Is Thailand really "finished"? You've seen the headlines, the vlogs, and the whispers: "Expats are leaving!", "Tourism is dead!" But what's the actual situation on the ground in Chiang Mai?

Join me as I hit the streets of Chiang Mai – from the quiet corners of Tha Phae Gate to the ever-evolving Nimman, and even the often-bustling Muay Thai gyms. We'll explore if businesses are truly closing, if the tourist numbers are as low as they seem, and whether the "good old days" of Thailand are truly gone.

I'm sharing my honest, unfiltered perspective as someone who lives here. Is it quiet? Yes. Are things changing? Absolutely. But is Thailand finished? Let's dive in and discuss what's really happening.
