great rooms, and the second one was beautiful, i think they hadn't quite finished it because they supplied coffee and cups but no kettle🍵🍵🍵 the food in the Thai/Chinese place looked really nice and a real bargain! i also loved the menu written around the walls, very novel!
@tonymatthews2344 The room is beautiful and cheap. Strangely, there was no hot water kettle. The second room is not fully air conditioned. We need to buy a table fan. in sitting and working Both restaurants There are a lot of foreign customers, the price is not expensive and it is in a good location. Thank you for your comment, have a nice day😊🙏
£10 a day is a bargain for that. Ideally they'd find you a sofa, and I'd like a shower curtain and an induction hob and job done! Wish I was there, rather than here, dodging pot holes 😉. Keep it up Rose. 🌹👍
@johngalt6708 Yes, if they find a sofa it would be great. You are right bathroom curtain And what we didn't mention is that the air conditioning in the room is not thorough. Air conditioning only reaches the bed. For the table near the TV, we had to buy a desk fan for a friend to work with. Thank you very much😊🙏
Thanks for showing us these apartments. That $125 room could easily be spruced up and furnished better. Could you hear your neighbors through the walls of any of the condos/apartments that you have stayed at in Chiang Mai or elsewhere in Thailand?
(Dave typing) 100% agree. We often prefer older units as they offer more space and almost always better value overall. Interestingly, the times that we have heard neighbours through the walls, it's always been in newer buildings... In the Nimman & Me room in Chiang Mai, we did hear our neughbour's music a few times. (And we stayed in a modern room in Chinatown, Bangkok and could absolutely hear our neighbour on the phone after midnight! 😭) That said, I suspect it's not just the building, it's also the luck of the draw with who is your neighbour (if you have one at all -- many condos are not occupied 100% of the time.)
(Dave typing) Hi Robert, if you're retiring to Thailand then I'm sure youre doing thorough research. If you asked me for any advice,I'd say that don't buy or take a long lease anywhere too soon: rather, spend a month in each of Hua Hin, Pattaya, Chiang Mai to get a "boots on the ground" opinion of what might work best for you. You may also like to spend some time in Bangkok (although we find it too busy for long stays) or somewhere in the countryside should you favour a quieter, non-city life. I do know that a lot of gents also really enjoy the Philippines (I can't advise on this location yet) and Vietnam (Da Nang is particularly liveable). Enjoy the journey, and do let us know where you decide to settle?
