Aloha Sergio from the Big Island of Hawai'i ! I just discovered your vids, watched one and subscribed. While I'm not a digital nomad or otherwise in your apparent target demographic --more an almost retired (61. y.o.) wanna be expat retiree--I really like your highly informative and entertaining content and production values. Chaing Mai, Pai and "the Loop" are definitely on my list, and you covered each of them really nicely. Mahalo!
I'm glad you are here! Hope you get to enjoy Thailand aswell
My favourite travel vlog. I discovered your channel while travelling in Mexico. This year, I'm planning a trip to Thailland and plan to stay in Chiang Mai for a month. I was so happy when I saw this video. Awesome work.
Thank you!
As I am a local,I feel amazed by your production.Thsnk you for show us all awesome place ,especially coffee shop.
So nice of you
As soon as this came on my feed before I knew it I’d watched the whole thing from start to finish. The quality of the production just gets better and better. Must’ve taken you so long to put together, well done man 😎
Thanks brother. You were missing on this video!
Genuinely one of the best videos out there documenting chiang mai. I felt like i was there even if ive never stepped foot in Asia. My goal is to one day be staying in thailand for 6 months every year
Good thing about your videos is i can watch them over and over and not get bored.
Wow, we didn't know that Chiang Mai is such a paradise for Coffee Lovers and Digital Nomads. Thanks for all the recommendations! Amazing video.
We call it the "mecca" for digital nomads!
One of the best videos on Chiang Mai! You really captured the beauty of one of my favorite cities in the world! Love all the shots of Santitham as well! Def the best part of town to live in.
Thanks a ton!
This is wonderfully comprehensive video thats answered so many of my questions about Chaing Mai and what it will be like to live there! Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Love the quality of your videos... I'm in pursuit of becoming loaction independant and your videos gives me motivation to do so.. Muchas Gracias mi amigo
You got this!
This was such a nice and cinematic video man. So relaxing to watch and not the in your face vlogs. Keep it up! I'm planning Chiang Mai and using your video as a basis. ty!
Thanks! Enjoy CM!
New subscriber here. That was nice and relaxing style of video. Looked like a very good documentary about digital nomad lifestyle in Chiang mai. Enjoyed it till the end
Thanks!
Beautiful and well produced video with tons of great and useful information. Thank you for sharing. Subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
Great job Sergio!! This is by far the best video about Chiang Mai. So many great coffee shops in Chiang Mai. What I like most about your video is the diverse sightseeing destinations, attractions, coffee shop and restaurants. Also, seems like you have many friends in Chiang Mai, which is awesome. Cheers!!
maybe the best YT travel video I ever watched. Awesome content, keep up the great work, man!
Thanks! 😃
Must have been quite a work to put together 1 hour video, congrats Sergio! Looking forward to watching more to come :)
Thanks a ton!
Always great to see your travel videos, whether they’re 5 minutes or 1 hour 👏 Great job! Chiang Mai looks like a dream! I feel so high on caffeine now!
Haha thanks, glad to know longer videos are acceptable too!
Appreciate your content like you may never understand Sergio, thank you. You are well regarded in the digital nomad community even when you’re not around! We were talking about you in Las Palmas last month. I’m off to Chiang Mai soon, so this video is liquid gold 🙏 Hope to one day shake your hand!
My pleasure! Love to hear the videos are impacting in a good way
Like another comment, I watched 5 mins, and right away knew I would watch the whole video. Awesome work man! footage is fantastic!
I'm blown away by everything you're showing. Even got tears seeing those elephants! Chiang Mai looks like a fantastic place to hang around for some months. Thanks for the creating this video! I can't wait to go there!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm visiting CM for the second time at the moment and it's one of my favourite places in the world. When my lease in Pattaya is up in 5 months I think I'm gonna move here for 6 months or so because it's just so beautiful and peaceful here. It's so special.
Thanks for commenting, man! And hope you enjoy your second time
I’m in love with Thailand I’m going in November I want to live there so beautiful!!!
Thank you Sergio, this is a great resource and one that I will use on my upcoming visit to Chiang Mai.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Sergio! This was awesome. I have CM on my destinations list, you made me want to go there sooner rather than later 😄 appreciated!
Glad you like it, enjoy CM!
Perfect timing. I’m heading to CM soon. Very valuable info you’ve put together and shared! Thank you brother.
Glad you liked it, brother! Wait for the Ubud video :)
Such a good and insightful video about Chiang Mai! So many things I got to add to my Google Maps. I will be traveling to parts of Asia this fall and will be working too, and Chiang Mai is definitely a place I'd like to discover as a part of my digital nomad journey :)
You are so personal and genuine. Very refreshing to watch. You cover all the bases. I love your content, filming and presentation. Congratulations. You earned and new subscriber. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Awesome. Thanks for the high-quality video.
