bangkokjulia Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 How are you all? Just wondering if anyone here lives at Bang Saen? Considering a move there. Just after general info eg rental market, pros and cons. Should I also consider any nearby areas? Thanking you all in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 My good friend lives there. Because he flies in and out of Swampy several times a month. If it wasn't for that, he'd probably live elsewhere. According to him, the shopping is a bit limited and traffic is getting really bad on that stretch of Suk. But I think that's the case for all of it! LOL They do a lot of their shopping in Pattaya and are down here a lot for entertainment, visiting with friends, etc. But they've got a really nice house not far from the beach. A few hundred meters. Most who live in that area are Thais, or Japanese further down in Sri Racha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokjulia Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Thanks Craig-I have heard about the traffic-especially at the weekend. I have read many good things and a few not so good. Looking forward to getting down there soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 The traffic in Sri Racha every morning is pretty bad. About like we have in Pattaya now! Weekends are tough. Everybody coming in from Bangkok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokjulia Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 That is a definite negative-although I guess traffic is pretty bad everywhere these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangsaenguy Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Traffic is bad on weekends but Sriracha is much worse. Shopping is ok. Big C Extra, Lotus, and Central are fine. A few import items need to be bought in Pattaya but not much. Tops in Central is ok Edited June 11, 2015 by bangsaenguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddinChonburi Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Bang Saen is now very bad on weekends and Holiday's I moved just north to Chonburi city, many more choices for cheap food and the old Forum Plaza Mall is very close. Very good night market by the pier. Central Festival mall is at the corner of 3 and 361 you can see it on Google maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Madcow Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) We move to Bang Saen a few month ago, And we love it here. Live in my wife house a few minute from the beach. Week days are so nice and quiet here, and we love that, In the week end and holidays many people come, We like that all so. Like have both during a week, Super for us. Only bad thing for us, there is no taxi here, only the baht bus (song thaew). And that they don´t come ordinary, some time every 10-20 minute, some time only once a hour. We don´t have a car at this point, So this is bad for us. Super cheap food here, wife and i can go out and eat, have water and a Cola and pay total 90-120 baht for 2 people, For us that cheap. Go to food center at shopping centers and pay total 120-140 baht for 2 people, Again, Super cheap for us.
