Life Styles of Living in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Thailand, like our own country's, has a very diverse social economic standard of living and hopefully this video, taken here in the northern region (Chiang Mai), will render some insights into both the middle and upper classes of Thai society and their styles of housing.

Victoryjyn -- Totally have to agree with you -- lived in Thailand for the past 16 years with the last 12 up here in Chiang Mai -- wouldn't leave it unless I absolutely had to.

chiangmai looks like Italy

[MyThailand]

Sorry to say, I've never had the opportunity to visit Italy, but through TV, magazines and what I have read; I'm in agreement with you and in a lot of the information I've read here in Thailand, Chiang Mai has been patterned after some of the cities in Italy. Throughout Thailand there are a number of cities that implement a cannel system, similar to Venice.

@Aviatortothesea chiang mai culture based on Laos? what crack have you been smoking. Chiang Mai is Lanna, not Lao. Both belong to Tai. And no, the french had nothing to do with chiang mai, only in Laos :)

Living a chapagne life on a beer budget! - Now that finacially and socially things have gotten so bad many people are looking to live in places like Chiang Mai and other Southeast Asian countries. I have lived in Southeast Asia for 12 years and after returning recently back to my home country I realized just how important it is to show people what options they have to be able to live a champagne life on a beer budget. I have videos about the costs of rent, food and entertainment.

Bangkok is way way better than Chiang Mai.

I currently live in America and thinking of moving to Thailand later because I just fell in love with the culture three years ago. I am currently in college so does anyone know what should I study so that I would find a job once I move to Thailand? =)

[jarden69]

I'm an American thinking of leaving America and relocating to Thailand. I've heard good things about Chiang Mai, but wondering if there are also other good places to live? I'd rather live a quiet and peaceful life in the suburbs, or even country, instead of living in the busy city. I'll also be looking for a nice, educated, loyal Thai girl to marry.

Any advice on the best places to live, and to find a nice Thai wife?

Thank You! :)

"MyThailand" Chiang Mai culture is derived from Lao, most of it's inhabitants are descendants of Laos which was colonized by the French, alot of the architect you see is similar to that in Laos which fancies many of it's structures after the French.But don't tell that to the ppl there.

[Aviatortothesea]

didn't know this was a white person's channel, unless you were born and raised in Thailand you won't ever get it, just another white man's view...........wasted my time.

I mean passa "Meung" and passa "Isaan" use the same words but different dialects. For example: don't know Chiang Mai: bo hoo Lao: bo hoo Thai: mai roo older brother Chiang Mai: ai Lao:ai Thai: pei you Chiang Mai:chao Lao:chao Thai:khun, tua Chaing Mai:bai sai Lao:bai sai Thai:bai nai

[Aviatortothesea]

The dialect in Chiang Mai is closely related to Lao language and is actually a Lao dialect, not Thai.The culture itself is more closer to Lao, the reason Thai ppl do not dismiss Chiang Mai like Isaan is because Chiang Mai culture is considered more proper than Isaan.It's annoying to see Thai ppl claim Chiang Mai but consider Isaan as Lao culture.
