Where Do People Live?

[skippybangkok]

Hi,

was hunting TV were falangs live (not where want to, but actually do ). Any threads / URLS appreciated. Found some on where people want to live, not sure though it represents where they actually live.

You mean people with kids since you are posting in the family section?

One option

was kinda looking where to post, please move to right forum . Not sure where it should go

[sbk]

You are interested in which locations the general population of ThaiVisa lives then, not anything particularly family oriented?

I think there was a poll done a while back.....

Anyway, moved to the general forum

[lannarebirth]

Maybe you should ask in the form of a poll listing different cities/regions as choices. Anyhow, I live near Chiang Mai.

I live in Phu Kradung Loei where my main house is.

I also have a place in Pattaya.

I prefer Loei by far, but..............Pattaya is still a great place for a visit every now and then, I just wish Pattaya was only as busy as it was 17 years ago, and not bursting at the seams with traffic. It's too much now and I would not want to live there full time.

Currently live in Sukhumvit. Am in the process of buying a place in Hua Hin and from the end of the year will likely live between the two.

In Pattaya you're better of with a hard-ender than with a weekender

Sorry to be thick; but where is Kabinburi?

I live in central Chiang Mai and also just outside Chiang Mai.

Kabinburi is "factory park zone". Kabinburi is on the 304 Road in Prachinburi Province - 170km's from Bkk, 180km's from Pattaya, 140km's from Korat & about 110km's from Arunyaprathet.

Cheers.

Hello Skippy,

I live in the small, but up and coming beach resort Khao Lak, Phangnga province, just north of Phuket.

Interesting thread, I have thought about initiating a thread about this.

Why don't you kick in a poll that roughly runs like this:

Do you live in

1) Bangkok

2) Pattaya

3) Chiang Mai

4)Phuket

5)Hua Hin/Cha am

6) Koh Samui

7) a smaller touristy place such as Ao Nang (Krabi) , Koh Phangaan , Koh Lanta or Chiang Rai

8) a non touristy city such as Suphanburi or Chumporn or Si Saket

9) a village or completely out in the sticks.

[thaigerd]

Phuket..............still.

Thank you - learn something new every day - I only know where Prachinburi is, as I had to look it up on the map last week.

Seemed to have lots of waterfalls, so was imagining it to be a bit more scenic than factory park zone.

No probs. Waterfalls only get turned on for about 3 months per year, but they are worth a day trip!

Had my house built 3 years ago 63 houses in Village

50km north west of BKK

Ok... we will set a poll for getting this benchmarked in TV.

I dont think I want to type the 72 provinces 1 by one, so I though categories of i.e.

Most probable:-

Bangkok

Phuket Island

Pattaya / Jomtien

Hua Hin / Cha Am

Chiang Mai / Chiang Rai

Rayong

And if people dont live close to them then

Central Thailand ( think it stretches from Kanchaburi thru to Cambodian border )

North Thailand

North East Thailand

South ( that leggy thing going south of Hua Hin )

Any other area's ? Cant go down to the level of Nakorn Nowhere, or Non Hin Hae

Cheers

tutsi is a righteous expat and lives in 'non - touristy' southern Suphanburi ...

Nakhon Sawan has a lot of Farang. I know it is central Thailand but still a major hub between North & South.

Not a bad place to live

[garro]

I live 120KM from the nearest city which is Phitsanulok in a place called Chat Trakan

[Lite Beer]

A small village in Khon Kaen. Love it.

I'm moving from Sukhumvit to the other side of the river - Pinklao.
