I enjoyed your presentation……. My wife and I look forward to spending 10 days there.
What do you recommend Christmas in chiang mai or go to Bangkok?what the best?
How do you recommend booking accommodations? Airbnb or did you use Facebook or another website? Thank you for your video 🙂
THE VIDEO SOUND TERIBLE
Terrible video .!!!
Nice guide Dian.
I am planning on moving the family there in 2026. I’m curious what area would be best to move too. I have a 7 yr daughter coming and she will be in school. We want to stay in a condo that has a pool and maybe garden area for her to enjoy. We work from home so WiFi must be amazing. I have been looking at YouTube videos and learning lots of do and donts. But specific neighborhoods I haven’t seen much.

Hi Dian, how do we get to the city from the airport? Is it safe and easy to take Grab car?
Might be a weird comment but is cockroach menace really a thing in let's say trendy neighbourhoods like Nimman ? I have read few reddit posts about Chiang Mai in general but was wondering if it's really bad, having lived in Europe for a few years now, it could come as real nightmare to everyday indulging in spraying the apartment. I plan to stay for a month in the city if not couple and hence the Q. Thanks for the video, very informative.
In the Loi Kroh road area, there is a gem of a restaurant about 100 m down Soi 1 called 'Cameron and Aum'…it is managed by a Thai Women who cooks the best Thai food at Thai prices, deliveries are constantly leaving this place and it is worth a visit if you like genuine home cooked Thai food…..
What Bank company has an ATM with the lowest fee?
was there for 2 weeks in July. Cant wait to go back. The most beautiful and nicest people in the whole world
We are planning our first trip to Chiang Mai and checked a bunch of videos about this place. Your guide is the most useful and ironically the shortest one. Thank you!
Im going to attend the lantern festival tgis november, which area is best to stay near the event?
This is a great video Dian, at just the right time. I will be in Chiang Mai for a 4th of July (2024) celebration with US Army veterans. I am really excited to see another Muay Thai match, like I saw last year in Kao Lak. If you are around that week, it would be great to share some great things to do. Thank you for the excellent video.
Thanks for your video. It was very helpful! We are a couple with a 3yr old considering moving to Chiang Mai. My biggest concern is the heat and ability to spend time outdoors. Is Mae rim cooler than in the city of Chiang Mai? Are there children’s park etc? Loved the villa you stayed at. What kind of monthly rent we are looks for a place like that?
I'm coming on a study visa next month. But I'm worried about the hot weather. How's the weather?
Mid July hopefully my flight is everything goes well 🙏
Is there music in your background???
Thanks for the video, Dian! I just arrived in Chiang Mai and can't wait to explore more.
could you write the names and location/area/addresses of the accomodations you mentioned in this vieo? thank you in advance.
Great info!
Is there a date for the 2024 lantern festival already? Thanks!
Great Video; thank you for the information.
I love chang mai and i definitely didn't know most of this place existed. I only went once im definitely going again.
How are you qualified to tell us "essential tips" about Chiang Mai travel? You need to have lived here for at least a few years in order to be qualified. Please stop pretending to be an expert in things for which you aren't. Oh wait, you're a digital nomad so you're used to swindling people. Too bad you flunked out of med school. You would have a real job and wouldn't need to be scamming.
Could you please expand on the transportation? I have children so scooters are not possible and we would like to visit the mountains outside of the city, do Zipline, rafting etc . Thanks a bunch
Hi Dian, saya perlu local guide untuk kunjungan kami ke Chiangmai. Ada rekomendasi?
Hey, what website do you use to find rentals? or FB groups? Thanks!
