It can be really difficult to find rental housing in Chanthaburi, though it depends in part on what you're looking for. There are not a lot of short time farang here, and not much in the way of services to help visiting foreigners. All the farang I know here have bought homes or had Thai famiy, employers or friends to help them find housing. You probably need to come and stay here for a while, get to know some people and ask around. It's certainly cheap enough to stay in a hotel or guest house while you're looking ...

Thanks for your input

Hi Mike,

As the previous poster said, there are no real estate agents around in Chanthaburi that could help you find a place. There are however plenty of empty houses about, so the best thing is definitely to come down here for a while and look around. One of the more popular places now is silaporn village which is a few km's outside of the city center. You can find a townhouse here for 3-5000 baht/month with ac's and furnitures as well if you're lucky.

There are also plenty of appartments around, but these are the shoe box sized places. An old place is called Taptim chan tower which goes for about 3200/month. There are also a lot of other, newer places available for around 2500-3500/month. These have all furnitures as well.

Tompa,

Hi Mike, just saw your post and wondered if you were still looking for a place in Chantaburi? As it happens we have a newly built 4 bedroom villa in Silarporn Ville - just 5 minutes drive from the city centre (Robinsons) amphur Muang. If you are still looking we would love to hear from you. Please pm me as I only registered here because I saw your post.

Thanks

Mike, we live in Silaporn Ville and it is a very nice 'suburb' . . . check it out with Mike as it can be quite a hassle renting from locals, in respect to work permit etc . . .

Hello,

I never been to Thailand let alone Chantaburi. But my good friend from Aussie name Harley Johnstone (the biker dude raw vegan) keep telling me great things about Chantaburi and it's fruits. Those fruit festivals should be real wonderful.

We like to go there and stay for about a year and see how it goes.

I did look at VISA info and it looks like we will need 90 day tourist visa (I am 45 now so I am not old enough to get "retirement VISA" in order to stay there.

Like one poster said above, we can stay in some hotel/guest house for a while until we find decent rental place for us to stay for several months. It will be four of us, my wife and two daughters age 15 and 16.

Harley said that accessing to the Internet is not a problem in Chantaburi. I wonder if there is high speed Internet available in those areas?

All we need is a place to live, Internet and fruits then we are all set. We surely will enjoy the natural beauty of those place such as beaches, mountains et al.

Many thanks for all of your help.

Chanthaburi is a great place to live without being overpriced as most tourist places are. From Chanthaburi you are only 15/20 min. from beach or mountains and you have a few major stores here such as Robinson's, tesco, makro and a couple of great hospitals. As far as internet I have broadband and have never had a problem. Rental as everyone has said are available but you have too be here to look around, and there are several guest houses and hotels that give good deals on longer stay's. Good Luck

Great and thanks!

I suppose the broadband you are talking about is DSL, correct? How fast download and upload bandwidth are?

If that so then I guess we need to live in rental place that is less than 4km to phone nodes (wire centers) for DSL to work well, right?

Do you have any idea of which guest house/hotels for us to stay (for about a month or less) while we look for house to rent for 6 months to a year?

Wonder if there is tennis courts available in Chanthaburi? What about racquetball and squash courts? What about disc golf course (I doubt there is one, but would be nice to build one as playing disc golf is a lot of fun)?

Thanks!

[jhc]

One more thing, what about vehicle rental? Can I rent/lease a vehicle in Chanthaburi? How much would it cost per month? Thanks

Chanthaburi is the durian capital of the world !! It's the most esteemed of all fruits (due to its health benefits) in many, if not all, South and SE Asian countries, most especially Thailand.

Try some when you get there.

Do you have any recommendations for very very quite (deserted) beaches and hotels between Chantaburi and Klaeng?

Very true!

They don't call durian the King of Fruits for nothing. I did eat lot of fresh durian via overnight shipment from Thailand to USA and it cost me $13/lbs (just meat including shipping). Durian is by far my favorite fruits! I am looking forward eating the freshest durian that falls right off from the tree! It is going to be heaven!

I get real interesting effect after eating a big meal of it... I suppose most of you feel the same...

My friend Harley Johnstone nickname is "Durian Rider" (you can find his videos in YouTube by searching for "durianrider".)

I understand that 25% of world annual production comes from Chanthaburi region, one of reason I want to live there

[relayer]

Yeah, I've developed a taste for it, too. It seems to "put something back", and generally makes you feel sabai sabai (quite well)...

My theory is that the arils (the edible part) are loaded with nitrilosides (nature's anti-cancer compounds).

