Farma Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 There is/was a village near the cambodian border east of Surin that had a very high percentage of villagers married to german/austrian/swiss. I remember reading a Bangkok post supplement many years ago that claimed every family in the village had a member married to someone from those countries.

MJCM Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I guess you have never been to Naklua North Pattaya ? I think more Germans there then there are Thais. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Pattaya has a huge Scandanavian community. Big German/Swiss/etc community also. A real mix. I think there are German communities in every major tourist city. Just need to figure out where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seligne2 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) Get a copy of Der Farang at a newsstand. Call or email them and ask where they sell the most copies. http://der-farang.com/de Edited December 23, 2015 by Seligne2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you never know. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 In absolute numbers there is no doubt that Pattaya is leading. Naklua is still a German stronghold although its on the decline/expulsion. Countless meeting points with bars/restaurants in Soi 33, 31, 18/1, 18 and down to Soi 12. German food, football etc. pp. Meeting points: does not mean they all live in the area but are scattered over Naklua, Eastside and Jomtien. But really not so many couples or younger people, mostly pensioners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manarak Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 One more vote for Naklua in North Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitkof Island Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 And did you read where they met their husbands boyfriends ? Want to take a guess ? There is/was a village near the cambodian border east of Surin that had a very high percentage of villagers married to german/austrian/swiss. I remember reading a Bangkok post supplement many years ago that claimed every family in the village had a member married to someone from those countries.

grumpyoldman Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I think a lot of Germans like Khao Lak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seligne2 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I think a lot of Germans like Khao Lak. Having lived in KL I can second GOM's comment. But KL's population overall is minuscule, so that's not a lot of Germans in absolute numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But KL's population overall is minuscule, so that's not a lot of Germans in absolute numbers. I agree, most of the year Khao Lak is pretty quiet. Did my best business there Christmas-end of February and then whoooosh, everybody gone. Can't tell if the poster is after meeting with a lot of German speakers (partytime?), which I think other posters have mentioned would be parts of Pattaya, or just a few Germans whilst balancing that with a very nice part of Thailand which is Khao Lak. Unclear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) Just to be complete: of course there other places where German (speaking) expats are living e.g. in Isan. But quite scattered and by no means in the number range of Pattaya. "Expats": I assume the OP referred to those living on a long time basis not holiday makers. Udon Thani has well established German restaurants, bakers, butchers. In Khon Kaen there was (is?) a German speaking regulars' table ("Stammtisch"). Language barriers might arise as some German speakers use heavy accents (Bavarian, Austrian, Swiss German).
