Cheap Chiang Mai Apartment with Swimming Pool

Several months ago I lived in a great apartment called Srisuwan Mansion, located just outside Chiang Mai City Center in northern Thailand.
I have revisited the condo in this video to show you around, to show you the prices and what you can get for your money.
If you're coming to Thailand I would highly recommend Srisuwan condo, especially if you are on a budget.
The condo comes with a 3-month lease and one-month rent upfront.
Excellent value for money, even if you are staying in Thailand long term.

[@brett_dev]

[@SomethingSoOriginal]

Nice walkthrough thanks, looking to come to Chiang Mai within the next month, scoping out if i could move there semi-permanently once saving up some money back home

[@brett_dev]

Enjoy your trip. Glad you found the video helpful.

[@hubbards]

Just became a sub. Love informative vids like this. Plan to retire there in another year so current info like this is really helpful. Cheers

[@brett_dev]

hubbards thank you for subscribing and very happy to help. Please let me know if there are any particular topics you'd like me to cover!

[@northyippie7789]

Good content. Thanks.

[@delarow]

Living here is a fraction of China's living city prices. I just subscribed I'll be looking out for your videos. I've been looking into Chiang Mai as the next location. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@brett_dev]

Thanks Drew, hope to see you in Chiang Mai soon!

[@DanielRoberts420]

Another interesting video, Brett. Thanks for the consistant uploads. Internet prices are insane there!

[@brett_dev]

No problem Daniel happy to help. If you know others who this would help please share :)

[@doug356]

Just found your channel, excellent info. thanks.

[@brett_dev]

Thanks for the comment doug356

[@NickE-db7gw]

nice one mate! thanks for the upload

[@brett_dev]

No worries Nick. If you have any other questions related to Chiang Mai come on over and join our new Q&A community site at www.askchiangmai.com

[@NickE-db7gw]

Brett Dev thanks mate, will do!

[@darkmattersproject2951]

Great video

[@gerrygold9273]

Thank you for showing us these. It gives us an idea of what to expect. I like these videos, keep doing what you do.. 😄 😄 😆 😅 ✔👍✌🍒💜

[@brett_dev]

Thanks for the comment Gerry, happy their helping. :)

[@TruthWarrior144]

I like it and the area seems quiet as well. I will get in touch. Thank you.

[@brett_dev]

Nicholas Hodies its a good area if you want to be away from the city. The air quality is fresh as well unlike living in the city.

[@armaankhan87]

Three of the rooms are nice and price is also good,,,

[@gooblio]

Great video look at some reasonable priced condos, another person was showing me their condo at $850 a month, give me a break. Yes, it was nice, but for the money you save you could kit your condo out with the best of everything. I guess if you were going to Chiang Mai for 3 months max. maybe, but still in Pattaya you could do better and the ocean is your play ground. Not that I stay in Pat, but just outside the city.

[@victorkh7]

Thanks for this great informative video Brett! The place looks fantastic. How about transportation to the city?

[@brett_dev]

Thanks victor. You'll need to get a motorbike. Will take you about 10 mins to ride into the old city from there.

[@rhondarose8180]

wow the one for 188 is great

[@annecorey607]

Is very nice there good weather not like in. U, K, very wet or wildly and good food and cheap I love it there if you don,t wast money on the woman you be alright thank you for sharing best of luck. Bless you .

[@jimbofoster1]

Great videos Brett. As a Brit, could you explain visas?

[@JimmyPrice808]

Great Video Brett. I'm moving to Chiang Mai in a couple weeks and video's like this are perfect. I'll def check this place out. Just need to consider if the price difference for any places closer to the city are worth it. Any chance you are going to upload the video on your cheap scooter rental contact soon? Some info on costs and rules for any damage would be great as I have heard it might be a better option to just buy one and sell it when leaving.- Would be great to get your input. Cheers mate!

[@brett_dev]

Hi Jimmy yes will get this up this week for you!

[@JimmyPrice808]

wicked mate, cheers.

[@AdamSmith-my9sm]

Thanks a lot for the video. I'm planning to move to Chiang Mai in the near future. Do you have any comments about owning a car or bike, and their respective costs? Also, is the shower water heated?

[@truckerfromreno]

LOve this type of video.

[@brett_dev]

Thanks Bobby, let me know what you want to see and I'll try making a video about it.

[@truckerfromreno]

Brett Dev Nice one Brett. I think with the pound plunging everyone is concerned about the cost of their winter trip to LoS. I'm hoping to go for three months, shortly, and the exchange rate is making things tight. I'll probably have to stay in Pattaya and Chang Mai to stay within budget.

