Peterw42 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 OP, I know what you are looking for and I am sure there are some areas with a German population. A good indication would be the local restaurants etc, drive around and find the German Swiss etc restaurants and chances are thats a German expat place.

NamKangMan Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 5 hours ago, beachproperty said: If you want to settle where there is the most German speaking people.....Settle in Germany! That's a bit harsh BP. Most expats indulge in foods, alcohol, movies, and sports from their home country here. They certainly tend to frequent establishments that cater for certain nationalities, usually due to the owner being of the same nationality. Nothing new about this. In most cities, all around the world, certain immigrants end up in certain areas. Many times these areas are given nick names. Eg. Little Italy, China Town etc. The OP left himself exposed to a post like yours, but I would think he is just enquiring where most of his fellow countrymen are residing so it's easier for him to meet new friends through ease of conversing. A newbie has to start somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A change in the kind of people one lives around? A change of cultures? All I was saying that if he wants to settle to be around Germans .....settle in Germany Edited March 28, 2017 by beachproperty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven100 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 If you want more germans around then live in germany. Isn't it strange that in tourist areas like Phuket and Pattaya there are germans, brits, americans and many other nationalities ...... who would have guessed !!

grumpyoldman Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 beachproperty and phuketjock you guys must be pretty bored to spend time banging out troll posts.............why not provide a civil answer or just not post (?) as opposed to sarcastic nonsense. Get real. OP stop in for lunch at Fatty's in Chalong and get the opinion of the owner there. Also, possibly consider what it is you like to do everyday, what is important to you in your daily life and decide which part of the island provides that for you as opposed to ethnicity of neighbors. Cheers to all and carry on ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deli Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Patong has a German / Austrian triangle around the Patong Grand Condo, otherwise you find lots of German speakers in Chalong, Rawai and Nai Harn However, most of them are retirees and older, so not always an exciting company...

There are several German-owned bars and hotels on Phuket; and specifically in Patong. I like the Mangmoom Bar and Cross-Roads Guesthouse, Patong. Snorre is the owner; he knows almost every German in Phuket, the food is great, and the rooms are clean, convenient and reasonable. Look them up on facebook and talk to Snorre.

Bogbrush Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 As far as Rawai goes, there's a fair bit of German activity: Guzzlers on Rawai Beach Rd is German owned, the Deutche Bundesleague (a small bar down a Soi off Sai Yuan) the Garten Lauben restaurant on Sai Yuan 1, and of course Fattis as mentioned by the GOM earlier.

mrmicbkktxl Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Oh man,he asked a normal question and used normal language,if you can't answer why bother with stupid input?TV is a forum for all kind of nationalities,if you don't like certain nationalities keep it for you or leave the forum or open a forum by yourself with nationalities you prefer. Like somebody else said,there are many german,austrian and swiss restaurants,specialy Patong,I'm sure you will find information there. By the way google is your friend,I found this 'Fruehschoppen Phuket' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nurseynutcase Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Kata/Karon has many German/Swiss bars and restaurants, also German bakery in Karon. OP - suggestion? If you are thinking of living here why not spend a few weeks in a hotel in all of the areas previously mentioned? Then you might get a better viewpoint of where you would like to eventually settle.
