut in Thailand is nothing like actual pizza hut, so much sugar!
i liked the video because you asked! 555
Thanks mate :)
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 😀
Yep, agree on the immigration and traffic ones!
