The Most Underrated Area of Chiang Mai Thailand

Today, I'm taking you to one of my favorite areas in Chiang Mai. It's a bit different from the rest of the city. You won't see many fancy condos or modern rooms here. That's why not many tourists or expats come to this area. But who knows? Maybe it will be the next big thing! What makes this place special is its local feel and super cheap prices. You can find an older Thai-style room for a very...

If I had to choose between BKK & Chiangmai, I’d choose the latter, although I love big cities.
Perhaps you could make a video pinpointing why exactly some people like Chiangmai, in preference to one of the seaside locations, or BKK? It would be interesting to go into the details of why Chiangmai is such a draw for people like yourself.
Chiang mai needs some infrastructure funding, its hasn't changed since I first went there decades ago. Some walkways would really help there, thats just not pleasant walking in the traffic.
My mate is going to Chiang Mai in a week so I recommended he watch this. Nice one Wayne. Cheers buddy.🤩
I stayed there on hols. Walked & Songthaews. Would it suit a retiree with a pushbike? Or could you recommend another? I like the quiet. Cheers mate.
An electricbike would be fine?
@@carlosenrique7591I hear they catch fire.. 😁
Are my messages coming through?
Was in Patty last week unbelievable quite which I love I know low season but haven't seen it like this since COVID
First 😂
Almost 20k subs Wayne Great , you could make a FAQ video it ll be cool.
Cheers dude, don’t want to count my chickens, but hopefully we’ll get there. I will be looking at doing something soon mate, maybe a Live stream or something.
PREFECT FOR ME TAKE IT MATE. GOOD PICK. IF YOU DO WANT IT I WILL TAKE IT TAKE CARE MY FRIEND
Just a bit too small for me buddy, it was nearly perfect. Very cheap place though. I do believe it’s been taken, but always worth a try. Thanks
nice duplex house but youre right, living room is too small, if it was double the size then it might be good
It would have been nearly perfect if it was just a bit bigger, or made into a studio.
Happy days WW - plenty of variety young man ✌️👍👌😃🙏👋
Happy days Ant, mate 👍
Too small room mate.
Yes, if it was just a bit bigger I would have loved it.
I see you were 'Touching down" in my area of ChiangMai today beside the 7-11 and you were grabbing a coffee or Tea😃 Im the guying who yelled out to you this afternoon'WALK ABOUT WAYNE" waving lol. I see you are almost hitting 20,000 SUBS..Congrats!! I look forward to more of your content..😉
Nice one Jay, I’m guessing it was you who said hi, going into Ping Condo. Thanks buddy
Is it on par with your condo mate a little small for my liking are you still riding black beauty
No mate, my place has more to it than this. Sold Black Beauty about 2 year a go.
Hi Wayne, may I ask how many different rooms/condos have you lived in since you’ve been living in Thailand? I’m interested to know how many times you have to move so far. Thanks mate.
None, I've lived in the same place ever since I arrived.
The first apartment was a bit boxy but in a quiet area and economical. Most of the time you’re not there so space not so much of an issue. It’s private too. Nice room for 550 good for short stay . I can get similar in Phuket for 500 without the view. Nice accommodation review. I’m battling with the areas you mentioned and locating them at the moment.Thanks mate 👍
Yes. It was nearly perfect for me but just a little to small. The hotel was great for 550. I should have maps for the areas in most of the videos but let me know if you can’t find anywhere. Cheers
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.
It would be great for that Dan. I spend most of my time in Chiang Mai though, this is where I live, so only looking for 1 home. It would be a great second for someone though. Cheers mate.
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. 🤩
Yes mate, the hotel seems to be a winner with people already. 2 people have messaged me saying they booked it. Shame about the converted house, everything was good but just needed a bit bigger. Cheers mate
Not enough room to change your mind, liked the area though
Everything else was perfect , just needed a little bigger space. Thanks
I think rocket travels pad just on the outskirts of Hua hin for 6000 amonth is the ideal Wayne.
Nice , Rocket is a top guy, seen a few vlogs. Lots of deals everywhere, just about finding that perfect one.
That house sucked bro. Too small and clostrophobic.
It would have been better as a studio, for sure mate. Little bit too cramped.
Excellent video ...thank you sir . Welcome to our country ..
Thank you my friend 🇲🇾
We stayed 9 month at Crystal place, also just by HD road. Cross the road was the parking to Airport Festival plaza and about 15-20 min walk to the airport. No pool or gym but we really liked it! Hope you find a new nice place👍
That’s great! I know that place. I’ve never been inside though. Thanks
The Landlord wasted a lot of space putting up walls. Should have made the space as a studio and only closed the bathroom.
Yes I agree. Make it a studio for sure .
Wow mate that is lovely Wayne that living space is small but you have a kitchen bedroom it’s a nice place
If it was a bit bigger it would have been great!
