Jomtien - 10 baht to Pattaya.

Why not try Phuket, you would like it I'm sure

[OldAsiaHand]

The problem with Phuket, of course, is that it is unquestionably the most expensive province to live in anywhere in Thailand.

[davethailand]

The stories about Pattaya being "nasty" come from the mainstream media I think. I remember reading a story in a U.S. magazine 3-4 years ago about Pattaya. It was real negative saying how much violence there was in Pattaya. Murders of farang abound according to this article.

A falang secret, Bangsaen. 45km north of Pattaya.

When I first visited Pattaya in about 1989, it was really dirty and everyone was asking you if you wanted to buy Heroin. Also, all the rich tourists that now go to Phuket were going there so it was expensive, and just crammed with people.

I think that is where the bad rep comes from, but they have cleaned it up a lot.

I like it now.

go live in Russia!...plenty of pussy and cheap vodka. Got to watch out for them gangsters and the winter weather...

Pattaya has always had a "sleeze" atmosphere to it but over the years it's gained a little respectability. I really like the seafood there and in Ban Saray.

[Yohan]

What about SONGKHLA in South Thailand?

The only problem is, it is really far away from Bangkok.....

I like also the area near Chumphon........

Otherwise, if you prefer near Bangkok, just stay not too far away of Pattaya, like Jomtien.........

Very soon easy to access after opening of the new international airport.

It is difficult to say, this or that place is better or worse, depending on your needs, I can only recommend you to check out several places in Thailand in all directions.

I also found Chiangrai a wonderful place to live in, however I prefer a place near to the sea...

No point. I work here in Russia and most of the pussy heads to LOS for the winter anyway!

They can pick up a nice tan work the punters at the same time, lots of Euros and Dollars to be made.

The Russian mafia even have their winter palaces in the LOS these days.

[tutsiwarrior]

stocky...I stand corrected...

[Stocky]

stocky...I stand corrected...

I hadn't realised how much 'trade' there was until I started working here.

And it constantly amazes me how much Russian I hear in Thailand these days.

Small world.

besides that,,Russian pussy tastes kinda like cabbage and beets.55555

That is not a problem, its a blessing, it keeps the dread locked backpackers out and whoremungers in Pattaya.

Yep, but you're in the direct path of the Muslim extremists as they pour across the border!

[sonthaya]

You get what you pay for, I would still go for Phuket.

[lambada]

Nothing wrong with Hau Hin. I was there 2 weeks ago. Nice and relaxed.

[englishoak]

Bang Saen nice & quiet.Pretty close to pattaya if you get the urge. Rayong's not bad either

Hua Hin s'ok just avoid the nerds like erco

Chang Rai not too far from Chang Mai & quieter & a lot cheaper too.

Phuket is ok but very much falang land.

Bangkok. The traffics ###### but other than that it has everything or not if you prefer.

Khon kaen. capital of the ?? north? central? not bad but not a lot outside the city.

Kanchanaburi. A lovely area and still pretty good for everything and not far from the sea, mountains, north, borders, Bangkok.

You must be confusing Pratong with Phuket mate, I live in Rawai and it is pretty much the same prices as anywhere in Thailand.

Pratong is a different kettle of fish, greedy greedy money grabbing......

If you can stand an average of 45 degrees temperature and idiots on houseboards singing karaoke all night long.

[tutsiwarrior]

all night karaoeke on house boats?...totally unacceptable, sneak up on them in dug out canoes with dynamite and waste the bastids...

[englishoak]

AWWW cum on you guys, a little karaoke is fun. And after a lot of beer it's hilarious. Plus that weathers f-kin hot and thats why they sit in the middle of the river where it's cooler and you can take a swim. Besides the only ones being bothered are the fish.
