Hey Wayne, There's a little place there that does delicious Isaan sausage at 10 baht per stick. That comes with the usual cabbage, ginger and chilli. We did a vlog on that place a few months back. There is also a great fruit shake place across the street. Love your vlogs as usual. 😁
Wayne, I love this area a lot. This clip reminds me of my childhood when I went to the market with my mom after school nearly every day. Thanks a lot for this clip. By the way, another area near the British Council is also called Wat Ked where there are many interesting spots as well. If you have time, check it out. 😊 Take care.
Since I will be apartment-shopping my next visit, checking out the neighborhoods is really helpful. I've been in most of them, but your commentary is great to see as well. Thanks!
Had no idea Wat Ket went all the way out to the Narrawat bridge. I live at the other end, near the Nong Hoi market, in the Riverside Condo. Can't beat the location, hi way and Old City are a short jump away, as is Plaza 89.
@Walk-About Wayne I used to work in Lamphun and rented a condo at Riverside (2018). When I retired here last September I went right back there and found a great deal on a rental; 125 sq m right on the river for 15,000 b. Condo is dated but damn the view and location are perfect.
Cheers from Los Angeles Wayne! Great vlog! Perhaps you’ve done a vlog about your total monthly expenses and I missed it. I’m moving to Chiang Mai in a year or so. I have an idea what it will cost me a month, but I always like hearing from people who live there. ✌🏻
Nice walk about video Wayne. Hope you cover the motorbike accesssories store in a future video. I love all the diferent accessories you can get in Thailand. Saw a video on a pimped out Honda Adv the other day that had me salivating. In my bobby dazzler raver days I was partial to a bit of Ket. Now I'd be partial to walking my arsh around this interesting area Wat Ket. 😉
Had to stop the maps mate, they are copyrighted by Google 😢😢. Can't use nothing these days. I've had to go back to leaving locations in the description. I'm thinking about taking another bike mate but it's a hard decision. Do I take Lucille or rent a bigger bike. I'm not sure yet .
I saw you in the old city near Chiang Mia gate area yesterday. I was going to turn my bike around to say hello but didn't, in the end. Too bad. Keep up the good content!
Thanks Steve, I'm sure you'll love it here mate. I will be doing a Doi Saket vlog at some point mate. The Drone bikes are ok, they use cheaper parts though. That's why I prefer Yamaha and Honda.
Awesome vlog. I used to live near that area. There are much much more food in the evening/early night at the first market. But they closed on Sunday. Also from 2am-5am, you will find soooo cheap ready to eat food (more of the local menus)
What a Bobby Dazzler mate .Although I could live at most areas you've featured this one ticks most of my boxes . Maybe a little further away from city centre & closer to rural escape route would tick the last box . Good price on 1 yr old Aerox with 4170kms @59k . List new is 85500 I think . If you saw a new one advertised @ 65k I would be thinking of the old saying " if it sounds to good to be true etc etc " Really enjoying your district Vlogs Wayne .
Nice one Paul! Wat Ket is cool but still in the city really yes. Depends on the Aerox also buddy, they do some different specs. The ABS model would be a must for me. I think the one i seen was ALMOST new. I really liked this one in the lady's shop though. Cheers man.
Honestly 50 baht...x 3 150 baht a day for food - quids in as we Brits say. $5 a day for 3 meals...cant be bad. Love Wayne's videos the inside look at Chiang Mai - if not for the blistering heat...it would be a no brainer. I'd be wearing linen shirts and need 3 a day...40c I'm over that in Australia people what Wayne does in the heat is bloody hard - top bloke.
Hi Steve, yes mate you could live on 200 baht a day if needed. You would prob need some fruit and a few other little things but its easily done. Chiang Mai is crazy hot mate, this year has broken records. I still hit the streets in the midday sun though. Thanks buddy.
Any ktm delarships there? Also boss 58,000 Baht equates to $2482.02 AUD! Touching down from Sydney lol. Enjoying the content, keep up the professionalism 😊
There's some places in the south west of England that still have horses to pull the fire pump🤣. Yes falang can play the lottery, no worries, it's a bit more complicated than UK National Lottery though.
I like that area. Nice hotels also. And just a hop, skip, and broke.,.uh jump from the girls. Anyway, I just met a young man who remembered me from a boxing club 5 years ago. He said I haven't changed. Just more " buffed" from the gym work. So still a "handsome young man" for the girls. They miss " little bobby" and my 3" long times. Tell them I will return. Forgot...C.M. looks like a new city in places. And the areas I missed that you have shown. So going to need some new boots for walking.
Thanks for another district show. I took a shine to Hang Dong. Still my fav so far. Hope the ants go away. Are they in most buildings or is there a floor level where you don’t have to worry about ants anymore? Guess I’d get use to more insects quick.. especially with the better lifestyle over there.
Cheers mate. Hang Dong is a great area and the one Expats seem to like the most. I'm on floor 6 and the Ants are here, they will get anywhere mate. Once they get into buildings it's hard to keep them out but if you keep it clean, you can keep them at bay. Cheers.
@@WalkAboutWayne 6th Floor, holy crap. That’s an incentive to keep the place clean. At least I don’t plan on eating in much. If they crawl on me in bed I might buy a pet aardvark. Ha
bro, just re-looked at the splendid videos you did on pai. You reckon its worth braving thru the motion sickness to get there or should I just continue chilling in CM ..
Pai road isn't to bad, you just need to keep alert and don't take the hairpins to fast. Watch out for sand patches and gravel, break nice and early for hairpins. Go at a nice steady pace and watch out for crazy minibus drivers. I would go on a sunny day also, not when the road is wet and green.
@@WalkAboutWayne Have reached pai, think Mae Salong is much better than it n is much cooler (1200M elevation vs 580M for pai) . Looks like the main purpose people head to pai is to smoke weed which you can now do anywhere in TL
Hey Wayne that was a nice place mate i think i could have a holiday there no problem but to live i still like me little villages. i live in a village here so its what im used to, but yeah nice vlog would you do some condo reviews hotel maybe. and i gave you a shout out on my last vlog while having a beer at kinver its a village near mine just did a couple of vlogs on it. feel free to take a look when you get the chance mate.
Hi Wayne love your videos keep up the good work hope you can help me last time I come to chiang mai I rented a motorbike but got stopped by the police and they gave me a find because they said I only had my English driving license and they told me I need something else when renting a motorbike do you know what else I need to bring with me thanks
bro, take it easy on the teeth by avoiding beef . Drinking milk powder milk to get calcium n iron will be good though The Aerox looks tempting, is it a Thai practice to bring a mechanic friend to check things out before getting a 2nd hand rig ??
Nice one Rudd, i should still be on the soup really mate. Cheers for the calcium and iron tip. The Aerox was so nice. It's best to take someone along with you for sure mate or atleast someone that knows.
Wayne I prefer these type of restaurant mate the real Thai authentic food and the real Thais . Wayne that beef looks lovely you don’t need lots of meat 100 grams the rest rice and you could ask for 100 thai baht worth mate
Word to the wise - if you can afford it , just buy a ticket and let her have it as a friend - the lass is low income and could use the readies - and good kamma for you both !
Yes, anyone can play the Thai National Lottery. I looked into the lottery taxes and for the official National lottery the tax is only half a percent. I saw that someone else said the tax was 30% but I can find NO evidence of that anywhere. Maybe it's 30 THB and not 30%. I watched a video of an expat buying a lottery ticket and winning fairly big by Thai standards, and the tax was just 0.5%.
50 baht for that plate is a fantastic deal...by Western Standards > live in Thailand for any stretch & a plate as such for 50 baht is not all that great of a deal 😉 Bon appetite Wayne
That's right, anywhere else it would be an amazing deal. It still is here, but i've seen better. Real nice market restaurant though with great reviews. Thanks.
Wayne "Bobby Dazzler" needs some likes.
👌🏻👌🏻
🤔 hmmmmm
Really enjoyed that again Wayne thanks. I really like the way you are with the thai people, very polite and respectful as usual. All the best 👍
Thank you Bernard 🙏
I could see you riding the streets of Chiang Mai on a new Royal Enfield Signal military motorcycle.
Now that sounds perfect, I could see me riding around on that bike.
Well done Wayne. Another informative video that promotes the great city of Chiang Mai and its suburbs. Hope that wisdom tooth is now 100% buddy 😀
Nice one Steven. Tooth still giving me a bit of jip mate, healing very slowly but i'll get there mate.
That lady that you were chatting to about her shop was gorgeous.
I can't remember mate, but i'll take your word for it.

