Creator's Key Takeaways

We are global nomads. And in 2024, we sold everything we owned to retire early and travel the world full-time.

The Astra Sky River is a newer apartment complex. There's uh the Astro Sky suites which are at sister property just down the road.

The first class cinema was not first class. No, not second class. No, maybe third class.

We had a great time here. Loved it. Yeah, really enjoyed it. Definitely recommend it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If you're staying in an Airbnb in Southeast Asia, be aware that hot water might be an issue.
βœ“Allow about 3 hours to walk around the Sunday night market in Chiang Mai.

YouTube Video Description↓

Our stay in Chiang Mai at Astra Sky River should have been a little over a month but with our quick jaunt to the UK we had to cut it down slightly. But we still had a few weeks at Astra Sky River and we take you round our AirBnB and show you why we chose to move to the Marriott towards the end of our stay in Chiang Mai We visit Central Festival Mall and go to Tops and the VIP Cinema experience and we also go to Maya Mall and Rimping and show you the Robot that follows you round like a Dalek. As we are in South East Asia you have to visit the largest night market in Thailand, the Sunday walking market in the old walled city and you get to see all of the temples lit up at night. We take you for a quick tour of the regular night market outside the Marriott before we show you the cost of Laundry in Chiang Mai.