[@sineeyu]

Yeaaah really useful xD Thank you

[@olivia8257]

Thanks for the great video, really helpful. I love the apartment you recommended, especially the swimming pool. I‘ll head to Chiang Mai this month, is there any apartment like this one in the video for rent short term? like a month?

[@brett_dev]

Hi Haley, this one is for 3 months minimum. If your coming for a month I'd recommend checking Airbnb. A lot of people own condos like this and rent them out on Airbnb. Use this link and you can get a discount as well - www.airbnb.com/c/brettg880

[@olivia8257]

thank you so much, i'll check it now

[@twizzler3b]

That's my umbrella and hammock on the 6th floor balcony ;) I had one of the big balconies looking at the mountain, was a nice place. They make you pay 100 batht to swim in your own pool though, which is why there's hardly ever anyone in it :/

[@myfavouritelee]

Whattup Dan my old Srisuwan buddy man 😎

[@michaelfederman3067]

Lots of great info but how much for health insurance?

[@zanelor4266]

I've been looking on KZbin for awhile on apartment... and this place is the best that I liked because it's not far from the tourist location. Good price. I'm a light sleeper. I hear everything when I sleep. Are there noise at night? Is it possible to make a video on the $9000 BHT rooms on this location?

[@brett_dev]

+Zane's World I won't be going back to make another video but if you want quiet this is your best option.

[@harunji]

Give me a link where I can rent a Srisuwan please

[@karentemplesnow8960]

Aahh.. This reminds me how straightforward it is to just move in to a place in Thailand! What are you doing regarding visas at the moment now they've changed the rules? You don't look old enough to be on a retirement visa! xx

[@lucaisho680]

What changes are there to the rules? I've been thinking of staying in Thailand for a long term vacay - thanks!

[@patrynaswritings7617]

Can we ride a bus or train into town. So are you paying 1st months plus last month deposit up front so that's 2 months ?

[@charliewilliams2735]

How do I find a place? I see places like Phuket villas but they want $700 usd per night. I’m wondering why the huge gap in price? Anyway. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

[@qonitabadegestm9989]

how's the water is there chlorine need a filter?

[@nomadglobal8551]

hello ok but who should I contact if I want an apartment?

[@janandersson6860]

Btw have you visit Ayuttaya sometime (maby done a video from there).. Ask Thai people what this is for kind of city (geuss the hug you - when you show intresst of it).. ;)

[@brett_dev]

No but it's been on my list of places to check out forever!

[@BodhiSoftMobileApps]

Thanks for another valuable video. Some questions: 1) Can you rent out bicycles for cheaper than a motorbike? I don't mind the pedaling and it helps get your exercise in for the day without a separate gym workout. 2) I've heard lots of places explicitly say "no actual cooking inside the units." Is that the case w/this one? Is cooking in your "no cooking allowed" apartment kind of a don't-ask-don't-tell thing there? 3) Are there produce markets for cheap healthy fresh fruits and veg withing walking distance? I'm not joining any cults, but been going more raw lately and it seems to work for me.

[@brett_dev]

Yep you can get a bicycle cheaper, but you'll have a much greater chance of getting knocked off it than you would a moped. I'm not sure about the cooking rules, most of those rules apply to having a huge propane tank in your room. A small gas stove is the way to go, you can buy them for about 500 baht. Or even an electric one. 90% of Thai people cook in their rooms. The area has great community food markets, in a coming video I show you around the local food market here, would take about 5/10 mins to walk there from here.

[@grape1829]

Pool looks green, not gonna put my eyes in that, lol.

[@wk7291]

Hi I wish I could stay here - nice little kitchen area and spacious balcony. But you do need a motorbike, correct? I'm hoping to find an apartment from where it is easy to catch a songthaew since I am a little chicken about driving.

[@brett_dev]

Yes you'll need a bike, it's about 10 mins from the city.

[@ipuluforu]

Hey Brett great video. I don't know if you remember or not but I met you at lucky bar on 20th Jan in Chiang mai. I am planning to re-visit chiang mai and would like to stay for few months. Just wondering if the rents and deposits are same? Or have they increased???

[@brett_dev]

Yes, I remember meeting you. Prices are the same but sometimes places are full in the high season so you have less choice.

[@pangww9881]

this place was good for ppl who working in home not go out often coz i so far away from the City , not easy to get food , you need car or motobike if you think you going to live here , swimming pool i never see ppl go swimming there , 100 bath for swiming one time .

[@rikcoach1]

Hey man thanks for the vids. Is there public transport or Tuk tuks that run out there? How much are taxis?

