Having No Contract would be awesome to stay rather than having to rent an expensive airbnb. It would give you plenty of time to find where you really want to stay for those looking to relocate to Thailand. That is really helpful.
Hi Wayne. I stayed there in SG residence a few years back. The place was good but Jed Yod doesn’t suit me. Apart from the narrow streets with no footpaths, the place is a pig to get out of if you want to go into the city or elsewhere. You used to be able to drop down and out onto the superhighway, and u turn but they blocked that off a couple of years ago. So the only way out was to come out and down suthep road to the Maya traffic lights…. Bloody nightmare! 😂
The lack of paths are a nightmare in Jed Yod but it's an ok area. I went out the highway way mate. yes, I had to go to near Lanna Rama park junction and back down Chang Phuaek. The Huay Kaew road way out near Maya isn't to bad though, I normally go that way. Nightmare in rush hour though, I agree.
SG Residence reminds me of the standard hotel room set up and when you convert 7,500 baht a month to a daily rate then 250 baht a day is a steal, at least half the price than the very average hotel that one stays at generally for the very short term. The second one at 9,500 baht again a steal at around 300 baht a day. Well worth staying at one of those if hanging around CM for a month. Both places appear very quiet too. Thanks for putting these places out there Wayne. Handy to know for sure 🤩
3 in 1 by definition has sugar. It's one of the "3" that's already in the powder. It's instant coffee premixed with cream and sugar. I had same issue in Malaysia. All they had was 3 in 1 and was hard to find ground coffee to make myself.
Nice work,good price for a short stay. Just curious,do you come across many snakes or poisonous spiders on your travels in Chiangmai or other areas ? Where have you found the most wild dogs around ? Have you ever been to Maiaek Gardens ? Seen some old videos on RUclips, looks like a classy place
Thanks! I still haven't seen a snake in Thailand but they're around. I don't see many spiders either. Soi Dogs can be a problem outside of the city. They have took alot of dogs off the streets inside the city but the dogs rule the city at night. South of the city is the most I've seen, they run in big packs. I don't think I've been to Maiaek Gardens, so maybe I'll check it out soon. 👍
Bannom's original branch is over on Ratchamri Road (Santitham) - I used to live practically opposite it. That Bannon is their 2nd or 3rd branch. Cool menu and selections though :)
There's a good gym round the from where you started, Mayan Gym, 50bt a day, also on their carpark is Echo Burger, beef cheeseburger and fries, 115bt, excellent value.
Good video Wayne ,lots of accommodation choices ,agree with you ,walking in road is dangerous You did the right move, leaving the uk ,our culture is slowly disappearing Thanks
How do you pay for rent in Thailand as a US Citizen? It looks like it would take me some time to get a Thai bank account. So do I need to find someone that can go with me (like a lawyer there) and get a money order with my contract? Super excited to finally be seeing Thailand for the first time!:D
You can pay by cash, scan or bank account. It's harder to get a Bank account these days, I would recommend using an agent. I hope you have a great time in Thailand.
@@WalkAboutWayne Got it sir. I saw your cam in inside the hotel room's mirror. Thanks for sharing. Let's do more for various parts of Chiang Mai like Suthrep.
@@WalkAboutWayne Very few,even Opera that is good trendy bakery is 40 or fifty bath. Niman,I do not know as I go only to eat in Why Not and seldom. There are the places where I pay the coffee thirty bath,never saw for twenty.Only one for 25 near Som Peth
