I love the countryside so where i live Sai Yok, Kanchanaburi District ticks all the boxes, beautiful, peace and quiet, if we feel like a night out 45 minutes drive into Kanchanaburi, border with Myanmar has now opened though i have not tried it yet. Only down side is hospitals, hope i never have a serious medical problem. Can't think of anywhere else i'd rather live.

I would live in Chiang Mai, it is cooler, pretty and very relaxed.

 

Just spent 2 days up in Chiang Mai and I don't think I'd want to live there...... the traffic was nearly as bad as Bangkok. But I did enjoy driving the twisty road between Den Chai and Lampang, and the hillclimb up to Doi Suthep from Chaing Mai.

2nd place for me to live would have to be Cambodia

[jacko 8,776]

Tahiti, if I could afford it.

[bratpack 91]

Got to be Stoke for me

[InternationalTraveler 282]

Got to be Stoke for me

Stoke...don't be silly ducky..Nottingham has much better nightlife...but not as good as Pattaya.

 

Seriously Hua Hin has enough of everything to be my 2nd choice due to its proximity to Bangkok.

There are much nicer places like Phi Phi, Koh Chang, Samui and Krabi, but another flight and hours in boat and taxi would be too much.

[Dr Mick 111]

I would never want to live in Pattaya ,I dont think a nice place for children or if you are in a relationship.

 

I do like living in Khon Kaen ,but a little too hot in summer months ,I do miss the breeze coming off the sea ,so maybe thinking about hua hin when daughter is ready to change to senior school in 3 years

Tahiti, if I could afford it.

indeed or some other similar island in that vast oceanic region or whatever it's called

 

No One mentions anything south of rayong on the eastern shore, any particular reason for that?

Ban Chang, Ban Phe and Mae Phim have some lovely beaches down there but too quiet for me ...you would also have to speak decent Thai or take a friend!

Koh Samet is for families. Koh Chang is a better choice..it has more action...but again another hour on a boat.

If you have the opportunity, go for Loy Kratong.

[filmmakrdan 82]

I avoid Thailand at all costs for Loy Krathong. Last time I was around during it, I took off and went to Cambodia and Vietnam for a couple of weeks. Aggressive tourists ruin the experience of Loy Krathong and what it is all about.

Have just returned from a stay at Hua Hin - - Pattaya , take note , the soi's of Hua Hin were clean , the girls more friendly , prices lower - It would be a great place to live

It's not so long ago they said the same about Jomtien. That said, I think that you could find some good value rentals for a few of years just to see how the place develops. I'd also have a look at places a bit further south ... around Chumphon seems a good bet for the future.

You maybe thinking of Songkan but both festivals would be a lot different in a country area.

Agree with Bratpack , it has to be Stoke. Now very happy living in Isaan out in the country near Chumphae. Just like the Staffordshire Moorlands.
