In this week’s blog post, we are now taking a deep dive into our budget and how the two of us spent $1,445 USD during our 34 day stay in Chiang Mai, Thailand in the fall. We picked Chiang Mai as our first stop in our 6 month journey to South East Asia for the food, the festivals, the weather, the culture, the large digital nomad community and of course we knew it was also very affordable.
After spending a lovely summer in Europe, we embarked on a 6 months journey in South East Asia (SEA). While Mrs. NN already visited SEA before we even met, I never set foot there so there was definitely some excitement in exploring a brand new region as part of our 2nd year of nomadic travel. For our first stop, we decided to stay an entire month in Chiang Mai Thailand and we were blown away by the culture, the food and the digital nomad community. So without further ado, let’s go explore Chiang Mai and unveil in this two part article what we did, ate and saw!

Man Overseas (aka Brad) actually “retired” from work to become a full-time traveler (hence, Man Overseas). He grew up in Houston, Texas (USA) and attended Nicholls State University. We were in Chiang Mai last year when I stumbled upon Brad. My initial encounter with Brad was rather virtual and semi-random on Twitter. We quickly clicked and the next day I was invited to his great (yet super affordable) AirBnB rental in the heart of the Nimman area to record a podcast with him (FU Money, Investing & World Travel). I was really excited to have him as part of our interview series to feature someone that is living more of a FatFIRE lifestyle (versus a budget one) with a solid sense of humor, unique take on work and life philosophy and much more. And since #Covid2019 is top of mind for everyone, I wanted to know how this pandemic has been affecting his worldwide travels for him and his wife.
After staying for a month in paradise on a Caribbean island for only $2,7000 in the Spring of 2019, we were overdue for another month in paradise because why not? Since we just wrapped up a month visiting Chiang Mai, we decided to go explore one of the many islands of Thailand and after some extensive research decided to give a try to Koh Lanta. So without further ado, let’s go explore Koh Lanta and unveil in this two part article what we did, ate, saw and what we recommend people to avoid!
We mentioned this already for Mr. NN’s Men’s packing list but it’s worth reiterating. As aspiring minimalists, we made the conscientious decision to live with less as it turns out that less is more. So when it came to packing our stuff, we decided that we would travel the world with carry-on only.
Lets face it, women have different and more challenges packing than men do. We have more toiletries, makeup, products, bags and outfits than men do. And where are we supposed to put all of our shoes?
