Welcome to The
Chiang Mai Guide!

Hi, I’m Jef and I’ve been a digital nomad for 10+ years. Just before COVID hit, I found myself stuck in Chiang Mai — and it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me. Over the years, I’ve discovered the hidden gems and best spots that make Chiang Mai an ideal place for remote workers, freelancers, and expats. Whether you’re looking for affordable living, a welcoming community, or a healthy work-life balance, I’m here to guide you.
🍻 Cheers (with Leo beers),
JEF VAN DE GRAAF™
