Another excellent video from Perfect Homes. Miss Paeng would excel as a school teacher, her beautiful smile, encouraging attitude & perfect English❤

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thank you for the kind words! Miss Paeng truly has a talent for connecting with people, and it’s wonderful to hear you noticed her warm and engaging personality. Her ability to explain things so clearly and with such enthusiasm really does make a difference.

Ms Beang is cute especially with that voice. She also is well prepared.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thank you for your lovely comment! Miss Paeng’s voice and professionalism definitely add a special touch to our tours, and it’s great to hear that you noticed how prepared she is. She puts a lot of effort into making sure everything is clear and informative. Are there any particular types of properties or features you’d like her to highlight in future videos? 😊

One bedroom is way better even though it is cramped but I would definitely want a closed off shower unit

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

A one-bedroom unit does offer that nice balance of privacy and cozy space! Closed-off shower units are a great feature, and many of our condos do have them for added convenience. Is there anything else you'd like in your ideal condo, like a balcony or a specific view? 🚿🏡

[@paulsandford3345]

I didn't hear you guys mentioned anything about markets or shopping centres?

[@jimt6799]

I generally like walls, because they give you someplace to put a desk, TV, wardrobe, etc. But, in this case, the one bedroom design simply made the whole unit seem cramped. Thanks for the tour. And I appreciate the fact that you show the common areas and hallways. An in-building laundry service is a nice feature and something that I would definitely use (unlike a gym or a pool).

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Great points! Walls can definitely add functionality by giving you more spots for furniture and storage, but you're right-they can sometimes make a smaller unit feel a bit too closed in. It's always a balancing act between layout and livability. Glad you found the in-building laundry appealing-it’s such a practical feature, especially for day-to-day convenience. Do you think an open-plan design with clearly defined zones (rather than walls) might work better for a space like this, or do you have another idea in mind for the perfect layout?

[@erikramaekers63]

Ms Paeng is lovely.Her English is great too

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

[@le_th_]

Love the lush, green view of the mountain, but the open floor plan of the studio.

[@808bear2]

is awesome, is not good? Don't keep me in suspense.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

The lush, green mountain views are such a highlight, aren’t they? They really bring a sense of calm to the space. An open floor plan in a studio does make it feel more spacious and connected to that beautiful view. Would you prioritize a layout like this with great views, or do you think having separate rooms is worth sacrificing a bit of that openness?

[@srcooperproductions]

I love your videos! But….. I would love them even more if you walked around the neighborhood(s) to show the audience what’s around 😊

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thank you so much for the suggestion and for loving our videos! Showing the neighborhoods is a fantastic idea-we'll definitely keep that in mind for future content. Is there a specific area in Chiang Mai you'd like us to explore? 😊

[@MichaelTheDane]

Like the studio, and move the dinner table to where the bed is and bed to the windows

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thank you for the feedback! Moving the dining table to where the bed is and shifting the bed closer to the windows sounds like an interesting idea. It could definitely create a cozier dining space while taking advantage of natural light for the bedroom area. Do you think this layout would make the space feel more open, or is there another feature you'd prioritize tweaking to fit your ideal studio setup?

[@MichaelTheDane]

@@perfecthomeschiangmai my main reason to move around is that it is more natural to have the dinner table in the kitchen area, else it is like have the sofa in the shower 😜.

It sounds like you caught Chiang Mai during its rainy season! While the rain can sometimes limit outdoor activities, the city has a cozy charm during those times, especially with its cafes and food spots.

[@warrenwilliams7456]

I like Chiang Mai and might have chosen it for an apartment, but the long term visa requirements in Thailand are a no go.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Chiang Mai is definitely a fantastic place to live, but I understand how visa requirements can feel like a hurdle. There are some long-term options like the Retirement Visa or the Elite Visa, depending on your situation, but they do have their own criteria. Would you be open to shorter stays, like three months, to see how it feels before committing? 😊

[@johnsmit-jg9qm]

lovely both , great price and compliments to the lady ,her English extremy good

Thank you for the kind words! We're glad you enjoyed the video and found the pricing appealing. I’ll be sure to pass along the compliments about her English-she’ll appreciate it! Was there a specific feature of the condos that stood out to you? 😊

[@johnwalk123]

no gym and swimming pool? is the plane noise very loud?

[@Darkangel-A-c8z]

In the studio, I'd move the bed into the living space, and put it where the sofa is and put the sofa by the window and the dining table where the bed is, if you could move the bed

[@Darkangel-A-c8z]

It's a lovely space

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

That’s a smart idea! Rearranging the studio like that would definitely make the space more functional and open, especially if you want to maximize natural light by placing the sofa near the window. Moving the dining table where the bed is would also create a more defined sleeping and eating area, which can make a studio feel less compact.

[@jimcunningham61]

Mate very good price I’m guessing rent electric water wifi will run you under 500 usd

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Much more likely to be closer to be under 150 usd a month! Leaves more cash for enjoying life!

[@boink800]

@@perfecthomeschiangmai Details, details --- yes, they will charge you a lot for blasting that air con during the hot season.

