Hua Hin seems interesting for somebody looking for a cool, quiet life, more quiet than Pattaya 👌

@BrendenSharp 16 күн бұрын

Yes I agree. It looks much quieter. 👍

I've been there about eight X since April 2023, including last week. Hua Hin has less traffic, quieter beach, way fewer beer bars, but is a little further from Suvurnabhumi, and probably has nowhere near as many modern high rises with one bedrooms or studios, with swimming & fitness

I've seen a few videos of some really nice one bedroom and studio apartments with a pool and a gym that do seem cheaper than Pattaya and Jomtien. Do you think you need a motorcycle to get around as it appears the Baht bus system isn't as good as Pattaya and Jomtien?

When I say "...with fitness and pool...", I mean I want to live near the night market and the hospital, not far from The Hilton. When I tell Thais I'm headed there, they call it "boring". When my lease is about to expire I'll have a realtor show me some vacancies. I love that if doesn't have a ton of beer bars

The Hilton Resort & Spa is right on the beach isn't it? That looks like a great location. What's your budget to get a one bedroom condo near there?

Mobile phone data plans are exactly the same in Hua Him and Pattaya. The price difference in your chart is because the price contribution varies because the distribution of plans people are using in the two cities. Same goes for most of the other prices except rent, transportation and restaurant prices

Yes I thought that was the case. Have you or do you live in Pattaya or Hua Hin?

I want to visit south east Asia but it’s just too damn hot to live there forever. I’m looking for an eastern European equivalent to south east Asia. Something like Romania Slovenia, Albania Montenegro, southern Italy we’ll see.

Thanks for your input David. I spent a month in Jomtien at the start of the year and had no problem with self control as I place a high value on staying fit and healthy above everything else.

@jpp5401 Thanks for your input. It's great to get real information from someone who's living in Pattaya on the essential items that everyone needs if they intend to live in Pattaya. Can I ask you what visa are you on, and do you intend to permanently stay in Pattaya or travel around?

@roygoad2870 4 күн бұрын

Waste of time those charts. All depends on individual lifestyle. The only way to choose where to live is boots on the ground, stay at least a month in both places imo! Personally I would say Pattaya is cheaper than any other touristy town in Thailand

@BrendenSharp 3 күн бұрын

A few people have suggested that Hua Hin is even a little cheaper than Pattaya.

Yes you're right. Eventually everywhere goes up due to supply and demand.