Sergioo, watching your new videos makes me proud I have met you in person!
Woow, glad to hear that!
Huge contribution to the nomad community. Gracias Sergio!
Trying my best!
Thank you so much for this video. We are thinking about visiting Chiang Mai and we love the way you presented it. You put so much work into this video. Michas Gracias 🙏 😊
Glad you like the video, enjoy CM!
Brilliant video loved this, great content, so informative, very enjoyable 🙏🏻Thankyou !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Sergio! I've been waiting for this video for so long!! 😂 So excited to be visiting CM one day!
Haha, hope it was worth the wait!
@@sergiosala 100000%
Great video, super useful. Real added value, thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Very comprehensive and entertaining too! Love the elephants! My husband and I are planning to stay in Chiang Main next year and would like to get some more info on the best neighborhoods to stay…any material on that? Thanks, all the best!
It’s all on the video: Nimman & Santitham are the best. Do you think I should buy a proper city guide in pdf?
Best video about Chiang Mia congratulations!!!
Didn’t know how great and popular Chiang Mai was for digital nomads! Mind blown
I really enjoy this video...!!!!!! I will visit Chiang Mai...its in my wishing list of travels!!!!!!!!!! Super thanks for share!!!!!!
The craziest thing about how much of a coffee town CM has become, is that it happened in such a short time. In 2010 you could still only get some low quality coffees from a cart with a bunch of different liquids and powders added to it. Now its like... the most amazing coffee shop culture city in the world maybe.
The scale of this place is mind blowing!
Cool bro! Thanks for including me and showing off Chaing Mai!
Thank you brother for the good times! See you at Zoe next time haha
Beautiful video! Just spent 2 months in Chiang Mai myself.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video thanks!
Awesome videos, brother! Thank you so much!
My pleasure!
incredible video, keep it up
Thanks a ton!
your content is great.
Amazing video man!
thanks Alfie!
Sergio: Cada video tuyo es mejor y mejor. Thank you so much for all this information. :)
thank youu
Thanks for showing us around!
My pleasure!
I don’t know much about Chiang Mai and thanks for the update information.
Good video, Im here currently and will use your spreadsheet to help me find other places
Glad it was helpful!
¡Gran video, Sergio! Seguramente no te acordarás de mí, pero el día de las linternas te vi y te saludé. Yo tenía un poco de prisa y tampoco quería molestarte, pero fue un placer poder saludarte y decirte que me habías inspirado mucho en mi primer viaje a la maravillosa ciudad de Chiang Mai. Estoy dándole duro para llegar a ser nómada digital e irme a vivir de nuevo una temporada más en el sudeste asiático. ¡Gracias por tu contenido y sigue así! ¡Mucha suerte, bro!"
Ah me acuerdo un poco, pero gracias por comentar! Suerte con la vida nomada :)
@@sergiosala se acuerda un poco, qué bueno, puto amo1
Wonderful presentation of Chiang Mai.
Thank you very much!
GREAT VIDEO!
Thanks!
Very informative, thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
great video
planning to go Asia for a while soon, thanks for the videos very positive attitude, peace
Thanks!
Beautiful love to experience this trip especially with mong's and Elephants
Awesome video Sergio!! Fantastic production and very helpful information!!
Chiang Mai is one of the best places to live as a Digital Nomad in the whole world and the best thing is the nice people you meet there!
Congratulations!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you Alberto! And hope you enjoyed Cocoon more than me lol
@@sergiosala If you keep trying ice bath, maybe in a year you can stay inside for a whole 5 minutes without wishing to die 😜
Awesome!
this is so cool
thanks Joe!
hi bro thank you for the video
Great to run into your channel. I subscribed. How is dating Thai women there not using online sites? What type of Camera do you use? Great content
LET'S GO SERGIO!
I'm a big fan of your style man, been watching you since you made the Medellin one. Would be cool to maybe run into each other and collab one day!
Thanks man!
Like your video. You take me along in Chiengmai like a Chiengmai pro. Thx.
Wow, thanks
Have a nice day in Chiang Mai 🤗😊🫰❤️🎉🎊
Kansadarn waterfull is very beautiful,too.
Kob kun krap! Thanks
There is still a Yang Na tree road. at the tall tree and the Calae restaurant with its winter flower gardens and hillside lake.
Best 20 Cafa & restaurant near chiang mai city 😊
Thanks for the info!
