Hello, my name is sadman and I drink because I live in bloody London and want to live full-time in Cherngtalay, in the centre of the Pearl of the Andaman.

I live in a perpetual state of bliss, then I wake up and find myself in........ Pattaya ! (hmmmm, same thing actually)

Same as Jockstar... Lad Prao

South Korea but moving to Bkk in a few weeks

I would like to add that in my opinion the Isaan region would have a much higher score in this poll......if:

Downtown Bangkok

Bangkok & Pattaya

Now expensive apartment Suk Soi 38.

Moving soon to Pathum Thani house.

Someday to retire in quiet Sa Kaeo.

It is officially called the gateway to Issan. The locals claim to be from Issan. I call it the boonies. Located about 50 kilometers straight south of Loei near a village called Nong Hin. I just returned from Pattaya/Jomtien where I still have a condo. After a couple weeks in that super congested area I am always eager to get back home to the peace and quiet. If not for the condo and some business interests in Jomtien I would be quite happy to be a hermit.

Since I have been in Thailand so long I am quite a cynic. I have a great wife and we get along well BUT I keep the condo for a safety net. LOL!

Jealous of your very close proximity to Phu Kradeung... one of the truly great spots in Thailand.

Who are the sad 3 who "prefer not to say". What great secrets are you protecting???

you forgot Chiang Rai and Phayao maybe because I'm like just one of three farangers in Phayao and I'm the only one that's handsome.

This area is very scenic. I go to Kun Ming several times a week to drink beer on the mountain with a few friends.

I don't think I could handle the 9 kilometer hike to the top of Phu Kradeung so I have never been up there. I'm actually 5 kilometers toward Kun Ming from Nong Hin in a smaller village called Nong Gik. From the house it is about 35 kilometers to Phu Kradeung.

Wow.... that close, I'd be up there once a month or so.

It IS a bit of hike up... steep... and loooooong, (about 5 hours for us), but it's so breath-taking once you get up there it's worth it. We camped up there for a week. Too bad they don't have porters carrying people up, although they do carry everything else.

It was amazing to see rice cookers, cooking gas cannisters, stereos, huge suitcases, etc. getting hauled up there... I had to laugh at what some people considered "essential."

Loei is becoming my 2nd favorite province in Thailand with all the other terrific places up there from Dan Sai, Phu Ruea to Chiang Khan, Mekhong river, mountains, valleys, etc.

You really have picked yourself a great area, Gary.

I work in the Gulf and live in southern Suphanburi.

Why is it that I often find myself in the Tescos car park in amphur Suphan?
