Isn't Sattahip only about 30 minutes (at most) past Pattaya straight down Sukhumvit? Rayong (the town itself) is probably about an hour.Quote:

oh could be. I thought sattahip was further than rayong, but i could be wrong.
Sattahip much closer to Patters than Rayong.
Ban Saray much nicer. Just up the road from Sattahip.:)
stay in central/ north pattaya
No use in alianate yourself in a remote area where the presens of thais is to intense. It will cause damage to your brain.
You will regret it within weeks.
Pattaya and only Pattaya
Get a bike, a good girl and enjoy the foodscene in pattis, the grand cinemas, the entertainment and the great gyms. Get laid and get in shape
Yeh, but Route 36 to Rayong is much faster.Quote:

Can be a real pain route 36. I agree that Ban Saray is good. Close to Patters and fairly unpolluted.
thanks for all the clues. I think jarne has given me the best idea but I will have a look at Ban Chang
Ban Chang quite polluted I think.
We have a block of dirt with an old house on it in the northern part of Sattahip.
Not many farangs down that way. Basically an all Thai area. Lots of Thai navy guys around the place because of the big naval base there.
A few nice new Thai style housing developments along the highway.
Baht buses run up and down the highway all day up until 6pm. Can be a very slow trip with frequent stops with all the school kids. After hours its private taxi or private car to get home from Pattaya at night. Would probably set you back about 500 baht these days?
Not a place I would choose to live myself, but the wife has family there.
There is nothing there. Both places.
Ban Chang too close to Mapthaput Industrial estate. Expect hair loss & teeth falling out.
couple of great links from dirty dog. it is starting to look as though my first option of pattaya is the best option. I hear that there are nice cono/apartments available around 6000 thb, is this accurate?
inaccurate.Quote:

doesnt need elaboration. does it?
If you disagree with something then this would hopefully assume that you actually know something about the subject in question. That being the case why not 'elaborate' with a little more information.
Person 1 "Is your name John"
Person 2 "No"
I mean how hard is it to say no my name is not John it is James?
There are several 100 thousand rooms for rent in Pattaya, how elaborate would you like it memock?
There are not nice apartments or condos for 6,000baht per month rent in Pattaya, end of story.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder DD, now go away. :)
ok I know a thai who has a condo in a complex with a pool etc who told me she pays 6000 thb, just trying to find a bench mark for when I am trying to work the best deal for myself
