+SpeaksIt I am not sure if there is a recording studio in Chiang Mai, but I do know that the city is filled with many creative people who are probably into music just like you. Also there is a sick jazz bar in CM that does open mics once a week.
hi Pat, the link does not work. I end up on your site, but it says the content has been moved or deleted. I really would like to know where this is you are staying at for 80$ a month. I am in Chiang Mai right now and I need to find a cheap place to stay for a couple of months. I'd be so greatful if you could tell me where that place is!
Hey :) here is the corrected link, sign up with your email and you will be notified when this releases. It will answer all your questions: www.truetransient.com/apartment
thanks, have just sign up. Is there any way though I could get a tip on that place you stayed at before June 16th....I am kinda looking for asap?
That's a room, not an apartment!
As of January, 2019 the rent here went up to $107 a month.
I know that one can indeed call these minimalist rooms "apartments, but in fact they are little more than a Motel 6 efficiency or a dorm room with a small efficiency - read counter - called a kitchen.
Most who are not simply 20 something and serious about actually relocating an establishing a home think of a more substantial apartment as being something akin to a living room, defined kitchen (not simply a gas burner!), bedroom, second bedroom or office, and maybe some sort of utility room in addition to a defined full bathroom. \
And this is NOT what these videos talking about "apartments cheap" are talking about!
wow I'm paying $1500 for one bed room in the bay area California man
I'm moving to Thailand tomorrow hell yeah
thanks man see you there✌
Omg get out of the bay that's the biggest living scam ever lol! At least come south aha
1500 a month is more then my 3100 sq foot house in Florida....Mine is 1249$. You are definitely getting scammed.
You are lucky at 1500 a month for a one bedroom in the bay area.
yes so not lucky, I'm not stupid. Don't live in a place with a high cost of living and you can have a more enjoyable life.
BigD Travels High cost of living means higher wages. That's why I pwn property in the bay are. When you are doing well you can afford what you need to afford. So that is an enjoyable life.
I cannot live there without a kitchen. The kitchen is my living space. I am italian.
I cannot live there without a laundry area to wash my clothes
+Lourdes Abuso People will do your laundry very cheap there, like 40 baht ($1.10 US) a kilo.
lol
Really. These are simply hotel rooms rented by the month.
Myriad New Age millennials without jobs or significant skills out marveling at massage parlors (oh my!) and fantasizing that SEAsia is vegan.
You could pay an extra $30 and get one with a kitchen if that's all you're worried about
When I travel alone. I'm like you. All I care is to have a very clean, quiet place to stay. I'm ok with basic as long as is safe, quiet and clean. I don't like the shower/toilet concept at all. And I would like a small kitchenette. I've seen nice apartments for 200 a month that look like any small 1 bedroom apartment from the US. The only difference is that it's 1300 in the U.S and 200 in Thailand. I wanna stay for 3 months. No more than that.
Cool video man, I'm doing something similar in Vietnam. Keep on showing people that there are alternatives to the 9-5!
+The New Travel Blog Thanks buddy. Where in Vietnam are you? I may be going to Hanoi within the month..
+True Transient Saigon. Thinking of heading for Hanoi myself in February or March. Definitely need to see the other side of Vietnam while I'm here. Keep in touch if you want to link up, always glad to see what other digital nomads are up to
yea dude i do the same in guatemala, i teach english online
@@ellishuebner5 Cool! Have you tried Cebu and Dumaguete, Philippines yet? I heard the dating scene is amazing!
Livin the life! Don't need much when you have such a great surrounding. Not only the cheap apartment but the food is amazing and usually about $1 for a bowl of street noodles. You should do a series on different street carts! Miss yah bro
Yeah man it's not bad at all :) miss you too buddy
I would say this is a hotel style room and not apartment. No kitchen at all, even the most basic setup. Hardly would call this room an apartment :)
True. This is basically just a transient house, because it has no kitchen, no laundry area. You just sleep, take shower and nothing more, you cannot cook because there is no cooker.
+Lourdes Abuso I think the concept is that you eat out all the time because most people do. So many street vendors and small restaurants to choose from, you can eat there cheaper than making it yourself at home.
