The Best Budget Hotel in Chiang Mai's Old City
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 08. 2024
- I think I might have found the best budget hotel in Chiang Mai's Old City. Last month I was in Chiang Mai's Nimman neighborhood. This month I am in the Old City of Chiang Mai. The hotel I am staying at is called Parasol Inn and it's in the heard of Chiang Mai's Old City. Chiang Mai's famous night market happens right in front of this hotel every Sunday.
Let me know in the comments what you think of this hotel.

Yes, I can live there for a month! Like you, I live out of an apartment not in one. Thanks for sharing Kevin!
I liked it…and it was in the middle of town which I liked
Always great stuff here! thx man ✌️
Glad you enjoy it!
Our first meal in Chiang Mai was at the restaurant in your hotel. The temple next door is made of teak wood, I believe. Great video brought back some good memories. Great location to enjoy the old city. Appreciate your videos Master Chief. Take care
Yeah, that teak wood temple is amazing.
Thank you for the info !! enjoy and keep it rolling !!!
Thanks, will do!
Look at you Hipster Kevin LOL just kiddin' with ya...what a gorgeous part of the city of Chiang Mai...love all the history and temples!
Me too! Really cool spot to hang out for a month or so.
@@30AndAWakeUp and yes, I could live there for a month easy!!!
Hey Kevin, I've been to Thailand many times myself, and it's become my second home. I've thoroughly enjoyed your journey and insight thus far. I'm looking forward to your future vids. Thanks, and stay humble... It's working!! ☺🙏🏽
Appreciate the comment.
Thank you for the tour of your appartment. Everything you need and no clutter. Thank you for taking us along.
Thanks for watching!
Space wise it is totally fine. I would prefer a kitchenette too, a toaster and electric kettle, and a fridge so at least I can have breakfast and coffee at "home" before leaving to discover. Oh, it seems like you have a small fridge and kettle. Yeah, that's minimum. And a toaster.
Yeah, most of the places I get have those things. There actually is a kettle and coffee stuff.
Awsome video of Old Chiang Mai! 👌Thanks for the room tour 👍👍
Thanks brother.
Love it
Thanks for doing this
No problem 😊
Love the location and you got some great shots! I could definitely live there!
Thanks a lot!
That is a gem if you are into culture immersion. Typically the center places are expensive in other parts of the world
Thank you for showing us the convenience!
I really like it here :)
Best value anywhere in CM - 👌 - luv it - Well found & great footage 😎👌🙏👍
It really is!
Nice vlog Kevin living life to the max. Good luck to you.
Thanks bro! I'll be heading down south in a couple weeks.
Don't think I'll stay for a month ... but great tour to give us a chance to see what accommodations are like. Works for me. Again, nice job ... so informative. I subscribed and can't wait for more Chiang Mai travel guides.
Thanks!
Great content ❤very helpful.thanks 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
The new apartment looks pretty nice. I'm glad the market is only one day a week. You posted that clip to IG and I thought, "Man, I could not deal with that every night!" Pineapple rice is superior to all other rice dishes. Enjoy the old city.
Yeah, only one night a week!
Looks good Kevin. Right in the heart of everything. Think I could live there easily. As always great video. Jonathan 🇬🇧
Thanks 👍
Nice location. Looks like you are able to give bumble bee a little well earned rest. Have a great day!
Thanks!
I could definitely live there for a month. I’ve lived in tents in the middle east. I’ve also lived in warehouses with 79 other sand sailors (was in the expeditionary community while active duty). That would be a major step up from those and my barracks days.
Absolutely!
I could definitely stay there for a month! Will be making a note of that hotel for the future. Thanks for sharing.
Have fun!
Thanks you very much, as I’m going to Chiangmai soon in august hopefully I can book in this place for 2 weeks .
Have fun!
