I'm currently in Luxury Huay Kaew and it is a very nice place to stay. if anyone does look to move to these apartments in future, be aware that they dont accept card payments so you will need cash. Rates are currently 15000 per month and and extra 600 baht for bedding if you need them to supply it. Deposit is a hefty 20000 baht but there are no issues getting this back. Electric is 8 baht per unit, water and wifi are included in price. Rooms can be cleaned when you want at 200 baht per time.

Just left yesterday morning but just moved 100 yards up the road to the Dome Residence :). You chose a nice place. Wish i could afford to stay longer but need to budget for longer term.

Good info, was wondering about bedding. What about towels for bath and kitchen? Also what size is the bedding? I can bring my own from the states to save $ Thanks!
@BFA747 жыл бұрын
Hi Vickie, they provide 2 bath towels and 2 hand towels. The bed is queen size so it would be advisable to buy bedding if staying for more than a month. The bedding they have is quite heavy and the rooms on the front of the building get quite hot.
@noyesv17 жыл бұрын
Thanks Mark, so towels are included in rent? The only charge would be for queen sheets and comforter does this include pillows? Thanks for all your helpful info. I hope they will have availability Nov 20 when I arrive :) I will be staying one month.

How did you like Ho Chi Minh? I leave in exactly one month to Ho Chi Minh to begin travelling and working. It seems Chiang Mai is the better option of the two.
Nice to see some non-budget options for once! I'm getting tired of these "live like a king for $250/month, but you can't have wifi, or a real toilet, or electricity" videos. Great stuff!

Thanks for this Chris! I really appreciate the amount of effort you put into your videos! On your travels have you come across any Chiang Mai letting agencies which advertise their properties online? I need to find a property big enough for a family of 4 so ideally I want to do some research online first to get an idea of availability and prices etc. ☺ -Darren.

Hello Chris, I like your vlog content and style. Thanks for posting. I am living in Hua Hin but am starting my research into my next city. It looks like CM is going to be it. You mentioned "the digital nomad area" and it caught my attention. I retired early (from electronics/IT/communications) and do not seek employment but enjoy helping friendly users out with PC/Network/Systems problems. So, maybe this area would be fun for me.
