Chiang Rai away in the second half of the season, so I may stop off for a gander for a couple of nights for an updated look enroute.

Chiang Rai is a nice place but a bit on the sleepy side for me. The white temple, the black house(s) museum and the Oub Kham museum there are all really very much worth seeing but the street of bars near the clock tower leaves a lot to be desired and I found even the Thai restaurants there to be worse than those in Chiang Mai which is unusual given that you can find great Thai grub in almost every Thai city. Whatever you do, don't get talked into going to the Chinese tea village "close by". It's not close by and it's really not all that special either - there are better mountains to climb in Thailand.CowshedCowboyRedux wrote:Chiang Rai away in the second half of the season, so I may stop off for a gander for a couple of nights for an updated look enroute.

The "digital nomads" are still going fairly strong in the general Phuket/islands area, Bali, and probably also Kampot. I know for a fact there were dozens if not hundreds of them pushing up the prices of longer term rentals when I was last in the first two locations and anything vegan was making a killing. Cambodian internet tends to be too poor outside the major tourist centers and most don't want to put up with the mess of PP, so I assume the few in Cambodia congregate around SR.TheGrinchSR wrote:From what I've seen the Digital Nomad thing has peaked and is going into gentle decline too. The visa situation combined with the fact that everyone's already "been here and done it" on that scene is making Chiang Mai more a haven for broke expat retirees than anyone else. Me, I don't care. I'm renting a nicer place than in Cambodia for less money and my electricity bill has gone from $200-$400 a month to $50-$100 which is how it should be. This gives me more money to buy nice things instead of handing it to a landlord for them to buy nice things. Camera lenses are expensive and sadly, don't pay for themselves.CowshedCowboyRedux wrote:Of course not, Siem Reap is geared up for them. However Chiang Mai being a University town unfortunately now ranks as the cheapest place for the crusties with a laptop to set up shop. Great shame. "Digital nomads" outpricing backpackers.TheGrinchSR wrote:Nice try. I've never owned a backpack. What peasant travels with luggage that a servant can't easily move for them? I hear a lot about backpackers in Chiang Mai but they don't seem to turn up in the volumes that Cambodia attracts - they appear to head straight to Pai nowadays without stopping. This may be because the price of a banana pancake has gone up dramatically in recent years.CowshedCowboyRedux wrote:Chiang Mai lol.
