Cheap Thailand Condo 🇹🇭 Chiang Mai
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 01. 2022
- You can rent a condo for as little at $160 a month in hippest neighborhood in Chiang Mai! I'm not only going to give you a tour of one of the units, I am actually going to spend the night in the condo and let you know if I could live there for a month or longer.
Link to reserve condo: ptresidence.com/
One of the amazing things about living in Thailand is how inexpensive housing can be. I've shared my Thailand condos in the past that ranged in price from $300 to $600 a month. Some of you reach out and said please show us condos in the $200 and under range. So here you go!
Let me know what you think!

Great job Kevin. I just gave up my lease in Mexico. I’ve been going back-and-forth there for two years. Charlie from Boston, USA here I’ve been looking a Chiang Mai. These videos you do are a big help. I didn’t think I could afford Nimman. I had no idea I could get something for that. I was spending 500 American in Mexico. I thought I would spend five in Thailand. I think I will stay in that area now starting next month in November for the winter. This is new for me. Thanks brother.
I love CM!
i stayed here for 3 months a few years ago in a room with kitchen. Brilliant location and highly recommend. Either here or the slightly more expensive condo building next door called the Mirror are great spots.
I've been staying in the Mirror for over a month now. Got a tour here as well.
No excuses , I hear this part of Thailand is good for vegetarians like me . Looks really good . Liked and subbed .
Lots of vegan and vegetarian options here in Chiang Mai
New sub. Enjoyed your vid. Would like you do in quieter area and ground level, older style with less units. Thanks.
New sub. I love your content!
🤮 Vegan 🥦🥕🌽 food is awful...
😍 🐄🐷🥩🐔
One thing I would like to see is explaining what it would be like to be a newbie since you have traveled there before maybe talk about what it was like your first time. Also look through the eyes of a female traveler… What areas are safe, etc. Your video had great content keep that up!
Will do and anywhere in thailand is safe
In Thailand all areas are safe. Amazing and fantastic especially for single female travellers like you and I :)
good point cant see any woman youtubers have you had a chance to go ? and how was it i am going to in about 1 month
Fantastic and well thought out video Kevin! Really enjoyed the brief walk around of the neighborhood prior to the actual condo showing. Loving your channel! Keep killing it 🤘!
Thanks Erich.
Hey Kevin! Really like this style of video! Would love to see the extreme inexpensive and a really swanky one too! This is cool seeing the neighborhood and the local places you know are good!
Thanks, Joni.
I like this format. Thank you for testing this out! The neighborhood looks great!
Glad you like it!
looking good Kevin. Rachel Ray. wow. That's pretty cool. Take care. Thanks for the video
Thanks bro! Missing my beach view though.
I really like the condo visit format you use. I plan to travel slowly around Thailand and this is super helpful. Keep up the great work Kevin 👍👍👍👍
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks Kevin. This VDO is very informative and useful! Subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
Did any one else feel the powerful intro👍 Kevin is all pumped up, so are we!
haha....
Love this type of video Kevin. CONGRATULATIONS on 80.2K subscribers !!! That’s AWESOME!!!!! I’d love to come to Thailand; just don’t want to deal with the stuff you went through. I’ll wait like some others are going to do. Hopefully by the time things are cleared up in my finances; I’ll be traveling WW again ! Enjoy and stay safe, Deb
Thanks, Deb.
Hi Kevin! Great video as always. I think it would be cool to see extremes. Maybe one night in the absolutely cheapest place, then another in the most expensive, so that we can see the difference. Love the videos! Thanks for the great content
No problem Bruce!
Totally dig this! This is exactly what I want when I come back to Thailand someday. Cheers!
I might stay there next month. Can't beat the price.
Love the room that you were showing in the the places you walked in yesterday the other day thanks for sharing just stay safe over there and be careful and have fun thanks for sharing your wonderful videos 🙏🙏😇😇
Thank you, I will
thanks, Kevin. Love this format. Great to have you actually try the hotels on our behalf.
Glad you enjoy it!
