Who here is in Chiang Mai, Thailand
- Thread starter g1c9
- Start date
My lady and I are also planning to be in Chiang Mai for a while, hopefully in a few months. I know that's far away, but a PM is highly likely because you know the burrito shop inside the wall that makes GIANT burritos. . . those burritos are meant to be raced.
and excellent guacamole there

Did some massage training there a couple of months back. Nice city - if you want a similar vibe but on an island check out koh Tao. Will be back in Mai in another 6 months or so, where you staying?
Good. Reach out.
Please do. I got cut off by a waiter the other day; we'll show 'em how we eat.
I'm staying here, this month, but I'm in the loft, which doesn't have pictures or prices online. The monthly rates are more reasonable, but frankly, like ly2, I'm just a sucker for shiny things and you know how it is here...
I'm setting up in an office here soon and then I'll downgrade my apartment a bit.
Bangkok is a huge city, with all the love/hate that comes with city life. For the next 6 months, Chiang Mai will be big enough for me... Never been to Phuket. Koh Samui is a totally different world - that's island life... Although everyone outside of BKK is more relaxed than in BKK, which is bad for my goals.
Weather is great. Rainy season means it just pours awesomely for a half hour every day or two and then it's nice and cool after for the rest of the day.
Not a big polluted city, better food, nicer people, less eurotrash, 2 awesome mountains to explore with amazing stuff on/around them. If you love beaches, sure, go to the south. If you love nightlife, bangkok is better. If you like hiking and hanging out in a more relaxed city, nothing beats chiang mai =)
I was in Bangkok, Koh Samui & Koh Tao in May. I'm planning on going back to Thailand with my wife in January for a few months - most likely being based in Chiang Mai. Would be interested in connecting with folks there.
Does anyone have experience with getting an education visa to train muay thai? Would rather do that than Thai language classes, but the idea of an education visa appeals to me.
Or combine beaches with more than two awesome mountains to explore.
Bring your machete though...
BUMPING FOR GREAT INTEREST!
I was leaning more towards language classes- Anyone care to shed some light on this?
