Laem Singh, Chao Lao (Chanthaburi): Simple holiday house/apt for 2 weeks?

[henrik2000]

Hello, i (living in the west) look for a simple holiday house or holiday apartment in the Chanthaburi beach settlements of

- Laem Singh (1st choice)

- Chao Lao (2nd choice)

NOT Khung Wiman

 

I searched the net for a long time and didn't find anything below 2500 THB/day – too much. You could also PM me your advice. I would like:

- about 11 days from Dec 1st and/or Jan 25th for 1 person + car

- some privacy, private parking, quiet (no tourist treks past my windows)

- no need beach front, but within 1,5 kms of beach

- pleasant terrace, garden or balcony (aware of mosquito threat)

- not hemmed in by ugliness or noise

- decent western bathroom incl hot shower

NOT ESSENTIAL: kitchen, aircon, on-site food, housekeeping

 

I happily do speak some Thai, but can't read or write. I could make an arrangement just by phone with a private landlord, but worry about reliability.

 

I understand you travel differently and better. I have been to the places mentioned above before, and to others, and would still like things as described above.

 

Thanks!

may I ask why NOT Khung Wiman?

I have been to the places mentioned above before, and to others, and would still go to Laem Singh or Chao Lao, it's a personal preference.

On a recent visit, I was surprised to see how they have spent a lot of money developing Kung Wiman.

I usually stay at Ao Kung Kraben.

There are a few villas/ houses around there. I just stay at a resort.

 

Seashell Village Resort
ซีเชลล์ วิลเลจ รีสอร์ท is very nice.
