We loved Chiang Mai as nomads but weren’t sure it’d work as a family of four. Lily covered everything: housing, transportation, kid-friendly cafes, weekly family meetups. We came in hopeful and left even more excited. If you’re considering the move, have a chat with Lily.

Book your hour
Turn your questions into a plan
A move has a lot of connected decisions: dates, neighbourhoods, housing, schools, costs, and what needs to happen first.
We’re a family who have made those decisions ourselves, with local knowledge and an outside perspective on what a move requires.
For $149, book a focused one-hour video call — we’ll work through your questions and send a written next-step plan after the conversation.
Your next steps, written down
Bring the context that matters. Leave with the decisions, actions, and resources discussed in one place.

Hi, I'm Lily
Meet your consultant
I’m Lily — one half of a Chiang Mai-based family. We help people planning a move make sense of the local details, from day-to-day life to the practical sequence of relocating.
It’s lived experience with a local point of view. I also co-authored the Digital Nomad Visa Whitepaper with Leanna Lee. Our family has done the visa runs, school visits, rental searches, and “is this normal?” moments ourselves — so you get practical context and a clear view of what to check next.
I’ll give you an honest view of the questions that matter to your move, the trade-offs we’ve seen, and the sources you need to check next.

What our clients say
Families Just Like Yours
I was planning a three-month family stay and needed real guidance: short-term housing, local rental practices, childcare, the small stuff like SIM cards and budgeting. Lily’s advice was practical and tailored, right down to which neighborhoods suit families and when to book around the Lantern Festival. I went from stressed to genuinely excited.
We came to Lily to talk about moving to Chiang Mai and got way more than expected. Every question about neighborhoods, culture, and costs was answered clearly. It gave us a lot more confidence in our decision. Know the reality of a place from people with both a local and expat view. 10/10.

Who This Is For
Let's be real, you don't need us to plan your move. But if you're nodding along to any of these…
You'd rather spend $149 than forty hours
Trawling Reddit threads, Facebook groups, and visa forums of varying accuracy and vintage.
You're close to committing to dates
And want to pressure-test your plan before you do.
Your situation is specific
Irregular income, a child with learning differences, a complicated visa scenario. Generic content doesn't answer these.
You want to make one good decision about where to live
Instead of picking the wrong neighborhood and moving three months later.
You've read everything and you're still not sure
Sometimes you just want me to look at your specific circumstances and tell you what I actually think.
Frequently asked
Questions
Before the call, send your questions, dates, priorities, and anything that will help us focus. Afterward, you’ll receive a written recap of the decisions discussed, your next actions, selected resources, and the questions that still need an answer.
The consultation is one focused 60-minute call. It works best when you have real decisions or questions to work through; the written recap helps you carry the conversation into the next steps.
No — the page is family-focused because that's the primary audience, but solo remote workers, couples, entrepreneurs, retirees, and people moving with pets book calls too. If you're moving to Chiang Mai and want to think it through with someone who actually lives here, the call works regardless of your setup.
Yes — it comes up more than you'd think, and it's very much in scope. Relocating and starting something here often go hand in hand, and I have the background to speak to both sides of that conversation.
Most clients book six months to a year out, but we've done calls a month before someone's move and nearly two years before. The right time is whenever you have real questions — which is usually earlier than people think, since visa timelines, school enrollment windows, and rental market seasonality all have lead times that catch people off guard.
If you feel like our conversation wasn't worth spending $149 then no worries, just reach out through our contact form — it's a single button to refund you in Stripe. We haven't had to do it yet, but we stand behind the guarantee completely.
