Chiang Mai is AMAZING. It’s our fav city in Thailand and we used to live in Chiang Mai, so in this vlog it’s a walk down Nimmanhaemin memory lane, food, hotels, things to do and the night market… Liked our accom? Take a look at pricing here: https://geni.us/fLOg72y — ⬇ See below for Thailand recommendations⬇
It’s been far too many years between our last Thailand trip and revisiting Chiang Mai, but man it feels so good to be exploring the Nimmanhaemin area and some of old town at the night markets again – it’s good to be home(ish).
In 2016 we got the crazy idea to sell everything we own and book a one way ticket to Thailand, staying in Chiang Mai as digital nomads working on a few different businesses, with no idea what would happen or where it would take us. It turned out to be the best decision we ever made, if you’re contemplating something similar you’ll absolutely LOVE our book: https://danegerandstacey.com/book
There’s so many epic things to do in Chiang Mai, but we really wanted to revisit some of our old favs, explore the night markets again and go back to our favourite cafe and food spot! We also found an amazing new hotel to check out as well, with so much going on this is likely our longest Thailand video in this not so little travel series.
Special thanks to Sabai Sabai Chiang Mai for hosting us to help share with you an epic walk down memory lane in our old hood! Check them out here: https://www.mosaic-collection.com/sabai-sabai-chiangmai

Dan's smile when Stacey said "the standard afternoon nap" tells me the nap is a little more than a standard nap hahaha
Moved to cm 2015. Last time there in 2020. Miss it and I can see it’s changed a lot.
Dam, I want some of that chicken and sauce!! Looked delicious!
Thank you guys for the high quality content. you deserve more viewers !! may i ask you what you both do for a living ?
Thank you for the tour.💖. Looks like CM is a very interesting city. And the food… guys, woow. 🤤We looove your vlogs. You both are such a beautiful energy💕💕💕
Welcome to chiang mai ❤my home town😊
This is 1st comment…. You guys are really good, very relaxed. Chaing Mai is my favourite wanna go to city… your video just makes it so much more appealing… My partner and I are ex kiwis living in Perth for many years… you guys have an idyllic lifestyle…. good on you
for chicken plate you have chicken sp and near khao soy arak on phra singh location
Hello, you had so much saw from Thailand. What do you think from Pattaya. We think we will go to retire to Jomtien Beach in a condo, if I finish work. Best wishes Siri and Uwe
So awesome are you two avid puff puff pass life snoop dogg
7:13 wow it was so cheap. What a great idea. So many people work from home now too so you don't even have to be a digital nomad! Bet it's gone up a bit since then though.
I've wanted to go to Chiang Mai but heard there was a huge problem with stray dogs, is that true or you don't really notice it? From stories I've heard, it might upset me. I don't know
whats the name of the chicken place
I miss Chiang Mai 😢
I think I am going to have some rotisserie chicken and sticky rice for lunch today. You guys have given me the craving! And this is not the first time you have done this to me! Yum! 😋
I lived in the same area for 2 months last year….favorite coffee shop of mine also, had a soy latte most mornings befor getting some food from the street vendor next door or going to the same BBQ chicken place for the very best chicken ive eaten. One day after too much beer the night befor I walked down to get a chicken to take back to the condo and suffer in silence but I was devastated to find it closed …. for no reason, just closed. Worst day ever didnt know what to do. There was alos a coconut ice cream shop in the same area…fabulous. And a burger place …sooo cheap and really good chips. And a bar owned by two ladyboys up near ninman rd who had a special of buy 1 get 1 free jugs of beer. I couldnt drink 4 jugs only 3 so they let me carryover the free one until the next day. Wonderful city wonderful friendly people and I cannot wait until I return in a few months. Oh and the hotel you showed in the beginning, the green hotel next to it is even nicer and more colonial. Thanks for the memories.
Did you have to show proof of vaccine when entering Thailand? So many wearing masks 😳
Guys how’s the pollution there now? Right time to visit ?
Love this guys!
Chiang Mai has been in the media a lot as having the worst pollution in the world right now. I am wondering why you make no mention of that?
Used to have clean air back when
Awesome guys! Love Chiang Mai, we were there for Songkran 2 weekends ago!
Why did you leave Chiang Mai 5 years ago?
What's changed is the pollution! I still love Chiang Mai, but it is so sad on the bad days.
This is my 2nd view… you guys are great, thank you
That grilled chicken is amazing! 🤤🤤🤤
Great video. So funny you did or have been doing like exactly the same things as I did during my time. Lived in palm springs, loved chicken josh, cloud 9 massage, roastniyom for coffee only thing i missed was ticky cafe!
Nice video!
Tough at the top!
Dont think you ever mentioned the price of your hotel???
面白い 旅行
Great video. What vlogging camera are you using please
Ate at that roasted Chicken place today for lunch…what a funny coincidence 😀
Having lived in both CM & Bangkok, i really do miss the quietness of Chiang Mai, its such a slower pace, cute coffee shops, more relaxed etc
I spent some time in Chiang Mai in June – first time in 25 years. Reminded me I shouldn’t go back to places I’ve loved. I was so disappointed to see beautiful old Tarpae Rd is now pretty derelict – the old antique shops, the silver and porcelain shops and the old textile shops have gone, and a lot of the old teak houses are fighting for survival against glass chrome and cement rivals. The old city too has lost alot of its charm with the loss of many teak houses and their gardens. Most of the old family run guest houses have gone apparently as a result of deliberate policy to eliminate competition for the hotel chains. A reminder that time changes all things.
Does the amazing lunch chicken lunch place have a name or location? Would love to check it out when are there! Please share some info more in depth about the chicken spot! Great vided and full of fun things! Thanks for all the love
1:40 JESUS!! At 45US and in a high season you got this beautiful huge room!!!!!
I just saw Philippines Elnido video. At 60US you get just a standard hotel room!!
9:20 YOU ARE KILLING ME HERE!!!!! Drooling over that big chicken and sticky rice!
Amazing city, just love it! I personally had a totally different image of this city once I started speaking Thai. It allowed me to connect to the wonderful Thai people and their amazing culture. 🙏
Hi. Thanks. Did you talked about cost of living? Condo rent? I hope you do next time. Thanks for a nice lovely video.
0:24 Hi, I visited back in November 2019 for just 4/5 Days 😅 it was amazing.
Greetings from the Sultanate of Oman i am your new Subscriber to be honest always when i visit Thailand i must stay in Chiangmai also i have been there several times but i am sad this coming July my wife decided to Phuket its Okay cos i have never been to Phuket but i will be missing Chiangmai alot this time guys 😪

If you are looking for a place in Thailand with clean air, nice climate, quite and cosy, good food, nice people…go NOT to Chiang Mai
Quit crying and living in the past !!!
Welcome to Chiang Mai😊😊😊😊
