One reason why Thailand is such a popular place with nomads and expats to retire is that it’s really cheap. Basic costs of living in Chiang Mai are significantly less than those of Australia, Europe or the US. Not surprisingly, an increasing number of retirees are making Thailand, and particularly Chiang Mai, their retirement destination.
However, if your budget allows for it, living luxuriously in Chiang Mai is not out of reach for most people. Living luxuriously in Chiang Mai means you can have your own swimming pool, perhaps daily maid service, and a gymnasium and tennis court in your apartment complex. All this and more is possible for less than the cost of an average lifestyle back home.
So how much does this rather luxurious lifestyle in Chiang Mai cost?
