Greetings all,
While I am staying long term in Chiang Mai, I intend to take some short time excursions in around the Northern area. I would like to know would it be safe to leave my personal items in my Condo, or is it recommended to store my personal valuables outside of my Condo while traveling abroad within Thailand?
On another front, are there any places/neighborhood I should be wary of/avoid while staying in the CM area? i am considering SR condo or PP condo in the Tha Sala/Mueang area due to the close proximity to the school I will be training at so I can walk home for exercise even though I plan to have a motorbike for commuting/touring. i am also considering a place in San Pa Pao, San Sai and some places in Chang Phueak, although these districts don't concern me as much due to the locations being close to the super highway. My main concern is losing my personal belongings due to burglary while I am away on tour within/around Thailand. I will be living on close to a shoestring buget after my initial transition, so I am looking at a budget of around 5K baht/Month for rent, hence my questions about security/neighborhoods.
