The Most Underrated Area of Chiang Mai Thailand
Today, I'm taking you to one of my favorite areas in Chiang Mai. It's a bit different from the rest of the city. You won't see many fancy condos or modern rooms here. That's why not many tourists or expats come to this area. But who knows? Maybe it will be the next big thing!
What makes this place special is its local feel and super cheap prices. You can find an older Thai-style room for a very low budget. Let's take a walk and see all the cool things this area has to offer.

I didn''t notice
I was in Thailand in the early 1980’s…as a young man… and I told myself… I’m coming back here to retire…that place reminds me of what was here in the 1980’s…except the prices are a little higher…well I’m an older man now… and here I am…. Been retired here for 3 years now and loving life…my tastes have changed though.. I need a nice comfortable place to live… but no problem here in Thailand…they have something for everyone….have a good day mate…. Live life to the fullest….

I'm hoping to do the same...hopefully do a 2 week stay this October and look at some condos. If you had to choose from Hua Hin, Chiang Mai, Bangkok, or Pattaya...where would you live?

Nice one mate. I was wondering what it was . Didn’t think it was a parrot. Friendliest bird I’ve ever seen.
I'll be moving there soon, near the 89 market, converting an old shophouse. Can't wait. That was great with the parrot just hanging out.

Still loving the vlogs Wayne particularly this one meeting the Leicester fan, Alans team. They are still owned by King Power and back in the Premier League this season. Were coming again in October and can't wait. Keep up the good work Wayne. Alan and Lillian in OZ

Thank you! Yes, I feel so proud how the Thais love English football with a passion. You can tell this guy really loved Leicester. It's good to see them back in the Prem. I think they will do well again next season. Thanks guys.
Nong Hoi isn't far from the airport, might be a good place to stay for a few weeks. Also don't say Aroi Jing Jing to the girls, they look at you a bit funny until you explain they look Delicious.😁😇 Having a laundry close to a Massage establishment would be handy, get 2 loads fixed at the same time.

Not to far mate but, most place aint to far from the airport in the city. 🤣 Yep Laundry and a massage, perfect mate.
I live in the western foothills of Chiang Mai (the foothill road from Wat Umong to Wat Pong Noi) and I don't remember seeing any vlogs about the area. It's the new hip place. You should feature it! It's got lots of trees and hipster cafes and artsy places. It's really quite beautiful.

I use to really like going to the Umong hill area, I have a few vlogs on the area a few years back, but I've never done a full walking vlog there. Thanks for reminding me, I might do an update vlog soon. As you mentioned, some great Cafes in that area. I've noted it down for a vlog.

Certainly a place of pace there Wayne. Few farang as you said. I actually prefer that. Plenty of great choices for a good feed there too by the looks. The fella at the end, a Leicester City fan would be happy as they just got promoted back to the Premier League. Another top video mate. Thanks. 🤩

I live in Nong Hoi, not far from the first market you went to in this video, the stall on your left as you walked in - with the green tiles - is great for Khao Gaeng in the mornings - and the stall opposite her does my favourite Sai Ua in the city
