  • Today, I'm on another adventure looking for a new apartment in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I'm thinking about moving just 15 minutes outside the city. This time, I'm heading to the Mae Hia district to check out a cool converted house.
    The price of the house looked really good, and everything inside was brand new! Shiny fixtures, fresh paint, the whole deal. ✨
    So, did I like the apartment? Could this be my future expat home? Watch the video to find out!

  • @johngagne986
    @johngagne986 3 месяца назад +2

    Nice and new Wayne but I'd feel very cramped in there. But maybe at that price it would make sense to rent both of those units and get a bit more breathing room and two bedrooms.

    • @WalkAboutWayne

    @Walt-ck5qn 3 месяца назад +1

    Hey Wayne! Nice quiet setting: agree with you that the place should be more "open". A definite flaw in the design/construction that could have been easily avoided. Wish you luck in finding a residence, location most desirable for a person seeking calm and serenity. Good health and safe travels!

    • @WalkAboutWayne

    I could live what the living space, just turn the low shelf to the side as extra storage and lean a table against it for work / dining instead. What would do me in is the bathroom; waaayyy too small and no divider. The gym is good value though especially for a 3 month membership, well equipped.

    • @WalkAboutWayne
      @WalkAboutWayne  3 месяца назад +1

      It could work, I could have done something with the place, but a little to small. Gym was a great deal, even in the daily 👍

  • @Deadfoot-Dan
    @Deadfoot-Dan 3 месяца назад

    For 6000 baht a month it could be your second home, you don't need much space in your second home, just a place to crash when you spend a weekend visiting.

    • @WalkAboutWayne
      @WalkAboutWayne  3 месяца назад

    More per month to get everything right where you live… I’m searching in the area where I live now..I will take 2 months looking…. And find a good place for a 1 year lease… happy searches….. I’m sure you’ll find a great place

    That room at Chanapat Hotel for 550 baht is real value. I remember paying that and even more in Bangkok at the Malaysia hotel well over 25 years ago and its room layout was pretty much the same. The first place didn't quite grab me whilst brand new looking too small. especially the front room. Top video as always Wayne. Cheers mate. 🤩

    • @WalkAboutWayne
      @WalkAboutWayne  3 месяца назад +1

    Yes, that front room was small.. Lots of stray dogs around those areasbig problem around there, packs of 20-30 running about at night. Ive just moved out of that area, on that road you were on brings you out at the hospital. Crazy you went down my old road. Plenty of shops and stuff in that area..Building a big 7/11 down there too. Dont want to sound negative but there are lots of old people in that area stuck in their ways, one of the reasons I moved out of there, weird vibes. I used that motorbike shop a few times, to be fare they made the problem worse. I wouldn't go back to them.
