It's the perfect combination of low costs of living, stable Wi-Fi, friendly people andcommunity, says Johnny Jen, who left his corporate job in California to move to Chiang Mai.“这里生活费用很低,无线网稳定,居民友好而且社区和谐,一切都非常完美。”约翰尼詹如此评价,他原本在加利福利亚的公司上班,现在搬到了清迈。
There's also a ton of culture, great food, warm weather, a great coffee scene and all of the comforts of a big city while having a laid back, easygoing vibe.“而且这里文化底蕴深厚,食物美味,气候温暖,处处可见咖啡馆,既拥有大城市的一切便利舒适,又拥有闲散轻松的生活氛围。”
Depending on how well you budget, you can live on $600 to $1,500 a month, says Jen, who blogs about Chiang Mai living.詹在关于清迈生活的博文里写道,根据预算不同,清迈的每月生活开销大约在600到1500美元之间。