+shunkajun It may be truth, but irrelevant to the fact that this style of room could hardly be called an apartment, It looks more like a hotel room.
thai's and many other countries culture do not stay home much, staying home is a very american thing.
Ricky X, not only American, but European, Russian etc at least. ALL white countries can not imagine having an apartment without a kitchen :)
I know why you woke up at 11:30. I miss Chiang Mai. So many great bars...
Haha so true
fucking amazing place for 80 bucks
OMG, $80 a month. That's is extremely cheap.
In apartment living there, landlords are allowed to charge you almost double what the actual electric bill is. I know it happened to me. Best bet is to rent a house, the landlord gives you the actual electric bill and you pay it yourself at a 7-11.
For everyone thinking no kitchen is a big deal, it really isn't. You can eat street food for about the same price as cooking in Thailand. There is no reason you cant buy a cooktop, rice cooker, electric tea kettle and a little folding table. When you can squeak by on hundreds of dollars a month and never have to go to a job small sacrifices will become insignificant. Spending your days at a park or a beach or with a lady friend or getting massages is what you should consider. The room is just a place to sleep, shower and get out of the rain.
love that apartment for its kind of, like, simple~ feel. like even the view... not all that great. but it's got that cinematic feel you get from like, pen-ek ratanaruang films. or maybe even that kind of wong kar wai's Chungking Express kind of mood.
I lived in Thailand and stayed for like 7 years in this kind of apartment. Could save up loads of money.
That's amazing! If you wanted to cook, you could. I did with a hot plate. Worked out fine. Also had a toaster oven that would bake anything. Nice, inexpensive place to crash. Dude's got it going on.
It's very basic, but you pay for what you get and it is well worth $80. If you are willing to pay about $150 a month you should check out PP Condos they have modern rooms with partitioned off areas for bed so it doesn't seem like a studio, and an area with a sofa and flat screen tv and also a full modern kitchen, some of them are really smart for the money and they do have smaller rooms for similar money to what you pay now.
heyy may i ask the location of this place? I am looking for a place to rent starting next month in Bangkok... so.... it would be really helpful... thank youu
You can find this location and many others that may suit your budget in my guide: gumroad.com/l/thaiapartment
Change may is 14 hours from Bangkok
Chaing mai
Bangkok is a little more expensive than chiang mai, when I stayed in chiang mai I paid around $250for a nice room/apartment for a full month and around $50 for wifi, water and electricity totaling $300 for the month. My room did have a stove top cooker and microwave however I rarely used them as street food and restaurants where so cheap most of the time they where used to reheat some leftovers or some packet noodles and snacks etc. It is a lovely country with friendly locals and I cant wait to go back to chiang mai.
I thought it was $80 per night. That would be the right price for me. $80 per month? You've got to be joking. But then again, after I've watched the video, I don't think I want to ever stay in a place like that. But it's nice to know that you can crash somewhere for that price.
Oh this is in my neighborhood. I have a German friend that lives at that apartment building. I live at the Huay Kaew Residence over by KSK. I love to eat at Croco's pizza regularly. Best pizza in Chiang Mai.
My Studio is about 50 sq ft bigger with a balcony, microwave and coffee maker, plus we have a pool, but I also pay 5,000 baht (about $145 USD). 4,000 baht rent plus 300 for internet and usually about 700 more in electric.
I have a 1 year Visa and can honestly say that I love Thailand. Seriously considering a retirement Visa when I'm old enough.
HOTDAMN that‘s a sexy rent price.
I'm impressed with that area you showed. Looks fairly clean and orderly (I've been to thailand).
WTF? A graphic designer that get's paid at least $80 a month?! That's strange...
+Taylor you wish
@Taylor lmao keep dreaming
@Taylor Who is Beyonce? $7K per month is quite crappy, is it part time?
0:58 Hey guy waving!
Amazing. Tell me about your background with digital design and elaborate on what you do and how you got the job. I'd like to pay 80 a month and do artsy stuff.
+Blake Blackstone Maybe Ill make more videos on this topic - it seems to be getting a lot of attention!
+True Transient Yes please!
This is not an apartment but rather an hotel room.