Aril material is what's absorbed by the seed, to prepare it for rapid growth. Seeds (most notably apricot kernels, in this regard) are typically packed with nitrilosides for just this purpose -- to eliminate any abnormally-dividing cells during this critical initial stage of growth and leave healthy cells alone to go on dividing. If you've seen G. Edward Griffin's "A World Without Cancer" on Google video or have read up on the specific function of nitrilosides and their purpose in nature, then you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. It's no wonder the ancients cultivated this tree. They probably understood these things.

Living in the tropics for years now, from time to time, I tend to get sun-induced precancerous lesions on my face or arms/hands. Now, all it takes is a couple of days of eating durian (one or two locules per meal or so) and they clear up on their own. No need to go see the skin Doc to have them frozen off anymore. I suppose if I ate some durian everyday I prolly would never get any sun-induced lesions again (or any other cancers, for that matter...).

Here's an interesting page you might find informative:

Varieties of Durian

I usually find Mon Thong here in the south but that's just fine because they more often than not contain aborted seeds, which means, of course, more edible aril material and therefore better value for your money. I recently stumbled upon the wholesale lot here in town and now know where to buy them for as low as 20 baht/kilo (whole fruit). Supply is dwindling this time of year, tho, and, sadly, they are currently all out. Argh! I need my durian fix!

You might also consider the Ranong area, too (if Chanthaburi is not to your liking), as they are also a major producer. I might be moving that way myself if Hat Yai's meager supply doesn't improve soon...

Good luck.

Yes, I know about G. Edward Griffin's "A World Without Cancer" (I have that book). I did not realized that durian has good amount of nitrilosides. My taste buds and my mind says "eat eat eat durians" so I eat them. The closer to the nature, the better... It is no secret that if we eat variety of fruits in season, we would be much healthier as a result. I get tried of eating bananas (80% or so of my staple diet is bananas as it is the cheapest fruit by far in the States (USA)), so I am really looking forward eating all kinds of local fruits in season in Thailand and the amazing thing is even all (if not all) fruits in Thailand are still lot cheaper than bananas I buy in USA!!! Mind you that bananas are imported fruits!

See that link www.vitaminb17.org/foods.htm I think they have not tested durian, what would durian rank among those foods listed in that link? Low, medium or high for durian?

I just checked Ranong and it seems like a nice place. I think we will start with Chanthaburi first, but I would love to visit different places in Thailand and see how it goes.

Wow I am getting real excited and really looking forward!!!!

[relayer]

Oops. I think I got my province names mixed up in my last message. The second largest producer of durian behind Chanthaburi appears to be Rayong, not Ranong. They also appear to have an annual fruit festival around the same time as Chanthaburi and it looks like a rather nice place to live, too.

As far as nitriloside content of durian, my guess is it's high. Maybe as high as apricot kernels.

I know one of the highest is bitter almonds. Did you know that, in the States, growing a bitter almond tree on your property now is equivalent to growing a pot plant? Yep. They are both considered contraband and you will be arrested. The evil drug cartels have bought off the FDA and forced them to declare the bitter almond tree illegal. Amazing, huh?

That alone validates the efficacy of nitriloside therapy, and Mr. Griffin's and others' work. But, man, what a corrupt-to-the-core medical system we have in the States! It boggles the mind sometimes how low they will go to protect drug company profits. Absolutely criminal.

Yeah, I know what you mean by having one's taste buds and mind say "eat more durian." It's gotta be your system recognizing something in that fruit that your body needs. Besides all the other beneficial stuff, my bet is it's the nitrilosides, because you use them up fighting errant cells all the time. You also store excess in your gut, so once the reserve supply starts to drop, your mind gets that signal again to go eat more. Just nature in action, I guess...

And regarding bananas, they are sold by the bunch here (called a wee). A typical wee of the regular fibrous variety (the good, tasty kind that have a slight orange center to them) weighs around 4-5 lbs and usually sells for a grand total of around...[drum roll]...15 baht or so each. That's all. Compared to the States, well, there's no comparison...LOL

But there are exotic fruits here that are a little more premium-priced. I'll leave it up to you to discover them...

Chantaburi is a neat town. When did they get the Tesco? I made about 5 or 6 trips there, a few days each time, between 1996 and 1998 .. then a brief visit about 4 years ago.

Plenty of fairly sophisticated nightlife because of the international weekend gem market. Is that still going strong?

One thing that was impressive bout Chantaburi was the way the city was laid out .. a bit more spacious than some. The beaches I visited were nice, almost unused. Not the picture postcard look, but maybe that's a good thing.

I tried Trat a couple of times .. actually for 3 days, but it rained all day every day. I figured the rain gods were sending me a message.

