Jai yen yen, rent for 6 months or a year first, and if really feel comfortable living in Chiangmai then you consider buying for yourself, price will not change much within 6 months or 1 year period.

1 bedroom with free condo internet (speed so so) condo with pool etc full facility near mall or supermarket around 10-12k monthly, if find those inside soi or no facility apartment in CM can be cheap, about 5-8k baht monthly.....some cheaper local place even 3k+ can get, but dun too safe with those cheaper type.

can learn from youtube n learn n do at the same time..
fishes- freshwater will do..easier n cheaper..saltwater , if inland and far away from sea, have to self made the salt water n need alot of work n maintainace. Any wrong move with the water, fish all die..
prawns need alot of space..crabs can use the condo style of mud crab farming.
there is many vids on indoor prawn farming...with the capacity of 20k-30k prawns..

Overall, need to see how much land you have or can use? in your area, whats the demand...

I am thinking of export.
Yea prawn farming comes to my mind 1st. But thai prawns like those big head prawns which other country people dont prefer cause they dont know how to eat the prawn head. Just like tiger prawns not in popular in thailand even if sold cheap. As always, export market mostly target china. China actually doesnt have enough food production for its own population, currently and historically.
Another thing. If i farm prawns in an area with many prawn farm. Likely i have to go along with their prices and not undercut them to snatch business else they probably would trash or sabotage my farm. Possibly got those farming association / group. Then got this head of association must listen to what he say. Like IP MAN open health centre must meet, drink tea and spar with association boss first then get approval to operate.

Tiger prawns is not not popular, its a saltwater prawn and is not easy if not by the sea area and is not cheap..the thais have very limited general knowledge on almost everything..they like to monkey see monkey do. see other do what biz make money, they will go do also..the reason why everyone is farming rice..and the reason why rate of rice is not stable every year...too much people do it..
Why go to a place when there are many slice of cake being shared and want another slice.
Do something that actually have market demand but not much people do.
For those association is all talk about $$$

You see ah bro...short story...

one biz see a fishermen back from his fishing trip n see his not full of fish boat just enough to feed his family n himself, then after which fisherman go to have some tea n play guitar n chess with his friends under some coconut trees.
Biz advise him to to expand his daily fishing to a fishery fleet..
have more quantity of boat = more quantity of fishes.
trade with local wholesalers and will make alot of profits.
another 5 to 10 years get it listed and make tons of money.
then he can choose to keep the business and enjoy more profits or sell it and retire.
after which,he will have more time to go fishing , meet friends for tea and chess by the beach also have more time for family...

The fishermen listened and smile at me and reply...
isnt that what im doing right now?

My advise is do self sufficent farming for own comsumption. the extra ones then can sell to your neighbours...or exchange essentials things that your home short off..no need to use money...
think about it...sometime is good to back to the basic..less worries and burden...
from this pandemic lesson learn..infected or not, putaside..
economicaly, only the people who prepare themselves are not badly hurt..
food wise, if you do have the own supply, you dont have to worry too much..

if were to build a home in village in province..
advise to get drilled underground water, get solar panel to power home electricity, get own self dependent...
my thought may not be inline with many others though...
but the principle is to be self dependent in almost everything if really want to retire comfortably

Most of the trade, not only sex trade...
Only medical sectors and equipment supplier surge...

I believe the ones hit hardest are the FLs, grab drivers, taxi drivers, tuktuk drivers and motorsai riders. I've heard from one of my Thai friends that the Thai government has reached out to help (financially) its citizens. However, many are skeptical as to when the monetary help will actually reach their bank accounts.

Also, I do not, for a second, believe that their daily infected numbers are so low. It is almost impossible.

no gov in any countries will report the real figures..not only China, almost all dont..The numbers they reported, go multiply 2-4..
Most countries first priority are the country economy which also is profits..then comes the people..also becos due to the structure of the gov, policies and ideology..even the mental problem president want to open the economic on 1st May..dont find solution but only spend time for interviews and exposure and marketing for his campaign only..and also busy finding scapegoat for failure..

The affected ones are mostly the poor , but the government will use the armed forces and police to safeguard the interests of the rich and business owners.
With this Quantitative Easing by governments, it is the rich and banks who benefits as most money flow into their hands instead of the people.

Governments are more concern over GDP which is generated mostly by financial markets rather than the regular Pop n Mum shop

Tourism is a big part of GDP in thailand, so tourists numbers matters to them especially to tourists who are looking for sex

Both are toxic but the later has more water in their brain if asked me for a comparison.
In this period, taiwan is following the cue from US to do anything, basically anything...can go see the pattern..US do what, taiwan will follow with more "toxic needles"
China, then WHO then other countries who has ties with China, practically in any ways have connection with China..Singapore is one example(Ho chin)
US/Taiwan is politicsing this covis19 at "human's life cost"
Trump want to create tension to gain his supports
Taiwan want to create tension to gain support from the West/Europe and use masks as a politics tool..
Difference in idelogy and gov policies aside
China still treat Roc as blood brothers all along but ROC people only promote hatred, and the ROC will complain about guns pointing at them, but they failed to understand the purpose is not to them, is towards the US actually...
China will never fire the first shot irregardless how arrogant ROC is..if they want, long ago they would have done it..

This crisis also a platform or a chance for many to see...
Which side of governing and policies and idelogy is better to run a country when the people need help from gov..
Have to really have a open heart to think n weigh fairly...
Many just think CPC is evil and blah blah blah...and fail to understand the current CPC is totally different from the before..if they are really the CPC before, really think CHina will wake up n roar against the World..?
Its a different CPC..people just hate the "NAme".
but there are some truth n good in china that we all cannot deny..only that they do have room for improvement..

but one clearly show is, very soon, the youngster in ROC will become the youngster in HKG..and Singapore will be the next one after ROC...
You all can see the pattern clearly when they have war online ...see how they argue n discriminate each other..all very similar style..
they will also use "democracy and freedom" as tools to compare..and failed to understand, the tools they used are in fact the tools to kill off one country..

i used to hate PAP..i still do...but now i realised LKY efforts..he is really the strong iron for being a politician...he is the only one till now i see can manage US and China at the same time..
PAP do democracy but not 100% and some level the same way as the CPC..
LKY took care of Singapore with mixture of everything..socialism, nationalism, democracy and very limited communism(all agencies to run singapore are privatised but own direct n indirectly by his own family n relatives..

maybe many dont know...XI is trying very hard to change the image of the CPC and even change the name..but now is not the time and he has to get rid of the elderly in the CPC first at the right time...one of them is fox old Jiang zhe ming..and a few more..

Well...back to the fundemental, most importantly, most commoners just wish to have a stable life n economy and gov to take care of them when they cant do it themselves..
