grabitanrun Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Hey All, About 10-12yrs ago I had a few properties built near the reservoir (Mabprachan), but I'm finding that it's getting a lot busier these days. I'd like to find some land around 45-60 minutes from Patts to build another house so I'm still near enough for shopping and see the odd movie but far enough away from the madness to have a peaceful life - any suggestions?

guzzi850m2 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Yes somewhere south out out near the vineyard or nonouch garden. I personally would not like to live outside a moo baan, the risks of unwanted intruders are just too great in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigt3365 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Quite a few nice locations from Huay Yai South. Quite heavy traffic on weekends into and out of Pattaya. Sometimes very bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggt Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Know a guy who built an expensive home out in the boonies...had a good thing going...until one day his house was surrounded by men with automatic weapons...he was encouraged to come up with an extremely large sum of money to continue to maintain his lifestyle or suffer the consequences...he slipped away during the night and left everything behind... Now he is back living in the relative safety of the city... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Go east? When driving home leaving Sin City I sometimes drive east crossing highway 36 to road 3240 (ending on highway 331). It's still a quiet "rural" greenish area. On a hilltop there is a first village project being built. I don't know the actual status, just a Thai only website: http://longview.co.th/ https://goo.gl/maps/TaTBnax99mT2 17 km on the road to Pattaya beach rd. By theory(!) to be done in 25 min To me it looks like moving further east from the east/darkside might be the next expansion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grabitanrun Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 I DO like Bang Saray but there's quite a lot of building going on there right now, so a few years and it will be another concrete jungle. As far as distance, it's about right and I know there's a few quiet roads nearing that area, not sure of land prices though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the one on the left going towards the 331 with a couple of large grey walls (not joined together) and opposite some other construction on the other side of the road - looks like some sort of rainwater catchment? If it is then has been derelict for a while if not then apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailand49 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I was in a meeting last year with a guy who is well involved with what is going on in Pattaya. The topic turn to the other side of the Maphrachan Lake area which is run by the Pong Municipal and one of the official mentioned that they have plans to build a large city out there? Someone also mentioned the large land area as you are going out on Soi Siam just as you hit the lake by the establishment Venue! I also heard rumors from someone at Planet Football that the land at the junction of the traffic light where the 7/11/Mini Lotus/ and the Motorcycle shop is located that a Big C or Lotus is planning to be build. Sorry to give you the wrong impression but everything I have heard is rumor and speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he is back living in the relative safety of the city... Exactly the same thing happened in many villages in Southern Europe, it's nothing new, the advertisement read like this, ''Old Farmhouse For Sale'' great potential to renovate, live in or sell, many were sold and then renovated with new foreign retired residents moving in,, then oddly enough stories of house assaults, murders, beatings were common news, so buy many dogs, then the news stories were, house assaults, murders, beatings, guard dogs found poisoned,, residents killed, what do we do ?

I have been using 3240 frequently since the New Year and judging by how wide they have made it, all the way to the Mabprachan junction, it is destined for heavier traffic. I am pretty sure the land values / rai around there have been creeping up accordingly. Long View is in a beautiful location in Khao Mai Kaew but their home plans look like the typical holiday homes being touted in the newer villages on Huayyai down to Siilver Lake. Big on windows, moderate on floor space, tight on land and bugger all storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
