RE: Why did I decide to Settle in Chiang Mai Thailand
Hey, I found your post in one of the Facebook groups.
I was in Thailand this year for a month, I stayed in Koh Phangan most of the time and I fell in love with the island. I've heard a lot of Chiang Mai as a number one destination for digital nomads but after reading your post I'm seriously considering going there. I'm about to finish University soon and want to start working online, and all these meetups, community, Zumba, health inspiration, nature, sounds incredible!
Thanks for sharing your experience, it really helps a lot!
Upvoted and followed! :)
I've never been to Koh Phangan but thinking of going to experience the Full Moon Party. I just have high expectations when it comes to islands as we have the best ones from where I came from (Philippines).
I went to Chiang Mai 4 months ago to check the community and as you can see, I went back. It's really a big place if you want to hang out with bunch of people who works online.
You should visit and see if you like it. And if I am still here by the time you come, we should go out! Would be lovely to meet someone in the flesh.
Thanks for the support. I will keep on writing more, and if you have any question feel free to reach out.
The reason I liked Koh Phangan is because it's a small island, it's not overcrowded, it is so chilled (it's gets a little bit crazy during the Full Moon party but only in that area) and like you said, food is amazing and cheap! But I understand why you have high expectations, I've heard so much about the islands of Philippines as the most beautiful islands in the world!
I feel like Chiang Mai is the same as Koh Phangan but in a city form.
I am planning to go back to Koh Phangan for another month at least (depends on my Visa), but I would also love to visit Chiang Mai.
So if you come to the island and I'm there or if I come to CM and you're there, we should definitely meet and hang out.
People I talked to about Koh Phangan said it's overcrowded and expensive. I have to ask you about that when I plan to go.
Yeah, Philippines has the best sceneries when it comes to nature. Beaches, Falls, Mountains, and I hate to sound bias, but you will love the people ;)
Yeah, that's right. It's like Koh Phangan without the beach. Where are you now? And when will you be in Koh Phangan? I might plan something out when you are there.
I was in Koh Phangan out of season, I found so many (almost) empty beaches and places to eat/bars to chill. But of course, there's a lot of 'hot spots' like Haad Rin where the Full Moon party is or Amsterdam bar that is very popular.
I am now in my home town in Serbia, my plan is to pass all my exams and graduate from University by December 19th and then maybe hit the road! :)
What about you?
I should take note on that. Will definitely ask you when I plan to go. Full Moon Party is on my bucketlist so I will visit no matter how crowded it is,haha.
Oh cool! I am in Chiang Mai now, and I don't know my next plans, lol
