Many people return from their fun-filled and action packed vacations in the beautiful Land of Smiles dreaming about how they could have their own slice of a paradise with a place in the sun. Whether you are looking for a holiday home, a business venture, a second home, or are looking to make a permanent move, either from a different country or within Thailand, renting in Chiang Mai could be the way to go.
Chiang Mai has seen a large building boom over recent years, which has led to a great selection of properties available to rent. You may be thinking about somewhere modern and stylish with all the latest technology and mod-cons, or perhaps you would prefer to live in a beautiful traditional style home. There are houses, bungalows, apartments, and condominiums available for rent and you will find places that are available for both long and short term leases. You will also find a variety of different sized properties, so whether you are looking for a getaway just for you, a romantic spot for you and your loved one, or a home where the whole family can be comfortable, Chiang Mai has the lot.
Homes are available right across the province, both in the heart of the city and out in the countryside. You could be living right in the middle of the action or in your own rural idyll, depending on your preferences.
Chiang Mai is a popular city for people to live for a large number of different reasons. A major factor is the actual cost of living in the city. Prices are a lot lower in the northern provinces than in central and southern areas, so you really can get a lot more for your money. The same price for a tiny well-worn apartment in Bangkok could get you a larger and classier place in Chiang Mai. Another reason is the atmosphere. Despite being a major Thai city, Chiang Mai has a really relaxed and laid back air. It is easy to feel calm and peaceful in the city, and the local community is always ready to welcome new faces. There is a large expat community as well as several groups designed to help people make new friends and integrate into their new society with ease.
There are lots of things to do in Chiang Mai, so you will certainly have no reason to ever feel bored. Enjoy endless days enjoying the great outdoors and exploring the mountains and waterfalls, try activities such as hiking, biking, climbing, and rafting, and pay a visit to ethnic hill tribes to see a different side of Thai life. With over 500 gleaming temples you can also be sure of a culture fill. There are loads of other activities too, including language learning, cookery courses, keep fit sessions, Muay Thai training … and more!
When thinking about renting in Chiang Mai it is important to think about the facilities and services that you will have access to. Luckily, Chiang Mai has all the modern amenities and facilities to ensure a comfortable lifestyle. A lot of Thai people in Chiang Mai can speak good English and are used to dealing with foreigners in their daily affairs. There are international supermarkets if you are craving a little taste of home, international schools for the kids, and everything else that you could possible want or need. !
