How do I find a place to live in Chiang Rai?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"To find a place to live in Chiang Rai, you can start by researching online on websites such as ThaiVisa, 9Apartment, and RentHub, which offer listings of available properties in the area. You can also join Facebook groups dedicated to Chiang Rai expats or housing, where members often share available rentals and recommendations. Another option is to visit Chiang Rai and explore the neighborhoods in person. This will give you a better understanding of the area and help you find a place that suits your needs and preferences. While exploring, look for "For Rent" signs on properties or ask locals for recommendations. You can also consult with local real estate agents who have knowledge of the area and available properties. They can help you find a suitable place based on your budget and preferences. Make sure to negotiate the rental price and terms before signing any contracts. Lastly, consider staying in a guesthouse or hotel temporarily while you search for a more permanent place to live. This will give you the flexibility to explore different neighborhoods and properties without feeling rushed to make a decision," commented one expat who made the move to Chiang Rai, Thailand.
