Freee!! Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 How near is near and what amenities? From what you describe, the areas near Pattaya and Hua Hin fulfil the requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sangsom Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Very big question depends on what you are looking for. Would probs rent in the first instance to make sure firstly thaIland, then the area is for you. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that Hua Hin could tick all the boxes, that would be my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three are great locations, but a bit of a long walk to the beach ( being one of Carol's requirements )...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Chok Dee I am relocating soon one more reconicance trip end of January Hi Carol, my advice would be exactly the opposite. Trust me! Live in the busy Tourist areas such as Pattaya and visit these "wonderful" interesting places as and when the need moves you! "Great chill out places" is code for bored to f**k living out in the sticks meeting the same boring expats in the same two or three bars because there is nothing much else to do or go. FIRSTLY, come on a couple of trips to Pattaya. You will either love it or hate the place as there is no grey area. What you will find is great entertainment/restaurants/shopping centers/several beaches/water parks/Cinema complex etc etc. Virtually everybody speaks English in Pattaya and if they cannot the lazy sods should have learned. Don't underestimate the downside of living in some Town "Up Country" where English speakers are a small minority. Above all else, don't trust expats who tell you how wonderful it is living away from the tourist areas. Half of them are bored to f**k wishing that their Thai live-in relatives of their wives would go down with something which wasn't trivial. Good luck. ps Carol, are you my dentist in Corstorphine? 🤣 Edited January 5, 2023 by Jambo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqualung Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Sadly, I don't think we will hear from Carol again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
