We Toured 3 Airbnb Apartments in Chiang Mai Before Booking One

Finding an apartment in a new city is one of the biggest challenges of long-term travel. Instead of booking the first Airbnb that looked good online, we spent the day touring apartments around Chiang Mai to see what they were really like before committing to a 20-day stay. In this vlog you’ll see: 🏡 Three different Airbnb options ✈️ Why location matters more than photos 📶 How we test Wi-Fi before booking 💰 The tradeoffs between saving money and enjoying your space ✨ The apartment we ultimately chose (and a full tour!) One thing we’ve learned after living in multiple countries is that photos don’t always tell the whole story. Seeing apartments in person has saved us from making expensive mistakes, and this time was no different. If you’re planning a trip to Thailand, moving abroad, or thinking about becoming a digital nomad, I hope these apartment tours help make your search a little easier.
