Thailand Condo SHOCKER: Best Value I've Found?

[@WalkAboutWayne]

This is the vlog I did at the SIRI CONDO 2 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXmsd5J7jrhobJY

[@pokernick]

Thanks!

[@DiscoveringThailand]

Wow! That 1st one Very nice and amazing price, mate! Grab it.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Great deal buddy! Amazing deal.

[@user-Jenfromdownunder]

I never thought another area in Chiang Mai would be contender but wow! I'm really vibing with Lamphun. So peaceful, close to the city and not overrun with farangs, Thanks for showing us around!

[@WalkAboutWayne]

My favorite town. It's a very chilled town though, so not everyone would like it. So close to Chiang Mai though also. Thanks.

[@johngagne986]

That is a nice town mate. Good to revisit.

[@lindawilson795]

I remember the new condos from another video. I think they were at a great price beside the hospital. Probably your best place to live. ❤

[@latebloomerabroad]

That's an amazing deal, I can't believe it! There should be lots of people who'd live there; it's older but still nice.

[@Zerinth]

great video. Liked that one for 3000 wow. Also really liked your previous one siri condos. New condos with pool and gym in quiet areas for 1.6m and under nuts!!! Definitely your channel deserves lots more views chief theres no messing about and you are good at showing us this stuff. 👍

[@Seany555]

That first condo is insane value for money! Wifi included for £70 a month. Different world.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Yeah, it's crazy right.

[@peterlattanzi4660]

I have watched quite a few of your vids. I enjoy your content and traveling the countryside with you. I am a new subscriber. Thanks brother.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Thank you Peter, much appreciated. Welcome to the channel.

[@MIchael-d2i]

Mate 😂😂 The Boat looked like a prison block from the outside.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Man it was rough. One of the roughest I've seen from the outside. Inside didn't look to bad. Wish I could have seen a room.

[@MIchael-d2i]

@WalkAboutWayne burger place looked good

[@toneloc-cz2xi]

HMP Portsmouth!

[@MichaelB.63]

Indeed! I wouldn't🤣 live there if they paid me monthly!

[@randyirvine5858]

Nice to think you can get cheap long stay accommodation, and your life isn't in danger, as in the west🤣

[@WalkAboutWayne]

I was thinking of the Boat for you Randy mate 🤣. It was a crazy place, one of the roughest.

[@randyirvine5858]

​@@WalkAboutWayneI'm on My Way, Ah-ha, (Ah-ha) ah-ha (Ah-ha)

[@phill7573]

The first one is a great condo for the price. Grab it while you can, Wayne..

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Great deal Phil, one of the best I've seen for the money. Once it's on the channel, it's a room I can't have anymore.

[@michaeltakayama8415]

Another good one, mate. Best of luck on (eventually) finding a new happy home! :) Note: apartments are not condos. You might want to be a bit more clear about making this distinction, since there are some significant/important differences between apartments & condos, such as short-term vs long-term rentals, deposit requirements & electric & water utility costs. Some of these differences can seriously bite you in the a**, too. The big one is the rental term. Short-term rentals in Thailand require a license, which hotels & apartment buildings will have, while most/many condo owners do not. If you rent a condo unit on a month-to-month basis (say, via AirBnB), and the owner does not have the proper license, the condo building management may lock you out & give you the boot. The other big one is the cost of electric. Condo units usually require you to pay the bill directly to the utility company, which means you only pay the government rate (which is currently between 4-5 THB/unit). With an apartment, your bill may come from the building and may include a premium (ex. 7 THB/unit for the first apatment you looked at in this vlog). This premium can add up quickly, if you use aircon frequently. Cheers, mate!

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Cheers mate! I call it a condo or room buddy. Up to you what you wanna call it. All pretty simple stuff with the bills also mate. None of it is rocket science. Rooms like this all work pretty much the same. Up to whoever’s interested to look into stuff more. 👍 All the info was in the vlog aswell mate. Electric payed to building. All pretty easy stuff. Places like this are easy normally, but again just get more info if anyones interested. Happy Days mate.

[@onegreatone2810]

That's a bargain that would do me! ❤that first place

[@mccannger]

14:03 driving standards seem a bit scary 😜 Can only imagine what it's like in towns/cities. Great wee array of properties! Thanks for the info and inspiration.