Wow! There were 4 people on that scooter that passed behind you!! Great tour and can’t believe how inexpensive it is to be pampered there!! Thanks for showing more of the options available!
haha..yeah common to see that! :)
Yeah good format great video. I like the cheaper range of accommodation so was pleased to check out this condo, Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it & will do. Ill try to find one.
Love the apartment series. I stayed at PTResidence for 3 months and it was a great value. The coffee shop was so convenient and the cat graffiti fried chicken place next to the cafe was my favorite food stall
I totally agree!
A really nice video. I will be in Chiang Mai in the beginning of February so this kind of video is super helpful. Thanks
No problem!
Yes. Love the format. For me it’s important to know about the noise level and bed comfort as well as other details. I appreciate it!
Awesome, thank you!
Love the format. Great job
Awesome, thank you!
Yes I like this format very much! This is very important information to me at this time. A US resident looking to eventually relocate in my dream Thailand, all of the day to day useful real life information is much appreciated . Thank you
Great to hear!
Great video. I've been binge-watching your channel since finding your cruise videos, but this is awesome content with looking at and staying in different places. It's nice to see your viewpoint after staying in it an using the amenities for a day or so. Looking forward to more videos!
Thanks, Eric!
Just subscribed. I enjoy the way you present different aspects of Thailand. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Awesome, thank you!
Great “hands-on” video. Loved it! My wife likes to do some cooking, which is why we usually look for one bedroom units to keep the cooking smells away from the bed.
Understand that for sure.
Thanks for the neighborhood and apartment tour. Both seem great, very livable. I’m fine with the price point you’ve been showing, but I get that others might want more range. The local brewery where I meet for afternoon book club has salsa events that start at 9 pm - past my bedtime these days! It is fun, I used to go in my youth, Chicago has a good scene (or did). 💃🏻I remember the head shave video!
I need to take another salsa class!
Hey Kevin, great video and format. I think looking at a range of options would be interesting to see what you get for your money.
Thanks.
yeah i subscribed love the info you have for us...and yeah i would like to see you stay in even cheaper budget places..i plan to move there in the future
Will do!!
Hey! My husband and I just past you on the street in Chaing Mai today. Great to see you keeping up interest for this dear city. Definitely seems like Covid has made it's mark since we were here three years ago...but it's still one of the world's great places!
I noticed you guys! I couldn't tell if you recognized me or where just trying to figure out which way to go! I was heading to a Cat Cafe! haha!
Thanks for the video. Thumbs up from me for this format.
Glad to hear it!
Yeah loved this format.
Do more cheaper rent videos 💛
Will do!!
1st time watching your channel.
Excellent job.
Thanks and welcome
Thanks Kevin for a very thorough tour of your "hipster" hood and the condo...very very nice...really can live like a king or queen for very little money.
Glad you enjoyed it, Michelle.
Thanks Kevin can you pay downstairs walk in ? It seems reasonable
Great review Kevin! I like this format. Keep it going!
Thanks bro! Will do! How is Medellin treating you? Miss that place.
Love the fact you actually stayed there for reviews that was great. Just shows you don’t have to spend lot’s of money for a nice place to stay. Jonathan 🇬🇧
yeah, so affordable
Love it when you make these types of videos!
More to come!
Love this video. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! Thanks for the insight!
Thanks bro!
Great video 🇺🇸
keep up the good work
🇺🇸thanks again
Thanks 👍
Thanks for sharing your video / information.
No problem!
Great idea for videos! Good info. That would work for me. I love studios too.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for doing this one!! Yup, I remember the shave the head vlog 😃 I do like this format!
Glad you liked it!!
I love the format and honest review of apartment and neighborhood, take us out to salsa dancing lessons 🕺🏻🎶💃🏻
Will do!!
Real information thank you
Thanks D!
Gosh, what a great video! I can't believe that you can rent a perfect clean studio for under $300.
It’s actually cheaper than that now. I saw it on Airbnb for 220!
@@30AndAWakeUp That's so cool! Thanks 4 the update Kevin!
