About Goen — Chiangmai Properties

I moved to Chiang Mai five years ago. Not for a visa, not for the cost of living — though those things matter — but because I wanted a life that felt considered. Wide enough to breathe in. Quiet enough to think.

What I didn't expect was how complicated finding the right place would be. The listings were vague, the advice conflicted, and the market moved faster than any portal showed. I learned by doing — and I founded Chiangmai Properties three years later so that no one coming after me would have to figure it out alone.

What I offer isn't a service — it's a point of view.

I work with a small number of clients at a time, which means when you message me, you reach me. When I visit a property on your behalf, I send you a written note: what I liked, what I questioned, and what comparable properties have actually sold for — not what they were listed at.

I'm not measured by volume. I'm measured by whether you feel, six months after moving in, that you made the right call.

Four years of living here — and three years of working through every corner of the market — means I can tell you things no listing will say. Which roads flood in the wet season. Which developments are oversupplied. Which land titles need scrutiny before you fall in love with a plot.

That kind of knowledge doesn't come from a brochure. It comes from being here.

HOW I CAN HELP

‍
For foreign buyers navigating ownership.

Thailand's land laws are genuinely complex — but manageable with the right guidance. I work alongside a network of specialist property lawyers to walk you through leasehold, freehold, and company structures clearly, so you own with confidence.

‍
For buyers seeking the exceptional.

My focus is the upper end of the Chiang Mai market — private pool villas in Hang Dong, Mae Rim, and Saraphi. I know which estates rarely reach the portals and which vendors are genuinely motivated.

‍
For investors reading the market.

I track actual transaction data, not asking prices. If you want an honest view of where value sits right now — and where it's moving — that's a conversation I'm ready to have.

‍
If you're thinking seriously about Chiang Mai — not just browsing — reach out. The first conversation is always just that: a conversation.