That apartment is a ridiculously clean✨ condo apartment hotel- I love it!!!💕🤗And to be right next to the markets, Mom and Pop Coffee shops,☕🍽️🍜🍛 and Temples is so amazing!!Love the bum gum🤭 and the shower, also! Bye for now!🌺
YEah, I dig it! :)
As inexpensive as it is I definitely could live there and eat all meals out like I’m sure you do. Thank you Kevin for these updates. Hugs, Deb
Glad you like them!
Nice and clean space in a super convenient location! With the kettle one could at least make tea and coffee, and some very basic meals. The restaurant downstairs is convenient. Seems great! How about a Night Market tour? 🍲
Night Market tour soon!
Love seeing the temples and older spaces....
Me too
Considering the location the room is really affordable 👍. I can stay there for a month, but just to sleep and bath. And I'll be using the co working space a lot. Is it free? Thanks for sharing 😎
Yeah, it's free but really just a restaurant with WiFi :)
@@30AndAWakeUp 👍so more like Pineapple Rice space😬😅
Nice I could thank you
Thanks!
I could live in a small space but I would like to have a little kitchen because sometimes I pretend I can cook. But I LOVE the location. That will be on my bucket list. Thank you.
Yeah, I get that for sure.
I definitely can live there for a month or more. Looks so fun❤
It really is!
So affordable and such a beautiful location
Yes ma'am.
Nice find. I actually checked that place out when i was hunting for a monthly rental. Ended up settling on a 6000baht all bills included, mountain view right next to Nong buak haad park which is great for the morning run 🏃♂️
Very cool
Good dude Kevin, thanks man
No problem 👍
Looks like a great spot!
It was!
Great job 👏
thanks 🙏
Hard to beat this place Kevin! My power bill here in the USA can be $400 per month (Summers). It’s nice to find a great deal in a super clean place with daily maid service and a killer location where you can walk to the attractions. Enjoy !
Exactly!
I completely ditched my Bangkok plan and booked this hotel in Chiang Mai and requested for a corner room lol. Thanks dude!
Nice!
The temples are beautiful I love their temples especially all the sculptures and everything that's in it and surrounding it that's beautiful 🙏🙏🙏 if I could afford it I would love to go there and stay especially near the temple
Yeah, it's beautiful.
You must be liking Chiang Mai you been there awhile now, I’ve just visited and had a great time, have been before about 10 years ago and hardly recognised it. So many improvements and stay in a couple of amazing hotels! Are you going to Pai, if you haven’t been it’s a must visit, the place isn’t just a cheap hippie/backpacker place, lots to see and do around the area and that amazing winding road trip will be a challenge if you going on a motorbike! Yeah you got a good deal on the hotel, ok for one person, but if it was me I would like to be able to cook my own meals occasionally!
Yeah, I'll be heading to Pai soon!
Awesome great. Travel. City.
It really is!
Hi kevin seems like you got a pretty good deal with that apartment kinda small for me but you have always said in your past videos you basically live out of your back pack😁 which is cool. Do you watch much television? Does that tv have cable? Great video my friend!
It does have cable but only like 5 english speaking channels. But I watch Netflix mostly.
I could totally live like this. For me, it wouldn't be about the room I'm renting but about where I'm renting it. I'll be spending most of my time outside and just using the room for sleep or work.
Exactly!
Amazing! love the old architecture I see why you like this country so much. Did you ever find out the security issue with that airbnb??
Yeah, they were overcharging for electricity.
You're a better man than me!
I would have preferred the $170 + electric as I only run AC at night when needed and tend to be well under 1k bht/$30 for the month.
yeah, I missed out on that deal
Love it, reminds me of the hotel I stayed in during my time in the Old City. Kevin now you’re in the Old City instead of Nimman are you riding bumble bee more often/visiting Nimman for Maya mall etc, or keeping it local/walkable in the Old City?
Keeping it local and walking.
What a bargain! Unlimited hot water and a/c; clean. Great find. Interested in food costs and options in that area. Thanks for sharing.
