there are a lot people who move to Pattaya and set up a business for a hobby regardless of whether it earns money or not. That hurts the other people who actually need to make a living. ALso, there is an over-supply of every business in Pattaya. During the peak of high season, like now, it looks great, but show up throughout much of the year and you will wonder how anyone keeps food in their stomachs.

What do you do in Samui?

Pattaya is far cheaper to live in,

about price of leases,house rental,

id you live on the west side of sukhumvit, and as you have been here 10 years, you are used to Thai style, I am sure that you could be very happy with a 12,000 baht per month 2 bedroom 2 bathroom house in a secure moo ban close to town.

"if you are bored with paradise" - Pattaya is certainly THE PLACE to go, i promiss you it is no paradise (nasty people call it the opposite)

yes, it is a bit cheaper than Samui, and there are much more people in every possible business!

it practically is the same, opening a business now in Pattaya, or throwing your money down a gully - maybe this way it will last longer!

Anyone who tells you otherwise, will just want a piece of it!

sorry to disappoint you, don't have to believe me, just don't say later you havn't been warned! :o:D

  What do you do in Samui?  bar and restaurant!

  Pattaya is far cheaper to live in, and far bigger in buisiness terms

about price of leases,house rental,

12;000 is ok but is there anywhere secure to live in thailand burglars abound in samui!

I also left Samui for Pattaya, after 3 yrs on the Island....I came to Pattaya in 1997. Pattaya as well as Samui sure has changed a lot. You will have a nice change of life and appreciate all the amenities of a medium sized city, being close to Bangkok, Rayong, Koh Samed, Koh Chang..and soon the new airport.

I drove down to Smaui for a visit after 7 yrs of absence....I was shocked to see how many foreigners and how crowded and over developed the place had become...It looked like some Spanish resort....Anyhow Pattaya is definetely no Paradise but there is a lot to do, living is substantially cheaper, lots of supermarkets, movie theaters, restaurants etc...The schools in the area are quite good, since a lot cater to the expat community. I am sure you will enjoy the diversity after 10 yrs on the Samui coconut plantation....I have had few regrets since I left.... :o

I took a run down to jomtien beach in November and it was quite busy with lots of europeans, more than Pattaya on the same day...However how these people spend their money I dont know....didnt see a lot of action in the bars or food houses....just a lot of people tanning...Nighttime action I didnt see.
