HEAR OF A NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN SAWANG DAN DIN ON ROUTE 22.....WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION FROM ANYONE IN THE AREA...ie phone no...website ...location etc......thanks

Turning right at bangkok bank thats Chuanthanpanya resort i mentioned above......yes good food,good service and a beautiful laid out resort. Both resorts Vietnamese owned. Bar near police station called JOM NANG ...not falang, owned by a thai girl.

Where in Sawang is german guys bar...

Yeah, I have friends who live near Wanon Niwat and I go to the airport in Sawang Dandin sometimes.

wanon niwat......into Phang khon and turn left.....half hours drive?

Thanks.....i think your on the road to song dao.......nice class resort opened in the same direction i think.....opened about year a ago....CHUANTHANPANYA RESORT TEL 042 737744......600bht a nite...free intenet....didnt stay there but ate in restaurant...very good. Another class resort in Sawang Dan DIN also open about 12 months....main road east out of Sawang and take a left at Point Stage nite club (also new) ....CHOMDAO RESORT TEL 042 722544-5......stayed at this resort....600bht a nite...would highly recommend .....normally go for a beer in a bar next to the police station (dont miss the homosexual singing policeman) in Sawang or head east to PHANG KHON.....lively kip of a bar there.

Sorry, but I can't help but to think you are making a major project out of a simple issue. Most Thai guys I know would be quite happy to make 200 or 300 baht for driving the bike for you. Those guys do back breaking rice planting for 170 baht per day and making more than that for just a few hours would be an attractive proposition.

exactly

Sorry for the confused post, but my wife is from the area ( wang )which is approx 12km east from Sawang dan din on R22.......visiting the area on and off over the last 6 years ....wondering any falangs lving in the area...seem like a rarity around there.

No airport in SAWANG.....nearest airports Udon or Sakhon Nakhon both appox time 1.30 each way.

AFTER READING ALL THAT....ITS LIKE PATTAYA TRIP ADVISOR......STAY AWAY

Anyone familiar with the town of Sawang-dan-din on route 22.....or Phang Khon

Kevin,my suggestion is to spend some time in the area before you purchase, especialy at night because i do not think that area is very safe for walking.There has been some work done on the main road there and still is not finished so you will see a cloud of dust all the time.

Generally,only in my humble opinion, i personally would not live in that area.

thanks

Thanks for replies.....our intention was to live in condo for a portion of year, i suppose prices in the property market around Pattaya are on the up due to a number of factors especially the location of the airport............katerina "not IDEAL to live".......WHY? ....CAN YOU BE MORE SPECIFIC

Thanks for replies.....yes i agree NOT very spacious,although balcony space is listed as 6.50 sqm--living+dining 20.50 sqm---bed(1) 15.50 sqm----bed(2) 6.50 sqm-----bathroom 7.50 sqm---kitchen 8.50 sqm............bed(2) can be increased in size by removing bathtub from bathroom and moving partition wall. List price for a 2 bedroom corner unit 5th floor as april 08---3,600,000 bht.

How does price and size compare with with similar projects in the Pattaya area.

Pattaya would not be my choice to purchase property due to the perceived high levels of crime in the area but my wife has family in Bangsaen beach....My prefered choice of location in Thaland is Hua Hin ????? ...............katerina please send photos other than off website...thank you

CONSIDERING BUYING A 2 BED CONDO IN A NEW PROJECT ON THAPPRAYA RD, PATTAYA (facing buddha image).......name of project DIAMONDSUITES....any local info on location, project, or developer would be greatly appreciated......i am not in thailand at the present time.....
