Best Budget Friendly Area in Chiang Mai For Travelers?

Welcome to my latest video, where I explore the budget-friendly Chang Phueak / Santitham area of Chiang Mai that is perfect for travelers looking to explore this beautiful city without breaking the bank.
Chiang Mai, located in the northern part of Thailand, is a popular destination for travelers looking to experience the rich cultural heritage of Thailand while enjoying the natural beauty of the region. However, many travelers are deterred by the costs associated with traveling to this popular destination.
In this video, I take a walk through one of the best budget-friendly areas of Chiang Mai, where you can find affordable accommodations and delicious local food.
The more trendy Nimman area can be more expensive, so many people head to the nearby Santitham area to find good cost of living. Chang Phuek and Santitham are still only a stones throw away from Nimman, so easy walking distance.
Whether you're a solo traveler, a couple, or a group of friends, Santitham is a great option for living on a budget but still being close to all the city has to offer.

Santitham is in the Chang Phueak District. Some would call Santitham market, Chang Phueak market.

Great video Wayne and thanks for stopping by for a green tea so we could meet the ladies. Think you should do this more often -include us when you interact with the locals. Cheers!

That was uncanny Wayne . I've been trawling FB Marketplace CM area for laptop, tablet & TV . Any TV shops mate ? . Different area Vlogs would be interesting for me as I'm researching where to liive away from tourists Looking forward to your travels mate . C Rai , Kanchanaburi , Hua Hin , Koh Chang are all good places to hit up . Used to hate Bangkok as it's so busy but it's grown on me for a stopover .

The lady at Small Talk actually owns the restaurant next door, with her husband. When I arrived in Santitham, in 2010 it was a great bar, Lek's Corner, with live music most nights. It became a restaurant a few years ago, I think because of noise complaints from the temple next door. Santitham is a great place to live. You have only scratched the surface but covered Cafe de​ ​Sot well too.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

That's right Geoff, she was telling me all about it. They run the both business. Sure, this was only the outskirts of Santitham really . As you mentioned, it goes loads deeper. Cafe De Sot is a nice place. Cheers Geoff.

[@Oggiwara1]

Chiang Puak area is my favorite area to stay when visiting Chiang Mai. Most of my stays I have stayed at Chiang Puak Hotel, which is a quiet green oasis in a otherwise busy area. Koh Chiang and the surrounding islands is my favorite islands since they are one of very few that still has an island vibe to it. Udon Thani is more interesting for a foreigner since there are more things to do and see for foreigners than in Khon Kaen. And I have never seen more eateries in any place in Thailand than in Udon Thani, except for Bangkok. Hua Hin is also a nice place, even if I like the small town of Cha Am better. Cha Am is also the place in Thailand with the least rain.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

It's a great area for travelers and a base for holidays. That area sure does have everything you need. Koh Chang is somewhere on my list, it sounds like an island i would like. Udon is another place on my list. Thanks Svein

[@jenaimorgan3611]

This is my absolute favorite video you've done so far... and my first comment. I'm looking to move to Chiang Mai later this year and would love a busy area for at least the first year, to get a real taste for the lay of the land without a car and before I get a scooter/license. With two dogs and a cat, I come with baggage. No interest in Nimman, so I'm in search of information for the other, more traditional areas around Old Town. No interest in high-rise condos. I would also love for you to focus a bit on how to not be taken advantage of by "real estate agents" since I've gathered there are no licenses or regulations, and the pay scheme seems a bit dodgy from the outside looking in. Thanks Much! J~

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Hi Jenai, much appreciated for liking the video and great to have you in the comments. Santitham would be a great starting location, it's one of the best for settling in. Everything is in walking distance and many food and shops around. I would move on from that area after time but it's a perfect first time in Chiang Mai location. I'm friends with a few Thai estate agents, so maybe that's an idea for a vlog in the future. Thanks

[@antruok4950]

Kanchanaburi is on my list - plenty of shops & bargains in Chiangmai 👌👋👍🙏 Gday mate just catching up on videos 👋

Hey Ant! I've heard alot of good things about Kanchanaburi. Hope you're good mate.

[@randolphpinkle4482]

I can't believe you completely missed Santitham Road. You are, technically in the Santitham area, but you were walking up and down Hussadhisawee Road--which is parallel to Santitham Road. No wonder it wasn't that busy LOL. That coffee shop you stopped at--make a left at that corner and walk down about 500 meters and you'll be at the bottom of Santitham Road. Then turn right and you'll get into the crazy busy area. And that restaurant on Hussadhisawee Road next to the coffee shop is 40 baht for one topping plus rice and a bowl of soup. Each additional topping is 10 baht. It usually comes out to 60 with three toppings. It's a good place. Best of luck.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

🤣I know the whole Santitham area buddy, been going for years. This can be classed as Chang Phueak also. Nothing really amazing in Santitham road. Everywhere is more quiet now also. I know all about toppings also, i get um every day.👍 Cheers Randolph.

That cafe in the garden looks really nice. Does it sell food as well or just the coffee? By the way, the smog is really bad now. Wearing a mask might help a bit, especially when you are outdoor like that. Since the beginning of the burning season, I've had a terrible headache nearly every day. Take care and enjoy your time in Chiangmai. Wish you find whatever you are looking for. 😃

[@WalkAboutWayne]

I think it sells cakes and some snacks Tracy, but that's about it I think. Yeah, I get a headache sometimes and low energy from the smoke. Mask is all good, if it's the right one. This year is the year I do wear one more than often. Hope your well Tracy 👍

Always like going on a walk about with Walk About Wayne. Always learning something. I see those shoes, I can only imagine I could find a good mesh, {breathable} military type boot there, whereas I do not wear sneakers. Thailand probably has a standard military issue for that very boot, considering their climate. I am not a floppy kind of guy, but always get dressed for street fight when I go out, and then work at being kindly to others when I am among them.

Yws Doug, a lot of students and basic rooms around this area. It's probably cheaper on the Chang Phueak side but Santitham has more to offer.