@@WalkAboutWayne Know the places,but I do not mind to pay 40 or fifty bath for a coffee around old town and in old town. Even to pay 80 bath is the place is nice and can relax with wi fi. I like places like Opera,Ban lai bakery that will be open soon and his brother has another bakery between Loi Kroh and Tha Pai gate road. What CM needs more places with good sound and I like deaf shop even if am very old but still in funk,soul and house music. My fave area is Around Chiang Mai Gate and around Smith even further down.
@@nightrider12soul Sure, nothing wrong with 40 or 50 baht coffees. I went somewhere for 90 today. I normally like my 20/30 baht places but like a higher end place if meeting a lady. Great area around the South Gate. I've got a video of that area coming again soon.
But Chiang mai is far away from Bangkok. I am looking for a budget friendly place to stay in Bangkok for a month. could you please help me to find a place to rent in Bangkok at that price range being same spacious type of condo within same price range and without making any contract and without paying any extra advance rent besides paying for a month rent which i am going to stay during my trip
Hi, lots of great Bangkok Vloggers on RUclips. My channel is based mostly in Chiang Mai. I’m not the best to ask about finding the best deals in Bangkok. Thanks
Ideally would like to stay just outside but near to city good transport link and quiet location Could you mention about keeping a property at home and living in Thailand if it’s not too Personal Wayne because that’s what I intend to do.
Wow looked up this residency 29-10-24. Shot up to 2,500 aud a month which is over 55,000 a month Oh my lord…. Not happy days. All because of Loi krathong Terrifying prices 🥹 Keep em coming 🙏
🤣🤣 What would you expect looking for a hotel at the end of October for Loy Krathong month mate 🤣. Way to late for looking. Places are in major demand for November. This place will always be dirt cheap any other times. Just wait until after Loy Krathong and get it for 7500 baht again. Always plan further ahead than this for Loy Krathong mate. Crazy looking for Loy Krathong hotels now. This place is a bargain with no contracts, just plan ahead or wait until Loy Krathong is over. Never book long term stay here online either, it will always be cheaper coming here and looking. Happy Days buddy!
@ Wayne I am one of your most ardent viewers and subscribers. You sound a bit grumpy I have a residence in saraphi just like you. I don’t need a place and I am fully away that prices get bumped up during high seasons being songkran and Loi krathong. I was making commentary so some of your viewers can be aware that prices can go up 10 fold during this period and can possibly help out some people planing. Thats all Have a lovely jubly on and keep em coming 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@Patatovski Grumpy? why would I be grumpy mate? I thought my comment was chirpy🤣 it sounded like you was looking for a room there and not happy with the price. All good buddy, I know you're an ardent viewer and really appreciate you on the channel. I get so many messages it's hard to keep up where people are and how the comments come across. I didn't; realise you lived in Chiang Mai. Oh, and I don't live in Saraphi mate. Cheers buddy.
@ I truly apologize Sometimes you can’t pick the tone with an sms. I owe you a coffee Again my apologies. I love your vlogs and your style. You never leave a stone unturned and advocate for Chiang Mai in the highest order Keep em coming 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@Patatovski I apologize mate, sometimes I don't read the comments right and it was early morning, my eyes had just opened. I understand what you was saying now buddy. Yes, it's hard to know the meaning behind a comment sometimes. I appreciate you on the channel and you always leave great comments. Thank you mate, I'm lucky to have subscribers like you.