[@brett_dev]

Rick Wieland I see some taxis ride past sometimes, you'd probably be waiting a while. Everyone who lives there just has a bike or a car.

[@brucestrong9600]

you can phone a baht bus (red pickup truck) and usually get one to come that way... uber if they are still running...

[@heat2283]

What about driving licence? I have 50cc (and car as well) permit for my country which is also available in the rest of European Union, but would that be available there? Also, would it be possible to rent a scooter for a longer period, like one month? Thank you!

[@heat2283]

Nevermind, I've just found your video about this. :)

[@michaeldundee8300]

How is the hospital in Chiang Mai?

[@randallwyatt651]

Hi Brett. What was the cost of the large apt unfurnished? Thanks, have a good day.

[@brett_dev]

6500 baht

[@Cielogrande1]

Are there any decent gyms near here? Not your typical hotel style treadmills/few machines but a proper gym with dumbells, barbells and a squat rack etc?

[@brett_dev]

About 10/15 mins away on a bike. There could be some that I don't know of.

[@Cielogrande1]

Brett Dev thanks for the reply! Heading over in September

[@joshuae668]

Hey mate, what are the internet speeds.... never mind you just answered it..... and AC... no, you just answered that too.

[@yanapolo7925]

Great video, do you know if they are pet friendly? I`m moving to CM with my cat

[@brett_dev]

Yana Polonskaya yep, I know a guy who lives there and has a dog

[@yanapolo7925]

Thanks! Great to know, as I`ve only heard about Flora House. Will check it out, as it look really nice, especially the decked ones

[@shaunpierce4174]

2:35 did that car short-cut the roundabout? He's driving on the left so should have gone right round it, no?

[@drew32]

Great place but bummer about the pool. Just read a comment it's 100 baht a day to use it. That's almost a deal breaker for me. Brett do you know if there is a gym nearby? If so are they pay as you go too? Thanks... oh and just subbed to your channel looking forward to seeing your other vids.

[@twinturbo5212]

Hillside Gold Gym I found to be one of the best locally

[@artofnoise8255]

Salt water pool?

[@DaveDoesCambodia]

When you say it's about 10 minutes from the Old City, do you mean on foot or by bike? Thanks!

[@brett_dev]

David Royce by bike David

[@DaveDoesCambodia]

Thanks Brett! It looks amazing. :)

[@ijames1222]

what can I get for 25,000 - 30,000

[@johnrichards9361]

150 Bucks a place to rest your head clean up great place to stay why ya find a deal and area ya want to stay geat!

[@MM-jn2om]

Are elevators common? I am flying my Mom over to visit after my first year. I was wondering if elevators were used or just stairs. I know in South Korea and building over 6 floors has to HAVE an elevator in it.

[@brett_dev]

M M in most places but not all. This building has elevators.

[@brucestrong9600]

thai law.... more than 4 floors must have elevators.... 4 floor or less.. usually not.

[@keithprice7119]

Do you have any idea how long it takes them to install the high speed internet connection to your room? I am hoping to move in here and need to have a fast connection asap. Is their wifi fast enough for skype/Google Hangouts?

[@brett_dev]

They'll come out usually the next day.

[@keithprice7119]

Brett Dev brilliant. Thanks.

[@keithprice7119]

Last question. Any idea what the installation fee is or do you just pay the first month's connection upfront?

[@brett_dev]

K3ITH Price free one month up front

[@keithprice7119]

Thank you. I fly out on Tuesday. Can't wait to be back in Thailand.

[@onClickAvi]

Hey Brett, do you stay in CM during the burning season? what are your thoughts about that?

[@brett_dev]

[@magnusfredberg7538]

Please make price in Euro or Bath.

[@BDT31]

What sort of visa did you go for mate??

[@brett_dev]

+Waffle Stomp if your coming from your home country get a multi entry tourist visa. I've done another video about this on my channel. That'll give you 6-9 months. Should you want to stay longer during that time you can arrange another visa. Education, work visa. Whatever you end up doing.

[@rhondarose8180]

April your electric will go up 107 F

[@brucestrong9600]

i've lived in thailand for over 25 years and have not ever needed to use ac. fan is just fine for me.

[@luckclumonM3]

Could 10, 000 dollars be enough to get started in thailand??

[@rhondarose8180]

way more than enough unless you drink it away!!!

[@chang112x]

i could live 1 year in chiang mai with 10k dollars, maybe more.

