Hal65 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) Hi, I'm considering an extended stay in Thailand (nothing set yet, but I have the opportunity if I want) I looking for peaceful living in a beachfront property (small single room apartment with bathroom is fine). THe beach must be nice - I don't require a perfect picturesque beach, but it nice enough that it's always tempting me for a leisurely swim (or kayaking) Other requirements are reliable internet access (I work online) & reasonably close to grocery shopping. I'm looking for the least expensive area that meets this criteria. What are some good options? Edited January 11, 2011 by Delta223 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal65 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 koh chang look beautiful! I work quite a bit though (some days I do nothing but eat/work) so I would like internet access right fro mmy rental unit. Are there any other options for this setup?

happyrobert Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Koh Chang is a great place to visit but a bad place to live long term. LT housing is minimal and they will go to great extremes to take advantage of newbie farang. Suggest Trat mainland. Or, ifyou have a few extra $'s, Hua Hin.

KRS1 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Rayong or Ban Phe then Samed island is just a boat ride away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbojangles Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Rayong or Ban Phe then Samed island is just a boat ride away. I concur with the above, however the prices seem to be climbing at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keestha Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Check out the many small quiet beach resorts in Prachuabkhirikhan province (south of Hua Hin), going from north to south: Pranburi, Sam Roi Yot, Thap Sakae, Ban Krut, Bang Saphan Yai, Bang Saphan Noi.

hoppla Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 If you like a bit of quiet and dont mind being a bit remote from the tourist spots like Pattaya, Hua Hin, Phuket,...then I'd say Prachuab (an hour south of Hua Hin) is a nice place to stay.