I'll be sharing that stuff for sure!
Life is good . Right in the heart of every thing . With a place to eat. It would be perfect for the first month I think.
Agree
pretty nice location, a month yes. but longer I need a little more of a place. I have really been thinking on going there. If I need not have to leave every 90 days. to get another visa. but I guess you can go to another close country for 90 days or less and come back. I like the idea that you can be a nomad and go here and there and everything is provided in most rentals.
I use to just take a 20 dollar flight to singapore to reset my visa.
The Buddhist temple is beautiful!
it is
Hi
Very nice , Do they have a gym or are there gyms close by to run/ workout ?
Thank you
Victor
No gym but there are a few close by.
Wonderful place and price
It really is!
A month. Easy. Eat out and enjoy Chiang Mai vibes.
Exactly!
Go to. Ountain coffee, nice vib. The Irish bakery is at the end of the alley
Will do
May I make a request? I would like to see some of the countryside, please take a motorbike trip outside the city. I enjoy all of your videos and hope to see many, many more. Thanks.
I actually showed a bunch of the countryside outside of Chiang Mai a few vids ago.
@@30AndAWakeUp The drive up to Chiang Mai video? I saw that and enjoyed it. thanks. (Not including the lizard wreck, of course.) Will you be driving to your next location?
I'll be booking 2 weeks there for sure... 🙏😁
i dig the place
@@30AndAWakeUp thanks for your reply yes it looks groovy to me just the right spot how many times you been there may I ask
Nice
Thanks
MC How the Wifi in the room is it good enough to stream like sling tv or something like that
100 up, 100 down...really good.
We'll take your advise on this one cheers! Did you find english breakfast there around the hotel ? 🥖🥓🍳☕
Yeah, youll find english breakfast in tons of places in thailand
Your hotel is one block from our hotel and we are looking to change hotels. We were eating breakfast this morning just south of your hotel at Cafe De Thaan Aoan and we saw you walk by with your camera in hand.
Oh nice! You should have said hi...wouldn't have bothered me. Im not sure this would be the greatest hotel for a couple...it's more appropriate for a backpacker style traveler.
❤️
Thank you
Good show....is internet included in the 310?
yes
Well it's certainly bigger than a van! I suppose if there was enough to do during the day and the place is only to sleep. I think if I were stuck inside for a few days I'd go a little nuts. What kinds of things do you do during the day to keep from getting bored?
All kinds of stuff to do in chiang mai. From temples, to hikes, to 100s of mom an pop coffee shops and restaurants....whatever youre into you can find.
Heck Yeah I could!😉
:)
i could easily live there for a month out of my suitcase no problem at all it's only a basecamp after all :D
Exactly!
Another great video!! I'm curious, when they come to clean the room and bathroom do you stay around to make sure nothing is stolen? I wouldn't feel comfortable at all leaving the place while a stranger is inside cleaning.
Nah, that kind of stuff doesn't really happen in thailand.
Nice place, price, and location!
Yes indeed!
🏝
Haha!
@@30AndAWakeUp
Keep them
🍀Comin🇺🇸Admiral🏝
@@jimbrown2485 Will do
is there a reason your merino wool tshirts are inside out? better venting?
i always hang them inside out....not sure if it does anything...just always how ive done it
Great price 👍🤔
Definitely.
Do you think this hotel would be a good choice for a 2 week solo trip? Also did you get vaccinated for hepatitis a and typhoid before your trip to Thailand?
Yeah, I think so. I was in the military 20 years, so I have all kinds of vaccinations. I'd check with a travel clinic and see what they recommend.
I stayed at a 4 star in the Old City for $27 a night super Zen and swank
ill have to find that spot
@@30AndAWakeUp Delanna Hotel
I need access to a pool!! Any cheap places with pool?
Yeah there are a few. Check out the Palm buildings. There are a few of them and they all have pools.
Do they have discount for long stay?
