Would I Retire in Chiang Mai? My Thoughts After 6 Weeks Living Here”

After six weeks living in Chiang Mai, Thailand, I’ve had time to see what life here is really like — not as a tourist, but as someone living here. I share what has been good and challenging, and my honest thoughts on whether I’d actually retire in Chiang Mai.

From cost of living and comfort to healthcare, weather, and daily life, I talk about what makes Chiang Mai appealing for retirees — and what might make you think twice. If you’re considering retiring abroad or looking for your next destination, this video gives a realistic look at life in Thailand’s most talked-about city.