306 steps from the road to the plateau of Doi Suthep. 🙏🏼
Good times! The Lantern Festival was hilarious. We burned 2 lanterns at first, before we understood how to release them. Luckily they had plenty of them🤣
Haha, I did too but of course didn't show in the video lol
Thanks!
thanks for the support!
The top city for DNs, still! Surprised to see how full Yellow is, but no wonder, it's the best coworking I've ever been to
Yellow rocks!
Hey Sergio, I was looking for more information on renting a car in Chiang Mai, but couldn't find in the links. Did you rent it from a local company? At the airport? or, where?
what is the rental cost of the apartment? Thanks! Good work!
Carnal no manches me Encanto tu video tanto que me voy manana Para thailand ❤❤❤
Gracias
Chong Khao (my spelling is probably wrong) means "crush the glass" ....the Thai version of saying cheers!
OH nice to know
cool video! where are you from, Sergio?
México!
Hi Sergio, is it better to book accommodation in advance online? Or is it cheaper to show up somewhere like P Place and pay in person?
I think you can get a good deal if you get there
Great content. Question: where would you recommend for an elderly couple to rent for 3 months ( immigration law restriction) without a car and without any interest in riding mopeds
Definitely, I've seen lots of elder couples there
This is epic! By far the best video on Chiang Mai and has some great places. I am staying in Santitham. Hit me up if you want to share places over a ☕️
Thanks man!
Great video Sergio, do you prefer chiang mai or bangkok for digital nomads? You should come visit Taiwan, I think you will like it!
Both! Very different places, will publish the Bangkok video soon. And yes Taiwan is also in the list!
@sergiosala where can I find the Bangkok video? Love your content!
Great ! Do Phuket and Bali
Next is Pai, and Bangkok!
@@sergiosala nice! I’ve been told that in Chang Mai the air quality is not good. Do you agree?
It’s only a few months in the start of the year. Check the Burning season part of the video. Overall is great there
Sergio. I can see why you use a small laptop. Good battery life, small tables, small backpack riding on a scooter. Would you gain a large benefit by having a good sized monitor, 100% Adobe RGB, DCI-P3, Rec 2020, sRBG, high nits, HDR 1000, OLED, mini-LED -- or is the Mac good enough? If you could could get your hands on a good monitor at a workspace or residence, what specs would you want? TIA (Thanks In Advance.)
I'm actually happy with just the Mac. They just released the 15", could be an upgrade for me but MBA 13" it's totally fine for me, even exported this full long video.
9:17 It is because it is an Ubosot. it is a place where they do male monk ordinations. It isn't like a regular temple. Women are allowed in all of the Thai buddhist regular temples. Just not the ordination halls .
Ah didn't know!
Cameron is everywhere hahaha
Damn, you got the don of digital nomadism on - CTF
thanks
Is there an option to rent a bicycle instead? Not to keen in scooters and motorbikes tho
It’s possible but the city is not that ideal for it.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What's the reason you choose Chloe's Bikes? Isn't it pretty expensive? I heard $60 usd/mo for rentals from a diff YTber. Just curious
I think Chloe has a good price (around 75 usd)
@sergiosala okay. One of the bikes on her Facebook said $114 USD (4000 baht) so I guess it depends. Thanks!
👍🏻
😁
How did you find this place bro? Airbnb?
Link in description, it’s on Facebook
How can I find the night market with your favorite pad Thai ?
Santitham night market: maps.app.goo.gl/pVdoaEoptu8krZLK8?g_st=ic
@@sergiosala thank you !
More monks in Chiang Mai than in Pattaya, that is good for your morals.
Hey man,
What do you do as a Digital Nomad
Web design before, now full time youtube
@@sergiosala C'mon bro....this is the first long form video you've released in forever...are shorts paying that well???? I'm a huge fan but you don't have many subscribers and views. Thats not a criticism as I hate the clickbait and walk ands talk videos that most CZcamsrs do. Eventually I'm starting a channel and your style is great and mine will be somewhat similar but I don't see how you can make a living out of YT while being a small audience YTuber like yourself. I say that because I'm curious to know because I plan on making YT a side income but given my channel likely won't even surpass yours in subs and views because the style will be like yours so I'm wondering how much money a channel like yours even brings in?
Sponsorship, man, that’s the key
nice video, but i only see westeners. chiang mai must be overrun by tourists
There’s a good mix of foreigners and locals, and CM is really big that we can’t really overrun it
these videos are too long
Oops
If a person don't drink coffee, is there any cowork space that serve tea?
Thank you for creating such an informative video on Chiang Mai. It's one of the best I've seen. I've taken so many notes for places to visit, especially for our daily Coffee fix! 😅 Can't wait to spend a month in Chiang Mai 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
