What NO ONE Tells You About Chiang Mai

I was in Chiang Mai last month (May). I thought, what a decent place to retire to. Thanks for reminding me about the burning season. I'll just visit around those months!

There’s a CM Expat Club, great source of info for everything about CM and Tland ! 🙏🏻

Soo helpful that your video was short whilst still giving the info we want. Thank you so much for that.. Some peeps really drag their vids out.

That's a interesting fact Thanks

👋🏼 Small struggling Travel Channel here. I love your content, thanks for this great video! You inspire me to keep grinding my channel, maby one day I’ll grow as big as you 🥲

I can hardly hear u !!!

You need to improve your microphone / sound quality.

Good real topics 👍👋

Good points. Many people have no clue that for 4 months out the year the air is toxic in CM. Also, traffic there has got out of control (gridlock) and mass transit is horrible. Being dependent on a motorbike is dangerous and during the rainy season it absolutely sucks. As for people being transient, that's not unique to CM, that can be said for ALL of Thailand. Another thing you didn't mention, probably because you're trying to be politically correct, is that there has been an invasion of Chinese tour groups that descend on the city like locust at times...they'll cut the line, spit, have no social tact and you'll witness them being incredibly rude hardballing Thai vendors, which will piss you off if you have an ounce of empathy.

Long term? I have lived in CNX for only 8 years. In terms of air quality you haven't seen nothing until you see Purprle on the AQI readings and feel pollution in yoiur throat. The worst was probably in the spring of 2019. 2024 was relatively mild compared to the past. The bad air in CNX has been present for decades.

How often do you get stopped because I'm travelling soon and I only got a provisional license and I need a full driving license too apply for the international driving licence.

That's why it's so stuffy in my home now 😞 thank you

Also which one is better grab or bolt for travelling price and convenience wise.

2 friend's were killed in Hua Hin last winter on motorcycles, that is everything I need to know

Hi, have you experienced any dog attacks or pack of dogs acting aggressive towards you?

No one told me this 😱

Heard about the burning quite a lot

Most people complain about how crazy it is to drive in Thailand.The last time I checked in the United States have car accidents literally all day everyday no state in the USA doesn’t go a day without a car accident.The second thing is it’s easy to avoid some of the mayhem in Thailand on the roads just drive in the remote areas where it isn’t a lot of heavy traffic.Out of all the foreigners in Thailand I don’t know why any of them don’t do this I mean seriously 🤔🤣.You purposely choose and decide to drive in the touristy hot spot areas with nothing but constant heavy traffic and then complain about it being too much traffic and motor bikes.

You were forgiving with the 3 to 4 months. More like 6 months. Head to Portugal Spain or Bali for fresh air. Very few YTers ever discuss the darksides. Viewers like the escape of utopia. Good job.!

You were surprised about the burning season? Seriously?