Yeah, they did
Food for to thought. $170. + Utilities or $300. All included. Would depend on electric rate. Water, petty. Could be $50. to $75 savings. I'm out 12 hrs. a day. The hottest part of the day too. Even going w $300. Scenario an excellent deal. Especially when you can try lower rent option for a month. If it's even close, the $300. is the way to go.
yeah, that makes sense for sure.
@@30AndAWakeUp 👍 good video!
Do they have a website?
I dont think so. This was about 3 years ago. I found them on Airbnb.
I just checked the monthly rate for the corner room. Now it's 25000 THB. Feb 2024
Oh wow
The room is not beautiful… But it is functional and fine for anyone’s needs. The only issue I would have would be no elevator.
Yeah, agree. Im only on the 3rd floor so no elevator isnt too bad.
I have lived with much less. Definitely could make that work with ease
yeah...not to bad
Do you have noise from the street at might?
Motorbike at night are the worst.
I never noticed any but I am a pretty sound sleeper
It's a complete bargain. Try to find something similar in Europe or US at the same price.
exactly!
I could live there with no issues. But is it gues friendly?
Yeah, they are great.
3:12 that needs a separate video. Maybe a timelapse.
I plan on doing one about the night market for sure.
Are you doing visa runs or do you know much about them? Wondering how many times you can do that without causing a panic with border patrol.
Honestly, visa runs havent existed for 2 years now. Will they come back, maybe? But not sure. I'd be completely guessing if it can still be done since it's been so long since it's been even possible. :( sorry! :(
Is the internet decent? I don't expect it to be great, but at least usable for watching videos and stuff?
Yeah, Chiang Mai has good internet almost everywhere. 50 up, 50 down
That place now is at 20K Bahts/month for a room within no window! 🤪☹️
Yikes!!!!
Prices have gine up there. Im spending $200 more and only staying 15 days 😢
Oh wow!
Not clear what hotel that is. I know the area and looked it up. Others may not be able to do so. This hotel is one of five sister properties ( sleep mai group)
Parasol Hotel. I put the name in the vid description.
wheres the hipster area in CM?
Nimman
@@30AndAWakeUp cheers
What is *Gooda ?
The cheese?
The website where you booked that place? Never heard of it!! Silly not cheese!!!
@@museumholictv Agoda
@@30AndAWakeUp thank u Kevin
Nice hotel but a week I think would do it
i get that for sure
Well its not the CETUS condominium you had ???? L.A Rob
What till you see the view I have next month!
I can live there for a year
I lived there for a month
I could make that my permanent home.
haha...I'd need a little bit bigger fridge.
Comment
Thanks
Not for me if it doesn't have a pool I'm not interested.
Next month's place has a pool and an ocean view!
Yes, live outside not inside, you will live inside your grave forever anyway....😂
Exactly!
What happened to the bike trip? I don’t know what this channel is, do you? There’s no direction or focus. I unsubscribed months ago.
I completed my bike trip to Chiang Mai. This channel is a general travel and nomad channel. Been traveling for 3 years now and documenting it. It's not for everyone. Good luck finding content you enjoy! :)
@@30AndAWakeUp no, you bought a motorbike and promised a touring Thailand on a bike blog. Instead you’re making videos about god knows what, not general travel that’s for sure. The months go by and there’s nothing happening. Another pointless directionless channel with nothing to say other than “I’m in Thailand, give me views”
great video
Glad you enjoyed it
@@30AndAWakeUp when is your next video on Bald and Bitcoin
I just tried to book this place November 10th 2022 and they are FULLY BOOKED!!
oh no....there are a few other places right around there
@@30AndAWakeUp I will try. thanks
Sorry mate.... I live in CM.... at 10,000 + bht a month for that standard room..... u got ripped off........ yes it’s cheaper when u compare to home but in Thailand (CM especially) you can get way better rooms and deals..... every one has a different perception so everything is valid.....
Yeah, probably so.