Another Bobby Dazzler bruv......I'm living vicariously through you...keep it up Wayne!
Thank you buddy 👌
Happy days, enjoy 🙏
Happy Days mate 👍
I live out in Ban Tawai, we bought out house so don't have a rental fee, but I admit I like to be cool at night so I use AC when it's over 25 degrees. Like you we live a simple quiet life but being over 55 I pay less on visas but more on insurance. However our monthly spend is about 20,000 Baht, that's for me and my wife, who is Thai. Nice to see a video of someone who, having lived an everyday working life in the UK, can appreciate the simply life here. Good luck to you.
That’s great! Thanks for sharing. It’s another example of living g cheap here. I like the Ban Tawai area and still not to far from the city. Thanks
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.
That’s good to know, thanks for sharing. I really like that road but good to hear from someone who has live there. I can relate to the bike shops also 🤣.
@@WalkAboutWayne Yes, I like the area and its close to town and lots of other stuff. The dog thing is out of control there, I tried to do things to help but it was a struggle, Ive taking 2 dogs in. I still go back everyday and feed some of them. Hope that info helps, never experienced an area like that before and I lived in a few areas. Im in Nong Hoi now, quiet but nice.
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.
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 👍
Was looking to come for a month later this year that hotel would be perfect, could just book it before we come job done. Very modern and tidy, thanks for showing it. All the best !
Nice one, a lot of people are liking that hotel. It was a nice room for 550. Very clean and not to far into town. Thanks.
If you put some rubber bands around the phone holder, it won't rattle like that, respected brother ❤
I’ve got about 5 hair bands on there already 👍. Didn’t pull them over.
how much if wanna buy that flat
I’m not sure it’s for sale, but it would be very cheap.
@@WalkAboutWayne half million ??baht
Maybe a little bit more
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!
Cheers Walt. Yes, it would have been nicer if it was a studio and open space.
Little duplex ok, similar to Sunny Days little mini apartments, but think Sunny days has bigger rooms
Yes, I would say Sunny days is bigger than this place. Older but bigger 👍
Found a 2 brm 2wc 120 sqm house you might want to look at in Saraphi.5500 B.Exactly 1 km from Saraphi walking street,road opp the bee school.First white house on the right opp rice field. Faz Waz
Nice, always up for seeing places. Send me the link in IG. Cheers
Instead of doors they should have put in wide entranceways to open the space up. Maybe she would be willing to change it up a bit?
Yeah that could work. I think she wants it rented asap. It’s probably rented by now.
glad you never took it.Pokey all right.Every man and his dog in the street would be using that pay washing machine ,right outside your window
Yes, a lot of people would be using the washing machines.
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.
It was very tight space, it would have been good as a studio, or like you mentioned, just keep it as one house.
Just move to pattaya you know you loved it
🤣 it was definitely eventful in Pattaya, that’s for sure mate. I will be returning at some point 👍
550 I'm in when I go that's fab man quiet to...😎
Good area and nice room for 550 👍
@@WalkAboutWayne oh yea be in there for sure did it have a cooker? Can't remember lol
Great. Tomorrow you reach 20000 subscribers. Be proud on you and your work and goos Karma. Congrats, well done !!!
Doubt it tomorrow buddy and don’t want to count my chickens but hopefully we’ll get there soon.
Enjoy your journey of life mate chok dee 👍
Cheers mate 👌
Wayne I’ll buy you a coffee!. Let me know when?.
Happy days mate 👍
Hi Wayne, They should have made that a studio room, and it would have been perfectly. Great price in a good location though.
Yes, it would have been better as an open studio for sure mate. Yes, price and location was ideal.
<$200 is amazing. You'd never find anything in the US for that, let alone the cleanliness and quality, or area. This is why Thailand / SEA makes sense for people trying to achieve financial independence.
Yes, it’s still amazingly cheap when you compare it to the west.
That place was really small… she split it up trying to make more money… I’m sure you can find a place with a bed bath small living room and small kitchen… probably with a pool and gym…. Look at condos…it’s worth spending a little 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
It was abit to small. It would have been great if it was just a bit bigger. Looking to get away from condos mate, although I do still look at condos. Cheers buddy, I’ll find my perfect place one day 👍. Good luck with your search.
£15 a month for the Gym is great! Great selection of machines and weights too! How many times a week would you be using the gym?
That gym was a great find mate, only downside was no aircon. Great place for 700 baht though. I go gym 6 days a week mate. Sunday off.
you're looking well , and good to see you lifting the weights again haha - are you in your 50s ? (if you dont mind me asking)
Closer to 50 then 40 mate. I was about to say I'm not on your level in the gym mate, but then i realized it's AJ in your profile haha.
@@WalkAboutWayne Hahaha that's classic!! keep it up!
