Beautiful natural surroundings and immersion with nature of  Mae jo City, Lanna sky

Chiang Mai is one of the cheapest places to live in Thailand, and in the world. Many foreigners live fairly comfortably on a budget of THB 20,000 (USD 600) per month, and if you have more you can live like a king

Chiang Mai is located in the middle of a few mountain ranges, which you can see in great detail when the sky is clear. It only takes less than an hour drive to be completely out of the urban heat, and experience total nature.
However, within the boundaries of the city, there is nature everywhere, Chiang Mai is probably one of the greenest cities in Southeast Asia (if not, in the world).

Local culture respects older trees, so you often see that entire buildings are constructed in a way as to leave a big tree untouched.

Hence, Chiang Mai offers a unique balance between city life and rural life. Wherever you are, you will always be able to enjoy nature, whether it is a lush restaurant garden during lunch or simply the view on the mountain Doi Saket from your balcony. Mountain view is a common good in Chiang Mai.

Suitable for any lifestyle and activities
You can live almost any lifestyle you want in Chiang Mai: from relaxing, chilling out and doing virtually nothing, to an active lifestyle with yoga and focussed on well-being, or playing golf or any other sports. Possibilities to work and do business are more limited, as Chiang Mai is not a business city, but a lot of foreigners find their own work or ways to earn money
