AnotherOneAmerican Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Mooban living is a middle class boring approach to life in cm. Cookie cutter homes with laundry drying in the front yard. There are few rules and you can have a motor bike repaired shop open across the street. It's for people who want to surround themselves with other farangs and fancy themselves pioneers and expats No foreigners in my moobaan, I wouldn't be living there if there was. Maybe you're the reason there are no other foreigners there. No, I'm not a foreigner either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 ^^^ And let's not forget Kad Suan Kaew aka KSK which is the oldest and LoSo of the bunch but is still the favorite of us true Chiang Mai expatriots... It has the only food court in the city with tower beer kegs and live music for free in the evenings!... Try to live walking distance to here at first... I live a few steps away from KSK and am in there at least 5 times weekly. One of these days, I need to round up 3 or 4 friends, plop down in the Blue Food Court (that's what the Thais call it, too, you know) and down one of those beer towers while listening to the really bad Elvis impersonator. He's styling what Elvis would have looked like if he'd lived to age 70. It just doesn't get any better than this here in Chiang Mai for my money! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHP87 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I plan to live in a condo with a pool. More secure and usually, less noisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyfarquar Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I'd agree with you there. Our condo building has a pool on the 4th floor and we get no noise problems from the street. There's a school next door but I find the sound of children playing cheerful and uplifting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