Really like the format of actually staying in a place for at least one night. I won't recommend what type of place to stay next only because that condo you stayed in a over looking the ocean in Jomtien is totally my style personally. 👍
Next month I'll be in a similar place with nothing but ocean view.
Thank you for another great video. 😈, maybe a stay at a hostel in a bunk room... Don't forget your ear plugs and shower sandals. No really, I like that you stayed in the condo over night, and walked around the area. You can save the hostel tours for the Appalachian Trail or the Camino Del Santiago. Thank you again for taking us along.
Will do! :)
I think this place would suit me fine. Price is right and looks super clean and efficient. My big thing is it has to be quiet. I can’t stand any noise from a Unit above or noise from a busy Street. It’s always a roll of the dice but good thing is places in CM are good with short term leases. I always try for a top floor Unit but I have lucked out with Units on a lower floor as well. Love the idea of you testing out the Unit for us! Nice job as always Kevin !!!
I'd probably get one on a higher floor if I was you or in a more quiet part of town. It can be noisy in this neighborhood.
Great content buddy.
Much appreciated!
I like your idea of actually staying there. I agree with you that I prefer studios but I also like a nice outdoor area with a pool.
Me too! That's the only downside.
Your information is very helpful 👍
Glad to hear that
Nice video and interesting. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
I enjoyed the video it was very informative. Knowing all this information I would be more comfortable visiting Chang Mai and Jamtien.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Aloha Kevin! YES on the video format. Agree with you to tour various units at different price points. Please consider say, 15,000 baht or more. A great neighborhood with many useful businesses... massage, restaurants, shopping, but I personally would value several nightclubs nearby. Bill
Will do
Great video Kevin. I never thought about the fact that other apartment reviewers only spend 15 minutes in a rental when making a video until you mentioned it in the livestream. This is the exact style condo I would rent. I'm off to Korea soon with the military. Maybe I'll do a barracks room review. 😂😂
I've heard the barracks in Korea are pretty nice! I'd watch!
I went to Korea for exercises several times and usually stayed in a tent. The Army & Air Force bases had nice facilities and the chow was good.
@@TXMEDRGR I hear the food and facilities are better than some of the Army bases in the US. I won't be able to film much on the base, but when I go on a hike or anywhere in the local area I plan on making videos.
@@goinggrays I would love to see the facilities... When I was a teenager we stayed at some airforce, navy and army bases when we traveled for high adventure programs. I loved the facilities. As a chaperon later, it was not so great, because well teenaged girls and young enlisted men need more separation. 😉😷
@@anitasimmons3599 Although I would love to do a walking around tour like Kevin recently did in Chang Mai, I am not allowed to film on any military base. We don't want the bad guys to figure out where all the important stuff is 😉. But I can definitely do a barracks tour and additional videos when we take day trips to go for mountain hikes, city tours or museums. Feel free to follow along! 👍
Hey Kevin! Great video, very informative.
I was wondering, it would be cool if you could B-roll some events, after you introduced us to the apartment, of small things that you do throughout the day like say go down to your favorite restaurant that’s nearby or buying toiletries at the 7-Eleven, brushing your teeth in the bathroom, showing us some of the foods that you eat for lunch and dinner and how you ate lunch/dinner in or out of your apartment. A nice B roll of those situations; maybe with some music in the background would be a pretty cool thing before you show the part where you wake up in the morning... like a complete-day experience of that apartment life.
I use to do those kind of vids and no one ever watched! And they take a lot of work. So I quit! But maybe I'll go back to that at some point.
@@30AndAWakeUp Ah okay… You already vetted that out. I was thinking it would pull more peeps so that you can get that hundred K subscribers.
Yeah you gotta have a balance between work and time for self. Makes sense my friend.
Plus, if you keep going the way you are with the frequency you’re putting out the vids, then the 100k will come in due time.
yep keep on doin what ya doin its all good kevin
Thanks, Ian.
