What do I need to know before moving to Chiang Mai?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Chiang Mai, they said...

"Before moving to Chiang Mai, expats should be aware that the city is known for its hot and humid climate. It is important to be prepared for the weather and to bring appropriate clothing. Expats should also be aware that the city is home to a large expat community, so it is easy to find support and resources. Additionally, expats should be aware that the cost of living in Chiang Mai is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to save money. Finally, expats should be aware that the city is home to a variety of cultural attractions, making it a great place to explore and experience the local culture," commented one expat who made the move to Chiang Mai, Thailand.

"Chiang Mai is a beautiful place but we have seen many people get caught up in the dream without really thinking things through. Come here for awhile, get to know the people and not just the people hanging out in the bars and get to know the culture. It is easy to find a house here but it may never be a home," remarked another expat in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