[@davidludford2164]

Well done son,thanks for showing up what deals you can get in the province,I have never been to lamphun

[@_Alfa.Bravo_]

Wow, 3000,- for the first one very good price !!! Something comparable in Udon Thani was 4000,- if climb three floors up

[@WalkAboutWayne]

👍👍👍

[@2kkto2]

Ah, that Lampoon is a lovely place w/a small town vibe

[@2kkto2]

Lamphun - spell check got me again

[@WalkAboutWayne]

That's how it's properly pronounced , so they both right mate. I still say Lamphun though.

[@danchanner7887]

I can recommend the Paya Inn. We have stayed there a few times.

[@Mike-du1dc]

Cool Wayne Thanks! Yeah I remember the Siri Condo you showed us before was excellent! That one today for 3k a month is a steal too. You know Wayne....You should move to Lamphun! You know you love it & will likely find a real nice down to earth girl😉 Also you could become the preeminent Lamphun blogger! Chiang Mai has like 555,000 you tubers already its all been done to death. You could be the Lamphun Walk About Wayne 😉 Thanks for the video!

[@drmarkbahnisch2978]

That Boat place looks scary!! Food for thought, though about Lamphun. Close to Chiang Mai is good, and I don't like the tourist crush in high season, and if I wanted to be surrounded by drunken Farangs, I could stay here in Australia 😅 I wonder whether renting a house is an option? Also: did you find out if they have Grab there? Thanks mate! 🙏

[@drmarkbahnisch2978]

Oh! I see you already reviewed a house for rent in Lamphun. Great, will check out!

[@WalkAboutWayne]

🤣 Yeah, I dont thing the Boat is for me. Chiang Mai is crazy busy now, traffic everywhere. Yes, I did a house in Lamphun. Hopefully do more in the future. Thanks

[@drmarkbahnisch2978]

Cheers!

[@MikeHoncho884]

That “ troll burger“ looks pretty good! Man bro, you find all the good spots! Right at the foot of the bridge they definitely should have a burger called the troll burger! Lol

[@west_wind_55]

The only problem with that 1st one is that the bed look like it has a typical unsprung solid Thai mattress. I'd need to add a very thick topper to get any sleep at all. But that is standard in condos aimed at Thai ppl, so not unexpected.

[@martinpowell5769]

At that rental price, you could afford lots of stuff to put inside 😊🙏🇬🇧

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Yes, maybe a new mattress would be needed. But as Martin said, it dont matter, you could buy one and still have a great deal.

[@tonyttiger1]

That burger joint looks very interesting. According to Google Maps, it has rooms, too,

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Burger place was lovely. Nice, I didn't know they had rooms.

[@tonyttiger1]

@@WalkAboutWayne well, that's what it's saying when I went on Google Maps, although from your vlog it seems a little too small to have rooms. I should also point out that I went to have a look at the Siri Condo vlog after, and forgot that I'd watched it, so you're not alone!! 😀

[@JakeElliottukth]

The rooms were in the video, the little tent/greenhouse shaped buildings. Mr Thao swears people have stayed there. I'm not so sure.

[@JakeElliottukth]

Sorry Wayne, I never saw the old Siri Condo video. When we stayed in the hotel they told me they're building more across near Global House.

[@VisionofTomo]

A storage shed in Australia is more than this per week lol the boat is hilarious1 hahahah

[@andythomas1693]

I always liked Lamphun when I rode thourgh on mu bike in 2003. Went back to Lampang in Aug and really loved it there too. I'll prob retire there.

[@davemassingham2096]

The first one was great value though mate the ship looked like it was sinking 😂😂

[@WalkAboutWayne]

🤣🤣 I think I'll give the boat a miss.

[@jazzsounds8159]

Wayne, could you please use an app to check internet speeds? Thanks. I think I missed the "BOAT." 😂

[@ColinC33]

I have never been to Lamphun yet seen on the sign posts so need to go there. Maybe you are missing your first love the lady from Lamphun.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Great little town mate. I'd probably bump into that girl if I lived here.

[@MeaghanMisleh-t5j]

Great content, as always! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (mistake turkey blossom warfare blade until bachelor fall squeeze today flee guitar). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

[@nixferguson7323]

Wayne how do you feel about Pai have you considered a place there at all?

[@SouthernSoftie]

If you don’t take that first apartment I just might

[@WalkAboutWayne]

One of the best deals I've ever seen. Especially with TV, Fridge and wifi. I've give away a gem of a deal here.