[@carlosmunoz733]

I can live there 2 year with 10.000 bucks

[@janandersson6860]

Have you being in Ayuttya? Tempel and history city (just north of Bangkok).. Can people ex. Farang rent a place there? proce, location, who it loooks.. Ps. I realy love your info about Thailand. But Prices can you make them in Euro or bath insted (dont think Swedish is intressting for your weiwer) but more easy to translate cost with Euro or bath.

[@brett_dev]

+Jan Andersson never been there. Would like to go.

[@brucestrong9600]

i have... lots of old, dead bricks...

[@paulstevensonworldtravelle413]

Hi there does the condo rent scooters if not did u see any prices in streets thanks paul Stevenson world traveller

[@brett_dev]

Hi Paul, if you want to rent for a month or more Chloe is your best bet - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3LSanWid9dmfqc Otherwise, a local shop will rent to you for about 200-300 baht a day.

[@ztezmaxim2683]

about the pool, do people use it at night. I was very disappointed at an apartment building in the USA because you couldn't swim at night and kids had it in the daytime. I prefer night swimming myself.

[@brett_dev]

When I was there no one really used it at all. I used it twice I think... I remember people down there at night as well, yes. I'd say you'd be fine day or night. If not, there is an Olympic sized outdoor swimming pool about 30 seconds down the road, outside of the condo.

[@ztezmaxim2683]

Are these generally kid free places?

[@brett_dev]

Thai people and foreigners live in these condos. Some have kids, some don't. You should probably remember, for the most part, Thai people and Thai children aren't the same as screaming, rude westerners and their kids.

[@janandersson6860]

You do intressting videos.. (but can you take the price in Bath or Euro (Swedish crown is ok to - joking)... ;)

[@brett_dev]

Yes, all future videos will be in Swedish crown lol

[@janandersson6860]

thanks

[@SportsIncorporated]

That's fiber and not cable. Interesting. Fiber here (Just south of Washington, D.C., U.S.A.) has the same upload and download speeds.

[@brett_dev]

Yeah, I've seen that in the US. The UK typically has a slow upload as well the same as Thailand. Only the connection is 3x the price.

[@brucestrong9600]

sometimes in the mid-day and afternoons it slows down some.. everything, i'm told, must go through bangkok and it can overload the connection a bit... but not too bad.

[@solatinfla6853]

what about pets?

[@Tom05181961]

Hello, I am 74 yo so I am not into the motorbike option. Would Uber and/or tuk-tuks be available to and from the condo? Even better on the tuk-tuks, could I find regular driver I could call to and from the condo. Even maybe better, does anybody rent tuk-tuks by the month? Thanks, Tom, San Roque de Grecia, Alajuela, Costa Rica

[@brett_dev]

+TomnCosta Rica yes, they'd be an option but I think you'd be better off living closer to the city. It'd work out cheaper.

[@brucestrong9600]

hey... i'm 75 and i ride my own motorbike (honda scooter) all over town...

[@teacherandre84]

sup Brett.. R U still in there?

[@brett_dev]

André Marion no I haven't lived here for well over a year

[@KutAnimus]

The fiber: Do they allow you to have your own router? Put theirs in a bridge mode? Do they allow you to port forward stuff? Pretty important info missing.

[@brett_dev]

You have your own router and direct line.

[@tombuckley91]

Jesus christ you can't expect the dude to start talking about the viability of port forwarding... 95% of people will not even have the faintest idea of what port forwarding is...

[@KutAnimus]

Normally I would agree, however... he's a web developer.

[@brett_dev]

Glad someone said it.

[@tombuckley91]

You must get some amazing requests from people... Personally, I'm just pissed off you didn't tell me what encryption your router natively uses, you're supposed to be a web dev! (Keep well Brett, you help a lot of people!)

[@mattmeadon9038]

Some body help a good guy out and get my life in thialand.

[@jchrg2336]

Too big too lumpy a apartment construction for suriname.. I'm different!

[@AyeshaNoelle]

you get what you pay for..

[@brett_dev]

Yeah, this condo for example! It's incredible value.

[@adrianadios5041]

That's cheap as chips.

[@stenhard61.46.1]

Is your lack of the "TH" sound part of your dialect or can you just not pronounce it? For example "Free Munfs".

[@brucestrong9600]

th sound not in thai... th is a hard "t" sound... like tout. no th sound as in this.

[@stenhard61.46.1]

I am talking about his English not his Thai pronunciation! Maybe he doesn't even realize he are not using the "TH" diagraph in English which would tend to mean that it is his English dialect because if he alone in hi area were mispronouncing it as he does surely people would have corrected him! Is my meaning clearer to you now?
