Over the last couple of years Kanchanaburi has grown on me - I have taken to like the region and several of its town a lot. There are also quite a number of farangs in the area, some of whom appear here. However, wife and her Thai family gravitates towards BKK with frequent visits and also with some business in Samut Songkram, Nakon Phatom has come on the radar screen due to its location between BKK, Kanchanaburi and the road south. It is a compromise logistically.

We drove around there in April to get an impression of the area. It seems quite nice to me. However, I never read anywhere about expats choosing to live there. Are there some on this forum who live there and can give their view?

118 views of this topic and no one has an educational comment about Nakhon Phatom - did I say something wrong??

Hi Frank La Rue,

No you did not say anything wrong, but I just drive by there to get to Kan each week hence no post from me

Win from Kan

P.S. to make you feel a little bit better, just gave you 2 ++ for you posts

I live in Nakhom Pathom. It has a few expats mainly teachers. But i gotta tell ya its rubbish living here you should live some where else..............

Na just kidding, most of us choose to live here cos it doesnt have many expats. But i think its a nice place, has some nice normal drinking bars, 3 nightclubs lots of food places etc etc. oh and its only 40 mninutes from Bkk.
