In today's video, I'm going to take you on a tour of my apartment here in Chiang Mai
Thailand. So I live in a trendy building called the palm springs Erica here in
Nimman and Chiang Mai the Erica building is on SOI 5 just off Nieman Road for
those that don't know Nimman is a very terse friendly area kind of focused on
Westerners so it's a little bit more expensive than other areas in Chiang Mai
but you can still find a condo in this area on air B&B from about three hundred
and fifty dollars all the way up to seven or eight hundred dollars for a
studio depending on the amenities of your building like I've mentioned before
I get my apartments through a remote year so the cost is included in my
remote your fee but if you wanted to rent this apartment on your own the
monthly rental rate is around eighteen thousand baht or about five hundred and
eighty dollars u.s. if you rent it longer-term you can get a cheaper but
eighteen thousand baht would be your cost if you just walked up to the desk
and wanted to rent a similar studio apartment before we head up to my
apartment I'll show you some of the amenities of this building so this
building has a really cool little lap pool on the second floor
it's really nice the waters a tad bit cold but once you get used to it it's
not too bad there's also a small little gym in my building which is great makes
going to work out really convenient there's a treadmill and a couple other
machines as well as a few free weights so it's perfect for me all right so
let's head up the elevator to my apartment I'm on the sixth floor in this
building this building has eight floors everywhere in this building you have a
keycard which is great so you don't have to carry a key you can just carry a card
in your wallet if you lose the key card you actually have a punch code for your
door what's also great about the key card system is that you can only go to
your floor in the floor with the pool and the gym so people that live on other
floors can't actually come up to the floor you live on you have to live on
that floor in order to access it okay so this is a pretty small studio kind of
reminds me of studios in New York it's more like a hotel room I mentioned this
in other videos I don't cook so this small kitchen is perfect for me the only
thing I really care about is having refrigerators I can store water and
other here's the bathroom it's small it kind
of remind you of a hotel bathroom there's no bathtub which is fine by me I
have this rainfall showerhead which is great just a modern clean bathroom a
modern toilet and a sink with plenty of counter space so this is perfect for me
okay so out in the living area I have a little desk
I have internet here it's about 30 to 40 up 30 to 40 down which is perfectly fine
there's an AC in this room and like IKEA furniture and then here is the bedroom
there's a little glass wall separating the bedroom from the living room so
maybe they count this as a one bedroom but it's not really a one bedroom I have
a nice comfy bed here there's actually memory foam on top of it which I've
never had before and I'm really enjoying and in this room there's also an AC so
there's two ACS in this little bitty apartment so you can make the apartments
in this building as comfortable as you like okay so I have a little bit of
storage space in here I have a closet for those of you that don't know I'm a
one bag traveler I'm a minimalist so I don't carry a lot I only have like seven
shirts and five pair of shorts and couple pair of pants so this is plenty
of space for me if you need more closet space this might not work for you but it
works for me most places in Chiangmai have a view of the building next to them
I got really lucky and I got a view of kind of a park looking area probably
somebody's house but it's just nice to be able to look out and see the greenery
like most places in Southeast Asia you have a washer but no dryer it's hot
outside so you can just dry your clothes outside it's perfect for me in my merino
wool I can't dry it in any way okay so that
