Hi,
I'm going to try to give you a different answer to help you.
First I would like to say that Chanthaburi is my favorite city in Thailand followed by Sisaket.
The size is perfect (compare with a city like Trad which is to small to me). You have 3 different centers : The old city with the gem market (and an excellent Anuban School with a very good English Program), the "new" center around the big C, then, on the other side of the river who cross the city (with nice coffee shop and restaurants), you have Chanthanami with the Robinson and their "JJ Market" (they call it like this). I prefer this part of the city.
Around Chanthanami you have a village of houses to rent like you are looking for with a great view on the mountains. Depends on the size but the prices are around 9 to 15 000 THB / month. This village is on the road 3348 and it's name Ko Khwang. Here is a link to this place on google map : https://www.google.fr/maps/place/Ko+Khwang,+Mueang+Chanthaburi+District,+Chanthaburi+22000,+Tha%C3%AFlande/@12.5628649,102.1043323,13z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x3104804568cb6d1f:0x403d84ae1b4cb70
People are really nice and quiet in Chanthaburi. You won't ear "fareng, fareng" every 2 singles minutes for 2 reasons :
Because of the gem market they see farengs for quite a long time.
This part of Thailand was owned by the French at the time of Indochina. The French sold this part to the Thais.
You will enjoy a lot of things around here like the seafood, the best variety of Thai mangos... You can go the to the sea, it's only 25 km far (Leamsing), it's also close to Koh chang, Koh Samet.
To go to Bangkok you have buses (4 hours) to Ekkamai or mini vans (3 hours) to Victory Monument. But you can also go directly to Rayong, Pattaya, Chonburi, Ubon Ratchatani and Korat.
But...
There is something you must know about this area : During the raining season, it's really raining a lot. And not like many other places with a daily big storm and that's it. It usually rains all day long and during weeks.
Here is a nice link about the city : http://www.ajarn.com/blogs/ajarn-world/a-long-weekend-in-chantaburi
If you want you can send me a private message, I have a lot of pictures of the city on my facebook.
Hope my message will be helpful.

You can turn up unannounced here can't you?
Try being a Thai citizen and turn up unannounced to your home country and then come back and tell us about how hard thailand is making it for you...
Thai citizen can buy and own land in our home country.
Don't even need to go there.
Try the same here if mum or dad wasn't Thai.
Yep and in these countries, if you have an accident, you are not sure to pay just because you are a foreigner...and so many other examples & "laws" to welcome us...

"He told me 6 month is enough to read and write"
Funny when you've heard so many Thais telling you so proudly that it takes minimum 6 years to learn how to read & write Thai properly...

Two double entry tourist visas, 4000 baht, 4 extensions 7600 baht for a total of 11,600 for 360 days versus the cost of enrollment in a school, plus ED visa and cost of extensions.
Hi Wayned,
Sorry but it's not correct : What about the travel & hotel expenses to apply to your visa and the visa runs ? If you go to Cambodia or Laos...is the visa free to enter these countries ? More or less the cost is the same...
Also with an ED Visa, you can open a bank account (more easily), get a driving licence and I heard you can also do some part time jobs (not sure about that).
Have a nice day
Dog Attacks
in Bangkok
Posted
People here are so strong...
There was a story 2 years ago about a Thai guy who has been attacked by 10 of these dogs in Chiang Mai...they had to cut his arm to save him after that.
I also have the same problem in Lopburi.
Sure when these dogs are just 1 or 2 it's not really a problem, but believe me, when they start to be 5 or more, it's not the same story at all as they feel much more confident.
After this problem, I bought a tazer torch but never have to use it.
Legal or not I really don't care. I'm not attacking them, just want to be able to protect myself that's it.
