I hope we have a chance to get together again before you head off. Chiang Mai is indeed a fantastic place for digital nomads to hang out and get some work done. What surprised me the most is the amazing art and music scene here. There is some great local talent here with art galleries and good live music every night. The cafes, while very western, are also fantastic. I also have been getting some dental work done at 10% the cost of Canada. Hey Dave, it was great meeting you the other day.

Would love a good recommendation on a place to stay long term. $250/mo sounds perfect... I’ll be in Chiang Mai in a week and stoked about it!

I went last year with my fiancee' for 3 weeks and left our children with the grandparents. My fiancee' spent half of his childhood in Penang as his mother was from there and his father an Australian Air Force member. I LOVED the FOOD, the Shopping, The welcoming people and the different cultures. We stayed with his family over there but also took a trip to Langkawi and stayed in hotels. You get a much better feel for the place when you are shown around by locals. I would love to live over there for a year, but it's just a matter of saving the money now. I am also looking forward to experiencing Singapore and Thailand, next time we go. MMMM, just thinking about it makes me hungry for Char Kwei tow and Raddish/Carrot Cake, oh and satay sticks, roti, won ton mee....... oh the list goes on!

I heard about the drunk Australian tent at Oktoberfest, and thanked my lucky stars I was there with German friends. There are a fair few drunk Americans out and about--usually the ones in the 18-21 age bracket who can't drink at home yet and then just go crazy because they can--but Aussies definitely take the cake in the drunk-holidaymaker category. It's a shame--I'm traveling through Thailand now, and I'm not partying much--but I feel like so many beautiful places have been ruined just to become one big party. Phi Phi is one great example, and I'm not even tempted to go to a Full Moon Party now--it just doesn't seem safe. Would rather save my pennies and have a fun night out in San Francisco with friends!

High standards have been set--here's hoping Chiang Mai meets them (although it sounds JUST like my sort of place!). Awesome post.
