People just keep coming back.

I first came to Chiang Mai many years ago and have lost count of the return trips when the total got to well over 25. That’s 25 ThailandNew Zealand return.

It’s not just the low cost of living. You can rent a Mansion 3 or 4 miles out of the City centre for the price of a room back home. One of my friends is renting a large 2 story 5 bedroom House on a large property for only 1500B a month. ( us$465). By large I mean HUGE 2 or 3 acres. Its all fenced off with servant quarters etc.

There are whole suburbs catering for the Farang (European).

It’s not just the Amazing time you have and the friendly Thai People.

Land of Smiles is not just a catch phrase it’s a way of life that’s addictive.

Thailand was never colonized by the British or the French like all its close neighbours. So you do not see the undercurrent of hate that you get in the old Colonies.

Thailand means Free Land and is Free, you can travel were and when you like on your entry Visa, with out a permit or any one asking were you are going or what you are doing. It is not the same in Laos, Burma, China or Viet Nam.

Its not just the incredible night life.

It’s not the 100’s of thousands of Thai Girls looking for a Husband and a better life.
(Thailand has a 65% / 35% split 65% Girls 35% Men. So there are many young ladies looking.

It’s not all the exciting places steeped in History and Intrigue.

It is a combination of all these things and much much more.

Chech it all out at our Chiang Mai INFO site.