However @ $80 per month it's great value and looks safe and clean.
One can eat 3 meals per day in Thai restaurants for less than $10 so a kitchen is not necessary unless one is into home cooking.
Here in Europe a Thai Foot Massage is €60 per hour (c. 2000 Baht), in Thailand it's 200 Baht.
Corona Virus has caused Thailand to close down to tourists which has put millions of Thais out of work.
Hopefully there will be an anti-dote in the Spring.
Thailand Abu.
โชคดีประเทศไทย
Good luck Thailand!
I love the shower / bathroom set up. it's a little strange at first but cleaning the bathroom in a BREEZE. I scrub everything down in one go, (toilet, sink, walls and floor) and then use the shower nozzle to rise.
Yes I agree it can be quite odd at first but I did get used to it after a short time!
Gotta love those kitchen sink sprayers in the bathrooms in Thailand. Nothing fancy, but gets the job done.
Bro, it is 2020 i see places that r insane with like pools, gyms and even breakfast included on airbnb for like 150-300 dollars per month. It is unbelievable!!!
I wonder if its still possible to find 80usd rent per month in Chiang Mai nowadays...
Even as an asian i must admit that 80$ is damn cheap for that kinda apartment
I hope those pups are healthy.
Only $80 a month?! And here I thought I was getting it cheap when I was in Bangkok & Phuket for $25 a DAY!!! I will definitely be looking for an apartment on my next trip!!!! Thanks for the video!
Crazy right?
If you'd like to learn how I found this apartment and others like it, check out my guide: truetransient.com/apartment
I'm thinking of leaving the States and moving out to Thailand. what items do you recommend as far as electronics, power sources etc
+Emerson Nolan Don't bring an outlet adapter, all US plugs can be used in the outlets here.
This looks like an $80 apartment...........
To each his own. Go for $250 a month and you'll get some place palatial.
I like how you say being a "digital nomad" but completely disregard mentioning Wifi, Internet speed or whatsoever in your apartment.
I like how you could've asked me about those things in this comment but instead chose to criticize a stranger's video on the internet.
I like how you think that having the most important info about living in another country as a digital nomad should be found in random comments rather than the video.
All this time you've been complaining you could've asked the questions you needed answered.
Seems like the complaining is more important to you.
Hopeless..
Well yes, I'm making use of Internet's inherent means of delivering (in this case, very valid) criticism. However it looks like not many people can take it that well and instead resort to passive aggressive insults.
Location and which building address.
I'm a 40 year old Canadian and I want to start living in Thailand for 6 months out of the year, snowbirding you could say, any advice for a fella who wants to live there for half the year and volunteer? Thank you kindly :)
Check out "backpacking with banger." He works 6 months of the summer in tourism in California and travels Asia for the 6 months of the winter.
Nice video - I actually followed the video here from StickBoy to give you some comment love ^_^
Thailand is a sweet place to live, having lived here for nearly 4 years now in BKK
Keep loving it, mate
thanks for sharing info, well it is so cheap
That looks like a great space especially for the price. Clean, modern and bright.
A very good find!
Enjoy!!!
I have an apartment in Bangkok (which I don’t live in) and its my mom rents it to people for 30k Baht a month (about 1k usd) and it is only a little bit bigger than this.
yeah but its probably in central Bangkok and has a kitchen
I’m looking to move there in the next 6 months! Looking for some place under $100 furnished.
Great Video Bro, there are so many questions I have personally. Beside your Complete Guide for Cheap Apartments, I was thinking about bringing up the idea for you to put out a newsletter, and for maybe a couple bucks a month, guys like me who are considering moving to Thailand might really need and enjoy? Perhaps, you are not interested in doing that but it would be a valuable asset to have before moving, and even an edition for people who already live there could benefit from your experiences and insights? Just a thought, anyway, I wish you great fun and much happiness.
This is a great idea. Thank you :)
What is the address of this apartment building? What is its name? Do you have to sign a lease? How long is the lease? How long can an American like me live in Thailand? How to extend a visa?
I was budgeting for around $250 a month, this has made me reconsider!
