  1. Ban Chang is like most places,it has it's positives and unfortunately it's negative side. The Beach for the most part resembles a rubbish dump, the one exemption is at the end of Palu beach, were the restauanteur works hard at keeping it clean,and this is where you will find that most Farangs and their families go.

    There are a few gyms, probably the best is at a mo Bahn just north of sukhumvit road.

    Plenty of golf courses for those who are not into exercise.

    A soi for the overweight and passed it bar girl.

    Some decent restaurants, Though not the choice as in Pattaya and elsewhere .

    Plenty of reasonably priced houses for rent.

    For shopping, Ban Chang has probably the worst Tesco in Thailand. This means that most Farangs travel to Pattaya, approx 45k or to Rayong approx 30k, to purchase their provisions. Both of these towns can also boast decent shopping malls. Unfortunately Pattaya traffic is usually grid locked.

    As others have said there are quite a few Farangs in this district, mostly off shore workers, those employed at Mataput or retirees. Not so many foreign tourist.

    You have probably made the correct decision to visit and get a feel of the place, one person may like while another will not.

    I lived in Bang Chang for two years, I left because of the pollution coming from the industrial area.

    The bar strip is full of women that were kicked out of Pattaya for being so ugly.

    The beaches are filthy.

    It is the worst Tesco in Thailand.

    What a lot of <deleted> I have lived here for 3 years and the Navy beach is clean and the water quality superb the Bar strip is busy with some of the most lovely girls in Thailand great pub called the Camel with great falang and Thai food, Ban Chang is the next place to boom unfortunately but a great place to invest you can still buy a beach front 45sq condo for under 1 million, I bought 3x 45s and merged them to make a 135sqm two bedroom two bathroom on the 4th floor with absolute sea view that cannot be built out for 2 million. In 3 years living here we have still not tried all the eateries there are so many

    Very good advice.

    No Pete, you are just another real estate owner trying to hype the place up so you can get your money back from that Sh!t hole condo block you live in.

  2. The man is a thief and should be reported. Always ask to see the senior officer at the location you make an application for. Another way around it is telling him your accountant insists on a receipt for all your important costs. I would ask to see the OIC ASAP before it dies away for lack of action.

    I agree 100% with your post.

    Far too much corruption in this country, wow even the police are talking about how corrupt the Immigration police are, now that is saying something.

  3. Well what a effin surprise! The funds went in at 14:00 BKK time (17:00 EST) at 74366 Baht. NOT 74988 as quoted at the time of transfer! So much for my pleasant surprise of an extra 600 Baht!

    Dwight "YOU SPEAK SHLT!"

    WE ARE NOT GETTING THE XRATES QUOTED AT THE TIME OF TRANSFER if the rates increase during the NEW 56 hour waiting period.

    As for the new 2 day process period, I now question if that is an ANZ initiative OR you have a cash flow problem?

    Just come clean and tell it the way it is! Stop jerking @Jessi, me and others around with CRAP!

    EDIT: Calm my anger and typ

    i did a transfer last week with bahtsmart.

    when i started the transaction the x change rate was 24.745B =$1

    when the funds transferred to my a/c in thailand it was 24.920B =$1

    i was paid 24.684B =$1

    to me that is very misleading. in other words they will only pay the lowest x change rate they can get away with.

    no more bahtsmart for me once was enough.
