For Sale & Rent

CHIANG MAI REAL ESTATE
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.

We have website visitors and clients who want to teach while they are here and be able to earn money to to supplement their pensions and we recommend the TEFL courses as offered by the Language Institute of Chiang Mai University.

Hotels do not offer kitchenettes with microwaves and large fridges stocked with bottled water and juices, DVD players, balcony's, wireless internet in their standard rooms or even in their deluxe rooms. WE Do!!!

Our rentals start at 1,000 baht for a 42 sq.m. condo with kitchenette, large fridge, tv, dvd player, balcony and free transfers. Pool and fitness centre are within walking distance and the location is close to Night Bazaar.

If you want pool and fitness in the condo complex you can select our executive condo that is 45 sq. m. for only 1,700 baht/night minimum 7 day.

And if it is a large 1 bedroom with 42 inch HD TV with surround sound, dining table, and kitchen at 92 sq. m. then our rental rate is 2,400 baht/night.

If you want luxury that you want then go with our 2 bedroom 2 bath Twin Peaks condo at 90 sq. m. and 3 TV's (2 HD) and 3 a/c with Japanese restaurant on site, fitness, sauna and great location within walking distance of Night Bazaar and Loi Kroh rd.


Our short term rental rates are 34%-69% 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 at least 1 month 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? we are the Leader in Short Term Rentals and Why? our clients re-book with us on their return visits.



Condo Accommodations - Short Term

If you are staying longer term we would recommend a Condo. The price is less than a comparably equipped hotel and your condo will be larger than a standard hotel room, and likely include kitchenette so you can cook up a meal or a snack whenever you like, private balcony, fitness centre and more...

Give us 1 month advance notice of when you will arrive and we will provide you with a quote with photo's if they are available.
Generally the condo booked for at least 3 months will be about 70-75% LESS than the cost of a hotel room. Take that into consideration as well as the fact that you may have kitchenette, mini fridge, health club, fitness, pool, hi speed internet in room and possibly dvd... and then you know why many of our clients prefer a condo to a hotel room.


Condo Accommodations - Long Term

Not Recommended for either short or long stays.

IF someone is coming here on a budget then a guest house or a budget apartment are your choices. We prefer the budget apartments.

For our clients who are here to vacation and decide if they will retire here or else they are here to retire a comfortable condo is the recommended choice.
WHY you ask?


Service Apartments are Noisier than Exec. Condo's
Service Apartments are Priced higher than our Exec. Condo's
and offer Fewer amenities and facilities compared to our Exec. Condo's

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 furnished private homes with driver and maid or a
Grand Suite condo with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 3 balconies, kitchen, dining room table and full size living room for $2,600 U.S. monthly. That works out at $85 U.S. daily and sleeps at least 5 adults.

For anyone interested in purchasing a house or renting a house long term we have several excellent offerings.
