Chiang Mai is AMAZING. It’s our fav city in Thailand and we used to live in Chiang Mai, so in this vlog it’s a walk down Nimmanhaemin memory lane, food, hotels, things to do and the night market… Liked our accom? Take a look at pricing here: https://geni.us/fLOg72y — ⬇ See below for Thailand recommendations⬇
It’s been far too many years between our last Thailand trip and revisiting Chiang Mai, but man it feels so good to be exploring the Nimmanhaemin area and some of old town at the night markets again – it’s good to be home(ish).
In 2016 we got the crazy idea to sell everything we own and book a one way ticket to Thailand, staying in Chiang Mai as digital nomads working on a few different businesses, with no idea what would happen or where it would take us. It turned out to be the best decision we ever made, if you’re contemplating something similar you’ll absolutely LOVE our book: https://danegerandstacey.com/book
There’s so many epic things to do in Chiang Mai, but we really wanted to revisit some of our old favs, explore the night markets again and go back to our favourite cafe and food spot! We also found an amazing new hotel to check out as well, with so much going on this is likely our longest Thailand video in this not so little travel series.
Special thanks to Sabai Sabai Chiang Mai for hosting us to help share with you an epic walk down memory lane in our old hood! Check them out here: https://www.mosaic-collection.com/sabai-sabai-chiangmai

I noticed this video is from late april, would you recommend coming to Chiang mai in early april? You think the smoke from the burning of fields will be gone then? Appreciate it!
Aussie here. Moved permanently to Chiang Mai 6 yrs ago. Been bloody fantastic. BUT, CHIANG MAI 2024 has turned into BEIJING. Chinese EVERYWHERE. In the past 6 yrs I have NEVER seen CM as BUSY as it is now. Loi Krathong last weekend was OVER THE TOP with TOURISTS….. the traffic was like Bangkok. Normally it gets busy a week or two before Xmas/New Year but it’s 3rd week in November and it is MAXED OUT with tourists already. An ex-pat consensus is that we have seen the best of CM and it ain’t coming back. The Chinese are buying up all the Condo buildings, commercial buildings and warehouses and pushing sale and rent prices SKY HIGH, double to triple what they have always been and only selling/renting to fellow Chinese. Yep, CM has had the prawn. And you gotta ask, what’s it going to be like in 5-10 yrs time. The increased population and traffic is way OVER THE TOP NOW. Chiang Mai is DONE!!!! And observing the foreign tourists, media posers, COVERED IN TATTOOS, OBESE, with self indulgent arrogant attitudes, all a far cry from the gentility of the Thai family culture. It’s why we escaped the west years ago, and it’s now permeating CM…. turning it into ANOTHER HIPSTER TIKTOK LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME CLONE CITY OF WESTERN DEGRADATION……. Many original expats, including moi, are MOVING OUT. It’s ALREADY DONE… so yeah, in another 5 yrs it will be just another BANGKOK coffee shop tattoo shop CLONE. We LOVE (D) CM, but who wants what it is turning into?? The laid back quiet traditional Thai charm is RAPIDLY BEING DILUTED. We are thinking Siem Reap in Cambodia or Rishikesh in India ….. anywhere that’s far far away from this Chinese TIKTOK INSTAGRAM WESTERN PERVASION invasion…….
Some great content – well done.
I plan to retire in Thailand next year. Thank you for making these videos.
I will pretend iam a local Thai , plz don’t charge me more for the cab
Bellinee’s, Roastniyom and Cafe Amazon serve the best Latte…in that order…imo.
Hi, is this ok to smoke 420 on the balcony of an AirBnb apartment (the AirBnb website said smoking allowed)?
Thank you!
Wish you happiness 😊🎉❤
Where is the market?
I’m heading there this summer. It will be part of a seven week trip through three countries. Thank you for your experiences and recommendations.
❤😊อันช่องใหนดูแล้วก็ผ่านไปเพราะดูยูทูปอยู่ในทีวีที่ต่อพิเศษที่เสียเป็นรายเดือนไม่ใช่เจอในมือถือดูมั่งมันไม่ดีก็ไม่อยากดูบางทีก็รีเทินเร็วไปเลยจึงเรียนมาเพื่อทราบตามนี้
Gorgeous interior. I may have to stay on my next visit.
Wow, the prices that you mentioned seemed very expensive to me? I probably had the wrong idea but 600 CAD/month for an apartment? 5.33 for two coffees? What are people making there for hourly wages and how are the taxes? What about building permit®ulations when you ant to build yourself?
My boyfriend and I have been living in Chiang Mai since last year and will be here till November. Before we came here, I watched this video and I remember I had a different perspective to now, having never been to Chiang Mai before. Watching it now, seeing you walk down the street we live on and around Nimman, is such a strange feeling!
The fact that you were visiting, after having lived here years ago, kind of made me a bit emotional 😅 and just extra appreciative to be here now! Because one day we will also come back and look at it as the city we ‘used’ to live in 🥹
The time is going so fast!
Hi there, can you do a comparison between 2019 or 2018 and Now for Chiang Mai? Actually, I visited Chiang Mai in 2019 November for just 4 Days 😊
Amazing video! How is the pollution in Chiang Mai compared to Bangkok and Phuket?
haha Thai speaking doggo X
Thailand and Vietnam is so much better and so much cheaper than Latin and South America.
Can you live in Chiang Mai on english only or do you need to learn the language right away?
Check out my Khao Soi video shot in soi 4 Nimmanhaemin rd . Bomb Khao Soi
Whats the name of that chicken place?
😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hey guys it's funny…today I plan to have holiday in Chiang Mai and your video was the first suggestion.
Why is it funny? 6 years ago I decided to move to Vietnam and your video was one of the first suggestion. After 6 year I still live in Hoi An, still going to the same gym that you recommended.
I will definitely trust your judgment about Chiang Mai
Great video. I like how you did it. I really felt like I was tagging along with a couple of friends. I'm subscribing. Don't let me down. lol
However I would like to recommend for foreigners , Order less sweet first because iced coffee in Thailand is usually sweet because we add ice.
WOW! COOL VLOG! BEAUTIFUL CM!
This popped up in my newsfeed- I’ve been to that area of Thailand about 3yrs ago & strongly considering RELOCATING & Retiring there!! Right NOW!! ASAP!! Gotta get out of America- it’s a nightmare here- so all the info you provided was super informative & a guide to move on & relocate!! Thanks- I’m subscribed for more!!
Hi guys. Charlie from Boston, USA here. Watching videos from my apartment in Mexico. My lease is up next week and I’m going back for a doctors appointment in Boston. I will stay for one month . I do like Mexico, but I keep hearing about Chiang Mai and I’ve been considering it . Seems good a place as any to start Thailand
My wife and I spent 6 months in SE Asia in 2017 and went back for our honeymoon earlier this year. We shared your feelings of discovering old favourites, and the occasional slight melancholy of new developments clashing with our old memories. You guys would of been a fun couple to run into on one of our trips! Great energy from you two. Subscribed for more. All the best

So happy to see you guys back in Thailand. I hope I can meet you both in person someday. I can still remember watching your old Thailand videos. They inspired me to travel more. <3
