Relocating to Chiang Mai

[PBR STREETGANG]

Hi all, I'm headed for CM next week and will need a temporary place to stay while looking for a rental. I don't have a lot of stuff, but enough to fill a pickup truck including a mattress, fridge, and a TV. A hotel room might work, but I'm not sure if they would put up with me and a room packed with stuff.

Suggestions, anyone?

Thanks!

PM me and I will give you the name of a place close to everything. Its a condo. You will not need a car. Give me a price range.

Pick a hotel with good security and just leave the truck there with it's cargo.

I was almost in the same boat a couple months ago (moving back to Chiang Mai from Bangkok). I was going to stay at "Life In Town". You can do a one month rental, very cheap, and they can remove the furniture (Bed, TV, fridge) if you are bringing your own. They also discount the rent even further, if you bring your own furniture.

I ended up flying up for 2 long weekends before the big move and finding a place I liked, so didn't end up staying there. However, I lived there for 11-12 months, many years ago. Quiet, convienent, and no problems at all.

What's not clear is: do you need secure parking for a pickup truck with stuff in it?

If you don't, any guesthouse should not mind you putting your stuff in the room while you are there. A hotel would be more expensive and maybe would not like all that stuff.

There are loads of guesthouses around, but Veerachai has parking available and maybe different sized rooms, and well-located:

Thanks for the ideas- the truck is for delivery and unloading only, so I'll need a place to house me and my stuff until I find something permanent.

Is this guy really needy or is it just me?

Suggestion: Look on Agoda for a temporary accomodation.

@fey-another member posted in this thread instead of starting a new one.

Thanks for the agoda tip.
