Learning to Speak Thai by scottmallon

Learn to Speak Thai with Alex - Episode 2 Personally, I think it is a must to learn the basics of whatever language is spoken where you live. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz7uBreH35Q

Would love to semi-retire in Chiang Mai by brendah9

Hi, I'm retiring early next year and am fascinated with everything I've read online about Chiang Mai. I will go there for 3 or 4 months next year and longer the year after. Eventually I would like to move there but will work in Canada a few months ...

Thanks so much for your comment. I'm really excited about going to Chiang MI now. I will actually have about $2000 dollars Canadian a month so I should do quite well. I'm not into the bar scene. Mostly into photography and exploring. Maybe a ... Read More

Haha your not kidding that Thai is difficult to learn. I've been trying to learn some off of YouTube and all I seem to remember is Sa wad de ka. I have an awesome app on my ipad called Learn Thai and it has everything for day to day ... Read More

I have researched it quite a bit. As I said I'm only staying for 6 months the first trip and realize I will have to make a visa run. You have to have 800000 in bank or prove u make 65000 per month which I will. Thanks for your email ... Read More

Thanks for all the information. I would like to live by old town too. Checking the web, Chang Klan road area looks good. I've been looking at condo called peaks garden that is close to Shangri la. Maybe I should wait till I get there before ... Read More

I have enough savings to live in Chiang Mai for 6 months at 65000 baht, per mth, so I am going to see if I'm able to live good on less or if I will need the 65000 each month. Plus I will find out if this is where I would like to retire. From ... Read More

I'm curious, have you been to Thailand? No I've never been to Thailand but I know a lot of people who have and they all loved it there. I picked Chiang Mai because the climate is supposed to be nicer and not as big as Bangkok. I will try living ... Read More

Chiang Mai is supposed to be cheaper than Bangkok. I hear so many different comments regarding how much you need to live in Thailand, it gets confusing. I think if I had 40,000 baht per month, that would be good. I see apartments from 6000 - ... Read More

I will have about $1200.00 Canadian, pretty well par with US. I don't drink much. I've been checking all the places that I can rent, amazed at the prices for that. The food prices are amazing also. I'm entertained just walking around taking in ... Read More