[jhc]

Ha, I looked at the info about Ranong and it says it is one of wettest region. I said to myself, rain is always good for fruits so hmm... I checked Rayong and it is west of Chanthaburi. I think I will start with Chanthaburi unless anyone have better idea that I should start with Rayong. Just need decent rental house, broadband Internet, satellite TV and plenty of fruits, then we will be one happy camper. I guess one plus of living in Rayong is bit closer to Bangkok than Chanthaburi. (I guess some tens of KMs closer).

I am glad that durian has high nitriloside content. One thing for sure I ll be eating lot of durians in season! My wife likes it too, but my kids say yuck, maybe their taste buds change when we get there... In short, if ripe fresh raw fruits taste real good then I eat until I am no longer hungry and so on!

Yeah I knew about growing bitter almond tree being banned. Yeah we been deceived from head to toe on many things, especially health. Yes it is all about money and they don't give Rat's ass about anyone's health. That is why I keep telling people to trust no one but his/her own brain. Yes it is more work but it is best way to live!

I agree 100% with you about the sorry state of our modern medical establishment. It would be better for mankind (but not for fishes) if all drugs/medicines are throw into the sea! The closer to the nature, the better. The best is taking a ripe fruit from a wild fruit tree and eat it, the worst is eating McDonald's Big Mac Super Sized meal. The best is being you and the nature, the worst being too many humans being middlemen between you and the nature (i.e. processing, cooking, et al)

Both of my parents died from cancer (they were into 80's but still) and what I have seen of both of my parents went through, I vowed myself never to go through of what my parents went through. All of drugs/medicines/chemo are all nasty. The simplest answer of 'em all is eat fresh ripe whole fruits and veggies in it's natural state (the raw natural state as it exist from the mother nature). Fruit and veggies have everything what our body needs, none the less. With best optimal inputs for our body, then our body maintains it's healthy state all the times.

I used to think that getting cancer was a fact of life and it is nothing we can do about it except try to detect early and then treat with all of that shit like drugs/medicines/invasive surgery/chemo. That is what I really thought for first 42 years of my life until I realized I was fool to think like this 3 years ago. I was conned big time. Better late than never. It is never for most people so... In short, our body knows what to do and maintain it's healthy state given the right conditions such as fresh fruits/veggies, good sleep, clean air, clean water, exercise, avoid stress, happiness/laughter and avoid anything toxins (cleaners, chemicals et al). Health is strongest at it's weakest link. We don't need freaking anybody to mess up with our body with drugs et al.

It is interesting that I did tell many people of what I said here and they totally agree with me and the reasoning/thinking, but yet old habits die hard and they get to continue to eat processed crap aka SAD (SAD = Standard Amiercan Diet), but they do realized they need to eat more fruits and veggies, but continue to eat meat and dairy products which are not real foods for us in any shape or form. Maybe some early detection of cancer would wake them up and take real changes for themselves as it is never too late to do anything for the better.

Yeah I agree with you about "natural instincts" by following our senses of smell, taste, feel, look. If it really taste good from the nature then it has to be good for us by making a meal out of it in it's natural state.

15 baht wow, I ll be looking forward for bunch of them. I also cannot wait for young Thai coconuts which should be plentiful!! (Been buying young Thai coconut organic one for about $3 each in the States!)

Thanks I ll be looking forward exploring those new exotic fruits! A very good Thai fruit guide is www.thaicooperative.com/download/fruits.pdf Any missing fruits that are not in this guide? I really miss mameys that grows in South Florida, it is football shaped looking and it taste like very sweet potatoes (it is orange in color). Looks like it does not grow in Thailand.

I enjoy this thread here Many thanks!

[jhc]

I tried Trat a couple of times .. actually for 3 days, but it rained all day every day. I figured the rain gods were sending me a message.

What is Trat? Thanks!

[jdinasia]

Trat is a province a little further South from Chantaburi.

Whew, quite an aroma!

Maybe I can develop a liking for the fruit - I'll try because of the evident cancer prevention benefits I just learned by reading this thread ( ). BUT, my wife said durian are very very high in FAT and that I'd quickly skyrocket from 100kg to 150kg if I regularly ate them.

Hope you guys are on the thin side

[Lopburi99]

And if they are high in fat, should I assume they also may increase cholestral considerably? I'd hate to have an increased threat of heart disease as a result of trying to prevent cancer.

I ate lot of durians and I am still thin (actually I have 13% body fat and I am working to get down to single digits by being more active which I plan to do when I am Thailand (it is hard to do much when it is real cold outside as I live in Maryland).

