LoongJohn Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Morning All! I'm planning to move to Thailand sometime in the near future with my Thai wife (married 40 years+) and planning to stay for 12 months - possibly longer, depending on how things turn out. We tend towards the quiet life. The various postings I've found on Thaivisa have so far been very informative, and I'm grateful. Working on the basis that the best way to get answers is to ask the experts, I would appreciate input on Rayong - can anybody tell me anything about the place? Cheers LoongJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers LoongJohn Ive been there a couple of times and the main attraction of it is Koh Samet... I love that Island Im sure you wouldnt have a problem finding i nice place in Rayong... Ive been to touristy islands like Samui and Tao etc but not Phuket.. but from where ive been i would have to say Samet takes the cake. That would be my main reason for moving over that way... Its a hop-skip and a jump to paradise... Anyone else agree??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megashox Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Yes, Samet is easily the best. Getting there is not as easy as the other islands and thats probably what keeps it so pristine. LJ, if you are moving to Rayong, you would have ample opportunities to visit Samet island, but it (Samet) is note the place to park your caravan if you want a reasonable social life too, other than just peace and quiet. I would highly recommend renting an apartment or a bungalow at one of the beaches on Rayong (mainland), Ban Phe being one of my personal favourites. Being there, you are not so far from town and you can also make it to Samet and back in a day. Rayong - you'll love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32x Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Gotta agree Samet is a great island.The sea food is some of the best ive eaten in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadFrankie Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 has to be said though... Phi Phi and Lanta are probably better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
