WOW! Outstanding. I am looking forward to my retirement and Chiang Mai is where I have my sights. This was extremely helpful. Although i/ have visited before multiple times, as a tourist one really does not get a good sense on where one could live. Thank you very much and who know, maybe we meet in a bout 1 year.
Awesome video Tony, your video helped me decide where to look. I finally settled on a suburb of Doi Saket, just off of Hwy 121 and 1006. I rented a 3 bedroom 3 bath house in a quiet neighborhood for 22000 baht per month. I worked with Expat homes. I start Lanna Language on the 18th. I really appreciate your videos.
Thank you so much, sir, for this video. I can't imagine how your wife and yourself figured out all the way through from just a map. I respect that a lot. I respect it more that you are trying to help other people to have what yourselves didn't get. Appreciate that.
Thx for that, loved seeing Kad Farang again, it’s where I ride the bike in the morning to have coffee with a Norwegian friend and then again in the evening for dinner at the the food court..of course lots of other restaurants all around for that great Thai food so thx again for the evening interlude…. Kop 🙏🏻👍🏻🇹🇭
I know I'm very late to this video but I had been doing some digging around online for the NW Chiang Mai and yeah it looks really nice. Good condos I saw online there and a really nice Gym if that is important to you (GoGym Chiang Mai). Still waiting to make any big decisions till after I spend at least a vacation over in Thailand but it looks great. I was going to vacation in February next year but some personal factors have popped up so I'll have to postpone that enough 6 months or year. Thanks for the info as always and keep up the good work!
Awesome Video Tony, I couldn’t have come at a better time. One more week to go before touching down in Chiangmai. I really like the part about where to live and Farang market down south. Our daughter will be attending CMIS, for now I can only say north east but inside the circle or beltway. So I guess my house to be would be in the Doi Saket area. Not sure but will talk to you more about it later. Again, excellent video content.
That's wonderful. I'm sure a realtor could give you information on that area. When you decide to move, connect with Alice at Indigo Chiang Mai and I'm sure she will have lots of great info for you or be able to put you in touch with someone who would. She's wonderful! www.mychiangmaihome.com/2021/english/Home
Great info video! Very useful if I every make there. 🙏🙏 I'm bookmarking this one! Thanks for sharing! Ps: you kind of look like a young "Bruce Willis"...khop khun khrap.
Thanks a very useful video. I've been trying to figure out distances and locations and this has been the most useful and straightforward thing I've found so far. I do have a question: If a person is looking to retire which areas would be better? Especially if don't want to buy a car, want to be able to walk for some stores and so on. any advice is appreciated. Not planning to do anything for a few years so don't want to bother an agency yet.
Do you have any videos of your language school? I’d like to see some comparisons. I’ve been trying to learn with tutors and books. I’ve noticed there’s a HUGE difference in quality and methods. It’s felt disappointing and frustrating getting beyond the basics.
Thank you for this video. We arrived here in Chiang Mai a week ago and I wanted to see elephants but so far the cost of seeing elephants is a tad too high for my budget. Your video is so helpful. I will go and visit Elfin farm & cafe. Hubby and I would be keen to meet other expats and we'll be here in Chiang Mai until next year. Just wondering if there are any organised expat group in Chiang Mai that gets together for either Christmas eve dinner or Christmas lunch?
This a fantastic channel and I watch all your videos. I am looking to come over and I am a keen lawn bowler can you tell me which region the Chang Mai Lawn Bowls Club is please in relation to north ,south,east or west of the old city Thanks again 😊
Do you have a video about getting a thai driving licence and buying a car please? We have a UK licence and don't know if we can just exchange it for a thai one, or is it more complicated?
Hi Tony, this is exactly what I was looking for. Two questions which you might find meh, do Doi saket and Mae rim have markets and other amenities so that you don’t have to go to the city much.? Second, what’s your opinion on santitham and San Sai locales. Thanks for your informative and helpful videos, liked and subscribed!
I am a Caucasian westerner and will be in Thailand next month and am considering Chiang Mai. I will be with my primary school age child so will want to live near the private Thai school not international english school he'll be attending. I reverted to Islam a few year ago, is there a good area near a Mosque, halal food..?
FYI the word “farang” is for a Caucasian foreigner only. You cannot use this word for other foreigners such as Japanese, African, Indian or Native American etc.
@@barberism24 It is just a market name, like for example "English Market" , it does not mean it is only for English, the word "farang" can also be translated to Guava. If you know Thai language well you will know that farang means Caucasian and Guava, you can use Thai dictionnary to prove this fact.
It describes a westerner -- typically a European, but in more modern times also extends to Americans, Australians and South Africans of European descent. Though the origins are widely disputed, one simple way to think about it is the term "Francais" -- pertaining to the people of France... ... moreover, someone with typical European physical features. Some sources claim that it is Persian in origin -- a word used to describe the Franks (more broadly, people of Germanic origin). It's not (necessarily) derogatory. It is generally a neutral term... but, the tone in which it is said can be a clue. If used in humility and good nature, a traveler might even self-apply it. However, if expressed in the context of something like "farang khii nok" (literally, bird-shit white foreigner) it denotes a western foreigner -- a stranger to the land -- who is rude, pompous, self-important and disrespectful to Thai culture. ... don't BE that guy.
I say it again. This Chanel is the best in term find information about this specific area.
Thank you 🙏
This video is extremely helpful especially if you were planning on moving there or even vacationing. Way to go Tony!!!
Thank you 🙏

