Thanks for sharing these costs, great to see what you can get in Chiang Mai as so many videos I have seen focus on Bangkok. Thailand is a beautiful place to live! Maybe oneday!!! 😉
Thanks for this great information! If using reverse osmosis to purify water, please add some mineral salt, or electrolyte powder to replace the lost minerals.
Definitely could have, but I’m happy with the space. I saw a few other units that were so narrow and I hate that, I don’t mind paying a bit more to be fully satisfied/not compromise on things
I am there at this moment. It is very dirty and far to expensive for what you get. The pollution, both air and environment, is shocking. Quality of water / food (pesticides etc) is according. Not for me.
Hello Eric, thanks for the informative video regarding cost of living in Chaing Mai area, and of course if you compare prices with the US or even here in Europe where I live specially the apartment that is aprox 800 eur here will be easy depending on the area around 1500 eur, which is for you the complete cost of living for the month mean food, utilities, miscellaneous, transportation, hobbies and others. I see even cheaper apartments under 500 eur, we look a house in Doi Saket beatiful for the same price you pay for this apartement. I will be in 10 days in Chiang Mai, first visit Bangkok, Koh Samui and then Chiang Mai as a place to retire , therefore this travel will be confirm what we saw on videos and every one love Thailand, my son is right now in Bangkok as a digital Nomad and he will be also visiting Chiang Mai and perhaps settle down there. What do you hear about the burning season?. Thanks again for the video
Good luck finding a spot and getting to retirement! It’s great. As far as burning, I’ve visited before during that time and it wasn’t “that bad” but of course each day is different and people react in different ways. If it’s too bad I’ll probably head out traveling elsewhere.
Exactly you can buy a house but not the land, most people will buy a condo, but also you need to be careful because the price you sale to an ex-pat is not the same if you sale to a Thai people is less.
Tuned off as soon as I saw his "Quit Your Job" shirt. Had enough of these anti-work disinfo scammers and ebeggars on YT ruining people's lives for a quick buck.
Everyone and their dog has the perennial title of "How Much does it cost to live Thailand", otherwise known as how long is a piece of string. UA-camrs just love this title as it seems to attract lots views, comments and income for the UA-camr. It costs as much as you want to spend.
@@Eric_Garrison Condos are not my thing. Would not recommend either to buy or rent. Rent unfurnished house instead if you intend to stay in Thailand long term. You could propagate that advice but not sure it would drive more traffic to your channel.
@ if you rent unfurnished then you are stuck furnishing it and end up owning a bunch of stuff… definitely not my goal in life but different strokes for different folks, it’s what makes the world great.
@@Eric_Garrison Yes I agree but I have made Thailand my home for the last 20 years and maybe when I die. Think everyone has stuff. Making sure the stuff is an asset and not a liability is the thing I believe.
Asset or liability, doesn’t matter to me, too much of anything is just a burden imo. Don’t know if you actually watched the video or not but you see I don’t spend a lot of time buying/accumulating things. Just the basics. Keeps my life agile. Maybe some day I’ll put down permanent roots, but not quite yet…
I might be replying here for a second time... if I am sorry, it seems my other comment is here but I can't see it. Very odd. I'll try to reach out to him, would be fun to interview him or something if he is down for it.

keep pumping out those Thailand videos Eric!!!!
You know it! Let’s go.
Thumbs up 👍 Eric
Been keeping up with you thanks for being so helpful!
Good video Eric. Hope the training and diet are going well. Don’t forget to do some resistance training too.
I lift in the condo gym… only dumbbells but it’s enough for now. Plus pull ups
Good info.

Thanks. I’ll make sure I get my electrolytes
I think you could have found a cheaper condo. But hey, that pool looks amazing, so maybe it's worth it!

What’s some areas you recommend moving to? Hua Hin looks cool, but also a bit out from where you are.
Huahin is nice, laid back. Lots of older retirees. I always prefer the north of Thailand but anywhere is good really.
Do u have to buy dog be gone spray?😮

Is Tailand safe?
Can foreigners buy property in Thailand? In China l think younhave pay in cash.
Foreigners can buy condos but as far as I know can not own land

To me seems a bit commercial...i d like to go more to philippine laos and vietnam
Same level of pollution and poor quality of food / water. Slightly tendency of Vietnam getting better in the next years…
How much is that rent in dollars?
About 800 bucks
@ that’s cheap, my house payment in California is $5000 a month, lol
Are you concern about the pollution in Ching Mai?
A little bit, but I can always just travel or head home for a bit if it’s too bad

Why are you sour ?
Happy new year to you !!!

Dang you cracked the case. Maybe for your next one you can find out why there are so many condo tour videos.

Have you hooked up with Bjørn Nyland? He is also in this city these days with his family 😃
