Chiang Mai 🇹🇭

I never write reviews, but this time I had to. I did the 1 month Chiang Mai program. I was nervous at first to join this program because it costed money and I didn't know what kind of group I'd end up with.

The group was beyond expectations - I could not have asked for a better group. The month went by so fast. Although you never know what to expect, I believe it takes a certain kind of personality to join Remote Year. Everyone in the group was incredibly fun and welcoming. A special shoutout to Miao our city leader who proactively volunteered to help us address our questions and concerns and Vita who worked around-the-clock to organize events outside of the marketplace and making the experience especially memorable!

I highly recommend Chiang Mai :)

Chiang Mai 🇹🇭 Hanoi 🇻🇳

I knew someone who did the 12-month RY program, and it inspired me to join the 4-month journey. I chose to do Asia, and it was my first time traveling this long as a digital nomad.

This is one of the best decisions I've made, and I've made a lifetime of memories. I felt set up for success for the journey with RY providing plenty of onboarding materials and webinars, and my city leader (Sharon) setting up a 1-1 call to answer any questions I had.

The city leaders in Hanoi (Trang and Chau), Chiang Mai (Miao), and Goa (Chantal) were amazing and were really thoughtful about how they established the city and experience. The city teams did a great job giving recommendations and tips, answering our many questions, and really helping us immerse in the culture. Our community leader, Sharon, was also fantastic and had a great personality to lead our crew. She made our community very strong by setting up fun unofficials or organizing a casual dinner.

Some of the group also decided to do our own transition trips in between (outside of RY), which was great to squeeze in some other countries on the way. I also had some friends visit along the way that was able to meet the group which was fun.

I would also say that part of this experience you will need an open mind. Traveling does not always go smoothly and hiccups will happen, but it's all part of the experience.

I'd also recommend to pack as light as possible. However, you can always ship stuff back as many in my group did.

Overall, take the leap!

Osaka 🇯🇵 Chiang Mai 🇹🇭 Hanoi 🇻🇳

I went on the Asia 4 Month journey to Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, and India.

This was my first digital nomad experience, I took the leap and loved it. Now I'm hooked and plan on doing more programs.

Accommodations always felt safe, I can't guarantee your experience but I always had my own shower/bathroom which was great.

The city teams especially Miao in Thailand, Trang and Chau in Vietnam, and Chatal in India made the experience practically seamless. They were beyond helpful and often went the extra mile to not only answer questions or offer options but help set them up.

My Community Leader, Sharon, is a seasoned expert. She made sure we had a good community with lots of unofficial events and also embodied a practice of work life balance.

For some context on expectations I budgeted ~$1,500 usd after the monthly cost for each country including experiences and souvenirs. Your own travel style will impact what you spend but this budget worked very well for me, I never missed an event for budget issues and always came in very close to budget.

Chiang Mai 🇹🇭

Chiang Mai was my 7th month with Remote Year. I went into it with little knowledge or expectations, and it blew me away.

Miao was an amazing city manager who had a recommendation for literally everything and joined us on all of our excursions (and I do all of them). She really added so much to the experience with her local knowledge and willingness to jump into all of our activities.

The neighborhood was safe and welcoming, and I found many creature comforts that I had been missing nearby. The workspace was outstanding and 100 meters from our accommodations. I did not have a bad meal the entire month I was there, and the daily/weekend experiences were top notch. For the most part, I have loved either the RY city or the experiences, but not both. In Chiang Mai, it hit on both for me!

Chiang Mai 🇹🇭

My month in Chiang Mai exceeded all expectations. It’s by far one of the best cities I’ve traveled to with Remote Year and can’t wait to go back. The City Manager Miao created SO many fun activities to truly integrate into the culture and was such a fun month!! Go to Chiang Mai now!!
