My bf and I are moving to Thailand at the end of this month. I am in the software business, but we also want to start exporting some Thai products to Europe Africa and the US.

I need to be in an area where I can get at least DSL type internet connection and need not travel more than say 2 hours to an international airport as I travel all around Asia for my business.

I would prefer NOT to live in the city, but would like a house(bungalow) in the suburbs. Also be reasonably close the sea. Have decided it is time to get a life and enjoy weekends on the beach, have a massage at least once a week, good food, etc.

Plan to have a car and driver (see previous posting), but need to be conveniently located for general shopping. Also would like to be in an area where we might make both expat and local friends and they wont have to drive hours to visit us.

Have spent much time in Bangkok and Pattaya over the years.

Any comments/suggestions would be welcome.

Hello and welcome!

I'm not sure you'll get many responses for these questions in this forum..

If not, try and post in either Real Estate or Internet.. forums..

Good luck!
