Vincent ***********

I have family in Chiang Mai. My wife and I spend 3 months yearly there.

I honestly don’t think your $2800 monthly will suffice in Chiang Mai proper without an emergency backup fund.

Spend time there and other places can in Thailand and shop around for rent, insurance prices etc. and see if you can economize enough to survive.

Good luck in all

What are the current challenges and frustrations with Thai immigration rules for expats?

Vincent ***********

As an American I watched the pain andvexpensexsndvhumiliationnof my wife in process of obtaining a green card.

She was initially denied a tourist visa on 2 occasions.

Thailand is not that difficult Ana always granted me access when we visit.

America is far more difficult to navigate imo

What are the best options for bringing my iMac to Thailand without incurring heavy taxes?

Vincent ***********

Bring it with you personally and try to land in Chiang Mai.

Many more international flights are going directly there from abroad nonstop.

Foreigners don’t seem to attract attention from customs in my experience. I fly there twice yearly.

If it is CB important to you, it might be worthwhile to detour that way before going to your destination
