Touching down in the city where it all began: Chiang Rai, Thailand. 🇹🇭

After a freezing, misty morning ride from Fang, I’m back in my old stomping ground to see how much has changed. In this video, I’m checking into The Unique Resident, a fantastic budget-friendly find (only 450–500 Baht!) that’s perfect for digital nomads needing a solid workspace.

Join me as I revisit the iconic Golden Clock Tower and grab a plate of my favorite chicken and rice at Kong Gai. We’re exploring the transformation of the city, from the bustling local markets to the "faranged" nightlife hub of Jet Yod Road. Whether you’re looking for motorbike rental tips, cheap accommodation, or the best local eats, this is the reality of traveling through Northern Thailand today.
