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]

Tahiti, if I could afford it.

[bratpack]

Got to be Stoke for me

[InternationalTraveler]

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.

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

[bratpack]

no need drink and drive, ican go from stoke to notts on a barge lol

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.

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.

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.

Tahiti, if I could afford it.

Tahiti is a beautiful place, but I think I would not want to live there. I worked with a German bloke for many years. He was married to a girl from Bora Bora. I always envied him, because his wife Monette was one of the most beautiful women in Darwin, in my opinion. That was until I knew she was fuckig more than a dozen of our wotkmates. The only bloke not in the know was my mate Hans, originally fro Berlin. One afternoon, whenI was staying alone she turned up at my place asking for a beer and a fuck. I was tempted, but I thought it would not be right, as Hans was a good mate. I also knew Monette was bi, as she often made advances to my also bisexual GF at the time. I did not mind that as my GF's stories about her lesbian affairs turned me on.

 

Anyway, Hans and myself retired from our jobs in the oil Industry at the same time, after accepting a very generous redundancy deal with the oil companies. He sold up and went to live back in Bra Bora. We are still in contact with each other . Hans has now split with Monette and is more or less homeless. He tells me he often sleeps on the beach and yes everything in Bora Bora is expensive. I will never think about severing my ties with Australia. Australia is not perfect, but I still think it is the best country on this planet, in my humble opinion.
