I’m in the middle of a renovation in Chiang Mai. Make sure to get multiple quotes from contractors to avoid overpaying. I also found it helpful to visit other renovation projects they’ve completed. Be prepared for delays – it’s quite common here. Good luck with your project!

Congrats on your new place! I renovated my villa in Phuket last year. I recommend finding a local contractor who speaks good English. Also, sourcing materials from local markets can save you a lot of money. Just make sure to double-check the quality. For inspiration, check out Thai home design blogs and forums.
