If I ever have an accident in Cambodia, I pray the locals don't touch me.

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.

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. :D

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.