Budget AT LEAST $250 a month...unless your fantasy "apartment"(sic) is akin to a dorm room or a Motel 6 hotel room. .Take if from someone who has lived in Asian for the past 8 years.
@@sdushdiu You like to complain
Where is apartment exactly? Electric, water, Included? Great rate! Deposit? I assume this is a predominantly Thai neighborhood, not many foreigners. 👍🇨🇷
Santitham area
@@PatDaley 👍
Not to bad at all. My first apartment was that size and i paid $550 a month about 12 years ago. Im sure its alot more nowadays
3K Baht with AC, great deal on your crib bro!
Top floor uses a lot more energy units but is quieter.
Nice manager lady. Chok dii khrup!
nice...I currently live in Japan...I am retired military...I could live like a king with my salary...
I recommend a sofa to chill on. Obviously you cannot be lying down on the bed or sitting at that desk in that tiny hard chair if you want to just read or watch something online for a while.
Just saying!
$80 a month great price I paid $9 a day for a cottage about same size in Khon Kaen
+Thai Wife on Ice That's dope
Rent a house better. You can find 2 bed house for slightly almost what you are paying but you really need to speak a little Thai. Dont go for a bugalow, find a 2 storey house and sleep down stairs, dont need aircon, just some bug spray maybe.
Where is that place located i am moving to Thailand soon and I need a place to live
Thailand where?
How is the renting process? How much you pay up front? Contract length? Thinking about making the move
I just saw your video. It's nice. A friend of mine Tony retired in changmi. Hope someday we can catch up. Till then. Bye
Very nice, if you stick to a strict style and format of your own and do food and restaurant vlogs you'll see your subscribers skyrocket!
+ALIEN SCIENTIST says the guy with a whole 37 subscribers!
Like bathrooms where you can go to the toilet, brush your teeth and shower at the same time :)
this is a typical high low end room for rent. the low low end looks the same but is 20 years old. they average 2000-3000 baht equal to 60-90 dollars. they are usually short time stay meaning 3-6 months. most are workers in the local area as welll as collage students. no kitchen but the local area usually has street food 24-7 as well ass 7-11's everywhere. definitely not middle class.
What kind of videos can I expect from Thailand, when are you going to hitchhike again?
Some new interviews done here - Hitchhiking tip video I filmed in Chiang Mai - a travel video in the northern Thailand mountain. Filming a Hitchhiking trip in the near future. Thanks for following !
Why are going to Thailand while being a digital nomad? Why not Ecuador or a south american country?
think I'll do chang mai next time around
Great stuff Pat!
😱 Its even got a light switch.
and a window!!!
Awesome video man. Subscribed. Where are you exactly in Thailand? I really liked Phuket when I visited.
This was in Chiang Mai. I'm not in Thailand anymore.
thats amazing. ive been highly considering moving to thailand and this video pushed me a bit further to go:)
HELLO, NICE $80 DOLARES MENSUALES A MONTH
I WOULD'VE TO GO TO THAILAND
I LOVE YOUR VIDIO
I LEARN A LOT
bro I think I stayed in the exact same room after you left, 2nd room from the emergency stairs on the right side facing the exit. I was there in 2017 summer. This place was amazing I miss Thailand. Are you still in Thailand?
So, can you live there 365, year after year? Ten yrs ago I rented a room in downtown San Diego, CA for $540. Free cable TV and sink, furnished - but bathroom in the hall - dorm style, but it was cleaned everyday. No view. I like your room better!
Thailand's great. Love the freedom there.
What about hotel adrees ? We don't know where is it exactly ?
I am totally impressed that room and price convinces me ad I live in an vehicle in seattle and feel like a 3rd class person plus a criminal of course they think I am poor well I would rather spend my money somewhere else and not get profiled if you are homeless they don't want you here maybe I can get the city to buy my ticket to changmai thailand?
Is the cost of living in Chiang Mai less than pattaya or bangkok?
Yes. My friends in Pattaya are paying $150/month on Jomtien Beach. By Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok my friend is paying $212/month for a NEW apartment that has a gym and pool.
any chance you could keep the place clean. I mean its pretty small ....
I want to move there . Would you be willing to advise the most safe and cheapestt place to live?
