LISTING for Retiree's

click on banner for listing of condo's and houses for rent and sale

You can come here and stay in a pricey hotel and you can pay for a taxi to drive you around town and spend a week of your time looking for accommodations on your own and with a real estate agent who speaks some English and cares little about what you want and need

or

you can come here to accommodations you selected and approved in advance based on your needs and budget. Our Thai accommodations lady will pick you up at the train station or airport and transfer you to your accommodations. Your fridge will be stocked with juices and bottled water and your kitchenette will have bread, jams, oatmeal and snacks included.

Day one you can start to enjoy the city in accommodations that are larger than a hotel room, cost far less than a hotel room and that offer you more such as kitchenette with fridge and microwave, wireless internet, balcony, and larger tv. If you want a snack or a chilled refreshment no need to call room service.

We work directly with owners and "GUARANTEE" the lowest accommodations prices to our clients be it short term or long term and be it budget or luxury.



We are the only service that helps our male clients find someone to share their retirement life with.


Forget about the bar scene as there is another "Better Way"


We personally know attractive Thai ladies here in Chiang Mai who would love to meet new retiree's and these ladies want a long term relationship with a man with a good heart.

Our service can arrange a dinner outing or a home cooked dinner where one can meet a lovely Thai lady who is available and sincere.




We are the only service that offers an Orientation Day which includes a Nightlife Tour.


Our "Orientation Day" has proven very popular


Another of our services that is very popular is our "Orientation Day". The day following your arrival we show you around town from the best shopping, dining, and nightlife to medical clinics, hospitals, and where to buy groceries and fruits and how to get around town. An enjoyable lunch buffet and you have an opportunity to ask any questions you have of our staff.

In the evening we have a dinner buffet by our Mightlife Tour where we show you the best places to visit and places to avoid.

One "Orientation Day" for clients who have decided to retire to Chiang Mai and another similar "Orientation Day" for clients who are here for several weeks to several months to see for themselves what it would be like to retire here.

At the end of that one day our clients know all that they need to know about living here affordably and happily.




We are the only service that offers ideas on how to earn money without really working.


Retire "sooner and have more money" coming in than you imagined


It's wonderful to have a large pension and not have to worry about living costs when one is retired but not everyone is in that enviable position.

Now that just about everyone has a computer and internet access at home "Working from Home" and earning hundreds to thousands of dollars each and every month is possible if you know how.

Beware of the get rich quick schemes for that is exactly what they are .. Schemes to separate you from your savings.

We recommend to our website visitors and clients ways in which they can earn that extra income.. in their spare time.. and Retire Sooner and Retire Comfortably.

Imagine building your own website for only $500 U.S. ..
and working a few hours a week
and earning a $1,000-3,000 a month and more ...

You can do it!!

Chiang Mai Condo Rental Banner
Hotel rooms are often 25-30 sq.m. in size and do not offer kitchenettes with microwaves and fridges or even a balcony. Our condo's include stocked fridge on arrival, balcony with nice view, wireless internet, pool and fitness on site.

You can select from:
45 sq.m. condo with kitchenette, large fridge, tv, balcony and free transfers. Pool and fitness centre are site and largest city mall is within short walking distance.

88 sq.m. 1 bedroom and 1 study, pool and fitness and sauna on site and great location only a few minutes from Night Bazaar and Loi Kroh rd.

Our short term rental rates are 25% - 55% Less than hotel rates yet you get Larger, Better, and a Great Location. No joiner fees, and transfers are included to/from the airport or train station.


The only conditions in our offer are that you book in advance, provide a deposit so that we can hold the room for you and that you stay a minimum of 7 nights. That is it.

Find out why our short term rentals have over a 90% occupancy rate and why our clients re-book accommodations with us on return visits to Chiang Mai.


If you are staying longer term we would recommend a condo at the outset and one that is in an excellent location. Once you get accustomed to the city then location is not as important and you can get better value by moving out from the touristy area.

Give us 1 month advance notice of your arrival and we will offer you accommodations that have everything you want and need .. and in your price range.

Generally the condo booked for at least 9 months will be about 75% LESS than the cost of a hotel room.




We used to recommend hotels to our clients but after years of offering hotel rooms at 25 sqm in size and condo's starting at 42 sqm in size that are all better equipped and lower priced than hotel rooms our clients told us they preferred a nice condo rather than a hotel room.

So now we offer what our clients prefer and keep in mind that all of our accommodations do not charge "joiner fees" which is a fee charged by hotels for having guests in your room.



We have accommodations that include budget apartments which are less than $150 U.S. a month for an apartment which is larger than a hotel room, with TV, A/C, furnished with balcony. Just pick up some bed linens, towels and pillows. And that price includes power, water, cable TV and internet.

At the other end of the scale we have luxury houses, villa's with and without pool.

For anyone interested in purchasing a house or renting a house long term we have excellent properties that are priced much lower than what you would expect.