Yes, it would be perfect for that. This place is a good deal for no contract.
Nice find on the month-to-month rental! Just what a newly-arrived farang needs, while looking around for a place to settle down for the long term.
Yes, perfect for that. 👍
Great vlog Wayne. Thanks for showing us around 😆👍🏼
Thanks mate 👍
Another winner Wayne! Great info. Thanks mate for sharing this one.
Thank you mate 👍

Nice one Wayne!
Thanks Kirsty 👌
Hello Wayne happy days, have a good weekend
Hello Julie, happy days! I hope all is well. Thank you!
🤣🤣 no way wayne goes to my new part of town ! i just moved in around jed yod .cool area full of young folks !
have fun wayne !
Nice one buddy, I'm sure you'll love it around Jed You. Happening place. 👍
Good video nice rooms 😎👍
Cheers Box 👍
Looks ok WW & a nice wander - Thanks my friend ✔️👋👍🙏
Nice one Ant.
Jet Yod means "7 peaks" as you can (or once could) see 7 mountain peaks from that area. Nice place and good video! Thanks
I have heard about the 7 peaks before and the mountains. Apparently Doi Suthep looks like a sleeping lady also. Cheers.
The Thai word for peak and Jade are very similar, my wife (Thai) has always said its Jed Yod, seven Jade.
Top man 😊
Nice one Gary, top man buddy.
The 7500 condo looks adequate for short stay . Looks busy there with the usual trip hazards . Nice walkabout thanks mate
Yes, the no contract and short stay is the major selling point of this place. Cheers buddy.
Jed Yod, Chang Peauk. My old stomping grounds. Was there for about 4 years living at JC Hill. Awesome community but agreed it's hectic!
I looked at JC Hill many moons ago, nice place. Yes, it can get very hectic in Jed You. Thanks.
Nice work,good price for a short stay. Just curious,do you come across many snakes or poisonous spiders on your travels in Chiangmai or other areas ? Where have you found the most wild dogs around ?

Nice one mate, I think I know that gym 👍
Are you going to show the new place? 😊
I can’t remember this vlog Linda, sorry. I think I was looking for a new place for myself ?. I wouldn’t show where I live normally.
Nice cheap rooms mate I signed a year contract on my Bangkok One even if I am away for a few months still dirt cheap
Yes mate, I'll probably do the same if I'm away anytime. Just keep the room.
Morning Wayne!
Good morning Mark. Hope all is well 👌

I prefer no sidewalks instead of the obstacle sidewalks with all the holes,like you see so often.
True, I don't know which is better mate 🤣
Heard you do not eat sugar, very good man !
I try to cut down as much as I can 👍
I am curious you shot your video vertically but convert into 16:9 post processing? Did you use a stabilizer to shoot?
No mate, I shoot in 16:9 and I just use the GoPro on Tripod stick, no extra stabilization.

No comment mate 🤫🤣
80 bath is lot for coffee.
Yep, my coffee shops are normally 20 Baht but the trendy ones can be as high as 100 in Chiang Mai 👍
@@WalkAboutWayne Very few,even Opera that is good trendy bakery is 40 or fifty bath.

Coffee, beer and fresh produce is much cheaper in Vietnam
Yes, I would agree with that. I wouldn’t say much cheaper but coffee and beer are definitely cheaper in Vietnam. Depends where you want to be I guess.
@@WalkAboutWayne Thailand is still my favorite country Better jobs in Vietnam

Hi, lots of great Bangkok Vloggers on RUclips. My channel is based mostly in Chiang Mai. I’m not the best to ask about finding the best deals in Bangkok. Thanks
What’s the best way to stay in Thailand for 3/4 months a year?
Visa exempt. You don’t need a visa. 👍
@@WalkAboutWayne ah apologies I meant regarding accommodation.
Look around for places like this buddy. Short term rooms do still exist, just need to ask around 👍
Can get a 6 month lease price for 9 months except Nov Dec Jan.
Ideally would like to stay just outside but near to city good transport link and quiet location
Could you mention about keeping a property at home and living in Thailand if it’s not too
Personal Wayne because that’s what I intend to do.
Not sure what I could talk about that. I'll give it some thought though buddy. 👍
I have a property in UK and rent it out via an agency, and live in Thailand full-time, it's quite straightforward.
Be careful walking! 😮
???
@@WalkAboutWayne The area didn't have sidewalks . 🙂
No pavements on Soi Buakhao either lol
I remember! Pattaya was like life and death anywhere I walked 🤣🤣
@@WalkAboutWayne Yolo!!
Donuts:) ?
Mmmm Donuts 🍩
I think I'll pass mate, looking a bit old and run down.
I've put your name down for a month mate 🤣
@WalkAboutWayne Lol..I wouldn't put my dog there
Really? SG isn’t a bad place buddy. especially without contracts. Not bad at all 👍
@WalkAboutWayne ok..I'll believe you when you move in 😆😆
@@thehammer3340 Alot worse then this around mate.
Depressing balcony views.
Not the best view in the world.
I wouldn't want to live there. This isn't the good life we all look for in Thailand.
