Lopburi99 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hello. I am starting to look for a location to move to which is near the sea (or a large body of water), picturesque, and affordable, complete with a lovely breeze. No need for night life, other than a few nearby restaurants for karaoke and music/drinks in the evenings. My wife and I would like to rent a small house first before buying. Something within sight of the water but not right on it (for affordability reasons). A short walk to the water/beach would be just fine. Somebody mentioned maybe Pranburi? Any other suggestions? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcallagmy Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I would suggest anywhere from BangSaray (south of Pattaya but easy drive in), BanChang, and other side of rayong in BanPhe. I have/am living in all locations and all would suit your needs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have/am living in all locations and all would suit your needs... Thanks kc. I'll plan on driving around in that area, then stay in a few resorts. It would take some adjustment for me because the weather I am told is much more rainy there. Appreciate the information very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 You ought to check out the other side of the Gulf too. Hua-hin, Cha-am (or maybe a bit further south) area is very pleasant and still under development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun Jean Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Ban krut, south of Prachuap Khiri Khan, is my favorite. Quiet, nice beach, small town, still very 'Thai'. Bought some land there for later. Stayed in a nice bungalow for around 10.000 baht a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I would say there is plenty of beachfront available in Chumphon , still relatively unspoilt beachfront for 1 million baht per rai see photo no other houses here virtually, 15 minutes to Chumphon town. Just offshore the islands as well just ask a local fisherman they will take you there very cheaply all day. I wont last but there you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No there are no resorts on that beach and a fair few others down there I looked at in fact there is a Thai man building 4 very nice houses on the beach there and they are the only ones down the whole stretch of beach. Price was about 7-8 million baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Bang Saphan also. Only the sea is not really suited for swimming. On many places the water is very muddy. Chumphon beach land plots were 800k for a rai 5 years ago. If they are 1 Million now it reflects its popularity. Being alone along a beach is not the wisest thing to do in Thailand, ask any Thai. But at the same time it offers a investment oppertunity. Once more places are sold and actually houses are being build, the price will shoot up quickly. When?? 5 year, 10 year, 30 year?? Anybodies guess.

Garret Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Having lived in Bkk for well more than a decade I felt it was time to leave and relocated to Pranburi, I have been down here for 3 years and it very much would meet your requirments. My wife and I live about 1000m from the beach and we love it. There are more and more little restaurants opening all the time and Pranburi itself has a new Makro and Tesco...AND when we are in the mood for the bright lights of the big city, Hua Hin is 30 min away...
