Walking around Chiang Mais dust road and decrepit sidewalks isn't nice and there is no way I'm driving scooter death traps
AsiaBaller, this has been talked about endlessly on other threads. If you're not brave enough to drive a scooter, don't go to Chiang Mai. End of the story.

You can live in BKK for roughly the same. I spend a bit more for getting around in BKK + restaurants are a bit more expensive but that's about it.
In my experience, living in BKK was twice as expensive (for housing and food). I lived in Nimman in CM, and in Thonglor in BKK.