New to your Channel. Video nicely done. That studio (and condo) hit the sweet spot for me :
1. Basics; clean; bed looks good; nice little balcony; clean, modern bathroom;
2. Conveniently close to coffee shop and restaurants, as well as 7-11;
3. Apparently quiet at night (you did not complain); and
4. Bed must have been comfortable.
However, no swimming pool and no exercise room. Hmmm.
So, only one other wish not offered, but that's a personal choice. I wont go into that.
A good "Spartan" offering. I like it.🙂
Yeah for about another $150 US a month you can find a spot with a pool and gym.
Ira great. I have sandals on the ground in 4 sleeps. Thanks for the content
Congrats!!
I loved the video Kevin and would love to see more like this. One question I have. How difficult would it be for a person (like me) who only speaks English?
Easy, English is common here.
Thanks for the video and testing out the room. It's one large useful closet space for long-term stay, well located apartment. Personally I'd use some affordable coworking space nearby (there must be?) for a better chair and deeper desk. 🤞 hope the price doesn't go up once the pandemic subsidies or cause of the demand after your video 😉
yeah there are a dozen coworking spaces in this area!
Hello Kevin happy New Years
Happy new year!
Wow! I don't know you're in Thailand now. No wonder, I haven't seen your clips with RV for long time. I do not have a chance to visit my hometown for 15 Years. I hope you are happy and enjoy Thailand.
I am enjoying it.
Love what you are doing
Thank you!!!
New viewer just subbed! Looking to work remote so need nice budget accommodation 😁
Welcome aboard!
Love your content, thinking of retiring this year. Are these places children friendly will be traveling with my 8 year old.
Yes, absolutely, there some good youtube channels with families in this area and other areas in Thailand.
What a great option for a month or so. Awesome neighborhood. Do another neighborhood as well same price range. Close to a park. Tell us about transportation there . Thanks Kevin Stay safe
Will do!
I like that studio. Thanks for sharing. What camera do you use?
Iphone 12
Looks great !
Thanks
Thanks for that Kevin. I did my bit in your drive for 80K. I think a lot of other CZcamsrs lure you in with the extremely attractive real estate agent and the room review is secondary.
I'd have no problem staying there but probably only for 3 or 4 weeks. I stayed at a 3500 baht per month place 500 metres past Maya Mall a few years ago and to be honest it was grim. I'm staying at Astra Condo for 9000 baht on the other side of Chiang Mai from next week for a month.
Nice I need to check that place out.
I do love the format. I know this was a while ago but you didn't mention if the pricing was based on a year lease or if we can book shorter like 3 months. Thanks!
it was a month to month price.....I think you can get it cheaper with a longer lease
Nice video. Wish you could have shown multiple options in this building. BTW, you mentioned watching Netflix- how did you do that?
If you check out the link in the descriptions you can see all the other units. I watched netflix on my Ipad
O.m.g. awesome accommodations thanks for sharing
See you soon neighbor lol
I am so so there ...... .
New kid on the block here
All the best God bless ye ken
Thanks for stopping by!
Very nice Kevin ; again Salamat
Thanks!
What a great studio, and yes to an even more budget review! Did you put the washcloth on top of your head? 😄
haha...no there was a spot to hang it!
A good video ,and a good place to live for 1 month
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent video and it is great that you actually stayed there. Was it noisy? you can hear others above/next to you? im planning to move to Thailand and you have shown how affordable it can be. thanks
Im a pretty sound sleeper but I didn't notice any noise at all.
@@30AndAWakeUp o..Did you rent an apartment in Chiang Mai and just stay there or you travel to other places and return ?
I want to see 'all the above'. Every scenario and price point is interesting to me. Thanks
Will do.
Great deals on monthly rentals in CM, compared to 4 star hotel in BKK which you could easily spend the same amount for just a few nights. Only preference I have is a 1 bedroom to keep work-life balance!
Understand that for sure.
Thanks. I am seriously looking at my finances and working out if I can live abroad for longer. I was really worried that I would have to cut my visit down as accommodation was going to be the big thing. I know I don't want to live in a slum but a really budget friendly place that is clean and modern. I am going to look out for this sort of price range for at least some of my travels so that my money can go further and I can see more places. But I have to say the swanky apartments with 2 or 3 swimming pools, gyms and high level gardens ALL FOR SO MUCH LESS THAN A ROOM IN LONDON are quite seductive. 😂 I can't wait to come to Thailand and explore the rest of the world. Post Covid trip here I come!