[@derek7495]

Wayne do something for yourself. A good consideration, I lived in Srimongkol Mansions for 10 years long term is on 3rd floor and fourth floor, many people consider this place to be the best all round in Chiang Mai. best accomodation and value, bit of a country feel locationwith massive balcony's on the fourth floor looking onto the mountains, or towards town and a friendly feeling, and you don't have to isolated your self in somewhere like Lamphun where I think the pollution is worse than Chiang Mai because of the mining they do there, or is it Lampang? Ive forgotten,lol

[@edwardcorrigan4775]

As a single 67 y/o male the first one was absolutely something I would do, yes it has it's downsides but over all well worth it, in my opinion. after all what do you really need.

[@bradleys4783]

Nice job on this one mate !

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Nice one mate, not seen you for time! Hope all is well.

[@rs5801]

That first place...no balcony jumpers😂

[@WalkAboutWayne]

🤣 I don't it buddy. This is Lamphun not Pattaya 🤣.

[@rs5801]

@@WalkAboutWayne might consider it if forced to live @"The Boat"😱

[@LbvisualUK]

Do you need a year long visa to rent one of these type of places? or can you get away with 90 days visa runs etc.

[@maydowling2708]

You do not have to be there all the time as long as you keep paying the rent .I am guessing that they do not care what kind of visa you have.

[@WalkAboutWayne]

No, not for a condo usually. Like May mentioned, you can get a condo on any visa.

[@TribalFusion]

Plastic mattress in the first one, I'll pass on them, slip and sliding all night plus roasting hot in the summer months. Easy to wipe up stains though 😂

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Not the end of the world buying a new mattress though. Especially when the rooms that cheap. Yes, good for stains 🤣🤣

[@fosterbrower4116]

That's good work brother, haven't been to SE Asia since 79, think i need to come visit. Why not a car or truck, expense, trouble, PEACE!!!

[@martinpowell5769]

Wayne, what’s the name of that first condo and how do I contact them. Also are there any shops & bars around there 🙏😊🇬🇧

[@WalkAboutWayne]

All in the video mate. Locations in the description also. Small shops around, but town a few minutes drive away.

[@martinpowell5769]

Thanks Wayne, hopefully there are Bolt taxis around there as I don’t have a driving license 🙏😊

[@Kevin-zz9nc]

I didnt catch the name of the first place.....anyone know?

[@WalkAboutWayne]

In the description where the locations are mate . It’s called Euang Fa

[@Hansblinkers]

Was that one for 3000 bath for a long term contract?

[@NEILBAGELSTEIN123]

The second condo building looks like an abandoned insane asylum !!!!

[@watahyahknow]

the first one seems like a nice place to live , if i was to get disabillity pension the price for that condo would leave me about the same amount of money after rent and utillities as i would living here working a job and paying for rent and utillities in the netherlands thecost of living here is pretty high aspecially tabacco alcoholic drinks meat fruits fuel and gas and rising at about 3 percent a year (minimum wages raised around 2 per year )so each year i have a little less to spend my guess is that by the time im ready for my retirement there be nothing left after bills to do nice things with i would agree that it would be eazier to find a seriously interested partner in the smaller suburbs and towns around the bigger places , there not as money driven (the girls there arent payed to draw in customers or need someone to pay next months rent for them) , probably will be expected to help them in the work to be done though

[@Duncanup2]

That first condo is definitely for someone who's a loner to me very drab surely better to pay more with a bit of life

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Really? This is nearly the exact same as most of the 6 to 8k+ a month condos in Chiang Mai. No different than most of them buddy. You would need to deal with living in Lamphun though. This is a great deal.

[@bobwelo]

[@roberthornbrook8374]

That’s a steal but you can get that 2.500 a year contract you can buy an electric cooker rice cooker that is a bargain water is cheap electric should be 4.5 but you save with water Wayne it’s a know brainer

[@dae1973]

86 usd a month. That room is $86 a day in usa 😂. Take it now

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Yes, it's crazy what's on offer in Thailand still.

[@roberthornbrook8374]

Wayne imagine how much money your save in a couple of years the food will be cheaper mate I would go for it don’t like the second one mate I hate that smell

[@cathyc809]

just wondering why you speak to the local people with some kind of strange accent??

[@petejames4672]

Your english thai language is funny as .... why do english people do this 😂

[@WalkAboutWayne]

Most natural thing in the world buddy. You should hear some of the other nations around Chiang Mai.

[@zaingazi3548]

Does this town have a night life ? I mean sort of in the tradition of "Asian Lover" . If you know what I mean.
