    As a bonus, these properties are an easy walk to 3 of Chiang Mais best and very affordable gyms-Muscular Lair, Go Gym, and Hug Gym. If you are ever in need of a vlog idea, I think a tour of these and other Chiang Mai gyms would be a popular subject. I don’t think any other vloggers have done this, to my knowledge.

    7:14 spotted a nice squirrel or whatever wee critter it is just jumping off the powerline onto the 4 storey building opposite. Ahhh bless. It's amazing what value those rooms are. Makes me think that making a move there will totally be affordable for £1000 per month or less. Thanks Wayne

    • @WalkAboutWayne

      Probably a squirrel, they run along the lines all the time. One of the line exploded one day, because of the squirrel, we found him on the floor looking like toast. We had no electric for 2 hours . Yes, it’s still amazing how cheap it is here. Can find some right deals. Thanks mate.

      I've been here 6 yrs, for £1k you can live well, if you don't hit the booze and girls you can stay here for about £400 (not including visas) if you are careful and cook at home/ eat budget meals and don't hit the pricey restaurants

    Thanks for another engaging and informative video, Wayne 👍 The view of the brick stupa from the balcony at the second place was impressive. The room looked ok as well. If they catered for people visiting for a month at a time, I'd certainly consider it as a bit of a change from Nimman.

    Thanks for sharing! 25000 for a room? You can rent a fully furnished 1-2 bedroom condo for 6-13000 Bath or a fully furnished 3-4 bedroom house in the outskirt of the city for 15-25000 Bath a month! But that first room was a gem for the price despite the basic standard. I could easily stay there for a 6-12 months just to save up some money for a descent motorbike or small car. Or just to have enough money to travel around and have the room as a home base. There's always an option! 😊

    Ya some of those are quite cheap, maybe around $50-$75 if you speak Thai. No plans on going to Thailand until they go back to 90 days. Don’t think that will happen though until the war ends. They are trying to control the number of budget travelers from Far East Europe.