Yeah, I kind of mix posh places in between budget personally. Makes the lifestyle more affordable.
UPDATE: PT Residence now starts at 9000/mo with a 10k deposit.
6500/mo rooms were full. Same size as room you stayed in but older furniture, per Mgr.
7b Electric, 100b water.
Revovery is definitely in full bloom🤷♂️
Thanks!
Stay the night is a nice spin on the 'what it costs' videos.
?? Are there a lot of southern Thai food options in Chiang Mai now? I was there years ago, before all the digital nomads, and I prefer southern Thai food. Since my travel is all about food, I've never gone back to N. Thailand. But I do remember it being a very nice place. I loved the old market in the walled city and the night markets.
There are some southern options but mostly Norther.
Very nice room, great price. Like that it's near places to eat. You didn't mention if it was a weekend or weekday. Just wondering if noise level changes. 🤔
It was a Saturday night. No noise that I could hear but Im a pretty deep sleeper.
Thanksss for your kind help.
Hello from Türkiye 🇹🇷
No problem! I miss Turkey! Can't wait to visit again.
@@30AndAWakeUp get here soon, we just cam back from Turkey in December. Its insanely cheap now that the lira has crashed. On first time there we only got 4 lira to dollar. This time 13.50 lira to dollar..... perhaps cheaper than thaliand now..
Yes, more of this. Even cheaper would be fun to see.
Will do
Heading to Chiang Mai for dental work, reserved a room for 60 baht a day about 10 kilometers North of city center. This will definitely be a backup location, thanks.
Very cool.
Just subscribed. Be cool to see average living expenses or how much you spend in a day. A normal day and a splurge day. Especially if you make your way back to the beachfront in Pattaya or Phuket. See you in a few years when I finally retire from the Navy.
Thanks for the suggestions! Retirement is a wonderful thing!
Nice room. That "brick" and b&w tile remind me of a barber shop for some reason! 🤣😂
Right?!
I would have to love the one with the kitchen
Understand that for sure
Hey Kevin, thanks for the tour! Was wondering if the budget friendly option includes maid service?
Yes, all options get weekly maid service.
@@30AndAWakeUp amazing! Why am I living in super expensive Sydney lol
Nice apartment good prices thank you Kevin
You bet
@@30AndAWakeUp Not bad little place good to see you Kevin'' hugs
Yes, keep this format in condo reviews.
Will do!
Loved the video, I would like to see the $100 versus a $500 per/month apartments. What about parker a scooter is it included?
Yeah, there is scooter parking.
Nice approach. Your review is thorough. I would like to see upscale neighborhood accommodation in rage of 15000 to 20000 Baht/ month (large open one bedroom place). Thanks !
I'll try
Nice video. Could you do a tour in the one and two bedroom condos in that building too.
I'll see if i can
@@30AndAWakeUp Ok..great. You don't have to sleep in them all...lol
Just wanted to let you know I appreciate your videos and I would also be interested in cost of buying condos. Being a veteran my retirement would allow me to live like a king out there LOL.
It definitely will!
The US does have on demand hot water. It is a tankless system. Many newer homes are going to them. Also people that are refurbing their homes are putting them in. Cost more than regular water heaters. They are for the entire house not just for the shower.
Good to know...thanks.
We have had whole house instant hot water heaters and point of use instant hot hater heaters for 20 + yrs in the US. They are great and would cut a lot of wasted water and electricity use if It was made mandatory to have point of use at every sink. I know Target had them in the restrooms 20 yrs ago and I was looking at my first one for my house then. Just an FYI for anyone who is interested in them. Oh and they really dont cost that much.
Yeah, they really are great.
thanks for this. I'll keep it in mind Chiang Mai is a nice relaxed place. No swimming pool though?
Not in this building but most do.
