Thai-American living in NYC here and finally pulled the trigger on this traditional house back home in Chiang Mai. Been saving up for years to have a place to retire to and couldn't be happier with this find, especially since I can't afford to buy in New York. The whole thing cost me just under $120k converted which is insane compared to what you'd get here in New York for that price. Planning to spend my golden years here away from the city madness once my lease expires. Can't wait to actually move in and start this new chapter