Straight to the point with valuable information. You make these videos about helping the viewers and not about promoting yourself. Thank you
Extremely helpful in knowing beforehand which area is for whom, thanks from Toronto Canada!
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you!!! 🇹🇭 😊

Thank you very much! Go Gym is very good as long as it’s not the smoky season or really hot. It is basically outside but covered.

Thank you for this video.
We arrived here in Chiang Mai a week ago and I wanted to see elephants but so far the cost of seeing elephants is a tad too high for my budget.
Your video is so helpful. I will go and visit Elfin farm & cafe.
Hubby and I would be keen to meet other expats and we'll be here in Chiang Mai until next year.
Just wondering if there are any organised expat group in Chiang Mai that gets together for either Christmas eve dinner or Christmas lunch?
Not that I am aware of but if I hear of something, I will post on here again.
We’ve just been to Elifin Farm and Cafe and we had a fantastic experience! Thanks again for sharing about this place in your video 👍🙂
This a fantastic channel and I watch all your videos. I am looking to come over and I am a keen lawn bowler can you tell me which region the Chang Mai Lawn Bowls Club is please in relation to north ,south,east or west of the old city

There are definitely markets that you can go to not a problem. On the second question I don’t have enough experience with them to know.
You have forgotten about Saraphi and San Khampeng in the south…..
I heard the government is going to build a new and bigger airport in San Kamphaeng. Is that true and if so when will the project start? Thank you.
I’m not sure 🤔
I'm going to Chang Mai for 2 weeks next month for my first solo trip, can you please recommend me a good hotel that's on or near the old city?
Well, the wife and I stayed a night here about a month ago and liked it. Nothing fancy but clean and comfortable. maleehotel.com/
@@TheNarrowGate thank you
Where can i view the
link to your Housing Agent. Thnks.
www.mychiangmaihome.com/2021/
Where do I live if I do not plan to ride a car or buy a car. I just want to go down from my apartment, get my coffee and do my food shopping?
Old city should be a good spot.
I am a Caucasian westerner and will be in Thailand next month and am considering Chiang Mai. I will be with my primary school age child so will want to live near the private Thai school not international english school he'll be attending. I reverted to Islam a few year ago, is there a good area near a Mosque, halal food..?
There are mosques and Halal food in Chiangmai. They even have a whole street with Halal food.
@@TheNarrowGate Thanks. Hope to check it out in two weeks!
Very helpful. Kawpkoon maak krap
FYI the word “farang” is for a Caucasian foreigner only. You cannot use this word for other foreigners such as Japanese, African, Indian or Native American etc.
So?
So it’s “Caucasian market”?