Hi, your $80.00 a month, does it include electricity ?
electricity Pay yourself
IT is. Very funny. People, not understand why there is No kitchen
Enjoyed, living on SSDI, in the USA. 60 Year old man lost everything. Will I, make it starting a new life.
Yes, of course. +3 meals a day and a massage per month :)
Thank you for the tour and information on inexpensive apartments! Travel safe.
awesome tour man, i like your image on your website where you are on the street with other motorbikes!
+supervitallica Thanks homie
I'm going to retire in about a year and will be spending winters in SE Asia.. I've been to Phuket a couple times and liked it, but the visa requirements seem like they'd be a pain...
I think I'll use Cambodia as my home base for the easy visa, then just fly to Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Laos, etc..thanks for the video....I'll need to check out your other videos...
I've heard that Americans over 50 can get a pretty sweet long term visa
Ow, my heart. Missing CM so hard after this video. We lived here for 6 months and are aching to go back after our Seattle money stop where a 423sq apartment costs us $1200 a month! Any plans to go back there as well?
Could someone please provide me with advice on how simple or hard it may be to become a teacher in Thailand and what type of certifications I may need. I do have my degree. Working on my Master’s
Hi, what would utilities cost PM? would u know approximately cost of room with direct internet straight to room?
How much per unit of electricity? Some places can charge as much as 10 to 12B per unit it can add up if you use the aircon allot. I pay 7B, an average in my area seems to be between 7 and 9, I end up paying about 30 to 45 dollars per month.
That place in NYC would be $2000 🤷♂️
Exactly. Your view out the living room window would be that of the building next door.
Facts
I pay 650 for a room!
If your going there what is the preferred language to learn, Mandarin?
hahaha I was living in that apartment for around 2 months The lady she was super funny and nice those puppies that you see they are not for sell they are for free adoption , She got them from the military camp where she goes for horse riding because in camp there are lots of homeless dogs so she's kind of helping those puppies to have better life I guess And also the electricity bill is a bit high because of that old school air condition , and I'd like to ask if you already tried Crocco Pizza? If not try it out , BJ he makes good pizza , Chiang mai is where I grew up in So if you have any question about anything feel free to ask me Sorry for my bad English
+Watcharin Rueangrakrian Haha yeah I mistakenly said they were for sale in the video.
Never tried Croco pizza! Will have to try it if I go back. Very cool that you used to live in that apartment. Cheers
Nice video bro!
+laem2121 Thanks!
Great work...keep it up. If you can, show us some more cheap places to stay.
yep $80 Apartment and the rest go to massages happy endings lol 5555
Have you thought about commuting from Thailand to CA for work? You can save A LOT. Just saying.... :)
How much is electricity and internet?
Internet may be unavailable or worthless there. Electricity is a lot for AC when you live on top floor.
600 dollars in the USA won't get you something as nice as that
Would you send me options. Planning to move. Please advise.
Yes! please, show us more places, pkease. We will keep following you
2:46 Pretty crappy view..I was able renting a mobile home for 250$ in FL not so far from beach with rather better outer view. Why don't you live someplace close to beach?
Why do you think everyone wants to see the ocean? And he's not sitting in front of the view, he can go wherever he wants... Plus everything in FL is overpriced.
May I ask what part of Thailand You are living. .. We plan to go there for. Vacation and maybe we can stay longer .. We are retired now. ...
wow awesome and you get a c what about Wi-Fi how much it cost for a place with WiFi
Hey Pat! So happy that I stumbled across your channel. Good stuff! Subscribed! I am in the process of liquidating my possessions and start my own personal journey. I'll check out Chiang Mai in the next few months! Hope to catch up. Keep up the great videos!
Excited for your journey. Thanks for watching!
He forgets to tell you that if the fridge and a/c are running he pays at least another $50-60 a month for electricity and probably pays extra for water fee as well........................so the $80 a month is misleading.
Hey man, what model tripod do you use? Caught a glimpse of it in the mirror. Inspirational stuff btw. Just binged watched all your vids lol
A $4 tripod I bought in bangkok
+Cam Hooper and thanks for watching!
Can you please list the location of this apratment?