[@generationscomputersystems]

I would rather have the one bedroom over the studio layout as it’s easier to have that separation and privacy when I’m changing clothes. I don’t like to idea of going to the bathroom every time I need to change. If I’m going to be cooking my meals, I would not want my bed to absorb the odours. I would also request to have the TV mounted on the wall and repurpose the TV cabinet for something else.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

You’ve made some excellent points! Having that separation in a one-bedroom layout really adds to the comfort and practicality, especially for privacy and keeping cooking smells out of your sleeping area. Mounting the TV on the wall is a smart idea too-it would free up the cabinet space for extra storage or a personal touch like books or decor. 😊 If the kitchen had a better ventilation system, would you consider a studio, or is a one-bedroom your non-negotiable choice?

[@bobpankey4425]

Maybe if i just got here from usa that sound cheap. But been here lo g enough to know thats expensive

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thank you for sharing your perspective! Pricing can definitely feel different depending on how long you've been here and what you're used to. Out of curiosity, what do you usually look for in terms of value when it comes to housing in Chiang Mai? 😊

[@mister_5165]

I would prefer the 1 bed room on the 9th floor for 3 months

[@mikeparker6322]

Nice building but if you unit faces south get used to airplane noise. Chiang Mair aiport has takeoffs some nights until 0100. I would never consider this building. The area is really convenient becasue lots of options for dining and shopping. If airplane noise does not bother you then sign the contract.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

You bring up a great point-proximity to the airport can be both a convenience and a consideration. Some people don't mind the occasional noise, while others might prefer a quieter area. It's always good to weigh the pros and cons, especially with the location being so convenient for dining and shopping. Have you found a quieter area in Chiang Mai that you like, or is convenience still the priority for you? 😊

[@mikeparker6322]

@perfecthomeschiangmai Generally the area near Central Festival seems to have virtually no commerical aircraft noise. Often aircraft departiing CNX make a quick turn east and fly over Huay Kaew road at or below 1000 feet.

A little of both. I am currently in Chiang Mai and was thinking of stopping by your Nimman office maybe this week or next to get an idea of the rental market

[@JaydenWilliams-f6v]

Eh. I'm not excited about either one of these but if I had no other choices I'd for sure go with the closed off bedroom.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thanks for your honesty! A closed-off bedroom definitely offers more privacy, which makes it a solid choice if that's a priority. It’s always about finding what works best for your lifestyle and preferences. If you had the chance to customize a space, what kind of layout or features would make it more exciting for you?

[@Tjalie-j6i]

[@Darkangel-A-c8z]

I prefer the studio, cos it felt more open and light

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

That’s a great choice! Studios often feel more open and airy, especially with a well-thought-out layout and good lighting. It’s perfect if you enjoy a minimalist, uncluttered vibe. 😊

[@joeramsey3865]

I prefer 1 bedroom and that chair is called a chaise lounge

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thanks for pointing that out! A one-bedroom definitely offers a bit more separation and privacy, which many people prefer. And you're absolutely right-chaise lounges add a touch of elegance and comfort to any room. Would you prioritize having a separate living area with a chaise lounge in a one-bedroom, or do you think maximizing storage and kitchen space is more important?

[@TheBigBaryshnikov]

It’s not a chaise lounge. It’s called an arm chair or a lounge chair. Chaise lounges are upholstered and have attached leg rests.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

@@TheBigBaryshnikov thanks for you thoughts and comments - A chaise lounge is a long, upholstered chair that's designed for reclining and putting your feet up. The term comes from the French words chaise, which means "chair", and longue, which means "long"

[@KB3TLE]

Studio is my preference in general - but this one didn't do it for me. A bit too large and a poor layout in my view. Almost $300 (!) not $260 ? Prices in Thailand are really increasing as the strength of the Baht to the USD keeps getting stronger ? Not a desirable thing for us Americans now is it ? Rentals in Jomtien going for 7500 Baht are more to my liking in a some cases. --- Truthfully - Siem Reap has better value rentals and not so much smoke. Given the "retirement visa" Cambodia has to offer over 55 -- I'm very hard pressed to prefer Thailand - anywhere ? --- I try to remain 'open minded' - however - the cost of living is becoming more and more of an issue for me - these past few months in particular. > Expats in Siem Reap report that 50 cent beer 7 years ago - is still 50 cents - many places !!! No gentrification either ? They take my USD so there is no 'exchange rate' ! - - - Thank you for helping me decide on Siem Reap to retire - and Thailand as a place to visit for some fun and my yearly medical checkups. It's only a 1 hour flight to Bangkok. ❤ 👍 🙏 👌 ✌ 🎯 🍺

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thank you for sharing your detailed thoughts and perspective! It sounds like you’ve given a lot of thought to where you’d like to retire and the financial aspects of each location. It’s true that Thailand’s cost of living has been shifting, especially with the strength of the Baht. For many expats, this dynamic does make Cambodia, particularly Siem Reap, an appealing alternative with its lower cost of living and straightforward USD transactions. However, Thailand continues to draw those who prioritize conveniences like world-class healthcare, excellent infrastructure, and a variety of lifestyle options. Chiang Mai, for instance, is a favorite among retirees for its balance of affordability and amenities, although preferences definitely vary depending on personal priorities. Do you think Siem Reap could ever become too popular, potentially increasing costs there over time, or do you feel it will stay as it is for years to come?

Totally understandable! Making a big move can feel overwhelming, especially after settling into a comfortable routine. But Thailand is such a welcoming place for retirees-affordable living, friendly locals, and a slower pace of life in places like Chiang Mai can make it a great choice. 😊 If you ever decide to take the leap, there are plenty of services and support to make the transition easier.
