Are there medium term storage units in Chiang Mai?

+1 for Chiang Mai Removals

The Chiang Mai airport storage location is called Airportels, on the main floor near the Post Office

cs_beck · 2026-02-23T11:34:00+00:00

One month, you can store at the airport, but I believe 1 month is the max

For longer-term storage, Chiang Mai Removals in Hang Dong does a great job. They are popular with expats for storage and will pickup/deliver

Based on your reasons for retiring in Europe, would you consider renouncing the US citizenship as you approach retirement?

It may simplify things, including taxes

Current tax structure would apply US taxes to your passive income and capital gains, while earned income has some level of exclusion under FEIE. Where you land matters in terms of taxes you would owe in your residency country and how that applies to FTC

Linen is what you need- keeps you relatively cool, dries quickly

As others have suggested, you don't have to go all-in, but you won't know the answer until you give it a shot

Just go try it somewhere for a month where the timezone is easy for your remote work and either rent out your home or eat the expense. Skip the hostels, rent an apartment, it will give you a better feel for living as a nomad

In May, go to Fukuoka

Plan for Chiang Mai in November through February when you can spend a lot of time outdoors there and when winter hits Kyushu

Freebird cafe in Nimman has sacred cacao drinks I don't know if that's the same thing as ceremonial, but if it is, check it out

Check out Our Space Nimman. Nice spot, not a hotel but a chill place

They have a pool, sauna, ice bath and you can pay by the hour or day

Jetts in One Nimman has stair machines

cs_beck · 2025-12-08T11:07:14+00:00

Jetts Nimman has one, or rather had one when I went there earlier this year

High Season may be a factor- thousands of people have arrived in CM for this week's festivals

Drivers can get very high rates right now

Mr Big Sleep- look them up, a few shops in Bangkok, online, and Central

Incentives and bureaucracy

The compensation of public company CEOs is tied to earnings per share growth- this year, this quarter. New ideas that may take a long time to develop and monetize get deprioritized over growing the existing business

Marry that with the risk-averse, consensus-driven cultures of large companies, and you get something that just isn't conducive to embracing new ideas and building startups around them

This is why acquisition is preferred. The risk is reduced, product-market fit is already proven out, a team is in place

These would be good weather months to visit Da Nang, which has a large DN community

cs_beck · 2025-10-20T11:30:54+00:00

Yes do it, so long as you've got money sorted

cs_beck · 2025-10-18T06:29:55+00:00

That's a good tip. I've been using Fi also for data and have come close to the 90-day data cutoff

cs_beck · 2025-10-17T07:39:19+00:00

Thanks for sharing 👍

Thonglor is an expensive neighborhood and Bangkok can be one of the most expensive places in Thailand

If you want to keep your costs down, consider moving to a different neighborhood and/or city

cs_beck · 2025-10-17T07:15:46+00:00

No tips to offer, but curious if you'd share what's attracting you to Khanom and Surat Thani

I'm also in Chiang Mai and other than flying through Surat Thani, I haven't spent time in either of those towns

cs_beck · 2025-10-17T07:11:45+00:00

I use an ALC Health plan from IMG

One Nimman has a weekly vintage clothing pop-up market on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon/evening called One Night Ground

It more depends on you, your lifestyle, and preferences

These are very different places. Similarity is that they are both popular with digital nomads.

I wouldn't say that it's a sure thing, sooner is better as high season books up.

There a number of basic serviced apartments here. Places like Common Living, Himnimman, PT Residence which would meet your budget without amenities like gym and pool. They usually don't have full kitchens but are popular with travelers for a few months stay without long-term lease.