It is amount of calories input versus amount of calories burned by your body. If more calories input than burned, then you will gain weight and vice versa.

Durian is about 28% of calories in fat so it is like durian is in category of "medium fat" compare with nuts and avocados being high in fat as they are usually about 60% to 80% of calories from fat. If you can check "The 80/10/10 Diet" book via Amazon (there is some short info/intro about that book as well customer's reviews), it is recommend to have 10% or less calories from fat for long term. The 80/10/10 refers to 80% or more calories from carbo, 10% or less calories from protein, 10% or less calories from fat.

It is like I eat durian as a meal which means I am eating 28% of calories from fat, but then later in the day I eat say mangosteen as a meal which I believe is under 10% of calories from fat so I end up average of like around 10% to 15% of calories from fat which is good. Let say I eat durians as a meal everyday for 3 months then my average ratio would be around 77/8/15, then I eat lot of sweet fruits rest of year (most sweet fruits are like around ratio of 90/5/5) so I probably end up around 80/10/10 which is a good baseline to start with. Too much fat (in terms of ratio) is not good as it interferes the blood sugar level which can lead into health problems such as diabetics.

If you can check/search "durianrider" in YouTube.com, he will tell you lot about 80/10/10 raw vegan in his videos. I learned about Chanthaburi and the fruits from him as he visited this area many times during May/June timeframe.

Good idea to earn our meals, i.e. having a good workout via various means, then when we are really really hungry then go for a meal of wonderful fruits! Then eat until we are no longer hungry. It is like self-limiting which is the reason why it is much harder to gain weight by just eating raw fruits and veggies alone. However I have to agree that it is easier to get more calories from durian than most fruits (except nuts, seeds, coconut meat, avocado) as there are more calories per gram of fat than carbo and protein.

I never never forgot the sight of really fat local people at beach in Costa Rica (in a town name Uvita, really really beautiful place!). I mean they brought pure junk foods like potatoes chips, corn chips, donuts et al along with 2 liters of Coke to the beach. I mean there are plenty of fruit stands on the road near beach and even there is plenty of "free" coconuts hanging from the trees at the beach. I said to myself "What happened?" That is why they end up being fat and would eventually run into lot of health problems. I also never forgot the owner of hotel where we stayed in Uvita being very fat (the fattest one I ever saw in Uvita) said to us to eat all the fruits we care for on his property (plenty of cashew apples and coconut water which we ate and drank as a meal a lot everyday for free), but he proceed to eat refried beans and hot dogs on his BBQ grill and he always drove in his van instead of walking even it is for very short trip even on his property. It is like "What are they thinking?" Well I was in same boat for my whole life until 3 years ago. Better late than never!

It is like three kinds of people: They don't know, or They knew but don't care (like smokers), or They knew and act.

[jhc]

And if they are high in fat, should I assume they also may increase cholestral considerably? I'd hate to have an increased threat of heart disease as a result of trying to prevent cancer.

Our body produce cholesterol in needed amounts by liver, we run into cholesterol problems by eating animal products such as meat, eggs, dairy products et al.

There are different kinds of fats, the fats from fruits/veggies/nuts/seeds are usually good (as long they are raw and fresh in it's natural state) while fats from animal products (which makes worse by processing/cooking etc) are usually not good.

Durian is in category of "medium fat" compare with nuts, seeds, avo, coconut meat being in category of "high fat". Sweet fruits are "low fat" category. I agree it is not god idea to eat nothing but durian for rest of your life. As long you eat variety of fresh fruits in season throughout the year, then it is fine. Mother nature have their reasons.

Mother Nature never broke the heart that Loved her! So just live as like it is just you and the nature, then you ll be fine!

[relayer]

Well, I just got thru watching Griffin's World Without Cancer again. Good review of the basic concepts.

I might also mention (as I have on the Health board a while back when this topic came up) that one good way to get a healthy, daily dose of nitrilosides in your diet in lieu of eating apricot kernels or other known concentrated forms is to simply include some peeled mung beans in with your rice mix before you cook it. Peeled mung beans look like tiny, yellow peanut halves, are definitely high in nitrilosides, and are readily found at either the main grocery stores or at the open air markets. I personally prefer a packaged brand (Raitip) found at Tesco and elsewhere because theirs is consistently the freshest. The other brands, and the bulk variety found at the traditional markets, are almost always too dried out and oxidized, and therefore their nitriloside potency is much weaker.

The way to tell is when you go to rinse the (1:1) rice/bean mixture before cooking it. If the water that pours out is strongly yellow, the beans are too oxidized. If the water is an opaque white (such as with the consistently fresh Raitip brand), then the nitriloside potency will be high and you can get the full effect. (also, remember to add just bit more water to compensate for the slightly longer cooking time).

