Based in Chiang Mai, Thailand
"Tieland to Thailand," founded by Chris in March 2013, began as a platform for sharing his experiences as an American expat living in Chiang Mai. What initially served as personal correspondence for friends and family quickly evolved into a robust online resource, dedicated to helping aspiring expats and travelers navigate the intricacies of making Thailand their home. The blog provides actionable tips, detailed guides, and up-to-date information on life in the Southeast Asian nation. Its content addresses practical topics such as visa processes, budgeting abroad, cultural immersion, and insights into teaching English, all presented with an emphasis on thorough accuracy and candor. Chris's personal journey, which began with his departure from a U.S. corporate career in 2013 for a one-way trip to Chiang Mai, informs the blog's focus on supporting individuals as they embrace life in new destinations. His contributions include detailed itineraries exploring lesser-known locations and practical advice on challenges like maintaining health while living abroad. The blog also advocates for ethical tourism, exemplified by content supporting initiatives such as "No Riding at Elephant Jungle Sanctuary." This reflects a thoughtful and grounded approach to both travel and expat living.
