Eh Bye Gum
Well Slim Will has lived in Chiang Mai for 9 years now. (Spot the Wopper, not Will. )
Been coming every year since 1979, when Brunei based.
Divorced from Thai wife ten years ago.
Own room in an Condo block near CM university, it's mine, Thai Government says so, so cost of living cheap.
The basics water, electricity, food must be for Thai population pay same price, just paid 2.50 quid for 2 kilo free range chicken, 3.80 for 4 kilo pork roll, in the cooker now, 2.50 quid for a kilo of Beef, possibly Buffalo at local market, now in slow cooker withe onion and potato for a stew. No shortage of reasonably priced Foreign food or the expensive kind.
Virtually impossible to become resident, Theoretical possible but very rare in practice.
Bar girls, lady boys, no problem you can meet them 365 days a year if that's what you want.
No shortage of females who have not sacrificed their amateur standing, even I have them queuing up, just a matter of living and letting folk get to know you.
Large expat community, all nations, English speaking Dominate.
I own a car, a scooter and have owned about 6 large capacity Motorcycles.
Get caught by law, motoring offence, say once a year for nothing, normally say a Fiver ( B200 ).
Barstweards did me for a Tenner last year for going throw a Red Light. No points, No Breathalyzer just go main Police Station and pay, Cnuts as I asked the Sgt, Since when as it been an offence to pass a red light ? he laughed with his mate and said You Pay B400. Gestapo.
It's very much up to you.
If you choose to play like a Fool well The Thai's have a saying about a Fool and his Money. Soon be Mine, I think.
Yes Folks do get wasted, Drunken Idiots in the main.
Drugs easily available, pedo's have their time, short and not sweet, local law does not hang about, Door off and Hello the Heavy Gang has just Cum for a stay, local informers abound, Bar folk, Tuk Tuk drivers and undercover cops.
I have a retirement visa, renew every year, about 3 Hrs and report to immigration every 90 days, 20 mins. Must show B800,000 in bank for three months before, but then can spend until next year. I can get bye on B600,000 all depends on what you drink and who you chase.
The Hot season in CM is not nice, rainy OK and Cool Lovely.
What you choose to make of it.