I hope this is not starting to sound like some cooking show, but I wanted to relay (hey, I'm 'relayer', remember?) this one convenient, foolproof, low-cost, known method (it's actually the basis for an ancient Indian rice/mung bean dish known as a kichari) to easily get more nitrilosides into your daily diet so you can have more peace of mind and begin enjoying more optimal health. I've been using this regimen for a number of years now and, along with the occasional durian or two, it provides a power-packed, one-two punch against any developing cancer cells. I'm convinced of that.

jhc, with regard to the "Fruits of Thailand" pdf, the bananas I was referring to are the ones on page 2, lower rightmost side. Definitely the best variety, IMHO. And they also happen to be the most abundant and cheapest, too.

Also, one example of what you might call 'exotic' would have to be the 'dragon fruit'. I believe these herald from Vietnam, but I'm not sure. Regardless, they are a treat and one of my favorites. The red variety (nai see daeng) are the tastiest of the two. A little pricier but definitely worth it. Puts watermelon to shame...

[jhc]

Hey relayer,

I tried to look for nutrition data that tells how much nitriloside in durian on Internet but I could not find it. Wonder if you have a link that shows this info?

I am pretty sure (kind of common sense thing) that one lives a healthy life (eating variety of organic (chemical-free) ripe whole fruits and veggies in season, good sleep, avoid stress, happy/laughter, exercise, clean air, clean water, sunlight...). With this kind of lifestyle, it is like nothing would cause cancer cells to get "out of control"/"out of balance". There are varying amounts of nitriloside in some of those fruits that should do wonders for us as long we avoid stuff that really increase the chance of having cancers such as toxins, processed foods, etc... So I eat foods as it exist in it's natural state, i.e. in raw (uncooked) state. So I was wondering what mung bean would taste like in it's natural state? I could try It is true that cooking with water is "least invasive" form of cooking, but that is something that other 99.9% of species on Earth don't do (they all eat in it's natural state However I have to agree that I would eat rice/mung bean if there is no available fresh fruits/veggies to eat rather than eating Big Mac. A line between thriving and surviving. However you do have a point that it pays to try to eat nitriloside-rich foods time to time.

In short, the human greed is one of the biggest cause of human disease & sickness (cancers et al).

Greed or not, there is no way for us the humans to be able to outsmart Mother Nature. I did read a medical textbook about cells (Intro to Physiology) and even cell itself is very complex enough, let along the intercellular communication among trillions and trillions of cells in our bodies, at that point, I close that book and realize that we have no way to outsmart Mother Nature. Yes we did make some progress, but it is like pissing in the ocean trying to make it yellow. So let's enjoy Mother Nature and it's fruits!

I normally buy organic fruits/veggies in the States, I was wondering if there is organic fruits/veggies available in Chanthaburi as well many parts of Thailand?

I would hate to eat fruits/veggies that are laced with all kinds of 'cides that are made by companies like Monsanto et al!

In 1950's there used to be slogan "Better Living Through Chemistry" Ahhhh!

Great, I ll be looking forward for that bananas and dragon fruit! Aren't watermelons down there better than ones we have in the States?

jhc,

This topic is continued on the Health, Body and Medicine Forum under "Mung Beans, Durian, And Nitrilosides".

See you there...

Property no longer available - SOLD.

Thanks for your interest.

Hi I posted this on the Pattaya forum but thought I would try "Central" as well

Am cotemplating a move to Chantaburi and would like to rent a property for 6/9 months but cannot find anything to lead me to an agent or an individual so far.

Just wondering if anbody had some contact(s)

Thanks

Hi Mike, just saw your post and wondered if you were still looking for a place in Chantaburi? As it happens we have a newly built 4 bedroom villa in Silarporn Ville - just 5 minutes drive from the city centre (Robinsons) amphur Muang. If you are still looking we would love to hear from you.

Thanks

Mumin

[mangopudding]

I'm potentially interested in a long-term rental as well. Are houses in Silarporn Ville fenced off from their neighbours? I'm sure there may be others besides the one that is sold. A property with some privacy is a must!

Hi there, there are several types of properties in Silarporn - from cluster houses to big private detached houses. If you are interested you should come and visit and make enquiries at the office to see if there are any properties for rent. Also venture into the shopping area - just ask for the barbers/launderette etc as these guys know pretty much everyone in the development and may be able to tell you if there are any properties available.

We've sold our property there and just stay in Rayong now whenever we visit.

Good luck!
