Hi guys, I am an English guy (39 years old) been living in Sydney for 13 years. I met my Thai soon to be wife here 5 years ago. We are moving permanently to Thailand next year and we recently bought a house in Nonthaburi. Her choice as it is closer to her family who live in Ayathuya.

I was just wondering will I bump into many expats around Nonthaburi or do most people live in central BKK? I was there for a few days in July and didn't spot any pubs anywhere, are there any?

Btw we are not living in Nichida (may have spelt that wrong) we are living on what looks like a mainly Thai estate a few clicks down the road.

Nope I think Nonthaburi still doesn't have whites

There are a few but not many.

Thanks guys

Im there seen enough others but you dont bump into them everyday.

No real pubs there for whites its more secluded. If your int pubs and fun your mostly wrong there. But if you can drive a car or motorbike you can get to Bkk easy. Also taxis ate easy to get better as in BKk

I like a night out at the weekend but my Thai partner doesnt drink so I have curtailed my drinking in recent years. If I have the odd night out and meet friends in Suk then it doesnt seem to ardous a taxi journey home. I am quite happy with the house she chose it is on a new development, I guess it would be nice if there was a local western type pub close by but it isnt the end of the world.

thats where the bkk hilton is, just a short walk up from the ferry stop. should be a quite few in there you can visit if you get desperate for some white company.

I've been living in Nonthaburi for several years now and still rarely see any farangs. I'm probably a bit out of the main bit though, living near Bang Yai / Sai Noi. Also I don't stray out from work and home often that probably has a lot to do with it ^^

Loads of golf clubs around that area.

i now just been here in bangbuathong, thanks for mrt and westgate central, now with ikea, slowly civilized the area, pub are mostly in rachaphreak and chayaphreak road areas, but again is thai style not western style.

I live in Bangbuathong area too, and no there are no farang pubs to my knowledge but the area is great.

Any expats out near Ratchapruek Road, Nonthaburi that fancy meeting up once in a while for a beer and a game of pool let me know as the trek to town is a pain in the a*#e!!!. I'm British, love football (LFC) and like a game of 8 ball (I know a bar with a table). Cheers
