Thanks for all the tips! I have been interested in making a medium term stay in Thailand (2-3 months) for a while now. These types of apartments could be a solid alternative to more traditional buildings.
Two questions for you: How far away from the main part of the city are these units, and how much privacy do you have in the newer units?
Its really close to one of the nicer parts of Chiang Mai and like a 5min i or motorbike ride from the city center and the newer units have a fair amount of privacy...the walls arent paper thin so u cant hear the units next to you...I mean unless they were screaming...its a pretty good location..