Hi Tracy, it's a cool area yes. The British Council is in the same district yes, just at the top end. 👍
Since I will be apartment-shopping my next visit, checking out the neighborhoods is really helpful. I've been in most of them, but your commentary is great to see as well. Thanks!
Cheers Randy !
Goodview restaurant nice in Chiangmai
Goodview not bad.

It's weird because Wat Ket starts half way over the Iron Bridge 🤣. Nong Hoi is one of my favorite areas, i love it down that way.
@Walk-About Wayne I used to work in Lamphun and rented a condo at Riverside (2018). When I retired here last September I went right back there and found a great deal on a rental; 125 sq m right on the river for 15,000 b. Condo is dated but damn the view and location are perfect.
Looks like a nice, convenient area to be in. Close to old town and not too far from the festival mall.
Yes, this is a great area for easy access to most places.
When I'm in CNX, I can't see an Aerox without thinking of you, Wayne 😂
🤣🤣 One day, I'll have my matte Black Aerox .
UNCLE WAYNE!!! another video another beautiful day in Thailand
Cheers Shane 👍
Love this mate. Unfortunately couldn't get to Chiang Mai when I was there in April, too smoked out.
Thanks buddy! Yes, it was a bad smokey season this year. Hope you can make it to Chiang Mai in the future.
It was a blazer yesterday! I go over that area once in a while to the car/motorbike wash and the Rimping.
Nice one Mark 👍

Did I miss the map Wayne? Your positivity always shines thru no matter how hot it is. Is a new bike coming for the next travel series mate?
Had to stop the maps mate, they are copyrighted by Google 😢😢. Can't use nothing these days. I've had to go back to leaving locations in the description.
I'm thinking about taking another bike mate but it's a hard decision. Do I take Lucille or rent a bigger bike. I'm not sure yet .
You do make chiang mai very appealing. I'll have to try it next time I'm over. Cheers Wayne
Give it a try mate, I'm sure you'll like it. Thanks 🙏
Nice vlog wayne, have a nice weekend
Thanks Julie 👍

Nice one Trevor, hope to see you around buddy.
Fantastic Wayne. Moving over in February. Can you do Doi Saket as we’ve seen a rental there. Have you looked at the GPX Drone, gets great reviews

Cheers John 👍
I had a similar gut feeling about Wat Ket and couldn't put my finger on it either but good reason to avoid i think ; )
It's a really nice area, but I always go with the feeling. I don't get the feeling of wanting to base myself in Wat Ket. Thanks.

Yes, that's true. The North is definitely more of a place where you need your own transport.
Sorry ...I use to buy the lottery tickets for the girls. Better than drinks, I think.
